Name: Middle Ground
Nickname(s): None yet!
Gender: Female
Physical Appearance: She is quite a small kimeti, well under the average as far as size goes. Her dark eyes seem to throw out ambient shadow instead of light, but otherwise there is nothing outstandingly remarkable about her appearance.
Personality: Middle Ground is quiet and inquisitive. She spends much of her time exploring the swamp on her own, moving at a pace that will allow Slow Down to keep up. She has a tendency to think out loud when she is making observations by herself, letting thoughts bubble up even as they occur to her, considering them and accepting or shooting them down vocally.
When spoken to directly, however, she often pauses and stops to consider her words, unwilling to say something until she had made a definite decision about such things. She is not intimidated by company, though she is not used to it, and is just as happy to make a new friend as to be alone.
She is very moderate in all of her physical expressions of emotion. She might be consumed from the inside out by raging curiosity, but all she will do is allow for a slight c**k of the head. Perhaps she is quite angry at someone or something, but she will only flick her ears back slightly. This control only occasionally slips.
Her link with Slow Down has gotten stronger as she's aged. Likely this is why she is so careful and slow when she interacts with people, and the source of her constant self-moderation in regard to her emotional responses to others.

Name: Slow Down
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
History: One summer morning, this sizeable tortoise stopped her endless plodding through the swamp, her search for tender leaves to gobble interrupted by an unusual find. The tortoise was not among the swamp's brightest creatures, but even she could sense the embryonic mind of the larval kimeti suspended in the sack before her.
She remained near the sac until it hatched, a mere two days later, and provided something for the blind baby to curl against. Though she occasionally wandered off to eat, she never went far, and always returned to the young kimeti's side.
As Middle Ground grew and started to explore the swamp, Slow Down followed her. She is the kimeti's constant companion now.
Personality: Like most tortoises, Slow Down is, most of the time, an exaggeratedly slow creature. She is not snappish with strangers, instead regarding all sudden events around her with a sort of dazed wonder, and is constantly wondering where the next fresh batch of leaves will be found. She seems to recognize and appreciate gestures of affection given to her from her kimeti, though.
