Welcome to Gaia! ::

Humming happily as she skipped through the streets, the little kuniku known as Shinju was having a wonderful day. Yumeji, the human who owned the art studio she lived in, had seen one of her pieces of art and thought it was particularly beautiful. "If I get featured in an art gallery... Oh, all of my dreams will come true!" She said with a giggle, dancing about on her paws.

As she rounded a corner, the petite girl's jaw dropped open at the sight before her. There was a type of kuniku she had never encountered before! Ah, and he had such a handsome face, accented by beautiful jewelry and fins. Being careful to avoid getting stepped on as she crossed the busy street, Shinju ran right over to Kekoa, her eyes bright like a child's as she moved in front of him. "You are the most gorgeous guy I have EVER laid eyes on! Won't you please tell me your name?" Her tail was held high in delight, wagging rapidly behind her.

"Kekoa, huh? It's very unique, and I think it suits you." She honestly had no idea what the name meant, or if it even had a meaning at all, but simply just by saying the name she thought it was fitting for the one it belonged to. "Hee hee. I'm glad that you asked, actually! My name's Shinju, and I'm going to be a Master Painter some day." She sounded quite proud as she revealed her profession to the stranger, although her eyes had begun to admire Kekoa's fins again. "I don't wanna sound rude or anything, but I'm guessing you're not from around here?" Shinju meant no harm really, but her curiosity had been piqued.
