Welcome to Gaia! ::

Maroo is an anthropomorphic red panda whose color has been "desaturated" for lack of better term. She has been blind since birth, and thus her eyes match her gray-scale coloration well; especially when considering they've since "frosted over." Her hair is kept very short, and is more often than not a curly mess (very easy to maintain). Ms. Aimee is very sensitive to sound, and having grown up in the country-side: city living is hard for her to get used to. The constant bustle and buzz has lead to a variety of minor health issues (mostly headaches and occasional insomnia), but this hasn't stopped her from her passions (to be revealed later).

What is Maroo's reason for moving to the city, you might ask? Simple: Due to the recent complications with the job market and economy, the cost of living has gone way up. This has made it increasingly hard for her parents to support her, so (in an attempt to act like she can care for herself) she moved to Matriarch City to work at her aunt's restaurant. Right now, however, she's doing poorly. The only job available was an evening cleaning gig, and Ms. Aimee works alone none the less.

During her time at home, she learned many skills despite her blindness! Maroo can wash dishes, sweep, mop, and clean in general. Gardening is one of her part-time hobbies, but living in the city has left her to indoor-gardening (which is greatly unsuccessful and expensive). She cannot read braille, and never felt inclined to do so, because her home-town lacked braille on their signs and labels. Instead, she learned to "read" indented and embossed patterns (normal letters). Although this prevents her from enjoying books, it doesn't stop her from enjoying some forms of art (ie sculptures, oil and acrylic paintings, reliefs, etc.)


Maroo Aimee was born blind in a small town by the name of Ay Myrah. Unfortunately, the economic downfall spared no one. This eventually lead to Maroo's decision to move out on her own.

As a child, she was often bullied for not being able to see. Classmates would often trip her, move her things around, and sometimes even ditch her in large, open spaces (gym class and recess being some of the worst parts of her school days). Her teachers often forgot she couldn't see, and throughout her years as a student, she was asked to read out loud, or do private reading as homework.

Since moving to the big city, she's been treated well by most people when entering establishments (with the exception of her landlord).
