Appearance: Hedgehog: Being a relatively small common hedgehog, Emi Ko is 6 inches long. She has a pale tan snout and under-fur, which when touches, resembles the soft hair of humans. Her quills are black at the bottom, then in patterned stripes change from blonde, then to a dark brown, to black again. They can be in different combinations. The tip of her snout is a deep brown, and her eyes are a deep umber with golden specks. When Emi Ko is curled up in a ball, she is 4 inches, and she makes a high pitch growl to warn enemies, even though she is defenseless against larger animals.
Human: Emi Ko stands out as a Kelvic as her hair is very noticeable. It stands in thick strands, that are unevenly cut, as when Emi Ko cuts her hair, she doesn't look at herself. Emi stands out because just as her quills, Emi Ko’s hair is a deep brown-black on the inside, but a blonde outside layer. She always parts her hair to the side, and never changes it. Emi Ko could hair less about her hair, but she also feels like is signifies as who she is, she can’t change it. Emi stands at a short 5’6” and weighs a skinny 115 pounds. When wearing tight clothing, a hit trace of her ribs can be shown, and her hips are very noticeable. Emi is decently curvy, despite her weight, and her thighs, buttock, and chest are all built upwards. Her eye color is a deep brown, and when she is upset or angered, her eyes can turn almost the same color as her pupils. She has golden specks throughout them, and long curving eyelashes, that Emi Ko doesn’t use for beauty, but to keep the dirt out of her eyes when she is in the forest. Emi’s fingernails usually have dirt under them. Her nose is small and points gently upwards, combined with her small lips and large eyelashes, Emi Ko is usually mistaken to be younger then she is. She prefers wearing loose clothing, and she is very self-conscious on how others feel.
Character Concept Emi Ko is very shy. In human form, she feels unprotected by the lack of quills on her back. Her cheeks tend to be always a rosy pink, and she tends to say what she wants. Leading her into trouble sometimes with her bluntness. She prefers the woodland areas over the city lights. She finds others to be dominate over herself, and tends to get attached over-easily. When she becomes attached to you, she will never stop being amazed by the things she sees. Even if its something she has seem before, she becomes equally amazed, perhaps it is being with the person. Emi Ko doesn’t really like romance, but growing up in the woods, she doesn’t know what it is.
Emi Ko has no objection to killing. Its nature of life, life will go on for her or for the other. Emi Ko has been taught by her parents that being nude is wrong, so when she turns into her Kelvic-self, she tends to go deep into the forest where no one will see. She prefers to wear simple clothing, because she has ruined multiple pairs, caked in mud. Emi Ko doesn’t like her human-self, she feels lanky and prefers to spend her time as a hedgehog. Mostly because of past history of not being allowed to change.
Emi Ko has a strange obsession with discovering and trying new things. She edges deeper and deeper in the woodland area, wanting to see what is farther out there. She loves her weapon, keeping it with her while she sleeps. She doesn’t dislike anything, but tends to shy away from things instead.
Character History “Stay here. Don’t ever change into that petching form again. You should be LUCKY that me and your father took you in. We took you in even though you were a petching Kelvic.”
The hard face of my new mother spat to the ground. Tight clothing laid on me, the restraint causing me not to be able to turn into my hedgehog. I almost died, as I saw a wondrous mushroom in a garden, after not eating for awhile, you tend to just go for it, just as a rounded sword swoop down, missing me by an inch. I changed quickly to show I was a dirt -covered human. I don’t know what made them more infuriated. I was a naked 7 year-looking old human, or that I was a Kelvic. I was a small two year old hedgehog.
The outskirts of Zeltiva was my home. I never turned into my animal form... it was banished. I would go into the silent forests in the daytime, stripping down and feeling free, staying in my form all day. I was always scolded as I came home nude after not being able to find my clothing, but something led me to keep doing it.
The screams of the people who took me in at night made sleeping a hassle. ‘Father’ was always drunk. ‘Father’ would get angry for no reason, so ‘mother’ would always fight back.... To be honest I don’t remember their names. When I looked 13, my life continuing as it always did. Harvest herbs in the garden, play in the forest, try to sleep though the fighting. That was when one night I heard a large bang. I knew not to get up, but all I heard was Father sobbing, but no response from Mother. What did Father do now?! My only thought was running through my head as I tiptoed out of bed.
Father didn’t see me.... all he was focused on was the blood on his hands. Mother laid limp on the ground, her head oozing the red stain of blood. I gasped and stood back. Our floors were wooden, and at the worst time ever, it creaked. I ran into the small hall, hearing uneven footsteps behind me.
“Emi! Come now!” The angered yell behind me made me whimper. I knew what pain felt like, and I didn’t want to feel it again. I ran quickly into their bedroom where I knew they kept the sword. Tears of horror ran down my face as the pace fasten. Quickly running into his room, I tore the sword off of the mantle.
Standing there, my small limbs shaking. What was I doing? The footsteps became visable as a redden face met mine. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING EMI?! COME TO DADDY.” He yelled out loudly, as the quaint house shook. His ever-too-wide grin smiled at me, as I knew he didn’t want to give me a hug.
“S... S... stand back!” I shuddered out. He took a step forward anyway. I braced the sword in front of me, holding it in one hand. It felt better. The sword was cold and heavy, and quite large for me size.... but I stood their half-knowing what I was about to do.
“Don’t be scared of Daddy. Its just you and me now.” He stumbled but quickly grabbed my left arm, my sword in the other clenched tightly. Closing my eyes, I felt the warm drip of tears flowing from my eyes. “P... Please get off!” I slashed the sword as hard as I could, causing a sharp pain, as I felt a warm liquid splash onto my side. No sound emerged from Father. My sobbing became louder, as I ran out the door with my eyes still closed. Grabbing their remaining Miza’s I ran out of the house, into the forest.
Looking down at my shirt, their was blood splattered. I ran as fast as I could, running and running. Living in the forest for a year until 511 A.V., I found my way to Syliras, where I currently reside in a small Inn. I became a recluse among people. I don’t remember what happen before I came in their custody, everything is still a bit blurry. LanguageFluent Language: Common & Hedgehog
