Meet Starburst! She's my first Khuma and a grumpy one at that! Below is some more information about her, I'm sharing it whether she likes it or not.
Hey! Watch it!
Name:
Starburst
Age:
Old enough, no better
Gender:
Female
Nest:
Tall forest nest
Nest Rank:
Nest boss
- When I first adopted Starburst I had to come up with a name and quick as Khumas go fast. As soon as I saw her I knew she was the one I wanted. The problem was I usually do lots of research into my names, yet then it came to me. I would name her Starburst, partly because of her firework like markings, but otherwise I had been eating sour Starbursts that day and they inspired me to name her after them. Now I fel the name fits her perfectly looking back on it and I'm happy with what I've gone with.
Starburst is a fan of climbing trees and sitting at a high perch, so the Tall forest nest was probably the best for her. I think being a nest boss would suit her the most because something tragic happened early in her life which has driven her into a shell of silent depression and a sharp tongue. I don't think she would be much use in caring for others which means Starburst has ended up being very lazy.
Personality:
Quiet and Grumpy
History:
Lost a mate
Likes:
Climbing and the sun
Dislikes:
Noise and other life forms
- As stated above, Starburst has grown to be a very grumpy and unsocial Khuma. It's notable that her tongue is worse than her bite. Other Khumas don't really like to talk to her for this reason which means she's sadly become very antisocial. Her voice is rarely heard and when it is, hardly any Khuma can recognize it. Khumas only hear her when she's grumbling over something she doesn't like. Yet, if Starburst was to speak in a regular kind tone it would shock many at how soft and quite her actual voice is.
Starburst once had a mate and she was very different back then. She dressed differently and acted like a much nicer and more active Khuma. It wouldn't last. They were a great pair, until he was taken away by human hands. She watched it happen with her own eyes and hasn't been able to trust humans since, yet somehow she opened up to me and I gained her trust. She's still the grumpy, quiet, over-protective Khuma I described above, but at least she knows she can trust me. I will never keep her as a pet, Khumas are wild animals, but I'm here for her if she needs our help. I don't see her much as she lives within her nest, but atleast I know she's living a good life.
Yay for rambling me late at night!
Starburst likes few things, but I can mention one or two bits she might like. Climbing is a big one which pairs with trees as she enjoys being up among the branches and being able to look down on the others. She also likes basking in the sun as it can be done alone and she gets some nice time to herself. On the other hand, Starburst hates noise and most other life forms, apart from prey.
Crush:
N/A
Family:
Not present
Friends:
The trees
Enemies:
The rest of the world
- Starburst currently does not have a crush and her family is not present in this area. Her only friend is the forest and her enemy is the world around her. Simple enough, right?
