Name of the Mutato: Koi
Reason for Choosing the Name: Koi are a type of beautifully colored fish. They remind me of Asia, Japan in particular. When I looked at this Mutato's beautiful design, I couldn't help but be reminded of the koi fish.
Answer (and Explain) This Riddle (I Made it up, There are no Right Answers): What is as free as the wind, yet as caged as a bird? Humans. While we have the freedom to do whatever we want, there may be consequences to doing what we want.
You need money in a bad way, but don't want to work for it, so you go and rob a bank. The consequence to that action is usually being arrested by the police and possibly thrown in jail.
But let's look at a different example. Let's say you'd like to ride your bike to school, so you do so. Only, there are no bike lanes where you live, so you either have to ride in the street or on the sidewalk. Both of these actions may have repercussions. If you choose to ride in the street, you may be hit by a car. If you choose to ride on the sidewalk, you may injure a pedestrian. If you're careful, you won't hurt anyone or get hurt yourself, but your actions may still have repercussions further down the road.
Those both have negative outcomes - let's look at some positive ones.
You have a job at a company, and are trying to get a raise. You get the raise, and move up in position, eventually being offered second in command. You would take that job in a heartbeat, if not for another job opportunity that just became present to you. Job #1 - you'll be second in command, with all the benefits that that particular job includes (three months paid vacation out of the entire year, authority to order others around, etc.). Job #2 - You won't be second in command, but you'll certainly be close. You'll get all the benefits associated with the job (two weeks paid vacation out of the entire year, money for your kids'/spouses' schooling (college, trade school, etc.), etc.). They're nearly identical, and both offer what you're looking for in a job. Both bosses are nice, and you'd get along well with either of them. In this situation, you'd have to pick between two good options - but you still have to choose.
While we, as humans, have the freedom to do whatever we want, oftentimes doing what we want ends up in our ruin, or to our disadvantage. While most of the time we're happy, choosing correctly for our current lifestyles, at some point in every person's life that person will come upon a decision similar to the ones I listed above. That person will have to choose. And what that person chooses then affects his or her life forever.
