Neeko is a petite, vibrant Vastaya with warm tan skin, bright amber eyes, and long teal hair streaked with colorful feathers. Her chameleon-like tail, and tropical attire give her a playful, jungle-inspired appearance. Hailing from a long lost tribe of vastaya, Neeko Neeko can blend into any crowd by borrowing the appearances of others, even absorbing something of their emotional state to tell friend from foe in an instant. No one is ever sure where—or who—Neeko might be, but those who intend to do her harm will soon witness her true colors revealed, and feel the full power of her primordial spirit magic unleashed upon them. Neeko is a vastaya born in the Oovi-Kat tribe, who lived on a remote island far to the east of Valoran. The Oovi-Kat lived in a peaceful and harmonious paradise that blended into the spirit realm. Because of this, the Oovi-Kat had a talent in sensing the Sho'ma, or 'soul' of living beings, creating a society free of secrets. Neeko grew up in this tribe with a fondness for games and trinkets, growing a sense of innocence and curiosity for all things. When an undisclosed cataclysm devastated the Oovi-Kat, the elders of the tribe sacrificed themselves to allow some of the remaining vastaya to escape with their lives. Neeko, being among them, took the form of a bird and fled the smoldering destruction as her home faded into the border between realms. Days later, Neeko became exhausted and clung to a plank of driftwood in the Eternal Ocean. She eventually came across a mercantile vessel travelling for Harelport and crept aboard, resting where she could and calling into the spirit realm for her tribe. The only response she could get were scattered echoes and images of dead trees laying over the horizon. When the vessel arrived in the city, Neeko emerged in an unfamiliar world bustling with unique personalities and shapes that were completely alien to her. Neeko became entranced with curiosity and wandered with awe, eventually being spotted by a vastayan sailor named Krete. He demanded to know what tribe she was a member of and, in response, Neeko reached into his Sho'ma and mimicked his appearance; an expression of friendliness and peace in Oovi-Kat culture. Krete became offended and frightened by Neeko's shapeshifting and, overwhelmed by his thoughts, Neeko fled into the crowd. Now saddened by the loss of her family and overwhelmed by her new surroundings she now flees into an ally way.
