Curious, introspective.

Locations: Kiddie Playground, Kiddie Longhouse, Forest Path III.

Character: Anoki is a quiet, introspective boy who has an exploratory bent. He enjoys finding new things, playing on the warped trees at the Kiddie Playground and collecting and whittling sticks. He is not naturally outgoing, but if approached is quite friendly, and, if asked about the right subjects, even talkative. Generally, however, he tends to remain on the periphery of social gatherings and is uncomfortable being in the spotlight. The macabre events of the last two months have provoked a rather contemplative streak in the little boy.

Description: Anoki is a diminutive, scrawny young boy of perhaps nine years. His wiry, dark skinned little body is clad in a plain white loincloth, and he carries a wooden staff that is sharpened to a point on one end. An upturned nose and a strong chin accent his otherwise childish features. Close cropped, curly brown hair sprouts from Anoki's round head, and his large brown eyes appraise you pensively.

"Why do you think Rametep and Tepititan fight so much?"
"I've looked through all the different kinds of sticks. Some are good for poking crabs, some are good for tipping over rocks, some are good for smacking ants..."
"I want to go explore the whole island of Tep! I've been just about everywhere, but Alaqua won't let me go to the marsh or on the coral reef or too close to the waterfall."
"Most of my friends have gone to Tepititan. I wonder what they're doing now?"
"If you stay in the hot spring too long you get all wrinkly like Sheroesha!"
