Description
Kiwi is an achingly beautiful young man, the perfect mix of adolescent freshness and sweetness, with the developing handsome features of a boy on the cusp of manhood. He may stay this way for quite some time thanks to the vagaries of Exaltation, he is technically already at his physical prime, although he has a few inches to grow in height, yet.
Kiwi's clothing is simple and sparse, for maximum movement and minimum cost. He wears a vest that can't really close all the way as it has no clasp and has grown small for Kiwi and a pair of shorts that are similarly becoming too small, they barely crest mid-thigh and Kiwi has had to cut the sides out a bit. He wears no shoes, preferring instead to simply wrap his feet in bandages or cloth strips. He does have decoration on himself, beads tied together with bits of leather on his wrists and ankles. He likes simple additions like that, the sorts of things you'd wear in a barbarian tribe.
Mentally, Kiwi is younger than he appears. He is very sharp and quick, perceptive and hard to surprise, but remembers none of the education from his life before exalting and indeed his time as a Kiwi brought him down closer to the animal's frame of mind. As such he asks many questions and hopes to one day be as smart as the other people around him. He has difficulty understanding complex or abstract ideas and it depresses him sometimes that he can't read, not even claw-speech. While normally irrepressibly cheerful and energetic, he has a tendency to withdraw a little when he feels "dumb".
History
Kiwi was born Treis Moonwater, the privileged and promising son of a Scavenger Lord. The lord was overthrown one day when his caravan, including his wife and son, was attacked by a dissenting group of Scavengers within his own lordship, including members of his guard. They attacked with a hail of arrows and Treis only survived thanks to his mother's selfless sacrifice as she threw herself atop him to block the feathered death from reaching her beloved son.
Gripped by rage, Treis hid in the wreckage of his parents carriage until the leader of the dissenting faction came to gloat over their corpses. He decapitated him with one swoop of his father's sword, using strength he didn't know he had. He fought and fought until he was disarmed, until a spear pierced his side and he began to bleed to death. He yanked the spear out and decided to fight until he could no longer move, that he could not let even one of these men live. Luna looked down at the young teen and graced him with her light, transforming him into one of the Lunar Exalted, rewarding his grit and determination with power, and possibly the oddest choice for a Spirit Totem ever made. A spotted Kiwi, chosen for being, most unlikely, the strongest from where it comes. In a place with no mammalian predators, omnivorous flightless birds dominated, the Kiwi among them.
Kiwi fought voraciously with the spear he had pulled from his now healed wound and fell each and every scavenger there. After the deed was done, he ran and ran until he could not run anymore and found himself in a Wyld Zone. Acting on instinct he transformed into his spirit shape to hide from the mutants there, and there he stayed until the Silver Pact sent a pack to find him and bring him to safety and be tattooed. With the Silver Pact he honed the skills he would need for his new life and more.
He found a new family and learned much in the wild, but lacked something important: purpose. Gifting him with the Dire Lance that came to be known as Beak, his pack bade him farewell as Kiwi left on a journey of self-discovery, unsure of where he was going and why, but knowing he had to go all the same.
