Design NotesΒ 
Fluffy and soft bab. As all tsushima leopards go, Moka's patterning is a combination of stripes on his upper arms/legs and head/torso/waist/tail, but spots on his lower arms/legs. He has large and fluffy ears that are dark around the edges, with light spots behind each ear (one of the distinguishing features of his species). He can be drawn either as biologically female or male.
  • He has little fangs that are mandatory to draw!
  • Two whiskers on either side of his face are also mandatory.
  • Can be drawn either planti- or digitigrade. Can also be drawn with either hands or paws!
  • Fur color "blends" between patterns like a gradient, so light -> darker from normal fur to stripes/spots. It's a smooth color change like something in nature, and not immediately from one color to the next.
  • For fashion, he wears almost exclusively cargo pants, graphic T-shirts, and patterned arm warmers/long socks. He hates shoes and refuses to wear them. Graphic / character jackets are also a mainstay, and he wears glasses at night. E V E R Y T H I N G M U S T M A T C H ! Β‘ ! ! Β‘

Personality

Moka's traits are a combination of instinct, learned behavior, and something science cannot explain. He's usually pretty upbeat, but with bipolar disorder, that can (and does) change at any time. He can control his emotions and "mood swings" well enough, but as he doesn't want to hurt anyone close to him, prefers to stay closed off to the world. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, plus an eating disorder add up to one complicated existence.

Despite everything, Moka enjoys making new friends over the internet, and keeps a few very select people close to him. Physical contact is a huge no-no, unless he knows you very well, in which case he is a giant cuddle bug. If he's being forced by someone to go somewhere, he'll either complain the whole time or timidly let the other person lead the way. He tries to be tactful around new people, but to him, his comfort always comes first. He's been taken advantage of too many times to simply trust a new person.

Moka has a ton of hobbies to keep himself busy; reading novels/ manga/comic books, drawing, writing stories, listening to and playing music (tenor/soprano saxophone and bass guitar), watching TV shows/cartoons/anime/movies, playing video games, and making dolls.Β 

He can get extremely excitable and chatty depending on the conversational topic. Moka's not very secretive, but he doesn't like to discuss his "tragic backstory" (as he calls it) as he feels it'll ruin the aura of mystery he's spent so long cultivating... he has a lot of opinions and loves to share them, even if you don't want to listen. Moka has an opinion about pretty much any topic and is always ready with an anecdote or story to tie everything together.

Moka's not really "out" to many people yet, mostly due to a combo of fear and confusion. He knows that he's a boy, and he has since he was a child, but the process of reaching that conclusion was lengthy and exhausting. He's out to his parents, but... not by his own choice, and they've not yet discussed it. Moka did explore his gender identity with some encouragement from his girlfriend Vance, and though her own thoughts on the matter are muddled, she's been very supportive of him through this journey.

BackstoryΒ 

Moka grew up in the Midwest down Tornado Alley, which has been a real metaphor for his life. Due to family health concerns, job prospects, and societal change, Moka's moved around a lot in his life and as such doesn't really mind going to new places. Being a shy little kid, Moka rarely was able to make friends: but when he did, they were strong friendships.Β 

When he was a teenager his life was changed by actions caused by his mother, straining their relationship. They moved once more to a place Moka hated, leaving behind his prospects, friends, and life in the city for a smaller city. He still tried his best in school, but his heart wasn't in it anymore. He had various jobs until leaving for college, where he was happy, but then was ejected due to circumstances beyond his control. After that he was unemployed for a time before getting a job.

Working for several years left Moka in a comfortable spot to stake out on his own, away from the Midwest and his strained family relationships, and to the comfort of the Pacific ocean. He's adored being by the water ever since. After setting himself up comfortably enough, he began to make frequent trips to the beach, even ordering food there. That's when he met Vance and his life changed once again.
