Koa is fit, make no mistake. From the body that could have been cut from marble to the shock of thick, lush black hair, the young soldier is a fine specimen of peak physical form, all of which is softened by a quick, vibrant smile and sparkling copper eyes.

There is little that Koa isn't down for, and few things he won't try. Whether it's planning a party or pulling a prank, the young man is along for any ride - and often, conducting the train. Not to say he takes nothing seriously: on the contrary, no one is more devoted to training and duty than Koa Carpenter. He is a character without capability of moderation, a fellow who spreads his time and attention freely... while keeping little for himself.

Not yet a man when the war broke out, Koa watched as Stormbreak was torn apart and thrown into the air. He watched, too, as the Dragoons mustered to defend their home - including his mother Mahina, a fine warrior and captain, who always wished her lackadaisical son would follow in her shoes.
And though he thought he'd have more time before becoming a soldier, when his mother's sword and stories of her heroism were all that came back from the war Koa knew he had to make a choice. With his father ailing and the world in shambles he enlisted in the Dragoons, desperate live up to his mother's legacy, and to find some purpose in a world unmoored.
Koa now lives in Stormbreak with his father, Kimo, and his younger sister, Noe.

Pipsqueak the Fuzzy Pool Noddle is an a delightfully odd creature. With a combination of scales and fur, she looks like what might happen if a snake and a ferret had a baby. But with bat wings. And horns. And the color of something that's rolled around in an oil slick. Which she probably has.
Currently Pipsqueak is about 3 feet long from snout to tailtip, and weighs about 10 pounds.
