[u][b]  [color=06d283]S[/color]pecies[/b][/u]

[indent]Treejumpers are a human/squirrel hybrid, they have ears on top of their head, but a human-like face. The colour of their fur can have any shade from red to orange or brown. The fur covers most of their body, only their hands, feet, face, and chest up to the bellybutton are covered in pinkish or brownish skin. 
They usually don't wear clothes, only when it's too cold will they cover their exposed skin with clothes woven from plant fibers. Most Treejumpers paint lines or symbols on their skin as a fashion statement. 
They are a small, but agile species, known to climb in trees and able to jump great lengths. Their fluffy tails are used as balance and to keep themselves or their young warm. They live in wooden cities they build in the trees. 
The males tend to be stronger and more muscular around their shoulders and upper torso, whereas females have a higher agility and speed and have stronger legs.
The females give birth and nurse their offspring until the first year of their life, then the males take over the care and educate them. 
When the females aren’t taking care of their offspring, they are the ones to scout the territory and gather food. The males stay in their cities, to guard their home and the children against intruders, and to build and repair the buildings and the furniture they use.

[indent]Sonomi has a dark-orange fur and a light pinkish-shade skin. Her fluffy tail is almost as tall as her body and has a white tip; the tip of her ears is also white. With a paste made from red berries and resin she colours her lips and paints small stars on her belly. [/indent]

[indent] Sonomi is a playful and curious Treejumper. Like most female Treejumpers she goes out in the grove to gather food. Her curiosity often leads her on explorations, sometimes finding new places with food, sometimes running into predators. She wants to explore the grove, get to know every tree and every bush. And, although she doesn’t say it out loud, explore that what lies beyond the grove.[/indent]

[u][b]  [color=06d283]B[/color]io  [/b][/u]

[indent]Sonomi has given birth three times and she is proud of her two sons and daughter. Like all Treejumper families, it’s her partner Jumeyo who takes care of their children while she is in the grove. 
Even though she loves the forest, with all the trees she can climb and the freedom she experiences that moment in the air when she jumps between them, she wants to see what else is there. 
As a child she used to sit with her grandfather, who told her forbidden stories of a time before the grove, and how the first Treejumpers lived in nests they had built in the branches of the trees, barely able to shelter themselves from rain and wind. He told her what he knew about ‘civilisation’, before the grove had destroyed it. She always loved the stories, but surely they were just that. Just simple fairytales about stone cities and furless beings, who destroyed the world around them to expand. Such places could never have existed, the grove was eternal; it always there and would be always there. It was hard for the young Treejumper to image a place that wasn’t the grove, but it had sparked her curiosity to find such a place.
Years later the word of the abduction reached her; the daughter of the great fairy held captive by an evil force. At first she decided she wouldn’t go on this quest, leaving the comfort of the trees of the eternal grove scared her. But her curiosity to learn what was out there overtook her fear and she promised the great fairy to find her daughter for her and bring her back when the first group didn’t succeed.[/indent]

[indent]The magic of Treejumpers is taken from the living plants around them, and used for them. They can heal plants or increase the speed of their growth; the strongest can even move the plants and use them how they want: using vines as whips, letting branches weave together to form a wall, using ivy to entangle predators or enemies... 
Sonomi isn’t the strongest and is far from making walls from living plants, but she has learned to make ivy curl around someone’s leg.[/indent]
