Kipo is a 12 (later 13)-year-old female human with mauve skin Kipo is friendly, optimistic, confident, and (in true Aries fashion) pioneering. Contrary to most humans and mutes, Kipo believes the two can co-exist and acts accordingly--much to everyone's surprise Her plucky idealism stands out among the hardened cynicism on the surface and usually reveals her as a "burrow girl."  In addition to her unusual perspective, Kipo is clearly intelligent, as she is capable of thinking quickly in high-stress situations as well as solving complex mathematical equations uninterrupted for hours. She shares her father's love of astronomy and was dumbfounded when, after years living underground, she finally saw the night sky.
