Blythe H. for Naikitin Skyleaf
Naikitin is the third born child of Vipin Skyleaf and Kellena Castorflame. He is the middle child and thus strives to set himself apart from his older siblings while still setting an example for his younger siblings. He idolizes his father and the various survivalist tendencies his father has with living off the land, hunting animals and using the meat and skins so nothing goes to waste. He also idolizes wood elf culture since he is aware of his mixed parentage. He is aware that he and some of his siblings look more like wood elves than swamp elves and he wants to keep that part of his heritage in the present.
Naikitin is easygoing and nonchalant like his father. He is very terse and is eager to learn and better his surviving skills. He is brave and oftentimes this crosses over into foolhardy and reckless. Despite having an austere persona and leadership and decision making coming easy to him, he often defers to Iva and the other Grimleaf children, seeing them as the royalty of the purified forest and the other inhabitants as commoners.
He is 6 years old. His mom calls him "Nai" and Iva calls him "Kit".

So mom told you?
(Line 2) (comforting Iva)
We’re safe, Iva.
(Line 3) [describing the monster he saw]
It was scaled like an adder. But it had arms and big teeth and nails.
