Vamptober 2021: Day 24

Zerukova is a dhampir (half vampire does in fact count! c: ) and the older brother of Tiger Lilly, first child of Zikomo and Kichounaki! His forte is bonsai and other decorative plants, and he’s helped his mama take care of a 150+ years old bonsai that is Kichou’s plant baby since he was a wee one himself! Striped kirin aren’t unusual in ZenVerse Neighpon, but a zebra and his lil Zebrin kids with a kirin wife/mom turned more than a few heads for a while.

So this is my little zebrin bab all grown up and given his name, Zerukova. Dad Zikomo suggested Zelkova, after his first bonsai tree that he was given by the boy’s mama, Kichounaki. She spelled it out ‘Zerukova’, and it stuck. Though he’s just as often called ‘Zel’, ‘Zeru’, or ‘Kova’.
