Kokou

Kokou is a powerful shape-shifter from southern Africa who can become a leopard, of the Sinaa people. He’s wise for his youth, and has inherited the task of watching over those who live off the land south of the equator. He’s sometimes considered war-like because of his readiness to fight and his strong (and easily offended) sense of honor, but he’s a worthy ally. Unfortunately, earning his trust can be difficult due to his strict code of honor and dishonor. Kokou has worked hard to keep his people from being classified in the Great Wheel, and so far, he’s managed. That means the others considered him among The Lost.
