History and Relationships
Zuniqa lost her parents at the age of 1 year old when she was then adopted by a distant relative. Her adopted family was very poor a Zuniqa could not be sent to school and so only learnt a few "street smarts". She stayed with her adopted mother until the age of 8 when she decided to try to find out information about her real parents.

Shortly after leaving her home she met Nikola Eyrie Redwan Echidna who had run away from her home island. She soon became her best friend. Zuniqa continued to travel with Nikola until she met Taya Teefolx who offered her a place to stay in her home in the small secluded town in which she lived known as Ildton. Nikola then decided too return to her home island for a while to see her family while Zuniqa took a break from searching for her family. After a year living with the Teefolx family Zuniqa decided that there wasn't really any need to continue trying to find out about her family history and that instead she would explore the world with Nikola and Taya.

After traveling, sometimes with Taya and Nikola, for about 18 months she returned to Ildton at the age of 15 to find a new family had taken up residence there. A family of cats that happened to be quite well off.

Zuniqa decided to greet the newcomers to the town and met Christopher the Cat, a 14 year old cat who it seemed, had been quite sheltered from the bad side of the world.

At first Zuniqa joked and made fun of him and how "Posh and Fancy" his home was but eventually she became quite close friends. Zuniqa and Chris continued becoming closer and closer as friends for about a year until they decided to start dating.
