Chapter 2 – Meet Sweet
Intro and Backstory: Meet Schweetheart (Sweet) Summers—an orangutan, seven years old.
He used to be an orphan, but not on purpose. His parents had died from getting attacked by the ruthless Apes of the jungle. They look to overtake the Amazon for themselves and will face up to anyone who goes against their purpose. Unfortunately, his parents wanted to rebel against them, even though they were much weaker than the Apes were. They wanted Sweet to stay in their treetop home because he was too young. He listened to them all the time, but this time... they didn't come back.
He was sad and lonely for months, until two birds—Early (a male robin) and Strut (a female rooster)—heard him crying and took him in with them. They were a humanimal couple seeking to take care of a child in need. They had no luck until they found Sweet. Since he was five, Early and Strut raised and fed him. Sweet was happy to have them.
Personality and Appearance: Sweet's character is helpful, kind, strong and smart, as his foster parents taught him to be.
Before his real parents died, his father made him some clothes because, obviously, it wouldn't make sense to swing around naked. He had a few one-strapped tops made out of spotted leopard fur to match bush-like bottoms made and bounded together by long leaves. Now at age seven, he was able to make his outfits on his own now.
Sweet loves to have his tan-colored hair stand up (almost like Broly from Dragonball Z). To him it reveals his cool and/or wild side to others. His friends at school approve of it.
His eyes are brown, but the strange thing about them is that they shine and glimmer in the moonlight for some reason. Not a werewolf effect.
Nevertheless, life for Sweet is... well, sweet. But his life as he knows it will soon change.
