Boona
Overview
Boona is a Chimera bassist and member of BLISS!, currently residing with the Kasirga Clan. He has a punk chimpanzee appearance and erratic behavior patterns.
Appearance and Nature
Boona appears as a punk chimpanzee, though Fen notes this look reflects the combined memories of those around him rather than necessarily his true form. Like all Chimerae, Boona is extremely variable in nature. He has a habit of picking lice off himself in public and chewing on roots that others find unappetizing. He bares his fangs while playing bass.
Background
Few Chimerae are permitted to roam free in Asgartha, but many who do end up with the Lyra. Boona found work with a circus before joining BLISS!. Fen had initial misgivings about bringing another Chimera into the group (alongside Crowbar), but seeing Boona and Crowbar interact convinced her it was the right move. The two engage in playful jabbing and cursing.
Boona displays erratic moods, sometimes showing lack of motivation or going on eccentric flights of fancy. However, once the band starts playing, he always grabs his bass and joins in. The band adapts their set list to his erratic behavior.
