Hi, my name's Bo, and I hate humans.
Too strong? I have to tone it down? Well I guess I used to hate them all except Ken. Nowadays, a few more people have slipped past my defences.

Hi, I'm Bo, and I was born and raised in the Hinnom Forest. You could say I'm not the biggest advocate for humans; losing my dad at an early age due to conflict between Tribe Osinan and the settlers from Earth might have had something to do with that.
(What? You said to tone it down, I'm just speaking the truth.)
Anyway, my big brothers took care of me when I was a kit, and after Ken came to live with the tribe things were pretty peaceful until the Riven family got involved. But you all know that story.
You, know, when I think about it, my childhood was pretty good, as good as an orphan's can be. It wasn't as . . . exciting as the times we live in now, but there were definitely more than a few highlights.
Hmm, where to start?
