Actions & Characteristics[]
- She is the complete opposite of the Ultimate Evil of the series, Dr Emilia, as while Emilia is an manipulative supremacist driven by xenophobia and egotism to wipe out the Mutes, believing them to be monsters who should not be together with them and never realizes the errors of her ways, dying in the end instead of redeeming herself. Kipo Oak is a completely selfless and sympathetic individual who has no grudge against the Mutes, and sees them as her own race and has endless love for all of them and manages to turn them into her most closest allies and even fixes the conflict between them and her humans race.
- She is the most admirable hero in the series, as she helps make deep emotional connections with her closest friends, redeems Scarlemangne and helps defeat Dr Emilia and her plans of wiping out the Mute race and ending the conflict between the two factions to put them all in an era of peace.
- Being the main protagonist, she is the driving force for the events of the series, as she seeks out and brings out the good in all those around her and even her enemies, such as Scarlemagne, turning them into her closest allies and as well as sympathizing with her tragedies and hardships.
