Dialogue

“	An excellent businessperson and the only Grimalkin (currently) in Kilima. Zeki is savvy, smart, and clever. He runs the local general store, and even has a special device that can grant you rare items (with luck!).	”
–Almanac of Palia

Zeki is a Grimalkin resident of Kilima Village in Palia. He runs the town General Store and operates a Grimalkin Underground.

Appearance

Zeki is a stout Grimalkin with long, orange fur and white on his face, neck, and palms. He has a pair of deep brown whiskers on his muzzle, and the skin on his nose and inside his ears is pink. He has two sets of ears; the pair on top is long and slender, and the pair on the side is shorter and fatter. His eyes are colored green, but his right eye is covered with a loupe goggle. His typical outfit is a long coat with a teal/brown gradient and bronze trims — with a glowing pin pinned to the left — a green ascot tie, a white high-collared vest with golden accents, deep brown pants, and rust-colored pointed-toe shoes. He adorns many golden rings on his fingers, as well as an earring in his bottom left ear and a golden molar on his left side.
