This is a request for  AlexMichanikos who asked me a Red panda Mechanic! So here it is!

I'll make the short version of her story! So i'll skip a lot of things! XP

So this is Meeka Naykal a yooung mechanical genius, Born in the Red panda village of Chi Lee, known the be one of the harshest village in tradition and education. Raised in one of the most known family in the village, her parents treated her harshly, everything needed to be perfect, yet she wasn't... Her passion for mechanical creation and innovation cost her to be severely punished and not being able to do it ever again, because it was against the ancestral traditions.

The poor Meeka being whiped several times for desobeying, she fled to live her own life.... Sadly the Red Pandas caught her before she even leave the village, trying to flee and fighting against her own brothers and sisters... Her family decided to give her the most painful and the most dishonoring punishment: Getting one antennas removed. When they cut one of her antennas, she scream so loudly and painfully that it could make you shiver down your spine (the pain is equivalent has being cut off of one you limbs in the most slowest and painful ways). Her left eye started to cry endlessly, the mark of having one of the antennas cut-off. The pain stood for nearly 2 months, She wasn't able to sleep and when she was she was screaming of pain.

One night, she decided to flee once more, flee from this living hell, this insane family and its dumb traditions, everything was against her, Meeka had nothing to loose. The panda was ready to do everything she could to find the Pandas village where she could find a refuge. Meeka packed up her equipment and goods and left. At the exit of the village her father was waiting for her katana in hand. She stood in front of him, took a deep breath, closed then start to run for the forest. She avoided the powerful strike of her father, She manage to escape, but something was wrong, she did took a hit her face was bleeding, she couldn't see anything, she put her hand on her face, her deep wound was going through her left eye, meaning it was gone for good. She shriek of horror and suffering. Meeka ran straight ahead her, without being to distinguish anything ahead. The red panda ran for days and lost herself in the forest of Pandanteria, at this rate she wouldn't be able to survive a single day, she had lost too much blood, then fainted.

A handicaped panda lady named Andie Khap who's paralized from toes to waist, found and saved her from a immenant doom. Andie managed to brought her back to the village of Kong Fi Xee, where she was living. Since the Handicaped panda was a nurse, she took care of the lost red panda. Meeka was surprised to be saved by a disable person, though she was disable just like her because she only had one eye left. Since then Meeka consider her savior like a sister of blood, Because those 2 have were alike, both suggested from laughter when they were, little and they grew up standing against the whole world.

Nowaday She's living with Andie, she has her own workshop next to it. This red one is the one of the inventors and mechanic of Pandanteria, she's started to make her "adopted" sister Andie life much easier with a wheelchair full of gadgets. Then She built the informatic system of Geekza. built and Design yoghurt refill system nad yoghurt transport bag for Danette. She built and perfected the whole flying system for Ellie Ihum and perfect it each time the Panda stewart go sees her (Ellie is one of Meeka's best friends, so they get along quite well). She built all kind of crazy weapons and silly objects to use in daily life (ex: sugar grabber, the auto-bamboo cutter, etc...). Her passion has no limit, nothing is impossible for this panda! She can fix what's broken, and find a solution to any kind of material problems! That's what I call a inventor with kind heart!

Meeka is one of the rare Red pandas living in harmony with the pandas, She had rough time to adapt herself in the panda live since it was totally different from where she grew up, Plus the pandas took time to accept her as one of theirs (of course Andie was always there to defend Meeka) Because she was a Red one and because her missing antenna, it was scarying and still scary pandas, because a regular panda is not supposed to have one thier antenna missing. At the end they are consider the red one as one theirs when she told what she went through to arrive where she is here now... The pandanterns call this legendary panda "The one eyed mechanic" in reference of her lost eye.

Now about her speciality... She is into the Wok food speciality, anything that can goes to a wok, she can do it! Plus adding a special ingredient she can transform into in mechanical weapons she touches for a around 1 to 2 mins, if she goes further than that precise time, she start to scream of pain and suffering, since her wound of the missing antenna never really healed (and it won't ever fully heal). She can shape herself in any weapon from of her size (bo, sticks, swords, katana, niganata, Bamboo rifle, wrench, Canon, etc...) so it gives her a deadly power that she only use for defence or resarch purpose, she is not violent and avoid fighting at all cost. Since Meeka is still a Red panda messing with her often leads to bloodshed, plus she comes from the most violent Red panda Village. You can feel it when the panda is fighting. Meeka always warn the thieves and her enemies: " I may consider myself as pandantern now, but I'm still a Red one, If you want see the end of the day, I advice you not to make me as your enemy..."

Sorry for the long text! But that panda is sure important in the pandantern story! :3

Anyway I hope you all love it!
