Taiko is 12 years old, he's Lilah's half-brother he's 10 months younger than her and has a different father, while Lilah is half collie Taiko is a pure Leopard. Ever since Hawkette took them away he and Lilah grew much closer, with their mother and his father gone they look out for and care for each other through anything. The care Taiko and Lilah developed for each other after losing their family has grown to more than just siblings. Before they were as close as any brother and sister, Taiko's father didn't care that Lilah wasn't his biologically, and raised her as if she was. But now they're alone together they've grown stronger attachments to each other, to the point that they dont think of each other as siblings anymore, they feel more strongly about one another than that.
