Kote has been to them all and enjoyed every moment, she's an explorer, a wanderer, somepony who enjoys going out there and seeing what the world has to offer and her mark shows that vibrantly - even if it might be hard for others to see.

 

History:
Daisy Globetrotter was a pony diplomat and explorer 'extrodi-mare', going from place to place and taking in the cultures of the Equestrian world! When she journeyed to Unyasi, she came face to face with Warrior-Chief Moya of the Matunda, or 'Fruit' Tribe and after several months in the company of the Chief and his tribe, the earth pony found herself rather smitten to say the very least. With him and his family.

A few more months, a few truths told, some time spent together and an engagement later and miss Globetrotter found herself married to Moya by the turn of the summer solstice the very next year. By the second, they were both blessed with a child, a young 'zony' whom Moya - in honor of his wife, named 'Kotemati'. Or Koti, for short.

Koti was a VERY adventurous young foal, from her first step, to her first whinny, every movement the filly had was full of energy. Where her father walked, she would follow, what her mother would seek, she would seek too. Everything was an adventure...sometimes too much. One day, during a particularly heavy heat wave, the tribe took a moment to rest in their homes and relax...Koti had other plans however and took on her own adventure. When Daisy and Moya awoke, they were terrified at the disappearance of their young daughter.

For days they searched. None of the tribe could sleep, especially not their leader and his wife as they sought everywhere for their youngest member. About three days later, the filly reappeared out of the brush of the jungle overlooking their golden plains. Though thoroughly chastised for going alone, both parents were amazed at their child's survivalist methods as she regailed them both and the tribe about her journey. So excited to tell them all, she barely even realized that underneath all the crud and muck she'd managed to build upon herself during her journey...she'd earnt her cutie mark.

Years passed, Kotemati grew into a beautiful, strong and dependable zony for the tribe. She made both her parents very proud, but one day her mother noticed her daughter looked...almost rather whimsical as she stared out over the golden plains of Unyasi. It was a look she knew all too well, the wanderlust, the yearn to explore, it'd been in her own heart many years back and she knew what she had to do for her child. After consulting Moya, both zebra and pony agree'd that their child should go and explore Equestria, see the world and enjoy what it had to offer...but only if she promised to keep in touch.

The young mare was delighted. The tribe threw a party for the youngster on the evening and the very next day, she left for her explorations, saddlebag in hoof, her mother's savings and explorer kit and a heart seeking adventure! And to that day, Koti rambles from place to place in Equestria...seeking thrills, seeking new culture and never forgetting the pride of her family back home in her heartland of Unyasi.

Character Summary:
Kotemati is almost like the embodiment of adventure with how free spirited and thrill seeking she is! She enjoys seeing new sights and spectacles, no matter how dangerous and life threatening it may be, but she also enjoys seeing the smallest, most 'insignificant' parts of Equestria outside of Unyasi as well. She has a huge appreciation for life, from its tallest tree, to its smallest ant, even to the darkest bits of history that've plagued Equestria.

Despite her positive outlook however, she's not a push over and can be very overbearing when it comes to seeing new things. Often trying to push people into new experiences, like rollercoasters, or mountain climbing, or monster wrestling or something like that. She doesn't do it out of anything malicious, she just does it because she's overexcited and an extrovert at heart...which can obviously lead to her more negative emotions. She has an angry side, but it only shows when she's being protective - having grown up in a family environment with a father who is leader of a tribe, she's learnt that protecting your family and protecting your home is very important. This means she can get very protective to a point where she can get very into somepony's face about it, again, it's not that she's mean spirited, she's just trying to be - what she thinks - is right for the situation.

When she isn't overly cheerful, or fiercely protective, Koti is a hardcore survivalist. Knowing what plants you can and can't eat, what animals sleep where and what stars to follow when you're lost. Everything she's learned from her parents. Needless to say, she's a pony you'd want as a Scout leader or as a leader in general if you're lost in the wilds.
