Commentary
She may be my first Kinetics defender. I had avoided it for years because of early experiences being buffed while playing on a slow computer. Especially if you are in a cave or somewhere else with narrow twisty halls, the combination of lag and Speed Boost made it hard to move right. I knew Kinetics was powerful and popular, but my psyche had been burned early on.
After six years of play, it was time to get past my unfounded dislike and make a "Kin". I also knew her name and that she would be an archer with a dog's head. The geekness here was this dog-woman would be called "Bow Wow", but the first word was pronounced as in an archery bow. I realized later that some might conclude this was an insult to women (especially if they mispronounce "bow"). But really, it was nothing more than me trying to be clever.
