Okimba is the good natured but odd son of Zecora, Fluttershy and Spitfire.
His life has always been a little confusing but he chose to embrace the chaos in more ways than one.
He was raised in an ever changing household. Zecora and Fluttershy are a poly couple so they have had multiple partners and lovers but remained an ever stable anchor to their son. The most constant face seen in the home is that of Captain Spitfire.
She and Zecora accidentally created Okimba after a night of fun. Due to Spitfire’s taxing career, she stepped down and took less of a parenting role but still supportive in all ways.
Some kids would have trouble adjusting to that lifestyle but Oki loves it. He’s shy but likes meeting new people and thrives off of Zecora and Fluttershy’s village rearing technique. He has the backing of his grandparent, past and current lovers of his parents, and even the multitude of family friends. One of those family friends being Discord.
At a young age, Okimba took an interest in magic. He even used to wear a fake unicorn horn. But he loved the whacky stuff he saw ponies could do with magic. He certainly took interest in uncle Discord’s magic and always wanted to spend time with him. Eventually Discord began to love Okimba’s interest and began training him to use magic. However more than that, Discord was an ever present line of support. He helped Okimba feel comfortable coming out as trans. Discord doesn’t really understand gender and he thinks it’s a nebulous concept.
Now, as a teen, Okimba spends a lot of time helping his uncle Discord and friend Tantabus Wildflower spread harmless chaos. Because of how often he spends around and using chaos magic, it’s affected his overall temperament and disposition. He’s also noted his strips moving from time to time.
