Updated Montgomery and Yek:
My main changes were Montogomery's expression, Yek's fur and feet colors, and the background's colors to make the cool colors of the characters pop more.

"The unwise female half-Ki-Rin tomb robber who is prone to odd statements. She appears far more non-human than human."

Wikipedia didn't give much information in terms of storyline for me to fit my character, so I asked many people who have played the game themselves how to best fit her in story-wise. I found out that Jak collects things called Power Cells, and these became my main objective in giving my character a background. Power cells and side quests.
