She joined ERPT in 1996.

Nyota
The character is instantly recognizable by her prosthetic makeup, bandanna, jaguar eye contacts, jaguar-teeth like dentures, and body-painting, created by Jetanian artist Marcus Anderson. The prosthetic makeup parts was originally made of silicone, but later remade out of foam latex and gelatin.

The character, wearing tribal clothing, is portrayed as an former human turned anthro jaguar who escaped a secret military facility in South Africa, living in Eruowood City. Her character is cheerfully optimistic, enthusiastic, and seemingly oblivious to her own failings. She is 35 years old, but still lives at home with her adoptive mother, to whom she makes references. Her mother is apparently unaware of her adoptive daughter's popularity. She sometimes has a sidekick in the form of "Emily", a pink and yellow jaguar puppet.
