MYO Kelki entry

QuQ well I hope I made it in time haha

this species is honestly a dream and I don't know what I'd do if I didn't at the very very least tried to enter the wonderfully generous MYO contest held by here  [EVENT] Kelki MYO contest! /COLOR RULE REMINDEREDIT / There were a few people who have submitted Kelkis that were either gray or very very dark on their base color, and I'd like to remind everyone that Kelki's must be colorful! ;v; They don't need to be eye-hurtingly bright, but dull browns, grays, whites or super dark colors won't be accepted as the base color! Small highlights with these colors are okay, but the base color must be at least somewhat colorful! Thank you!
EDIT/ Added a short info about the stripe markings in the 'Entry rules'-section because I felt like the guide comes off as too strict!
Also forgot to mention that you are allowed to edit the design after submitting, until the deadline. If you are unhappy with how something is in your design, you are more than free to do some edits to it, as long as it stays inside the species rules! In this case I advise you to remove your deviation from the group and re-submit it with the edits so I can go over it again and make sure everything is

Small backstory: this Kelki was always bullied in the their youth but envied for looks even though their coat was so brightly coloured like fresh fruit. They grew up in a wild village which was very close-knit so all the youngsters would be introduced to the rest of the group once they were old enough, this is when the other kids began to tease him. After years of self esteem lowered and almost causing a predator to destroy their home they ran away wandering aimlessly till they were found by a peculiar flishling nick-named 'Rust' toyhou.se/87568.chipper-rascal…  who took them to love in the city where they worked. 'Squirt' was made a messenger and commended for his speed and agility, his small body perfect for fitting into the rush hours and his tireless energy which kept him working nearly 23/7 so to speak ( time measurement is probably different but just to give a general idea of how hard this Kelki works).
