Senior Research Associate Iota Ono (or just Iota, as he prefers to be called) is a fox whose intellect far exceeds his height. he is a well-respected higher up of the biotechnology wing of the lab, and sits comfortably near the top of it's chain of command.
though he is one of the brighter minds in the biotech. wing, he falls incredibly short when it comes to socializing with his peers, and is quite skittish and timid around others, preferring the company of machines and computers.

his higher-ups have tasked him with directly monitoring and (when permitted to) interacting with Ven. though he was hesitant to even breathe the same air as the deer, he has slowly but surely warmed up to them, forming an almost friendship-like bond with Ven.

(other half of that larger piece I mentioned in the previous post. wanted to leave my comfort zone and take a crack at a new body type with this character and I think I did alright. made him to be the exact opposite of Ven both in terms of color and design. also his height is 5'4", the five just looks like a six because I got sloppy and forgot to fix it)
