Teeghouti was born stripe-less, a disgrace for its family, and grew up as an outcast. But a true Janoa he was, a fearless hunter his heart kept telling him. So as soon as he was old enough to carry a spear did he went into the tropical rain forest to test his might. If nature did not gave him the stripes he deserved at birth he would get himself some!

Teeghouthi was a stripe less outcast, but no one among its people would dare question his courage and strength as he had earned to wear its titled in blood and sweat, as for the Janoa he was Teeghouti "the striped".
