The first word that would pop in my head when you say the name "Nekoda" would be
"balance". Seriously. He behaved when necessary, yet he's active like the 8-year-old kid that he is whenever he can. He's a pretty silent worker, but he always did his best behind the scenes. He took care of his sisters even if he wasn't the eldest. He had the capacity to determine when it was time to just smile quietly or laugh like there was no tomorrow. He could content himself with waiting and standing by his parents and wait until he could run around to his heart's content.
For me, Nekoda represents balance.
But, more than that, he represents a kid really livin' the life.
