In the animal store on the VeriGen Space Station while their mother and the shopkeeper were making a deal on the geney's of the Dorctemph Cows that had been raised in their Home Ship two small children, obviously brother and sister, were giggling while petting the Triksom Rabbits. The young children are around 5 or 6 years of age. The little girl had long blonde hair in braids, several braids on each side of her head pulled up and tied together with big blue bows of ribbons. she was wearing a set of blue overalls and a white shirt with lace trim at the end of the sleeves and lining the pockets on her overalls. Her brother had short messy hair of a slightly darker shade. He was wearing tan shorts and a green and black shirt.
Although Triksom Rabbits are genetically similar to Terran Rabbits they are much smaller as well as visually their appearance is closer to Terran White Mice. While these were adolescents, a full grown Triksom is small enough to fit in the palm of an adults hand. The Triksom Rabbits had long pointy ears that ended in tufts of colored fur. Two of them had blue tufts, one light blue and the other dark blue. The third had orangey pink tufts. Unlike Terran Rabbits the Triksom Rabbits had long winding tails about 2-3 feet long that also ended in a tuft of fur the same color as the one on it's ears. Triksom Rabbits looked quite cute but are very mischievious which is why they became called by the name of Triksom. Originally when they were first discovered they were called by another name that has been long forgotten.

"Ban, I wish we could have one." sighed the little girl with wishful want and pleading eyes. "They're sooo cute."
"Tss, you know ma won't let us." the boy replied quietly while Bim picked up the smallest of the rabbits. It had tufts that were so light a blue that they were nearly white.
The girl bit her lip, "I.. I know that."
"It's time to go you two." their mother called as she finished the transaction with the store attendant.
"Okay," the boy yelled. As Bim turned around to follow her brother she nonchalantly slid the young rabbit into one of the pockets of her overalls.
