Kehinde
Taiwo is Kehinde’s twin and is one of the scholars in Leopard Knocks. She lives high in a tree, which she and visitors access with help of a Miri Bird named Nancy. Taiwo takes Orlu on as her mentee, as they both love animals and nature. When Anatov sends Sunny, Sasha, Orlu, and Chichi to visit Taiwo, she teaches them to always be humble.

And—and I’m beginning to know how you people think! You’ll just find some other kids to do it if we’re all murdered! And why am I included in this?! I don’t know anything!”
“This is bigger than you,” Taiwo said, turning very serious. “But you’re part of it, too. It would be unfair for me to expect you to understand this just yet, but you will.”
