Paninj - the OG

Paninj is one of the first two original characters in the NEEKZ collection. This eclectic panda symbolizes the Creator archetype, a character with lots of creativity and thought flowing from within. This arch is one of imagination, ideation, and ambition. Creators want to take on ALL of their wildest dreams, and help those around them do the same. Though this type is praised for their free-flowing ideas and action-taking, they tend to have a downfall of not "living in the moment" often enough. Dream-chasing can often get the best of the Creator type as they forget to take into account and show gratitude for where they are NOW.


Are you and Paninj alike?
Still not sure?

Take our archetype quiz to see which NEEKZ character you're most like!

P.S. remember, archetypes are found throughout humanity and one may embody many archs — the good AND the bad — the key is to embrace our similarities and understand our differences — much love! ♥
