Physical Description
Hakuamatani is considered an attractive maha by common Yoreiq standards. They have long, straight black hair with red streaks through it. Their dark skin is adorned with many tattoos, particularly on their face; the forehead, under the eyes, the sides of their cheeks, along part of the jaw line and on their chin. They also have more across their body, all of which are abstract in design as is the case with Yoreiqi tattoos.

Haku has large beautiful wings, mostly dark teal and kelly green in color, but a streak of red run through their feather coloring as well and the base of the wings have a bit of an orange hue to them. Their eyes are a lovely amber shade and Hakua's frame is slender but not as toned as most.

Personality
Hakua is very trusting, bordering on being naive. They are not entirely blinded by compliments but they do appreciate them greatly. Hakuamatani is just as quick to compliment others and the concept of flattering someone to get something is a bit lost on them so any compliments from them are sincere and they assume the same of received complements. Despite being a grown adult in their early 30s Hakua is a bit immature. Part of this is attributed to the fact that they never expected to be Crown. Before being crowned Hakua was a spiritual advisor and still acts a bit more like that than a true Crown and leader.

Hakuamatani LOVES jokes and humorous stories but doesn't always... get them. Their sense of humor is just... not sharp and sometimes they laugh at things they think are jokes but aren't.

Magic/Abilities
Hakuamatani can fly from island to island distance wise but only in fair weather as they are not particularly skilled at navigating through more treacherous winds and conditions.

Hakua can dance and throw a spear but that's about it.

Relationships

Hakuamatani currently has no children or lovers! They need some maybe? 8D

Hakua is the middle child of five. Their eldest sibling was Queen but she was lost at sea about eight years ago and is presumed dead. Their older brother had to be removed from power and their younger siblings were too young, so Hakuamatani had to take the crown. Not that they really minded too much, they never had aspirations for it though.

History

Hakuamatani knew from an early age that 'he' was not a 'he'. When they made this realization they originally thought they might be a she, as women's clothing and roles made them more comfortable and parts of the male anatomy felt strange to have. As Hakua grew however, they realized they were maha. Part of the realization was made when their friend, a shaman named Hekelani, offered to use his magic to help Hakua transition physically into a woman. Hakuamatani realized they didn't want to change their body, and that they didn't quite feel like a woman either.

As a maha and a royal Hakua felt their role was a spiritual adviser and that was plenty for them. They spent much of their time with their friend and would help with various tasks for their family as well as give advice (often in the form of veiled and almost nonsensical metaphor) to any who needed it. Hakua liked their life. There was not much to worry about. Things were simple.

When Hakuamatani reached their early twenties a storm beached foreign ships on the shores of Yoreiq for the first time. Everyone was fascinated by the new and very different people. They spoke a strange language and dressed weirdly. Their ships were much bigger and just seemed entirely different. Still, they were welcomed and provided for- even repairs to their ships were made so that they could return to their voyage when ready. Since then foreigners have visited Yoreiq, trading with the people and the port village of Ainu expanded as a result.

Hakua was enamored with almost every foreigner to come to Yoreiq. They wanted to meet all the people, hear all the stories (as best as the language barrier could allow), those huge ships held promise for Hakuamatani. They longed to visit these other worlds.

But then two years later tragedy hit his family hard. His sister, Queen Leinami, was assisting a fishing expedition when a storm took the small fishing boats. Leinami was never found, and having no children the crown was given to Hakuamatani's older brother Matanoa. Matanoa was King for all three moons before he was exiled by his family. Matanoa was mad in the head and would chatter on to coconut trees of how the foreigners were bringing darkness with them to Yoreiq and they would destroy the island nation. His behavior was frightening and unsettling but when he set fire to part of the palace to appeal to Rokalele for help, the royal family knew they had to depose him.

Hakuamatani never wanted or expected to be Crown of Yoreiq, but he could not let his people down. They have been leading the people for eight years now.
