The Natives


Characters

Ehawee is a young kiwani girl about the age of 19 living peacefully in the Kiwani village with her Soquili Majesty. She's 5'4" and a bit on the average side in build and looks. Perhaps appearing willowy because of her graceful nature. No one would call her beautiful...except perhaps when she smiles.

Ehawee lived alone in her small teepee. She helped with the village chores but spent alot of time by herself and with Maj. She has a trully strong relationship with Majesty and feels he's as much her best friend as any human. She understands him and he understands her.

Despite appearing happy and reveling in life...Ehawee is often pensive and sad. He mother died in child bed giving birth to her stillborn sister and her father was lost more recently. A true native warrior at heart, he took on a bear...and lost. He died peacefully in his sleep despite Ehawee nursing him as best she could.

Like all woman she hopes for love and children...but such things do scare her because of her mother. She was contest to live the life of a single woman...until...



Kwahu is an old traveling Kiwani warrior. He's spent many years traveling between the many viallages, trading, collecting stories, hunting and carrying message. It was on one such message trip that Wahu managed to get an arrow shot through his sholder. His Soquli Hototo brought him to the nearest village he could smell.

At around 27 Wahu is getting on in age for a warrior without a wife or kids. He's near 6 feet and somewhere between wiry and average. He's well built and could easily take on pretty much anyone in a one on one fight.

Wahu was brought to Ehawee's village half alive and then tended to by the village shaman and a few of the other woman, including Ehawee. Eventually it was decided that she would take him into her teepee and nurse him...seeing as she had room. The fact that she was unmarried and defenseless....well perhaps the village woman took that into account...

Ehawee and Kwahu now live together in the same tiny teepee. How could this possibly go well?

Their Story...

This ain't good is it Buddy?

In short, Wee and Wahu fall madly in love against the wishes of their companions. While Maj and Hoto form a brotherly bond over the situation. They're left to watch as the weeks turn into months and Wahu shows no sign in wanting to resume his former life. Wahu and Wee marry but not before Hoto mysteriously disappears. Most assume Hoto leaves after a talk that didn't go so well with his partner. Only said partner is unconvinced.

It's been about a year and Wee and Wahu are well establised. They've had their first child by the name of Manzi and Wee is a few weeks into her second pregnancy. It would seem life is perfect for the two...if they weren't constantly worrying about their equine companions.

For Wee it was watching her best friend fall hopelessly in love with a lovely mare he brought home from the woods. Everyone liked the mare and the whole village was overjoyed to see Maj happy. It was assumed the mare would stay, especially after the mare took to foal...only to leave suddenly after the birth. She worried constantly when Maj only returned with one basket, knowing full well Soquili usually have 2 or more. She wonders not only where the mother and sibling are but how Maj is coping. It seems to all that it's not so well.

For Wahu it's the constant worry that Hoto might be out there somewhere and harmed. To suddenly have your best friend and constant companion missing for so long would disconcert anyone. But Wahu has a plan in form of an eagle friend who he's sent to go looking for the long lost family member.
