Name: Lalaki (Lala for short)
Race: Kaha'iko
Stage: Apprentice
Build: Of the lines that this stage has I'd like him to have the smallest, more thin and willowy of the lines, please! He takes a lot after his mother in that manner. <3
Gender: Male
3 Base Traits: Cheerful, Flirty, Spoiled
Personality: Lala grew up with a lot of older siblings, with the youngest of them being all at least apprentices by the time he arrived. He was a 'surprise baby' for his parents and that ended up with him being the baby of the family and thus he ended up quite spoiled. Anything he wanted from clothing, to toys, to jewelry, and beyond his family did their best to get for him and then some. As such he's not the sort that knows all that much about a hard day's work because he's used to people just giving everything to him.
He's also blessed with his mother's good looks so he is also used to being able to give people cute 'puppy dog eyes' and tends to get things from them. There are people in his village, merchants mostly, that would give him free little baubles and snacks as a child and it's something he's used to getting even now. It's mostly only in his own hometown though so he'd have to test his luck were he to go to another place.
In place of using just his cute face or his family though he can also be a bit of a flirt (nowadays since he's become a teen that is) to try to get things as well. It's a technique he's seen his mother use a million times in the past with her husband to make sure to get what she wants and it's something that he's picked up on. From what he's learned on his own it's also the best way to deal with strangers since note everyone is from his village, nor has just anyone been won over by him. As such were he to run into someone that didn't he might end up a little on the confused side to be sure. He wouldn't really understand why someone would chosen not to give him whatever he wants and might end up seeing them as a puzzle to be solved more then anything.
While Lala isn't prone to huge fits when he doesn't get what he wants he would definitely try his hand at a few tears as a last resort in an attempt to get what he wants. If the person still holds out on treating him in the manner he is accustom he might end up trying other things depending how committed he is, like trying to ignore them or the like. If it's still a bust then he will go to his parents or siblings instead.
Description:
~ Eyes: I'd like the eyes to be the big, wide, innocent sort of eyes, please! The coloring being the deep blue on the furthest right of the Kaha'iko choices.
~ Hair:
Style: I'd like him to have a style like this one where his hair is braided and goes down further then his feet are. Something that would look really pretty following behind him while he swims.
Main: The light teal on the far right.
Ombre: The deep, dark teal that is on the far left.
~ Skin: I'd like his skin to be the really dark silver that is several over from the right.
~ Scales:
Major: I'd like the deep teal that is two from the right.
Accent: The super light teal on the far left.
Clothing: I'd like the outfit to be similar to this one though only the shirt and skirt, not the wing like cloak or the head piece. Colors wise I will leave that up to the colorist to decide. So long as it goes well with the colors of his person I'm up for anything. I kinda like the look of the reddish accents that is listed and would like it used a little bit if it works with the rest of the colors. <3
Accessories: I'd like him to have some bangles around his wrists and ankles made of wood, maybe decorated with some shiny stones. If he can also have some piercings that would be great! I'd love him to have a septum piercing, some in the ears, eyebrow, and anywhere else that the artist wants to add them.

*****
Lala's parents had five children and that was enough for them, with them never planning on having another. What they had they thought were more then enough and their children were at the age where their training was getting to the point that they could start to help out in the various aspects of their parent's shop. Some were better at the tailoring aspect while others made really good merchants, able to sell anything to anyone.
Having Lala wasn't something that had been planned on with his parents being completely content with the children that they had. Until they weren't. As their babies grew and their 'nest' was suddenly empty the two of them realized that they missed raising children and wanted another. The desire for another child ended up with him being quite the surprise for the other children of the family who weren't expecting their parents to want another child, especially given the ages of their other children. Not a bad surprise in any way, but definitely a surprise.
The other children in his family were already at least apprentices, some older, some already working alongside their parents, when he arrived. He was just a little thing, cute and clingy, and because of this ended up a very spoiled little thing. At all times of the day and night he had a parent or sibling there dotting on him, giving him anything and everything he might want, anything to see him smile. He was only too happy to cling to them too, getting carried around from place to place, talking to them when they had free time, and on occasion trying out both tailoring and salesmanship, the latter of which just looked amusing and adorable when he was a child.
His tailoring skills are so-so but his skills at talking to people developed well, causing his parents to consider having him join the merchanting side of the business. The only thing they worry about is that he grew up a bit on the spoiled side and they wonder if he will be good at doing things that don't involve him getting something personally. They worry that his desire to have things given to him won't make him the best of salesman. It's up in the air at the moment if they will consider going forward with his training in that aspect of work or if they will double down on trying to up his skills as a tailor.
Lala is aware of the of the Menehune, he's even seen one or two of them from a distance, but he's never met one of them personally. His thoughts on them include a lot in the way of curiosity. He find them to be attractive enough and there is the urge to poke at their barbels. Other then that he has no real thoughts on them at the present. He wants to learn more about them if he has the chance, but he won't be leaving town to meet with them, not yet at least. He's heard his parents talking about the possibility of going on a trip so that they can see about selling to the neighboring clan but it's nothing set in stone and nothing they mean to do in the immediate future.
At the moment he's just happy to help where he can, play when he can, and get spoiled where he can. He knows he will have to be more serious when he grows up but that doesn't mean that he's in a rush to get to that point. He will see what the future brings when it arrives, for now he's happy to enjoy the present to the fullest.

Just a couple of things to get started ^.^ You mentioned that people are a puzzle to be solved when they won't give him what he wants, how does he handle it when they still don't budge? Being spoiled, is he prone to fits, or does he handle it a different way. Also, the people of Kahikina lay their eggs like fish do, so they have to lay the eggs somewhere and then fertilize them after, so there wouldn't really be a situation where he would be a surprise baby, if you catch my drift lol So his history would need a little bit of tweaking to incorporate that.
