Child Description ∇ La'eimi is a young, narrow-bodied child. Though he chose to be considered 'male,' he has no especially masculine or feminine features: little muscle and little curve with no definitive facial features one way or the other. His eyes are the blue of a cloudless sky, with short, pale cool grey hair that darkens at the tips swept back and away from his face.
His soft powdery-blue skin almost makes his myriad of slightly darker and slightly lighter scales blend in around his forehead and forearms. Most of his physical features are cool colored and bluish, so he adorns himself in the bright greens, yellows, and oranges of the foliage that surrounds the river. He loves to accessorize and hoards beautiful, colorful, or shining things jealously! La'eimi's favorite colors and decorations are those easiest to harvest during the season of his birth: the fall.

Personality ∇ Despite his young age, La’eimi already has a rigorous passion for beauty and design. During his earliest years and into the present, his father, Afia constantly worked on designing and tailoring outfits for the Kaha’iko. He would gush over particular fabrics or special glittering finds, and, wanting to be part of the excitement, La’eimi would do the same, often expressing interest in whatever his father did. As he aged, rather than finding new areas outside of tailoring to branch out into, La’eimi instead realized that he liked aspects of design that his father didn’t work too much in. Afia liked layering flowing garments and customizing with accessories. La’eimi liked tight, bright articles more colorful than shiny. Toku, La’eimi’s younger sister, also intends to be a tailor and prefers dark, organic solely-plant-based attire. They all share an interest in tailoring but squabble consistently about design choices, and so even though La’eimi intends to follow his father’s footsteps in terms of a profession, he is just as eager to forge his own trends.
And that is something he takes pride in. Though he is still little more than ‘Afia’s son’ to others in his village, he expects to be as renowned in his craft as his father, and he won’t take no for an answer. La’eimi wants to be noticed, praised, and preened over. He will go out of his way to make himself heard and recognized, by being loud, dressing brightly, and oftentimes, getting into anyone’s face. He is fearless and social in that regard, though also frequently perceived as ‘annoying’ and something to be avoided.
Unfortunately, La’eimi is really only aware of his feelings and can sometimes forget to take others’ needs and interests into consideration, leaving him with few people who are able to tolerate him in lengthy doses, and even fewer close friends.
This is no concern to him, so long as he remains active. Afia gives his children a bit of roaming space (though he can be quite panicky and emotional if they stray too far for too long), so La’eimi will often traverse the banks for plants, stones, and textiles to keep himself entertained. He searches for beauty and usefulness in everything and loves to compete for the better finds with both his father and sister. He is very selfish with keeping the most interesting things, even if he doesn’t have anything to do with the item.
As such he can be a bit of a hoarder, needy, and nosy when other people have or are doing something of interest. He isn’t very easy to put down, but can also turn quite snappish when he hears something he doesn’t like. No one needs to be gentle with his feelings, so long as they don’t expect him to be gentle with theirs!

Infant ∇ Upolu and Afia were a bit impatient with starting their family. Both had steady work that lent itself to making it feel as though anytime could be the ‘right’ time for children. Upolu was a riverbank harvester and hunter. He could successfully weave netting to capture small bugs and fish, and he knew all the appropriate foraging locations for berries, nuts, and roots. Afia was a reasonably coveted and renowned designer and tailor in Waipuka. He prided himself strongly on beautiful, breezy, airy garments that made the taxing trip to Noelani feel easier while still maintaining an elegance and grace that the spirits in the spring would find charming.
It was simple business that brought them together, initially. Afia took interest in Upolu’s netting that was supposed to be used for harvesting, as a means of accessorizing. Though that was a fact that miffed Upolu (utilizing his hard-woven implements for food as a cosmetic item), he thought he could get over it. Afia was something of a gorgeous and social butterfly with a lot of passion and work ethic, so to have someone like that interested in anything stick-in-the-mud Upolu did seemed like it ought to be a blessing.
He sought Afia because his other prospects were few, and Afia was pleased that there was anyone not so intimidated by his exuberance that they couldn’t handle him.
It became apparent quickly that Afia had a lot of needs and craved almost constant attention and validation. Upolu thought he could manage. They were just two people who needed to figure out how to better harmonize. It would come with time. Besides, there wasn’t any other option. They could make it work. They weren’t really so different, and Afia wasn’t so intolerable.
Children would be something they could work together on. Children would temper Afia’s energy and give him something to quell his need for activity. It was, in fact, Afia who’d first mentioned wanting a child. They were so cute and so small, he’d said. Baby clothes! And children loved their parents unconditionally. Though it took Upolu time to warm to the idea, he did eventually agree that children could be good for them.
La’eimi hatched on a bright autumn morning.
Both his parents doted tirelessly on him. He was precious and treasured and loved. However… Upolu’s tasks of hunting, harvesting, and weaving often meant La’eimi spent more time with Afia than with him, and before Upolu’s very eyes, his first child turned into a small, even more energetic and sassy clone of his mate. The small things that had annoyed him about Afia (the need to repurpose useful tools for ‘design’, an unquenchable hyperactivity, a constant want for praise- sometimes for things Upolu didn’t want to praise) felt amplified with both of them around.
‘Another’ they’d decided once La’eimi was four years of age and capable of a bit of communication and learning self-sufficiency. He needed a friend, after all. They would get in trouble together. Maybe he would spend more time with his sibling than with Afia. Someone younger for La’eimi to help look after would give his energy direction. Another. Just one more.
And so Toku came into being.
Rather than teach him patience, temperance, understanding, and generosity, as Upolu had hoped, the combined forces of La’eimi and Afia only resulted in another little troublemaker. La’eimi and his little sister, Toku are a whirlwind force and partners in crime. His family is a bit too exhausting for Upolu to endure, and he frequently opts to spend his time elsewhere, which strangely seems to suit Afia just fine. His two children are enough to entertain the exuberant young man, and so even the very casual act of moving on from his partner is of little consequence to Afia.
While not ideal, Afia and Upolu are at peace with having separate living arrangements and little contact. Neither are seeking another partner, and neither bear any ill-will toward the other. The children spend most of their time with Afia, but Upolu still loves them dearly, and they will spend nights and evenings with him after he is fiished with work when he is available.
It was explained to La’eimi that this was ‘for the best,’ even if it’s different than what he is accustomed. Fortunately, he is a boy that takes change easily and fearlessly, and it was never especially daunting for him for his more crotchety father to not be always immediately available.
He enjoys spending time with his peppier father and sister, though it is not uncommon for them to butt heads over what looks better, and all three have different ideas of ‘beautiful.’
