I want RP with so many of your characters ;; <3
But these are the ones who stood out most at the moment!
Firstly, for either Mapatano or Ethi. I have
Jahina. She was outside of the lands during the metaplot and returned afterwards with a small group of Aka who were separated from the earthquake. Upbeat, optimistic and a joker, Jahina loves to cheer people up and play the joker. She and her vulture familiar are partners in crime. If they saw Mapatano looking glum they'd likely try and play a trick on him. Could probably also be good friends with Ethi.
And then for Manju! I have
Shesha who would be extremely flattered by his compliments and proposals. Perhaps, when he gets out of that phase, she might be a bit miffed and then chases him around when they are older? xD I can also offer Shesha as a friend for Penzi.
