• Nickname - Ru or Rue • Race - Pure Kaha'iko • Gender - Female • Hometown - Waipuka • Basic Traits - Relaxed, Confident, Inquisitive • Personality - Ruehi tends to be a free spirit type. She enjoys days where she can lay back and watch the light dance and reflect on the surface of the waters. When she moves it is never in a hurry. She takes the moment and savors it as much as possible before it can be ruined by something.
Despite what others might see as a slow movement into action, Ru is very confident. She trusts herself and her abilities, whatever they may be in the situation, and had no reason to doubt that she could fail. Not to say that she hasn't or won't fail but she sees no reason to worry about it.
She has become slightly more curious about things as time has passed and often times will ask questions or even investigate on her own. Even if the adventure poses some dangers she is willing to continue for the sake of figuring out the truth/facts.
Ru has a pretty normal relationship with her parents, as she respects them and can often times be seen spending time with them. When it comes to her siblings, however, she has a healthy rivalry with her brother. They try to outdo the other when it comes to their collection of shells and oddities. Sometimes even flowers. Her younger sister annoys her most times but she knows it is just because her sister wants to be like her. Ruehi will endure the annoyance from her female sibling, keeping her agitation to herself, but will excuse herself when things become too much. Or when she fears her facial expressions will give her away.
That same behavior is how she deals with non-family members. She won't actively show that she is irritated with them and only when she feels she can no longer stay near them she will try to find a way to make an escape. • Description - Blueish grey skin with beautiful azure colored scales adorning her forehead, forearms, and calves. Her hair is sea-foam green and slowly fades to a darker shade at the ends and is kept up in a ponytail. Her eyes are a light grey. Body type is slim with few curves to suggest a gender. • Clothing - She wears a wrap top that is sewn together to keep it from falling away from her flat chest and a draped short skirt with a leafy bustle. • Accessories - She has a flower in her hair, a string of pearls on her upper arm and a matching anklet. • History - Ruehi is the eldest of three children born to Alahana and Eweneki. She was barely two years of age when her brother, Matiu, was born. Ru had been delighted to see the small baby and was instantly attached. As they grew they became close and developed a rivalry between them that was more friendly than anything. Their parents adored them and doted on their every want and need. It wasn't until they were past the toddler stage that their parents had started to miss having a little one around and Whina, their baby sister, was born soon after.
Now with three children their parents settled in happily to watch them grow and love them endlessly. Ruehi continued her rivalry with her brother and quickly became a role model for her young sister. Now she tries her best to make good choices for her siblings though she seems to be struggling with what it is she wishes to do with her life.

• The people of the rivers and the sea are noted for their regal stature and calm demeanour. With silvery-blue skin and eyes, lightly colored hair and scales that range in cooler colors, the Kaha’iko blend in well with their river and lake environment. They are one of the tallest races in Kahikina, with willowy bodies that are on average slim and lithe. Out of all the races, they are the ones most willing to wander the nearby landmasses, and as a result harvest the flora and fauna as food and clothing.
The source of the Kaha’iko culture is high atop the great cliff where the water is born. Noelani, the spring-lake, is where it is believed that all water bleeds from, and is where the elders reside. It is believed that the water from the lake, some of the purest and untainted, can heal ailments and extend life. As a result, it is one of the most sacred and guarded locations to the Kaha’iko, and outsiders are rarely permitted to enter.
Although the main source of the culture is high atop Noelani, the Kaha’iko are widespread, with many small settlements around the lakes and rivers of Kahikina. These settlements often are located where the main river breaks or merges, with structures that are built both in the shallows and on land. Each structure has pools on the bottom floors, with storage and workshops higher up where it is dry. It is rare to find a building in the settlement that does not have a completely submerged basement thanks to an advanced system of underground drainways.
The Kaha’iko are a peaceful race, but recently have faced a great drought that has cut them off from the far-off sea. They have attempted to dig out and expand the river where it has dried to a stream, but had little success. As a result, they have abandoned generation old villages and have lost connection to the races beyond where the river has run dry. • Religion - The Kaha’iko believe in a circle of life that includes karma and resurrection. They feel that the Noelani Spring is the source of life, as well as the place where the souls of their people return to be born anew. Because they live and breath in the waters, they feel the spring is the source of life and what transfers souls into hatchlings. In order to give thanks for such a gift, they make an effort to preserve the waters and only take from the land what they need. They do not follow any set pantheon of gods, but do believe every single thing on earth contains nourishment from the water, and as a result show great respect for Kahikina and its flora, fauna, and people. • Government - Because the Kaha’iko believe that age equals wisdom based on experience and exposure to Noelani’s waters, they are led by an elder council that live outside the Noelani Spring. The elders are the ones who evaluate the world and the water from the earth, and as a result are respected for their knowledge by other races in Kahikina. Rarely, the elders may find a young Kaha’iko seen to possess an old soul, and as a result will invite this blessed child into their care to train them to become a leader for their people. • Physical Traits - || Cool, silvery-blue skin color || Cool scale colors that are often blues, greens, and silvers with rippling patterns and are located on the feet, calves, hands, forearms, and foreheads || Various shades of silver and blue eyes || Hair ranges from white to light blues and greens, often in a darkening ombre || Clothing is typically harvested from reeds and grasses that surround the river, as well as animal skins hunted out of the waters || Kaha’iko are a naturally tall and lean race with willowy bodies (Range of height: 5’ 11” and 7')
