Name: Ruminui
Race: Moakai
Gender: Female
3 Base Traits: Shy, Kindhearted, Skillful
Personality: Ruminui has some trouble in meeting new people since she is so shy. She tends to stay to herself and when faced with the potential to make a new friend she is more likely to blush and hide than she is to talk. If she does manage to make a friend she is slightly less shy but only just. She still blushes often and might even stutter but at least Rumi won't hide anymore. Unless she needs to use them as a shield to hide from others that is. She doesn't hide because she feels she is better than anyone but because she fears that she will not be liked for who she is.

Despite her initial shyness Ruminui has a big heart. She likes to help out her friends and family when she can. She has also been known to give hugs out when she notices that someone she considers close is upset. Rumi even tries to find ways to help strangers. While it likely won't be a face to face encounter she will still do what she can to make sure help has been given.

Her kindheartedness also extends to animals. Ruminui loves all life and feels it should be treated with love. Even those angry little beasties that attack others - she thinks they are just misunderstood. (-eyeroll.-)

Rumi views the world as most her age do. It's a big scary place and she doesn't want to go too far from home. Though if she has her friends and family with her then she doesn't mind traveling. As long as she gets back home at some point she's okay with it. Tell her it's a permanent move and she might freak out.

With the helping hand of her mother, Ruminui has discovered that she has a talent for healing. She is not only good at picking out which plants are best to use but she also has a knack for knowing just how to use them for the maximum effect. Because of this Rumi hopes to become a healer/doctor when she's older. Her mother has told her that in order to do so she needs to stop being so shy around others but so far she's had little luck with this. Not that she isn't trying.

History: Ruminui is the youngest of five children and the only girl born to her parents. Her older brothers have more than three years on her and so they all do their share of "big brothering." Her mother, Amoulai, was pleased beyond words to know that she had a daughter at last and so showers her with love. Her father, Matiu, expected another son but was happy when Rumi turned out to be his little girl, though he was also scared since she was his first and only daughter.

The first signs of her gender showed early, around the age of two, when all she wanted was to wear pretty dresses. However, it wasn't until later that it really showed just how much of a girl she was. Amoulai and her husband treated Ruminui like her siblings as much as possible, due to the trend of boys, but once the feminine side shone through they encouraged it shamelessly.

Each brother seemed happy to have a sister, though they each declared as she got older that she was not to date nor was any boy to bother her. Typical big brother stuff. Of course the protective streak in them grew when Rumi's personality finally shone through. Knowing that she was shy and kind they wanted to make sure no one took advantage of her and so became a bit overbearing. Even Matiu was a little over protective.

Amoulai acts as though she doesn't see how her husband and her sons act because she doesn't want to draw attention to it in case Rumi thinks their behavior is normal of big brothers and a dad. Why ruin that way of thinking for her when it clearly hurt no one?

As Rumi grew and she showed that she had a skill for the healing arts her mother helped her learn more. Amoulai wanted to improve that skill in her daughter so that she could help others like she do desperately wanted to do but was always scared of. Now that Ruminui is a bit older she is hoping that her lovely daughter can find friends that will help her to come out of her shell a little more. Even Rumi hopes to make more friends - with time of course.

Congrats on the raffle win!

What do you mean by the line "she fears she will not be liked for who she is". How did she get that mindset, and what does she feel people wont like about her?

Does she tend to gravitate toward a certain person? She clearly is surrounded by others, so does she look for others that are similar to her family behaviors? How does she feel about being without many friends? Does she want to get over her fears, or is she ok being away from others?

For her history, could you dig in a little on her interactions with the reef (if any) and her impression of the events with the river and swamp folk being discovered? How did she find out?

Thank you~ I adore her. She's such a cutie! owo

So, I just meant that Rumi sees that others are more out going and they seem to be accepted easily because of this and she fears that since she isn't like that then she won't be accepted or liked as much if at all.

Mostly she gravitates toward her brothers. All of them equally since they all spend an equal amount of time with her or around her. She does seem to be more open toward those that have similar personality traits as her brothers, ie protective, caring, funny.

She doesn't like that she has so few friends, and hopes to make more. Rumi wants to get over her shyness but finds it to be difficult most times.

She has no interaction with the reef people since she's afraid to go too far from home and she's only just discovered the river/lake people exist though she's not so sure if it's true. It's something like a myth to her at the moment.

Hey there! Kana here. I just wanted to add onto the initial crit from Ely.

The people of Kahikina are non-gendered physically, so there's no way to know as a baby what the kids will decide to associate themselves with later. To be surprised that they have a girl wouldn't really be possible until the kid started to speak and understood what gender they wanted to be. It sounds to me like in her history, she was born and they were happy to see a girl. Can you clarify it a little more to how old she was when she decided she was a girl, and how her parents and brothers felt up until it was decided?

Whoops! You are right! I can change that to where he was excited to find that she identified as a female. ouo
