== Personality ==
Not much is known about Ibukunoluwa's personality, since she lived centuries before the story takes place. She caught the attention of the goddess Circ because of her clever disposition and adaptability.
== History ==
Long ago, Shingurun was an unstable and chaotic land. Villages close to the border, such as the northeast one where Ibukunoluwa lived, lived under the threat of invasion and looting. The goddess Circ took pity upon the land and chose Ibukunoluwa as her champion because of Ibukunoluwa's fluid combat skills and unique intelligence. Ibukunoluwa received a blessing from Circ, and gained the ability to control magical yellow circles, as well as increased physical abilities. As thanks towards Circ, Ibukunoluwa changed her last name to Ayika, meaning circle.
Ibukunoluwa used her new power to protect her village, then the neighboring ones, then the neighbors of the neighbors. As her circle of protection grew, so did the number of people who followed her and worshiped Circ, forming into the Circa Clan. Soon, her influence began to clash with her counterpart's: E'ling San of the Tria Clan's. The Circa Clan and the Tria Clan became enemies, despite the fact that Ibukunoluwa and E'ling weren't very hostile towards each other.
Ibukunoluwa's power was passed on to her first child, and the cycle continued. Her descendant, Adelana Ayika, is the holder of the power centuries later during Forgotten Villainy.
