Mavuika/Lore

==Personality==
As the current Pyro Archon of Natlan, Mavuika has a strong sense of duty and responsibility with her nation. This devotion makes her extremely popular among the Natlanese.
She seems to be very fond of competitions and radical sports, this probably stems from her roots in the Scions of the Canopy. However, according to what she said to Capitano, she is no longer in her prime like she used to be.
Mavuika is also intelligent and calculating. She came up with a plan to end the Abyss invasions in Natlan once and for all in order to assure that her people would live peaceful lives. In order for the plan to work, she sacrificed her life into the Sacred Flame 500 hundred years ago in order to be reborn in the current time to put her plan into motion. She's also shown to be willing to sacrifice anything she considers dear to herself in order to prevent any outcome that may put Natlan in danger, no matter if it's objects given by her through the years or her own life.
She is also brave and courageous, deciding to go to the Night Kingdom alone with the Traveler and facing Capitano in a combat for her Gnosis, also willing to face him again a second time to prevent his plans of reweaving Natlan's Ley Lines with Ororon.
During critical moments, Mavuika has a tendency of "walk" through her memories in order to assure herself of the right thing to do. Doing it when Kachina was being rescued by the Traveler, Paimon, Iansan, Mualani and Chasca, during the Abyss invasion in Natlan and during the final confrontation against the Abyss in the Night Kingdom.
Outside of her duties as an Archon, Mavuika is friendly and amicable with everyone around her, being welcoming with the Traveler, even getting surprised when they told her that their arrival in other nations wasn't that peaceful like it was in Natlan.
==Appearance==
Mavuika is a tall woman with light skin and red eyes with yellow sun-shaped forms around her reddish-yellow pupils. She has red, knee-long, wavy hair with yellow undersides which resemble flames. It parts symmetrically. 
When Mavuika channels her power of the divine throne, her hair glows a fiery yellow.
Prior to her ascension as the Pyro Archon during her time in Huitztlan, Mavuika wore a white dress with a red and orange accent alongside with a scarf. Her sun-shaped forms that are in her eyes were not present at the time.
==Official Introduction==
Now, how to introduce her? The bearer of "Kiongozi," Mavuika, a leader completely worthy of leading the people of Natlan.
The woven scrolls and epics record all the most legendary of ancient deeds. Great heroes emerge, one after the other, and glory is passed down from generation to generation, and she has never failed to live up to such heavy expectations.
She who shoulders the title of the "strongest," she who respects all beings, be they strong or weak, and treats all equally.
For this, the people love her, sing her praises, and follow her willingly, with all their hearts.
Each time, when she addresses the Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame, her hair flutters with the Sacred Flame as her majestic voice rings in our ears.
She casts her inspiring gaze upon every warrior, every Saurian. She calls upon every flame of Natlan, uniting all fires into a bright light to drive away the darkness.
As we support each other, stumbling through the valley of the long, boundless night, wiping the tears from the corners of our eyes, and finally struggle to lift up our heavy heads—
We see naught but that unwavering, unchanging red, like the sun rising in the east.
What did she sacrifice? What did she give up? What kind of will has led her to this day?
We have no doubt that she will lead Natlan to yet another victory.
Our Sun will never set.
