== Description ==
A form of mamonme which resembles a beautiful butterfly woman.
It
is said that in the distant past, when the world was still very young 
and the alva, dwarfs, fae, humans, naga and merfolk inhabited the lands 
and oceans in peace and harmony. That a kindly god journeyed across the
realm to inspect the Prime God’s handiwork. He noted that the humans 
were notably short-lived and were prone to becoming aged and wrinkled 
when they neared the end of their mortal lives. Heartbroken the god 
garnered the brightest colours from as many sources as he could imagine.
Flowers, trees, sunlight, coral and the refractions of crystals and 
ice, all of these he placed within a magical bag, and when he opened it,
a new creature known as the butterfly flew out enchanting the peoples 
with their colours.
Marvelling at his own craftwork, he gave the 
butterflies the most fantastic songs to complement their beauty. 
However it is said that the songbirds grew jealous for not only had the 
butterflies the most beautiful of colours, but their voices and songs 
were far superior as well. Complaining to the Prime God, it is said 
that he removed butterflies’ ability to sing leaving them silent and yet
beautiful.
Eons later, when Seretique vi Alloriel brought about 
the Grand Changing, many butterflies underwent a transformation, 
becoming a dark-skinned butterfly mamonme. These mamonme are now known 
as polimana.
Poli mana are a mamonme which exist all over the 
world today. While this may be the case in present times, it is 
believed that they originally hail from Laramies and crossed the 
Celabrilassic Ocean in a bid to reach the populated continents. They 
are possessed of a dark skin, a pair of spectacular butterfly wings, 
chitinous legs and hands. A butterfly’s abdomen emerges from the small
of their backs, completing the butterfly image of these beings. They 
are well known to display an airy, conspicuous, fluttering type of 
flight and movement. They usually wear a simple, tasseled skirt and 
top marked with symbols representing their tribe or family. A butterfly
clasp worn on the chest also denotes their tribe’s colours.
A 
polimana’s wings are usually bright and beautiful, however what is not 
so readily apparent is the fact that their wings display the type of 
personality they exhibit. Those who are very “girly” in nature oft 
possess striking pink wings and eyes, while those with wings of orange 
are sincere and thoughtful. Blue wings may refer to a calm personality,
while green wings evoke a personality of balance and one who works well
in harmony with others. Wings emblazoned with yellow denote a joyful, 
especially sunny disposition. Those who have a creative, spontaneous 
disposition will have wings of a purple hue while those who have a 
particularly lustful and passionate humour will sport wings of a 
brilliant red tincture. Hereditary information is also contained within
the patterns and colours of a polimana’s wings and as such one may find
patterns which display colour information regarding their parents.
As
was previously mentioned polimana have truly wondrous wings, however 
these wings can be troublesome due to their sheer size and tenuous 
nature. For this reason it is common for these mamonme to sleep on 
their stomachs as well as on their sides. Polimana in loving 
relationships may often sleep on their side, their arms and legs 
clinging to their partner’s. In this manner a polimana’s wing muscles 
will seize rigidly, her abdomen which is a tough and chitinous extremity
will behave much like a rest, restricting her from moving into a 
position which will put her wings at risk of damage.
In more 
carnal activities, these mamonme will usually maintain a position above 
their partner, oft fluttering with their great wings. While this is the
norm, as long as they remain on their side many are happy to dabble in 
other postures. It should also be mentioned that a polimana’s wings 
have many nerves running throughout the region and as a result are 
notably sensitive. Soft caresses are said to drive these mamonme to the
brink rather easily. As is also well known these mamonme have a 
specialised tongue referred to as a proboscis, while this is 
specifically for feeding on nectar and other saps, at a partner’s 
request a polimana will put this appendage to use in other “stimulating”
activities.
Polimana are spontaneous, cheerful and especially 
social. Due to their disposition they oft attend parties held by other 
mamonme and are typically referred to as social butterflies. They will 
oft flit from party to party and are typically the life of the party. 
Those whom are in a relationship with these mamonme will be expected to 
attend these parties and as such will be shown off to those at said 
parties. Polimana are fiercely loyal to their partners, even when at 
the heart of a party and will drive away any individuals who may attempt
to woo them. They are also natural dancers and will frequently drag 
their partner onto the dance floor, encouraging them to dance with them 
and enjoy themselves.
As we have already stated, polimana are 
natural dancers, however this is due to the fact that polimana will 
migrate at certain times of the year, to their ancestral homelands to 
reinforce their familial and tribal bonds. They are know to perform a 
dance known as the butterfly dance and will wear a curious headdress 
during said dance which is referred to as a kopatsoki. Single polimana 
typically wear their own headdress, however their husband will be 
expected to create an elaborate kopatsoki which they will treasure as a 
special keepsake which will be used year after year at the dances. The 
butterfly dance is said to be a prayer for good rains, good health and 
long life for all living beings.
In closing we would like to 
state that, in the words of those interviewed who share their lives with
a polimana wife. Life with a polimana becomes a whirlwind of parties, 
dances and love from the mamonme herself.
