Ahika Inoa

### Theme Song:

**Ahika Inoa** emerged from the depths of the ocean, resurfacing with a profound sense of purpose, one deeply personal to her. Hailing from the enigmatic Progene Tribe, whose home lay in the abyssal volcanic heart of the Deep Sea, she represents an extraordinary and rare presence to behold due to the low rate of sightings of people belonging to her tribe.

## Appearance

Upon encountering Inoa, one's immediate impression is her towering height, which soars to an imposing 335.28 cm (11'0"). It's a stature that not only surpasses the average for humans but even stands as an anomaly among her fellow tribespeople. What sets her apart physically are the distinctive marks etched upon her form. They manifest as fiery, crimson fissures, reminiscent of molten lava, running from her head down to her very toes. These enigmatic marks only seem to awaken during moments of intense rage, adding an element of mystique to her already striking appearance. In addition, her left shoulder bears a tattoo, a vivid sun emblem, a symbol she proudly wears as a representation of her mores.

Apart from these remarkable traits, her skin remains unblemished by any superficial damage, a testament not to her inexperience in battle but rather to the formidable defensive capabilities inherent to a Progene like herself. The lineage of her tribe is prominently evident in many of her physical characteristics, including her dark, resilient skin. While some reports mention Progenes with lighter complexions, Inoa's rich crimson eyes radiate with the incandescent intensity of molten magma. Her short hair, mirroring the same fiery hue, occasionally takes on a mesmerizing combination of orange and yellow at the tips during special occasions, creating the illusion of flickering flames. Notably, despite the initial appearance of human-like skin, Inoa's dermis is anything but soft—it possesses the hardness of stone, a testament to her Progene heritage, making her skin as resilient and unyielding as solid rock.

Inoa's foremost preoccupation revolves around her attire and its functionality. While the world may be replete with fancy, stylish, and modern clothing options, Inoa steadfastly adheres to tradition, a characteristic plainly evident in her everyday garb. Her sartorial choices are underpinned by two pivotal considerations, each integral to her way of life.

First and foremost, her predilection for traditional attire aligns harmoniously with her combat style, which demands perpetual movement. In the unforgiving arena of battle, a single misstep can spell her doom. Therefore, her clothing must allow for unimpeded agility, an indispensable facet of her warrior ethos. Moreover, the fabric she selects must be no ordinary material. It must possess the exceptional ability to withstand the searing heat of magma without igniting or melting upon contact. Finding such fabric is a challenging endeavor, often requiring considerable expense.

In her daily wear, Inoa adorns herself with a crimson top, a far more comfortable alternative to the bandages she previously donned. This red garment not only enhances her style but also boasts remarkable resilience to high temperatures, eschewing the perils of combustion and maintaining a high tolerance for magma exposure. Complementing her top, she sports armbands in a matching shade of red, adding a touch of continuity to her ensemble.

On her lower half, a pair of brown shorts satisfies the same stringent criteria as the rest of her outfit. However, it's the two-sided, split plain skirt that takes center stage as the pièce de résistance of her wardrobe. With its vivid and saturated tonality of red, in harmony with the prevailing color palette, this skirt stands as a striking statement of her identity. Completing the ensemble, a pair of sturdy brown boots not only aligns with her traditional theme but also ensures that she is prepared for any terrain or circumstance, maintaining both style and practicality in perfect balance.

Inoa's adoration for the sun finds a striking manifestation in her choice of accessories, each one reverberating with the theme of this colossal star. Her golden hairpins stand out prominently against the canvas of red that she adorns day in and day out. These seemingly lavish adornments hold more than just aesthetic value for her; they are veritable storytellers, purposeful reflections, and steadfast reminders. These cherished accessories bear the mark of exclusivity, a trait shared by many other items in her possession, and curiously, they fail to vex her despite the potential conflicts they once provoked.

Among these emblematic pieces, the centerpiece is a sizable sun-shaped collar—an accessory of immense sentimental value. This particular amulet holds a profound significance, gifted to Inoa during her formative years by a specific individual. The emotional weight and the enduring narrative that shroud this emblem make it a priceless treasure, one that Inoa remains deeply attached to, and one she has no intention of parting with at any time in the foreseeable future. The sun's radiant influence not only extends to her attire but resonates within these cherished ornaments, becoming an integral part of her identity and her story.

## Personality

Inoa is a woman of remarkable curiosity. While some may misconstrue her fanciful ideas as mere whimsy or folly, her fervent hunger for knowledge is an intrinsic aspect of her character. This yearning is rooted in the profound isolation she endured throughout her life, her dreams relentlessly guiding her toward the present moment. Her boundless curiosity, coupled with an incisive intellect, transforms her into an insightful individual. However, it is her unwavering determination and resolute stubbornness that define her character. In discourse, she remains open to diverse perspectives, ever respectful of the opinions of others. Yet, her convictions invariably hold sway, regardless of the counterarguments presented. Inoa's determination knows no bounds, and she will stop at nothing to garner agreement with her viewpoint.

Her social circles have never been teeming with friends, a reflection of her discerning nature. She extends her warmth and affability only to those who align with her preferences or arouse her insatiable curiosity. It is this curiosity that often leads her to forge connections with people. Her amicable exterior, however, only scratches the surface of her multifaceted character. Inoa's emotions are profoundly susceptible to external influences, and darker facets of her personality can emerge, particularly in response to the erosion of her patience or the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol.

Inoa is an individual who places immense importance on keeping her promises, even if doing so jeopardizes her own life. She abhors coddling and would rather protect those close to her than seek protection herself. This stance is deeply personal and steeped in a desire to prove her worth to a family that has held her in contempt. Inoa's unwavering purpose on the surface, as the embodiment of the brightest sun, is driven by this need for recognition. The concept of the sun wields profound influence over her identity, intricately tied to her tribal belief that they are the earthly manifestations of both the earth and the sun. It is this convergence of her past, her convictions, and the sun's symbolism that weaves the complex tapestry of Inoa's character.

Inoa exudes a unique blend of vulnerability and resilience. Sometimes she is characterized by an inherent susceptibility to external influences, stemming from a deep-seated longing for acknowledgment and validation in a world that often seems indifferent to her existence. The constant lack of recognition for such a long time has fostered a sense of malleability in her personality, making her receptive to the opinions and expectations of others. Despite this fragility, the girl's unwavering determination to rise above their past mistakes and failures is a remarkable trait. This can be shown when Mary talks with her explaining her point of view of the world's current state and her hate for the Celestial Dragons which makes Inoa side with her despite not knowing a thing about her environment she decides to trust her new friend's words, believing in her blindly and trying to support her even though it was an idea truly far from achievable.

Sometimes she ends up being a whirlwind of unintentional chaos, a perpetual accident waiting to happen. With every step, she seems to inadvertently set off a chain reaction of mishaps and disasters. Despite the mayhem she leaves in her wake, she's quick to offer apologies and take responsibility for the clumsiness, especially getting sentimental if her mistakes affect a friend, always striving to set things right. Even though sometimes she may not be able to help others always she prioritizes her close ones and their safety due to the severity of her actions.

## Relationships

Inoa and Mary forged an immediate and deep connection as if destiny itself had orchestrated their meeting. Their friendship blossomed at a rapid pace, largely owing to Inoa's inquisitive nature.

Mary's ability to elucidate complex concepts with a touch of humor left an indelible mark on Inoa's perspective, forever altering her perception of the world around her.

Inoa holds Mary in a special place in her heart, not only as her first true friend but also as a cherished confidante. She treasures their friendship deeply, and while Mary's frequent stumbles and falls might have elicited laughter from many, Inoa, ever empathetic, chose to offer her unyielding support instead. As Mary's comical mishaps multiplied in frequency, Inoa was determined to be the kind of friend who would stand by Mary's side, offering a steadying hand whenever she stumbled and a warm smile on the face of life's humorous twists and turns.
