'Ewalu is a main character in SplatterMaster. He is based on the creator's Splatoon 2 avatar and he debuted in 2022. He is Biromantic and has amnesia. His signature color is dark purple.

## Appearance

### Normal Form

'Ewalu is an octoling boy with dark blue eyes, purple hair and slightly tan skin. He wears a bamboo hat, an octo tee and a friendship bracelet. In his agent outfit, he hears the Octo Expansion outfit, which is a black crop top with one sleeve, black pants and black boots with a yellow band that reads "10,008" in octoling on his right foot and left hand, although this might change to the Side Order outfit.

### Werewolf Form

'Ewalu's werewolf form is twice as tall as his normal form and has a triangular face, soft-pointed ears, brown fur with purple hands, tail and feet, as well as stripes resembling octopus tentacles and black claws on his hands and feet. He has dark blue eyes with black scleras and has no markings around his eyes nor clothes unlike his normal form. At one point, the purple parts of his fur and his eyes were a dark red, and he had no control over himself.

## Name origin

"'Ewalu" means "eight" in Hawaiian, referencing the recurring theme of the number eight in *Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion*. "Henry" is based on the protagonist of Bendy and the Ink Machine, referencing the mascot character's reference, it also works with the name "Haunaele".

## Personality

'Ewalu is usually quiet and sometimes awkward, but he hates being ignored or put down, which is what the captain of the squidbeak splatoon usually does. He is usually pretty clumsy, but can dance and make weapons and gear with ease. He also is sometimes brutally honest.

## Powers

### Lycanthropy

'Ewalu transforms into a werewolf at night.

## Early Life

'Ewalu was born in Splatsville and went by his birthname "Henry", but was kidnapped and brainwashed by the octarians at age 8. When he escaped from the octarians at age 14, he got trapped in the deepsea metro and got amnesia. After escaping, he met Inka and fell in love with her as she helped him recover his memories and gave him the nickname 'Ewalu, but unfortunately, he doesn't remember his twin sister.

## Relationships

### Haunaele

'Ewalu had a good relationship with his sister before he was kidnapped, but he still doesn't remember her despite her looking for him.

### Inka

'Ewalu has a great relationship with Inka (a.k.a Agent 4) and they love each other for who they are rather than how they look. After 'Ewalu became a werewolf, it's unknown how Inka processed it after she ran away from him.

### Commander 3

The captain of the squidbeak splatoon has an irrational hatred towards 'Ewalu for an unknown reason and she doesn't allow him to go on missions, which seriously ticks him off.

### Kaleb

'Ewalu is shown to be suspicious of Kaleb in Agent from the Past, and in roleplays, they're shown to argue often.

## Theories and speculations

Due to how similar Kaleb and 'Ewalu look and that Kaleb was genetically engineered, it's possible that 'Ewalu's DNA was used to create Kaleb, there's evidence supporting and disproving this theory.

* Supporting:
	+ Kaleb and 'Ewalu have very similar clothes, skin tones and hairstyles.
	+ They were both part of the octarians at the same time
* Disproving
	+ Their personalities are pretty much opposite
	+ 'Ewalu is clearly a protagonist while Kaleb has potential for becoming an antagonist

## Trivia

* 'Ewalu's intolerance for being put down is also part of SplatterMaster's personality
* 'Ewalu's werewolf power has no reference, it was just a random thought at first
	+ However, the model is meant as a tribute to The Sims 4 and to add something to 'Ewalu's character, and a werewolf was chosen because all the other occults in the sims 4 (aliens, vampires, mermaids, and spellcasters) have been done in the splatoon community already
	+ He might also be the first werewolf character in the splatoon community, although this is not confirmed
* Despite them hating each other, 'Ewalu and Kaleb look similar
* 'Ewalu's favorite song is Burn the House Down by AJR
* 'Ewalu is the only character to have two names
* 'Ewalu is given a new outfit in his blender design, instead of wearing a bamboo hat and friendship bracelet, he now wears the golden toothpick and marination lace-ups, he will wear the same shirt
* Haunaele and 'Ewalu share the same birthday as Dipper and Mabel from Gravity Falls, who are also twins
* 'Ewalu's werewolf form with red fur and eyes is a reference to the fury meter in The Sims 4: Werewolves, when this meter is full, the sim loses control of themselves and rampages
