Ona 'Ikaika

*"Every Ali'i before me was a strong warrior, they all had a duty to protect the Māhele and I must honor their legacy. Being Aliʻi* *means that I am more than just Ona 'Ikaika, I am a people. I am the Māhele. Everything I do is in their name. I don't get to be selfish...they need me. Aouli needs me. I need to do right by our ancestors and show him what it means to be part of the* Māhele. After all, if I am to fall...he will become Ali'i in my place.*" - Ona 'Ikaika*

## History

### Chapter One: The Māhele

*"Mommy, tell me about the first Ali'i and the original Māhele again? I want to be big and strong just like she was...just like you are! Will you please tell it to me again? I promise to sleep once you're finished, I pinky promise!" - Aouli 'Ikaika*

It was the year 13 IA, 13 years after a new Emperor had taken the throne. The Māhele were originally nomads. A small people with no name, wandering from place to place. They came from the lands of **Lalotai** but fled due to the Empire's Influence, settling in what is now known as **Kuapuiwi**.

Nanea Māhele her name was, the first Ali'i of the Māhele tribe. She didn't know it at the time...but she'd leave a legacy for years to come and her stories would be passed down by her kin for generations. What was she like? Powerful, daring, and beautiful. Legend says that she rivaled even the strongest men within the tribe. She was anything but ordinary and she did everything she could for her people.

## Personality

*"A leader must show the solidity of her people. If for one second you show weakness...it is over and your enemy has won. If you have any desire to safeguard those you love, you must set your emotions aside and be a beacon of strength. Only then can you protect your people and lead with pride." - Ona 'Ikaika*

Ona is an extremely headstrong individual who believes heavily in the tradition of her tribe. With this, she faces many challenges head on and with the strength of the Māhele guiding her hand. While she is a leader, Ona is also a mother and a lot of her motherly characteristics coincide with that of whom she leads. This often gives her a strict and overprotective aura as she strives to honor the legacy of the Ali'i *who came before her*.

**Aouli 'Ikaika**- *"E ku'u aloha, my little fish. You have brought great joy to me, if your father were here I'm sure he'd be proud of the undine you've become. All I hope is that you'll follow in my footsteps and lead the Māhele further towards greatness." - Ona 'Ikaika*

## Aspirations

*"I have an obligation to the Māhele until Aouli comes of age and takes my place. It will be a while until he is ready, but I believe in him. If he continues his training then he'll be ready to lead when it is my time to join the spirits of **Kuapuiwi**. Until then, all I can do is uphold my responsibility to my people." - Ona 'Ikaika.*
