Puakai - Designed by Mint Chip
Puakai's story starts out on a desolate island somewhere near Kiosoumn. She grew up alone, her egg left on the island and kept warm by the sand and sun. At first, she deeply feared the water and remained on shore, but she was quite clumsy on land. She would always trip over her tail or her paws and tumble into the grainy substance, which began to irritate her as she grew. She lived off of the fruits of the island, but there were times that she would see some fish and feel her mouth begin to water. However, all of her attempts at catching one without touching the water at all failed miserably and just left her disappointed.
On one fateful day, she had grown sick of coconuts and berries and marched to the water, jumping from rock to rock and crouching on the furthest one out as she eyed the fish below. He narrowed her eyes, raised a paw, and swung with all her might at the swimming creature. Her paw made contact, but the force she put into the movement slung her foreword and into the water. At first, she panicked, even became a little over dramatic in floating limp, pretending to be dying. It was not long for her to discover something miraculous. She could almost breath. It was like breathing through a small straw, but the air was there and was slowly going into her lungs. She flailed for a while beneath the water, then paused to watch some fish. She worked to mimic them, but failed in going anywhere but in circles, that is until she saw two whales in the distance. She watched their flukes sweep the water gracefully and began to copy them. Before she knew it, she was propelled through the water and to the surface.
It took years of practice and determination, but Puakai soon became a master swimmer. It grew to the point that she favored water over land. She had become bolder in her age and would venture further and further away from the island, but would always return before night fell. One day when she was going through her daily routine, she noticed an odd square shadow from the surface. She approached it slowly and poked her head out of the water nearby it and felt her body stiffen. It was another viscet. Puakai had never met one and thus it was left to her imagination, and to her, viscets were brutal and violent beasts who would attack her the instant they saw her fins. When the viscet looked at her, she yanked herself underwater, but the viscet was smart. It managed to get her from under the boat and convinced her to stay and talk a while. The viscets name was Amelia, and Puakai found herself finding a friend in the first viscet she had met. Amelia was a traveler, however, and thus could not stay long. The two parted ways at dusk, but Puakai felt some comfort knowing at least one viscet who was not pure evil.
Not long after, Puakai encountered a strange shadow whisking over the water that would forever change her life. She poked her head from the waves quietly but gasped in shock a the sight. A viscet with large wings flew over the ocean. Hearing the gasp, it turned around and flew to Puakai, hovering just above the sea. The two spoke for some time until Puakai noticed she was tiring. She invited the viscet, who's name was Hotaru, to her island. There, the two stayed up throughout the night talking to each other. Hotaru left every day, but always came back at night. This continued for several months until Hotaru invited her to come the mainland. Puakai was greatly hesitant for quite some time and waited nearly a month to make her decision, but in the end she decided to give it a chance. That night, she followed Hotaru through the sea to the main land.
Puakai lives within Impari's pack. Hotaru introduced her to it, having known the pack very well and believing that she would fit in among them. Shortly after her arrival, the pack worked to create a large pond for her. It is in that pond that she spends most of her time, swimming around and relaxing for hours at a time. She has several friends within the pack, but is not always open to strangers. A part of her still screams in warning when she sees a stranger. This makes her fairly fidgety and nervous when around strangers, which leads her to not trusting very easily. However, if she should adapt to a stranger she will be her usual bright and bubbly self around them, working constantly and practically bending over backwards to amuse them and keep them happy.
