...appearance*
physical...[/b][/size] The first thing someone would probably notice is the shock of red hair, then the mass amount of freckles on her face. The girl is a ginger--but not entirely. You see, her skin isn't that fragile milky white. It holds a nice coloration, and her freckles are multiplied by the long hours in the sun and on the ocean.
She's long and lean, with a long torso, a graceful neck and a delicate string of muscles working down her body. She sits somewhat broad in the shoulders from swimming, and her stomach has a smooth set of abs beneath her tanned skin. Kailani is fit, in shape and strong. Believe what you want--surfboards are heavy. Between swimming, and hoofin' over the islands, there's been many years to build up muscle.
clothing style...[/b][/size] Typically, she dresses like its summer every day. Shorts, tank tops or croptops, bikinis u nder loose clothes. However, this is a little uncommon in New York, as she's quickly discovering. Also, this dreadful white stuff falling from the sky has made her have to bundle up like nobody's business. Her style is a little bit of a mix between New York and Hawaii, and seems to...flounder a bit (c wut i did thar?).
defining traits...[/b][/size] She's pretty defined by having that bright red hair and looking like the freckle monster puked on her face.[/blockquote]
...personal info*
personality...[/b][/size] Kailani is a bright young woman, raised in a sunny, carefree place and thrust into another world that she doesn't quite fit into. For the most part, she's pretty happy. Eager, adventerous even. She's not a reckless sort, but she does like to explore--enjoying the world for what it is.
She's fierce, and doesn't really stand for being bullied or letting others be bullied. Kailani may not look it, but Hawaii runs through her veins. An easy, accepting way of life. Enjoy every moment of it and never let it go to waste. With that being said--she enjoys the idea of living freely.
After being dragged to New York by her father--something seemed to have died in her. Taken away from her ocean, tossed in a freezer and let out to dry like a fish in a market. She's having trouble adjusting to New York, and is partially tempted to escape back to Hawaii. But her father urges her to stay in school. To focus. To get a REAL job.
The more she's urged, the more she wants to escape. She tends to be slightly snappish when she's extremely homesick. Kailani hasn't contacted her friends since moving to New York--not because she doesn't miss them, but because she can hear the roar of the ocean calling to her. Lani is somewhat skeptical of New York, and she tends to go from easily excited about the new place--to wanting nothing more than to jump in the ocean and surf her way back home.
life until now...[/b][/size] Born in the land of surf, sun, and easy--Kailani had it pretty good for a long time. She didn't realize how short her tether was, she didn't know that her parents watched her--even when she went to her secret spots. She didn't know they followed when she took a trip to the other islands for the surf. Not allowed out at night, Kailani never thought much of it.
Not until she met a boy from the Big Island. Now, you see. This boy took her further out to the surf, tried to get her to go to beach parties in the dead of night--and on his visits to Oahu, Kailani would sneak out for a little bit of surf and turf--and for a while, things were going pretty well for the teenage Kailani.
That was until her father happened across her in a liplock with Kaona. From then, as per her mother and father's rule--she was forbidden from seeing Kaona, or leaving Oahu without a parental guardian at her side. Now, being a daddy's girl--Kailani obeyed. For a short while.
Until Kaona came knocking again, where the two ran to Kauai. In her mind, they were eloping. In Kaona's mind, it was a fun getaway, with no strings attached. Missing persons went out on Oahu. Kailani left her phone, and had the idea that maybe...just maybe she was grown up enough to handle being on her own, living out of a happy little hut on the ocean. Until her father managed to track her down after about a week and a half.
In order to sever her rambunctious ties; because heaven forbid she run off with a man like her mother did--her father promptly packed their things and hauled Kailani to the mainland. The rest of America. Little by little over the next year, they made their way up to New York--where her father was born.
Having been in Hawaii from a young age; the transition was difficult. She refused to make roots, being the stubborn child her father liked to remind her she was. In his eyes--he was helping her. In his eyes, he was teaching her how to be an adult, and take adult responsibilities.
the present...[/b][/size] But the best part of being in Hawaii, was that there was an illusion of no responsibilities. At the age of twenty, Kailani took up a job out at the beach, giving surf lessons on the menial, weak waves. The beach here wasn't bright, wasn't blue. There was a dead chill to it, and the more she had to suffer through snow--the more she began to resent her father.
This came in the form of enrolling into Barrie shortly after she turned twenty, in order to escape from him. The idea of running away, back home seems like a good idea at times. But there's a mystery to New York. She may be a child of the ocean--but part of her father is in her veins. It drives her to wonder about the large cities, the skyscrapers. The hustle and bustle.
For now, she attempts to fit in--though she seems to stumble a bit. She immerses herself in trips to the aquarium in the winter, and tries to be at the beach as often as she can. Though, the longer she stays in New York--the more she begins to forget about the ocean. It's a slow process, and as long as it's not brought to attention--she is none the wiser.
other notes...[/b][/size] Kailani doesn't like to talk about her mother, much. Her mom ran out on her and her dad a littl after she was born. Prossibly to California, though Richard stopped looking for her, and focused on Kailani. It's speculated that the time they spent on in Hawaii, Richard was waiting for Mei to come back.
Kalani had questions when she was a child, but she knows enough now that her mother had better things to do than to sit on an island with a child and a husband who she didn't want to marry. So, asking her about her mother will either get to a surfboard to the head, or she'll simply say she's a miracle of her father's loins--born without a mother. [/blockquote]
...literature*
title... The Little Mermaid
backstory... So, on Miss Fishy's 15th birthday she swims up to the surface, sees a prince and falls in love, right? Well, she gets all curious and wants to be with Mr. Prince but she has to get a human soul, or she's gonna turn to seafoam. So she goes to the seawitch and gets a potion that basically makes having legs an excruciating pain in the fin, and makes her mute as well. Now, Mr. Prince is all for this hot bod, but Miss Fish gets horrible friendzoned, because Mr. Prince is in love with the girl from the temple--human princess bitch.
Miss Fish's sisters lop their hair off and give Miss Fish a knife to kill the prince so she can turn back into a mermaid. But Miss Fish isn't an idiot, and flings herself back into the ocean because she ain't no murderin' barracuda. Instead, she turns into an air spirit of sorts, and has to do a bunch of good deeds so she can go to Heaven.
Yep. That's how it went. Disney, you had one job.
