PRSNALITY 

+ bubbly, easygoing, friendly, outgoing
- talkative, annoying at times, loud, superficial
 

▾ lani is a bubbly character, and your typical beach babe. sure she's blond, and maybe a little ditzy, but that doesn't mean she's stupid. lani understands emotions and is a good listener, most of the time. she also has a tendency to talk a looooot, in her slightly accented korean, but it's a part of her charm. leilani is definitely someone different and she revels in the fact that she is. she's also that girl in the women's bathroom that'll tell you how good you look in those shorts, and those are all part of her homoual tendencies and she also has a habit of developing a new girl crush every three days.

she can be a bit annoying, but she's honestly very well meaning. her sister raised her to be a caring person, and she can't help but be nosy if you look upset or unwell. she's definitely childish and a little immature, and probably will take a lot of explaining to really get that something is serious, but that will be a part of her growth as a character. she's definitely a friendly person, although she went through a rough depressive patch as a younger child when she first moved to donghwa. depression is something she struggles with, but her bubbly nature is her continuous attempt to bring happiness to others in order to be happy herself.

leilani is an extrovert, and feeds off being around people. she hates being alone, and she hates the dark. even texting someone late at night keeps her feeling okay, and she'll often be the one who falls asleep while talking to someone, but it's something she needs in order to prevent falling into a depressive episode. they say that the people that smile the most are hurting the most on the inside, but lani's smile is her stride towards happiness. like said before, she feeds off of making other people happy, and is a real people pleaser. 

this girl does not need a loudspeaker, her voice is loud enough and she can get a whole crowd's attention with one loud, "HEY GUYS!" it's not always a good thing, because she had trouble toning down her volume and constant enthusiasm, which again, can get annoying, but she means well...

one more thing. lani loves looking cute, and will never leave her home without some makeup on her face. she needs to look cute 24/7, and is superficial in that way. she always encourages how other people look, but is critical of how she looks herself, and in that way, she is superficial and also has a bad habit of being late to events, but hey, a girl's gotta look good!

 

▾ twenty years ago, a storm hit the coast of oahu. thunder, lightning hit the beaches for days, but bright sunshine came after the storm, and with it, a baby in a basket. in that basket was leilani. she was found by her adoptive sister, who was 19 at the time, her kaikua'ana, or kaikai for her. her sister was an orphan, who upon finding this gift from the sea goddess as the town called her, did not want the same fate for this little child, so she raised leilani (naming her so) as her own younger sister and worked hard as a hula girl and tour guide to raise her and send her to school. leilani's sister grew up on the island, so people knew her well, and by the time lani was 7, people knew her as well. they were family friends with a korean older man, mr. park, a man who had helped trace both sister's asian lineage to korean, but they were still islanders at heart and lived as so.

one day, a woman approached lani's sister while she was working and seemed like she was searching for something. much to melika's horror, this woman was asking about a baby girl she had lost years ago, and her description of the baby's birthmark (a small mole right behind her left ear) was too coincidental to not be leilani. however, as melika did more research on the woman, she found out that lani's birth mother was a bad woman who only wanted her for the money the government would give her to take care of lani, and she did not want lani growing up like she did, with a deadbeat mother who would wither away by the time lani was 13.

thus, lani's sister turned to mr. park for help. he provided them a place to go in korea, a new start for the sisters to keep their family together. melika took lani when she was about 9 years old to south korea, to the small town of donghwa to resettle. her sister always made it a point to be honest, so lani was aware of everything that was happening, and because she had no personal connection to 

sure, lani was different. she spoke differently, had a hard time speaking korean, besides the conversational talk mr. park had taught her, and her skin was darker. her darker skin was a source of lani's insecurity until she met the squad, who helped her feel more confident and not so much as an outsider.

from then on, she was free to be as confident as she once was and she was no longer afraid to express herself as the hawaiian princess she always was. lani is very proud to be different and proud of her heritage, and though she used to hide it when she first came to donghwa, she no longer does. 

conscience: they say that the sea goddess herself delivered leilani to this world, and as a young girl, she often recalled a little pink merfairy when she went swimming, and it became her own little conscience, an angel of sorts to watch over her as the sea goddess did in those stormy days until her sister found her. this little fairy, ponyo, is the daughter of the sea goddess herself, a special friend for leilani as she truly is a child of the sea, to help lead her through her life as a savior

 

RLATNSHPS 

ADOPTIVE PARENT RELATION ▾ melika kawai (39); antique shop owner; calm, responsible, level headed; 10; lani and her kaikai are very close, they're in between mother daughter and sisters, maybe something cute with lani's kaikai singing her a hawaiian lullaby
 

THE #SQUAD ▾ lani was very depressed and subdued for the first couple of months that she was in donghwa, until a few kids from the squad caught her swimming laps like a mermaid in the school pool (??? idk if the school has a pool but they do now) and they were impressed and asked her lots of questions. the lani that had been hidden for so long finally came out, and after that, it was a quick road to friendship from there.

 

▾ lani is an aaaaamaaazing swimmer, as any hawaiian beach babe would be, and she can catch a mean wave
▾ lani also loves dancing, any kind, and anywhere
▾  one thing she is terrible at is school. lani hates math, is bad at science, and really did not do fantastically in school. she passed alright, but has a hard time academically.
▾  as a typical hawaiian musician would, leilani is absolutely amazing as a ukelele player, and she does have a sweet sounding voice
▾ she really borders annoying sometimes, but never knows when to shut up
▾ she dyes her hair blonde a lot, but her roots tend to grow out quickly
▾ in the winter time, when there is limited sunlight, she uses tanning oil, but don't tell nobody, it's a secret
▾ she loves cold beverages, as she is truly hawaiian at heart, and even in the winter time, she will drink iced coffee and bubble tea
▾  she is definitely a foodie, and because she swims, she trims off the fat from her honey thighs, but likes being a little thick
▾  lani really strays from traditional korean beauty standards (shows skin, is tan, and on the thicker side in terms of her thighs), something she really used to be concious of, but now flaunts being different
▾   loves, loves, loves romantic comedies, romantic sad movies, literally anything that's hearwarming and heartbreaking at the same time, she is a er for romance
