#maikoa

Maikoa is of ancient Hawai’ian descent way back when her ancestors were on Earth. Her family still clings to their old heritage despite being mixed, and she is somewhat short, has very black hair and dark eyes, and is fairly dark-skinned.

Both Maikoa and Lefkarthas live many years after SC2, and there are a few protoss-human towns; her family settled not far from Lefty’s and she knew him almost since she could walk. He took an instant liking and they were inseparable her entire life; he babysat whenever he could, took her on trips, helped her with homework, and taught her bad words.

Mai is telepathic, which was picked up on as she got older. When she was twelve, a recruiter came by to talk to her and she became interested in the Ghost Academy. The problem is, even that many years in the future, though the Academy was not as nefarious and secretive as it had been in the past and didn’t treat their students like test subjects, an unnervingly large number of them always ended up enlisting in the military even though they claimed not to be encouraging such things.

Nerak is very old, and he knew what the Ghost Academy did, and couldn’t let go of it. He basically decided that there was no way he was going to let them screw up another human and went out of his way to “rescue” Mai, who was on her way to the port where she’d be transported to her new school. (Lefty was very sad, but understood that she needed to find her own way; they were not a couple then nor had any care to be seeing as she was still very young.)

He kidnapped her and smuggled her to another planet. Her parents, and Lefkarthas, had no idea where she’d gone. I’m going to fast forward: she managed to find her way back, cue tears, several months later ended up going to the GA for real, and Lefkarthas began his apprenticeship... with Nerak.

Mai did not end up enlisting in the military. She graduated and returned, she and Lefty fell head over heels, and she went to visit Nerak and tell him what a horrible person he was (and is) for kidnapping a twelve year old child and giving her nightmares for the rest of her life. He did not respond correctly. She shot him.

They then ran away and Lefkarthas became a fashion model. She had the training, she she is now his girlfriend-slash-bodyguard. She’s very good at what she does.

They do get intimate, very frequently actually. They have a very active sex life, and an open relationship, and will often go to the club together and seduce the same person.
