#nanui tidbits

Nanuis spirit sibling is an older female Tulkun named A'nawei. They met when he was still a teen and she had already birthed her first calf.

Nanui wasn't expecting to find his spirit sibling and was playing with the baby when the tulkun returned and was led to A'nawei who bonded very quickly with Nanui's gentle heart and excitable nature.

They have a hilarious relationship that alternates between her mothering and scolding him or gossiping like raunchy book club members. Nanui has all the tulkun tea and he thinks it's so interesting even if he really doesn't do anything with it.

This man lives to create. He's a craftsman and weaver for a reason. Color coordination, design freedom, new weaving techniques.

He has such a passion for his art. To be friends with nanui is to get constant knick knacks and jewelry. From intricately woven hair pieces to dainty braided bracelets and mats and beaded curtains for decorating your home.

This passion runs deep. Gotta be careful with him around woven pathways and structures though. If he sees something coming unraveled or falling out he will stop whatever he is doing to go fix it. He takes pride in his work.

The quickest way to his heart is crafting materials. Pearls, shells ,uniquely colored stones, teeth of interesting animals, spines of colorful fish, etc.

His favorite shells are Skuka shells and he loves starbeak fins for the colors.

Nanui was a very quiet and shy child. Being raised within the Metkayina, he had a sign language to default to instead of speaking that his clan could understand so he spent most of his childhood selectively mute.

It wasnt until his parents passed in his late teens that he actually started actively speaking, trying his best to be as much help as he possibly could to his auntie and sister whom he lived with afterward. He had to ask a lot of questions to understand what was needed of him.

Soon also developing into goofing off and positive affirmations he knew his sister needed to hear as she did her best to be the adult of the two of them being 7 years older than him.
