Nani Kalani  // 21 // 9th year // Thunderbird  // No-Maj Born

Numerancy specialization  

Shay Mitchell

Nani and Lilo grey up in Hawaii with two very loving and supportive parents. Life was great for them; but suddenly, without a lot of reason, their parents were killed when Nani was just eighteen years old. Nani was devastated, but she couldn’t fall apart; she had a little sister that she needed to be there for, so she quickly pulled herself together for her twelve year old sister and prepared to leave Ilvermorny to be there for her. Luckily she didn’t have to, and her sister was accepted into her school. Their problems weren’t solved however. She had to secure an income for them, which meant that all her free time had to go to a job.

Nani was luckily able to get a job as a waitress in Greylock’s landing. She waits tables and collects tips, and puts it all into hers and Lilo’s livelihood and education. Everyone sees Nani as a really dependable girl, a very smart and strong one at that, but she has a secret, one that she won’t tell anyone. Nani has never processed the grief of her parents passing. Instead, she’s kept busy and avoided thinking about it. She isn’t sure how she can keep up this charade when, deep down, she’s hurting. She wants someone to be there for her, but she doesn’t want to burden her sister, who is going through enough as it is.

Healing Specialization

FC: Keahu Kahuanui 

As a young boy, David Kawena knew he was special. He was born on the island of Hawaii to a family of traditional Hawaiian Dance Performers. He learned that he didn't need a flame to ignite the sticks used in his favorite performance. He was able to do it all on his own with just a touch and a thought. He kept the trick he could to to himself until a letter came via a nene and he was invited to study magic at a Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizards.

Due to David’s talent for pyromagic, he learned quickly that he would also need to be versed in at least the basics of magical healing. Little did he know, he'd be good at it. Actually, everyone was surprised because David wasn't very good at anything else.

David is getting closer and closer to finishing school. He'll be able to go on and become something more than the dim island guy. He has the opportunity to become a healer. The problem lies in his family ties. His parents need him to return and perform with them since he was so adept (barring setting any roofs on fire) in the traditional dances. David loves his culture and his people but does he give up a potential future helping and saving lives in order to perform with his family?

Positive Traits: Helpful, Kind-hearted, and Thoughtful
