the clan is called Tsawkpayìva, the “jungle island clan,”

their name is based of the Na’vi word for sun, “tsawk”

they are located on the tropical island, Kiey’an, which is at the edge of a series of islands in Pandora’s oceans, each one housing its own clan and culture

similar to the Aranahe, they are well-known for their dyes, specializing in colorful fabrics and pottery

they are often adorned with jewelry made of golden bark, a cultural staple of their people and arts

similar to the Metkayina, tattoos made of plant and charcoal document the wearer’s life and status, with the location and design holding its own meaning (such as one coming from the mouth representing a strong voice)

to combat the heat of the islands, they will typically wear loose, flowy fabrics paired with a wide-brimmed sun hat

they rely on their farms for nourishment, building their villages around fields of grain

their homes are canopy-like structures built around the trunks of large palm trees, using their leaves for shade while remaining fairly close to the ground

physically, they are built a bit shorter and stockier than the Omatikaya— with shorter, thicker tails and lighter blue skin (a halfway point between the the Omatikaya and Metkayina)

so while looking for some “soldier coming home from war” concepts to do a clone wars anidala for, i came across this beautiful piece (of which i flipped for comp reasons), and idk i just. i think she deserves to hold her son one more time. reading the padmé books and coming across the section from the pov of shmi lowkey broke me

idk if this is clear but the idea behind this is mainly that padmé ripped out her own wings to give to him (as he called her an “angel” when they first met). and he, indulging in his love for her, took them. though, padmé could only watch as they slowly fell apart the further he drifted from her (given he is often described as the “fallen angel” character). until, eventually, the wings were gone, killing her along with it
