`A`ohe loa i ka hana a ke aloha
this request is for the current ruling prince of hawai'i, kalea's uncle. i will start off with that the face does need to be hawaiian, and because of that i am requesting jason momoa as the face of the uncle.
now all of that said... uncle here took kalea in after the tragic death of her parents (including his own younger sister) when she was very young after she survived despite all odds. he is the epitome of what makes hawai'i great - he is calm, he is loving, he is chill beyond reason, and he is a fierce protector of his people and his land. honestly, he's the best not-dad in the world. and he has done everything he could to raise kalea with love and light and ferocity and he has succeeded.
he has far more chill than kalea does, and she respects him more than anything despite the fact they often butt heads. he has been in his position for the entirety of his life, the eldest child of a eldest child, and he is not jaded or optimistic the way kalea can be. he lost his naivety a long while ago, and he knows that the "respect" they are given is minimal and that the acknowledgement and apology they once received was to save face and not of any true value of who they are. he is trying to save kalea that realization, to direct her in the political world they must live in with care and compassion... and she's not really seeing the point just yet.
from there, i'm still solidifying some aspects of this based on some lore questions i'm posing to staff but !! please bring me this amazing man, thank you !!
