Senate Leader Napo'o Na'a Po.'ino
Senate Leader Napo'o Na'a Po.'ino
The appointed leader of Alicein, the island nation to the far west of Edda which is the latest country to be formed. The "political" structure of Alicein doesn't lend itself to a strict hierarchy, instead having each clan of people answering to a Clan Leader for guidance or confirmation. But, when Alicein became an officially recognized country, the result of a hard fought battle, Napo'o, who was already the leader of The Open Clan, suggested that the Clan leaders form an official senate, and they voted her as the Senate Leader.
This hasn't given her much more in the way of local benefits, she's just as honored and/or feared as she was before, but this also makes her the liaison with the outside world and their governments.
In the time of conflict for the tribes of Alicein, Napo'o gained a fearsome reputation as a mass killer and manipulator, to the point where she gained the epithet of "Mother Reaper." In the years since, she has attempted to distance herself from the name, but occasionally dips into her reputation for the intimidation.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Napo'o is has had a long life, and does show signs of her elderly age. However, in spite of that, she is still active and maintains a moderate amount of exercise to train herself.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Up until the point she became the leader of The Open Clan, Aliceins clan of misfits and lonely souls, Napo'o Na'a Po.'ino did not exist. At least to the point where no one knows where she came from, or what she did. Over the years, she has explained that her parents used to live in Alicein but departed to Atalanta shortly before she was born. There, they had caught the ire of a xenophobic man who caused their deaths, but not before they were able to send her on a ship with a family friend back to Alicein.
However, their family friend had no intention of getting her back safely, and intended to get a reward from the man, or sell her into slavery. At the mere age of 5, Napo'o took a dagger, hidden in her clothes by her now late mother, and ran it across his throat, marking the first kill for Mother Reaper.
She had lived in hiding by herself for some time, before finding her way to The Open Clan. Her fellow clan members do note her arrival, although she kept to herself more times than not, until she was surprisingly chosen as the successor for the previous leader.
In her time as Clan Leader she fought to make the other clans listen to their requests and needs, sometimes literally and others linguistically, but almost always successful.
Then the Border Wars began.
Originally, the islands of Alicein, despite having formed their own culture and lifestyle, was a mere territory of Agartha, and many of their people were dragged away to join the battle. Then, revolutionaries from the land that would become Boncly allied themselves with those of Alicein, and they revolted against Agartha.
But it was merely an exchange of Masters, and it would take 20 more years for Alicein to seperate from Boncly.
During those years of combat, Napo'o gained her name of Mother Reaper, killing with her own hands, or by manipulating people and events to lead to doom. From outside sources of casualties, she's reported to have personally led to the deaths of over 3,000 combatants.
After the war had ended, the Senate of clan leaders she had formed elected her as their Senate Leader, and she abdicated the position of Open Clan Leader to the next generation.
She has now led Alicein to a new stage of progress and technology by using the ideals and concepts made from other countries, and adapting them to the nature and systems of Alicein, although many view it as too much change too quickly.
Education
Napo'o has not had what many would consider formal education, as Alicein doesn't have a strict education system, something she seeks to change in coming years, but she was always noted to be observant and philosophical, often battling with elders and those who kept the knowledge in arguments from her earliest years as Clan Leader to the modern day.
Accomplishments & Achievements
As Clan Leader of The Open Clan, she strove to make it seen and heard as a valid clan, rather than just where one went when there was no other options, and one could say she has done the same thing for Alicein as a whole during this new stage of worldly interaction.
Failures & Embarrassments
While she has not suffered many notable failures locally, during The Border Wars her first battalion was utterly wiped out by one of the Laputan Dark Cloud Squads, the infamously brutal and powerful soldiers of the nation. It is rumored that this defeat is what drove her to embrace the parts of herself that created Mother Reaper.
