Ehiwu Ami'i
Councillor Ehiwu Ami'i
Councillor Ehiwu Ami’i wears her Islander blues and her Islander skin, but her head is high and her back is straight. Her smile would cut through stone, her swagger would carry her across water. A thousand stares and glares trace her path. But she will do, and has done, anything to get power, to actually have control over her life.
They may watch her. They may hate her. They may plan against her.
But she will always be a step ahead.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
She was born during the Twelve-Year's War, shortly after her parents officially wed. In her early years she was raised by the Island elders, constantly looking forward to her parent's occasional visits. They both fought, but her father was killed in battle. When Ehiwu was five, shortly before the war ended and shortly after her father died, her mother gave birth to a second daughter. The war ended and their mother came home permanently, bitter and angry. Their mother was abusive and an alcoholic, so Ehiwu protected her sister, Siasen Ami'i, and got the brunt of her mother's anger. When Ehiwu was fifteen, she ran away, unable to deal with her mother's abuse any longer. She told Siasen to go to Ehiwu's previous mentor, Oawe. She then travelled and worked odd jobs until she reached Maeluja, where she climbed the political ladder until she became the first Islander Councillor.
Education
She was mentored by local fishermen in the arts of fishing, sailing and ilirok maneuvering. She served under several politicians, watching them, reading their papers, and learning their ways. She had no official education in politics or traditional subjects, she learned by herself.

Social
Family Ties
She has a very complicated relationship with her mother. She always feels as though she is proving herself, but also does not want to think of her mother influencing anything she knows. Ehiwu protected her sister a lot, and tries not to resent Siasen for that, but still is somewhat distant despite the fact that she loves her sister and would do anything for her.
Religious Views
She believes strongly in the Islander deities, Ohakana and Lohai. She believes that they have guided her every step of the way, even if they are cruel. She believes that they hate Mainlanders as much as she does and that she is an instrument for their revenge. However, she believes that they will never help her get what she wants, that they can only support her, not change the things around her.
Social Aptitude
Extremely charismatic when she needs to be, but bad at making real connections with people, usually comes off as arrogant and condescending because she has to portray strength to keep her power, afraid that someone will see through her masks, so she tends to push them away.
Mannerisms
She's always smirking and usually has a smug look on her face or a bone-chilling smile.
Speech
She tends to drawl with her Islander accent. She rarely bothers to listen if she thinks it is not worth her time and tends to interrupt others quite a bit.
Wealth & Financial state
She is not very rich. What little money she has comes from her position as a Councillor and supplicants seeking favors. She spends this money frugally, trying to appear rich while spending as little money as possible. She also spends money for occasional bribes and favors.
