Queen Tapu'awa
Reigning Queen of the Pelagos Tapu'awa
While the High Guards were rather imposing but their size and rugged shell covering their limbs, it was rather mundane compared to the grandeur of their Queen. Towering the coral-crafted halls of the underwater temple of Waharoa, she also felt like something more: contrary to her kin, she had a more developped beak that could break bones and long appendices protuding on the back of her head. But she didn't looked like an abomination, and more like a curious and impressive testament of marine evolution with colors that would outshine the brightest couture of the east.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Being the largest and tallest Pelagos, Tapu'awa movement and water traveling demands more energy and thus is usually less lithe and fast than most of her kin. She has a rather large endomorphic body like her high guards.
Physical quirks
Tapu'awa has a mutant/evolved jaw, having more teeth on the top and bottom. This abnormal dentition made her a notable candidate for queenship because it was seen as an opportunity for future Pelagos generation to have more versatile jaws in order to survive.

Tapu'awa's attire is made of large shipwreck equipement, such as linen flags as a makeshift robe and boat wheels as ornaments for her back.

Mental Trauma
Tapu'awa has a rather strong fear of failure. Under recommendations of her captain, she agreed on some scoutings that went bad. Because of the casualties, she feels responsible to have agreed on such actions, and thus now second guess a lot of decisions that implies a risk, for good or ill.
Morality & Philosophy
Tapu'awa is rather conservative and traditionalist: As the main decision maker of the blooming race, she rather double-check and be weary of expanding the territory, preferring to solidify their acquired lands and continue on keeping their scope small, focusing on understanding their surrounding enough and learn from it.
Because of this, she have regular disagreements with her captain of the guard, Taarua as he prefers a more expansive approach, for reasons he also believes goes for the greater good. Despite their differences, she respect him nonetheless.
