History
Gulana was born and raised on Soliairs' ship, the Temple of the Crane, and has spent her entire life under Soliairs' care. Wanting for nothing, Gulana was heavily spoiled by her parent, and follows in Soliairs' footsteps as a brutally efficient pirate and master fire mana.
Nicknames & Petnames
Gully, Sol
History
Yung was not around often during Gulana's childhood, but the occasions where they were Gulana remembers fondly. Always on visiting, Yung had given his daughter many gifts and kind words, making his love of her known, despite not being an active part of her life growing up. This remains much the same today, now with Gulana as a young adult, they often do not see one another and it is often only at holidays or major events outside of divine matters, but they still think of one another fondly.
History
Heritai and Gulana are fraternal twins, and grew up together on Soliairs' temple. They have always been close, with Gulana often taking the lead and her brother to follow. Their childhood was spent together, as one another's best friends, but in time, have grown apart. Due to Heritai choosing to become Yung's heir, they haven't had as much time together and in fact, rarely see one another outside of Yung and Soliairs' meetings that often leave little room for family time, instead being dominated by the politics of the gods.
Nicknames & Petnames
Lulu/Lana, Tai/Heri
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Both have a love of the ocean just as strong as Soliairs', and as much as they could when they were younger would swim and explore any reef they could find.
History
These two met when Namen was taken in by Soliairs, Gulana's parent, when he was 16 and placed under their protection. Not a true child of Soliairs, Namen had distanced himself from being considered one or being considered fully adopted by the crane, like Rose had been. Like teenagers often do, Gulana and Namen were quick to pursue one another and began to date, if joining one another in raids and battles could be called that. Although Gulana never wanted to be Soliairs' heir, Namen had been quick to jump on the chance after he proved himself with his tenacity and cunning, with Gulana being supportive of him and frequently cracking jokes that their legacy will be a 'long line of Crane Goddesses'.
Nicknames & Petnames
Gully is a favorite pet name of Namen's for Gulana, while she often calls him Pokey, due to his spines. Gulana also gave Namen the nickname 'Ramen Noodle', which is used by much of the crew to refer to him.
Relationship Reasoning
They were both teenagers, with limited options for each to find romantic partners within Soliairs' fleet, so it seemed natural for both to be drawn together. Their similar personalities and both having a love of fighting only forged their fledgling romance further into a near unbreakable bond- Rarely is one seen without the other nearby these days. Soliairs often hassles the pair on when they will finally 'get it over with and get married already', as 'everyone knows they will'. Neither has actually decided if or when this will happen, however. Gulana often has made jokes to counter Soliairs' pestering, that they and Ben never did, so there's no reason they need to either. Namen in turn also makes jokes of his own that if they were to actually get married, he'd be expected to invite his birth family, which would be 'terrible, absolutely terrible for fucking everyone'.
Legal Status
Unmarried, although that is likely to soon change
