Ikata Ewira: Giantess General
Airagaru'u (Princess) Ikatanguka Eleria Toyira Weluka Ewira, III (a.k.a. Ikata)
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Ikatanguka was born in the traditional summer home of the Wlitowan royal family near the town of Tereta. She was the third child of her household, and her father was concerned that too many heirs would fracture the long-standing dynasty. As a result, she remained in Tereta for most of her childhood. She wanted for nothing and knew of her lineage, but she was never allowed to speak with members outside the royal family out of fear that she might gain political influence.
Two events would force Ikata to move to Wlitowa. The firstborn led a convoy to Tereta to assess the royal holdings there. On the way, the convoy was ambushed, and the firstborn was killed. If the road to Tereta was vulnerable, so then was everything the king held in Tereta. The king wanted to keep his assets closer to home, and his foremost assets were his children. Ikata was smuggled in the dead of night to Ak'tawo, where she was kept hidden in the royal palace and the surrounding area. She was kept a secret, then, not to prevent her from becoming royalty but that she could become royalty.

Education
In her youth, Ikata was given sparingly little education. Her surroundings were the plains of Wlitowa and their rich diversity of flora. Her nurses would teach her the names of the plants, and she would dissect them to obtain new information. She would continue this fascination even through her time holed up in Ak'tawo to old age.
In Ak'tawo, however, she needed to learn the finer points of royalty. She was taught only the finer points of royalty, though; even the king outsourced most aspects of management to the Ministry of Law. She learned to paint and to sing, and she learned the martial arts of the sword and the spear. Her less formal education came when she hosted the one who would later become her husband, the crown prince of Keyrit. In secret, he taught her macroeconomics, philosophy, and the practical components of leadership. Even still, no source provided Ikata with knowledge of the common Wlitowan or her people's specific needs.

Employment
Ikata was declared to be royal blood just before her marriage to the Keyrit crown prince, and she was given honorary command of the Ak'tawo garrison just before the Battle After Marriage. The resounding victory of the allies further legitimized her claim, and she worked with her brother in raising troops and establishing supply lines, using the knowledge provided to her by her husband. It was during this experience that she enhanced her education, finally realizing Wlitowan life and the complexities of administration, which was a rare thing for Wlitowan nobility to be taught.
The lump sum of her work culminated when Ikata led a large invasion force into Tuhra, reinforcing the Keyrit army that was already there. Keyrit had just suffered its greatest loss in the war, and her reinforcements ensured victory for the conquest of Tuhra. Ikata signed the Doyog Pact, uniting Keyrit and Wlitowa in a centuries-long alliance that would last for the rest of Wlitowa's lifetime, outlasting even the monarchy.

Accomplishments & Achievements
She returned to her nation, helping her brother rebuild Wlitowa after the war. After her father died and her brother ascended to the throne, Ikata and her procession moved to Keyrit to be with her husband. The two had five children, all of whom made it to adulthood. In her leisure, she continued to study plants, now with the great academies and manufactories of Keyrit to help guide her. She made several notable achievements with regards to grengu and tuergo reproduction, and she was an attentive student and pioneer at the dawn of the study of plant genetics.
