OOC NOTES
my name is Hannah (she/her), I'm 25+, and in the CST(GMT-5) time zone.
"parul ite (parul'ite?)" is probably bad grammar from what (little) i understand of the language (more rightly it would be parulnga'ite i think) but i liked the way it looks/sounds
i have more than one blog and no idea what my activity is going to be like; i do know that i'm typically a fairly slow but very enthusiastic writer!
i am very relaxed in terms of rules. ultimately I just want the ability to communicate with my partners, so we can talk if we ever need to and set boundaries.
i am duplicate friendly! i probably won't follow you first unless i see a similar note on your blog, just out of respect and not wanting to crowd anyone, but if you want to come chill and love on kiri with me, please do!
james cameron has said and done some really ignorant things about and with his work. i am not an indigenous or maori person, so i cannot and will not speak to the matter of the movie as analogous representation. i can only do my best to read, to learn, and to be respectful, and that is my aim. i love this world and these characters, and that love is all i mean to put forward with this blog.
IC NOTES
kiri is well-versed in healing arts (mostly physical, learning spiritual) and is regarded as a healer by the omatikaya/high camp group. if it weren't a time of war, she might still be in training, but the needs and demands are different, and her experiences more intense than a typical still-training healer, so she's given respect in that regard.
she has a natural draw & bond to the flora & fauna of pandora; she is often able to communicate with them in ways others cannot, before making tsaheylu.
she is not a warrior or hunter, but is bonded to an ikran, and has been since she was very young.
i'm not really using the comics, but at the same time i'm also stealing little bits and pieces from them. inspo but not firm follow.
i am.... verrrry reluctant to view spider & kiri's dynamic as romantic in nature. i can see merit in that as what happens but also i think it needs way more work than i feel like the movie did (or is going to, going forward) put into it. i default to it being a close friendship, and developments beyond that is like, completely up in the air idk. it won't be my starting assumption.
