An outgoing and dutiful woman who serves with Sirichai's crew. She's adventurous, straight-talking and short-tempered. Although she isn't related to Kai Namele, she looks remarkably like him, with many assuming at first glance that they're twins. She personally finds the assertion that they look alike irritating and is quick to correct it.

Like Kai, her tresses and wings are made up of tough, spiny foliage, and her crown is a pair of tough cones. They are rounded, colourful and more ornate than his, almost like compact inflorescences. She enjoys weaving and usually wears a skirt made from dry leaves, repurposed after they have been shed by her wings.

She's physically strong and also wields impressive wind and water magic that allows her to summon brief, intense storms, or launch fibrous scales from her own body. Considered the crew's best fighter, she and her lookalike have the responsibility of protecting the vessel, its cargo and of course its other inhabitants from the many dangers of the deep.

Australian paleobotany challenge day 21/30 - Otozamites feistmantelli - A member of the Bennettitales, often mistaken for cycads, but had flower like cones that separates them. Also, a beautiful Otozamites fossil I saw at the Tokyo National Museum of Nature and Science.
