Tonaja and Nahrees from Inhumans

[sofiamantegafan110]

Recently, I've been rereading the Young Inhumans series, and I realized that this would make the perfect TV drama. Honestly, Marvel missed a HUGE gold mine here.

Seriously, Marvel, make this a thing.

Inhuman of The Day

November 19th - Tonaja

A member of the younger generation of the Inhumans of Old Attilan.  During her preadolescence, Tonaja had been a happy and well-liked youngster; a natural leader among her peers and best friends with a girl named Kalikya.  Tonaja was very apprehensive toward the prospect of Terrigenesis.  She did not want her life to change and was anxious about how the Terrigen Mists might transform her.  Tonaja’s fears were eased by her grandmother who comforted her on the eve before the ceremony in which she would enter into the chamber of Terrigenesis.  

Expose to the mists bestowed Tonaja highly fortunate powers.  She was changed into a beautiful woman with green skin, long tendril like hair and a pair of bat-like wings enabling her extended flight.  Being a ‘flyer’ was viewed as a great blessing in the cultural traditions of old Attilan and Tonaja was hugely proud of her gifts as well as the fact that, as a flyer, she would most likely be tracked into the prestigious role of Royal Guardsman.  

Tonaja’s friend, Kalikya, was apparently not so fortunate and it seemed as though Terrigenesis had not bestowed her with especially useful gifts.  Tonaja was too eager to start her new life and she coldly snubbed Kalikya, essentially telling her that their friendship was over and that she no longer had time to fraternize with ‘lessor’ Inhumans.

Tonaja trained with Gorgon and a number of the other more powerfully enhanced Inhuman youths in order to eventually join the Royal Guard.  Some time later, during the siege of Attilan by a human military force, many Inhumans lost their lives and Tonaja and the younger members of the guard were caught ill prepared.  

During this battle, Tonaja’s former friend, Kalikya, acted with great valor, rescuing a number of injured Inhumans.  Although Kaliya’s special powers were not initially evident, it turned out that she possesses the ability to heal severe wounds by merely placing her hands on a patient.  Being a healer was viewed as even more prestigious than being a flyer on old Attilan and Kalikya was greatly lauded for her actions during the siege. 

Afterward, Tonaja approached Kalikya, asking if the two might rekindle their former friendship.  Still hurt by the way in which Tonaja had previously turned her back on her, Kalikya declined, effectively stating that it would be best if the two remained colleagues but never again good friends.

Sometime thereafter, Tonaja entered into a romantic relationship with her fellow Inhuman, Dewoz.  The two had been friends when they were younger and Tonaja was aghast when it appeared as though Terrigenesis had transformed Dewoz into the form of an Alpha Primitive.  All of this was actually an elaborate ruse orchestrated by Maximus and Dewoz was ultimately able to reclaim his true Inhuman form, that of a tall, purple-skinned being who can teleport through reflective surfaces.  Maximus’ tinkering notwithstanding, Dewoz still felt a great deal of alienation from his peers due to his possessing features and mannerisms similar to that of The Alpha Primitives.  Tonanja worked through her own prejudices in coming to terms with her love for Dewoz and his love for her. 

Following her training with the Royal Guard, Tonaja was selected to take part in an emissary/student-exchange program meant to augment relations between Attilan and the United States.  Tonaja assumed a leadership role within the group of emissaries and she appeared to enjoy her time on earth.  The emissaries were eventually recalled back to Attilan and the program itself was deemed something of a failure.  

Tonaja went on to serve in Royal Security Force.  Following the taking of Attilan by Ronan The Accuser and his Kree Army, Tonaja stood with a group of Inhumans who stated that they had lost faith in King Black Bolt and his Royal Family.  The Royal Family was temporarily banished from Old Attilan while the rest of the Inhumans went in search of their own destiny among the stars.  This turn of events did not last long and soon The Royal Family once again earned rulership over Attilan.  

This was the most recent that we have seen of Tonaja and her current status and whereabout remain unknown.
