}Personality
Resourceful Efficiency
When push comes to shove, Lolo is extremely resourceful. She’s scrappy and willing to do whatever it takes to survive. She hates to waste anything as a result, whether it be food or paper or anything that could remotely be useful. She hoards potentially useful objects, but categorizes them neatly and will force herself to eat every single leftover.
Courageous and Curious
In the face of danger, Lolo doesn’t flinch. Even if a place or person is potentially dangerous, she always approaches the situation with caution and tempered curiosity. She wants to know everything that she can about the world outside of Kik-Kik Island and its waters. As dangerous as it can be, it’s full of adventure too!
Independent Intelligent
Having to fend for herself for much of her life meant that Lolo was always fiercely independent. She studied in various disciplines. Martial arts, navigation, survival, insect taming. She had a fierce hunger for knowledge that only further fueled her independence.
Dutiful Daughter
Despite her father having pushed her into an unfair role, Lolo has always felt that it was her duty to fulfill his wishes to the best of her ability. She feels the same sense of duty to her family and little sisters. She must bear the weight of her family’s expectations so that they do not have to.
Lively Lady
Given her hard life, it would be easy to assume that Lolo is a fairly no nonsense individual, but she’s actually quite the opposite. She’s lively and excitable, happy to see new places and learn new things. She especially loves to see new bugs, but new people are pretty exciting and fun too.

Appearance
Lolo was born with the dark skin typical of her people. However, her Fishman heritage is pronounced by white lighter markings akin to a Lionfish’s markings covering her entire body. To make herself appear more human, she dyes them to match her skin tone. Her eyes are a shocking bright blue in contrast to her skin. Her natural hair color is a dark pink that fades into a brighter pink at the ends. She bleaches and dyes her hair to take on a more silvery pink color, denoting high status in Kik-Kik society. She has two antenna-like growths that sprout from her head. She keeps them tied up in her hair. Her long hair is tied up in a traditional male hairstyle for Kik-Kik.
Since she was little, her father decided to make her dress and act like a boy. He presented her as Lele, her dead identical twin, and so she had to live the lie. As much, she wears the typical garb of the men of her tribe, wrapping her breasts to hide them. The traditional garb of Kik-Kik resembles Polyponesian clothing. In private, she likes to wear women's clothing. She wraps the spines on her arms, legs, and spine with bandages.

}Traits
Amphibious
Half-Blood Starting Trait #1
Being a half-blood, Lolo has gills and lungs that enable her to breathe on land and in the water. She also has adaptations that enable her to perform normal movements in the crushing depths as well as allowing her to swim faster than most races underwater.
Lion’s Strength
Half-Blood Starting Trait #2
Lolo has always had strength far surpassing the norm for ordinary people. She can perform great feats of strength like lifting incredible weights or halting a charging giant beetle. She has athleticism in spades and can even jump so far that it appears that she’s flying.
Jungle Gymnastics
Half-Blood Starting Trait #3
Growing up in the dense jungles of Kik-Kik Island, Lolo has learned how to get around. She’s extraordinarily acrobatic and fast, much more so than the average person. She’s hard to hit while she’s moving and that has saved her life more than once.
Lionfish Physiology
Half-Blood Starting Trait #4
Lolo has spines along her arms, legs, and spine that secrete a mild venom that causes pain and general weakness. These spins are sharp. Her Lionfish heritage also allows her to eat three times her body weight. On the other extreme, Lolo can survive without food for up to three months. Her body is adaptable and hardy in most environments.
Tasty Treat
Optional Negative Trait #1
For some reason, Lolo smells delicious to basically everyone and everything. She gives off a subtle sweet scent that attracts animals from all around and increases appetite. Unfortunately for her, this usually means that the animals that she attracts are looking for a tasty treat and has been the cause of much pain and heartache.

Fighting Styles
Name: Taiopenga Ahi ”Firefly Festival”
Focus: Insects, Martial Arts
Class: E
Description:
A combination of her island’s martial art and her own unique way with Kik bugs, Lolo opts for destructive blows meant to break bone, throws, joint locks, pressure point manipulation and strikes to deal with her opponents. Her Kik bugs expand her offensive and defensive repertoire and coordinate with her in attacking an opponent in an all out assault from all sides.

Techniques
Name: Hama Pua ”Hammerhead Orchid”
Fighting Style: Taiopenga Ahi
Rank: 1
Description:
One of Lolo’s Kik bugs latches onto her forearms, their blunt hard head extending beyond her fist. Their body acts as a glove while their specially hardened exoskeleton serves as both protection and a weapon. Lolo unleashes a vicious flurry of blows to an opponent, which hits much harder than ordinary punches.
Name: Rengarenga Hoari ”Sword Lily”
Fighting Style: Taiopenga Ahi
Rank: 1
Description:
One of Lolo’s Kik bugs latches onto her forearms. This Kik bug has specially adapted serrated mandibles that are razor sharp and a pointed horn that extends past her fist. Lolo uses this bug to rip and tear apart her enemies, slashing them to ribbons with devastating force.
Name: Rere Pepeke ”Flutter Fly”
Fighting Style: Taiopenga Ahi
Rank: 2
Description:
By kicking her leg as rapidly as a Kik bug flaps its wings, Lolo is able to kick off the very air so long as her stamina holds out. She can propel herself in different directions to better position herself, evade, or attack. This technique can be hindered substantially by weighing Lolo down or binding her legs.

Equipment
Name: Eternal Pose (Kik-Kik Island)
Description:
This Eternal Pose perpetually points toward Kik-Kik Island. It was given to Lolo by her father when she took over the family business and began navigating and escorting merchants from Kik-Kik to the Blues. She always keeps it on her person.

Background
}Lolo was born into a family with lots and lots of sisters. She had one older sister when she was little, but her father took her away. She and her identical twin Lele were the eldest of their particular familial group. Lele was forced to pretend to be a boy so that he could be the sole heir and become the new head of the family after her father stepped down. They were a family of Kik-Kik bug breeders, which afforded them a decent caste in the society of Kik-Kik Island.
Both Lolo and Lele were born with a unique quirk in that they both smelled very sweet and delicious. This was initially thought to be a good thing for the two of them as Kik-Kik bugs flocked to them and were very social with the two of them. That is, until one unfortunate day when Lolo and Lele went out into the jungle with their father. It was supposed to be a fun day. They’d learn how to hunt. It was not to be. Their sweet scent attracted several animals from all over the island.
The animals attacked Lele first, and then went after her. Her father managed to fend them off and grabbed the both of them. When they stopped at a small camp to catch their breath, Lele was already gone. Lolo broke down, crying and sobbing, feeling like a part of her had gone missing. She didn’t know how much time had passed before feeling something being tossed at her. Lele’s clothes.
Her father ordered her to change and told her that she was going to have to carry on in Lele’s place. He took her clothes once she was done changing and put them on Lele’s body. He explained that it was for her sake and the sake of the family. She had to pretend to be Lele or else they’d lose everything. Scared and sad, Lolo agreed to it.
When they got back, her father broke the news that she had died and presented Lele’s body. Her mother held her tightly. Their family mourned, but Lolo didn’t have any time for that. Her father took her out every day and trained her with weapons, in martial arts and survival skills. She read every bit of literature that she could get her hands on. She had to live. For both herself and for Lele.
When she came of age, Lolo took to the seas and learned the art of navigation on their merchant ships. When pirates were chasing them down and threatening to board, Lolo swung across to the pirate ship to close the distance and slice through their sails. She tried to swim back to the merchant ship, but not before she was shot up by their guns. The merchant crew fished her out of the sea and escaped into the Calm Belt. For her valor, Lolo was given a tattoo to commemorate her bravery, earning much honor for her family. Her father looked so proud. So why did she feel so unhappy?.
With her newfound abilities, Lolo continued to navigate the Calm Belt, Grand Line, and Blues for merchant ships, protecting them from those who sought to steal their goods. She continued living under Lele’s name when she was at home. But, when she got some time to spend on islands away from home, Lolo felt like she could be herself just a little. It was much less suffocating for some reason.
