Kehlani te Ta'kari.
Also known as the Daughter of Eywa.
Ronal and Tonowari were handed a gift from Eywa herself, Kehlani.
Despite the reasoning being unknown, it is not considered a mystery. Since all of Eywa's movements and signs hold great meaning, you do not question the choice.
Ewya took her time with her. You can tell. Kehlani does not look like the other clan members of Metkayina. She is not teal, she doesn't have thick arms, quite the contrary actually.
Her mother tells her that she resembles the perfect mix of Metkayina and Omatikaya, a slim body which could easily climb and swing through trees. But as well as strong legs that push her through water far.
And the weirdest part, she has 5 fingers.
If anything is a question from Eywa, it's that.
On Kehlani's 10th birthday she was given a gift, a sign. Neatly written in the sand wrote, "Twenty equals love."
It was a secret she kept to herself. Not even her sister knew about it and Tsireya knew everything about her. Kehlani made the decision that until she knew what it meant, it would be a secret.
A secret between Eywa and Kehlani.
And because of her gifts, she was the clan's "most wanted" so to say.
Kehlani was giving people herbs before she even knew how to spell her own name.
Hungry? Go grab Kehlani!
Hurt? Go grab Kehlani!
She takes her privacy very seriously since it is so rare. So as she laid in her bed, she couldn't stop the smile that took over her face. Finally, some peace and quiet-.
A bursting Tsireya comes through the front of her Mauri Pod ruining Kehlani's silence. Great.
"Quick Lani! Newcomers!" Before she even got to blink she was already up being dragged out of her comfortable bed by her younger sister.
"Come on Reya, I have been awake for over 24 hours. I am not in the mood for games." The frustrated sister said, now being dragged out of her Mauri towards the beach.
"Lani this isn't a game! Look!"
Kehlani was expecting the beach to be empty, just another prank the younger sister wanted to pull. So you could imagine her surprise when she saw there was actually Navi standing in the center of the crowd.
Kehlani knew instantly it was the family of Toruk Makto. Leader of the Omatikaya, savior of Pandora. She also recognized Neytiri, the woman who killed some sort of leader of the Sky People.
Yet the boy she didn't know the name of caught her eyes the most. Her eyes scanned up and down the unknown boys figured.
Not even Shakespeare could put into words the way Kehlani felt when she laid eyes on him.
Distracted, she hadn't noticed her mother already starting to speak.
"Come Kehlani." Ronal spoke towards her daughter. Without question, Kehlani made her way closer to the family. With her gifts, she was able to read people clearly. See their true intentions.
The first person being the smaller of the bunch. She crouched down so she was eye level with the young girl.
"Hi there. My name is Kehlani. What is yours?" Kehlani caught the attention of Neteyam. His heart warmed at the sight.
