Character description

Nalani is the fisherwoman of Seven Mile Bottom, a steady presence by the water’s edge. She reads the currents with quiet care and waits for the right moment to draw in her catch.

Her caution steadies her at 2 in bravery, giving her the strength to step carefully and avoid needless risks. But when it comes to confidence, she falls too far into doubt (1). Nalani second-guesses herself, sometimes freezing when action is needed. This hesitation makes her reliant on reassurance, even when her instincts are sound.

Her kindness leans strong (4). She comforts with patience, encourages without pressure, and helps others feel safe in their choices. This warmth anchors her relationships, though it can make her reluctant to challenge others when firmness is required.

Elsewhere she sits in balance. She waits without dragging her feet (3 in patience). She holds to her independence without breaking from community (3). She is curious enough to learn but not distracted (3 in inquisitiveness). Practical enough for daily life (3). Neither overly serious nor overly playful (3). Honest but never indiscreet (3 in openness). Respectful of rules without being rigid (3).

Nalani’s strength is her compassion and her careful step, but her doubt can stall her. She is the fisherwoman who steadies the nets of Seven Mile Bottom, even when her own hands sometimes hesitate to pull.
