HISTORY.

Moana Ka’uhane was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to a pretty well-off family; not quite rich, but it was enough to provide Moana a comfortable life with her parents and paternal grandmother

Because her parents were often working, Moana spent a lot of time with her grandmother, who had a connection with the spirit world. Moana grew up listening to her grandmother’s stories about ghosts, magic, and the supernatural

When Moana was 10 years old, her own spirit power was awakened after the death of her grandmother, and Moana was able to see her ghost. Her grandmother remained in the world to help Moana navigate her new awareness of the supernatural, and guide her with understanding her spirit power

After the end of her 8th grade year, Moana’s father announced that he had accepted a job in Kaisou, and that the family would be moving. Because her grandmother’s ghost was attached to Hawaii, she wouldn’t be able to stay with Moana, and so decided to finally move on, much to Moana’s dismay

In the summer of that year, Moana and her family moved to Kaisou, and though Moana was upset at having to leave Hawaii, she was intrigued by the spiritual presence she felt in Kaisou

Moana began her freshman year at Kaisou Public High School, much to her father’s consternation. And while the first few months of her first year were a bit rough and awkward, being new and not knowing anyone, she grew to be more comfortable with her new setting and making some new friends, which was helped as she joined the swim team

As more strange things began happening in the city, Moana began to try investigating the supernatural happenings in the city herself

ABILITIES.

Spiritual Awareness

Having learned of the supernatural from her grandmother, Moana has learned of the presence of magic, and can detect and speak with ghosts

Flexibility

Is extremely flexible

Water Manipulation

Very high level water manipulation (boosted due to her Mo'o curse). Moana is also able to conjure a pool amount of water and create enough fog to cover a building

Weather Manipulation

Able to control weather in her immediate vicinity, thanks to her Mo'o curse. While she can also manipulate the weather in her human form, this ability is stronger when in her Mo'o form

Moon Boost

Receives a massive power boost when the moon is out

Shapeshifting

Due to her curse, she is able to change into a Mo'o form, which can reach a maximum of 12ft. When she gets emotional, it becomes more difficult to control. Currently she has a dragon-like tail that appears more easily and is more difficult to hide than any other part of her transformation

Healing

Able to heal severe injuries on herself or other people

ARCUS II

Active

Essentially a magic cellphone. While shaped like a large flip phone, it works as a fully functional smart phone and can connect to the Libra App. At the bottom of the phone, Moana will find a blue glowing quartz. This is what powers the phone (no charging necessary!), and as long as Moana has the ARCUS with her, she can do the following:

- Have random gemstones of varying value appears when she uses a magic spell
- Summon a basketball worth of water that can be thrown
- Cure ailments (poisons, burns, frostbite) so long as it's not blocked by plot with water. Does not apply to curses
- Cure moderate injuries with water

This quartz, called Kaleido, is considered Water-element, so it'll apply to the same strength/weaknesses as kaisou-based water attacks. That said, casting these spells do cause a drain on Moana's energy, so she'll have to work on her stamina.

The other quartz slots and abilities on Moana's ARCUS are currently sealed, but may be opened up at a later day with regain points. Also the cover of Moana's ARCUS will be blank but can be customized to her liking.

CURSE.

At the start of June 2022, Moana discovered that she had suddenly been cursed to shift into a Mo'o. In her Mo'o form, she can reach up to 12ft long (though she can also take a smaller form), and she has a stronger manipulation over water as well as a limited manipulation over the weather. However, she has no control over cold weather, like snow and ice, and has to take extra precaution to stay warm as she is more susceptible to cold weather.
