Now this is more like it. The original look wasn't doing it for me so0 I decided to do a printed skirt. I changed the color of her colors to red to better stand out from her skin. I also gave her a weapon that is called a "taiaha", a 5-6 ft long staff weapon that can be used like a spear. I experimented with her eyes to make them more ethic-looking, but I may change it again. I took the liberty of making a short bio for her explaining the character a bit. Well, back to Masozi! I miss ya babe!

Talisua Tapaia

Hgt: 5’9”
Wgt: 112 lbs
Nationality: Tahiti

Born into a tribal family in the thickest jungle of the island nation of Tahiti, Talisua was entered into the lifestyle of a warrior from a very young age. Her family, the Tapaia clan, were once part of a network of clans that worked together to protect each other and keep the old ways alive. However, Talisua’s clan was forced to retreat into the jungles of Tahiti long before Talisua was born over an undisclosed reason. Cut off from the weapons and recourses that they were used to, the Tapaia developed a new style of martial arts that took advantage of the island’s thick tropical foliage, high trees, and warm waters. Despite being female, which normally would except her from war duties in other clans, Talisua was trained in the new style just as the men of her clan were.

The new style that the Tapaia clan practices is an composite of many different styles. The style, called Even Flow in Tahitian language, focuses on what works for the individual practitioner depending on the situation at hand. Even Flow doesn’t use a system of katas or rigid drills. The style itself is more of a mantra of the Tapaia clan’s belief in that one shouldn’t pigeonhole themselves into a set discipline, so each Tapaia warrior has their own unique fighting style. Talisua’s style involves using every part of her limbs and head, quick strikes and using the environment to her advantage.

One of the few things that the Tapaia took with them was the ability to bend the elements to their whim via spells and tailsmans. Although none of the Tapaia process the skills to manipulate the forces of nature as effectively as their brethren, a few of the arts survived the exodus from their homeland. Most of the arts that the Tapaia uses are on a personal level, only able to aid the user or harm several foes at a time. A far cry from their counterparts, whom are able to utilize the elements to devastating effect.

Talisua herself is trained in two elemental forces; fire and wind. She has very limited knowledge of water and practically none when it comes to the others. Talisua mostly used her forces to propel herself during combat or travel via creating miniature whirlwinds on her feet.
