THE AVAIKI CLAN |
 | FIRST LINE PARENTS Matahireva Avaiki - Male - 54 - Village chief Poehere Avaiki - Female - 50 - Housewife |
 | RAIHAU MATAHIREVA AVAIKI Male - 27 - Auror (French Ministry) - Family Heir Suggested Playbys: Sonny Bill Williams (Pictured), Will Demp Raihau is the oldest of his generation of Avaikis, and graduated from Beauxbatons. As the next chief of the family, he had a lot of expectations placed on him from a young age, and worked hard to live up to said expectations. After graduating, he went into the French Ministry, working as an auror, with his eye on head of department, and eventually advancing in the French ministry. He is driven, ruthless, and determined. Has an inclination for the darker arts and not shy to rely on them to make things happen. Natural born leader. |
 | HEREITI POEHERE AVAIKI Female - 26 - Alchemist - OPEN Suggested Playbys: Vaimalama Chaves (Pictured), Laura Harrier Hereiti was a studious child, and always felt in competition with her older brother Raihau, which affected their relationship as children, but they are now very close as adults. She is the most studious out of her siblings, preferring order, stability, and certainty. She is now working successfully as an alchemist, and is based in France. Like Raihau, she never shied away from the dark arts, considering it just another branch of pursuing further knowledge. |
 | ORANUI 'ORA' AVAIKI Female - 23 - Hitwoman - OPEN Suggested Playbys: Dinah Jane (Pictured), Parris Goebel Ora grew up the rambunctious, rebellious one in the family. After graduating from Beauxbatons, she didn't jump into anything straight away, and spent a lot of time partying and not taking life seriously, much to the chagrin of her parents. They almost cut her off for her behaviour. Eventually, she pulled her act together, and channeled her reckless, defiant streak into something more productive; that of a hitwoman. |
 | MATEHA RA'IONO AVAIKI Male - 22 - Spiritualist - OPEN Playby: Stan Walker Mateha was always a deep, contemplative person, even as a child. He seemed more in tune to nature and the unknown than others, and it often caused him to feel out of place, like an outsider. He has a talent for divination, as well as dealing with matters of the dead, particularly from a Tahitian lense, and is wise beyond his years. A still soul that is deeply spiritual, meditates often, and rarely loses his cool. Possible empath, prophet, or seer of some kind. |
 | TAINOA PITIAHO AVAIKI Male - 16 - 5th year Hufflepuff -OPEN Suggested Playbys: Alex Aiono (Pictured), James Rolleston Tainoa is an outdoors kid, that enjoys being out on the canoe, hiking, and whatnot. He is more easygoing than other members of his family, and doesn't want to get involved in the family dramas and politics, rather, he wants to enjoy his life, and return back to Tahiti as often as possible. He doesn't need unnecessary embellishments, a simple, honest life is enough for him. He is also significantly younger than his siblings, and as such grew up closer to his cousins than his siblings. Tainoa is easy to get along with, and perhaps more naive and less conniving than other Avaikis. The future probably holds a career such as magizoologist, astronomer or conservationist for Tainoa. |
| SECOND LINE PARENTS Tūrama Avaiki - Male - 45 - Historian Roimata Avaiki - Female - 43 - Philanthropist |
 | ARI'INUI TŪRAMA AVAIKI Male - 25 - Sports Commentator - Taken by Tiare Playby: Jordi Webber Ari'inui is considered the golden child of his siblings. He is the one that seemed to have a perfect life, seemed to have everything together and figured out, up until his wife's passing. He is a friendly guy that likes to go on adventures and make others smile, but since his wife's death, has been struggling to readjust and learn how to live again in this new normal. He still wears his smile and puts on a good show, but sometimes he feels like he's just going through the motions, and he wants to find that spark and joy for living again. |
 | ROMINA 'MINA' AVAIKI Female - 22 - Tahitian Musician/Artist - OPEN Suggested Playbys: Rachel Zegler (Pictured), Whitney Peak Romina 'Mina' Avaiki is the free spirited, dreamy one of the family. She graduated from Beauxbatons and travels around a lot, wherever her work takes her. Sometimes, she will be contracted to work as a musician in Tahitian entertainment groups, both singing and playing instruments, and when not doing that, she likes to make and sell art. Coming from a wealthy family like the Avaikis, she doesn't need to worry about money in pursuit of her passions, and lives in a world of privilege. This perhaps lends her a more naive, spoiled streak. |
 | AITONUI MARAETEFAU AVAIKI Male - 21 - Professional Broom Racer - OPEN Playby: Neymar Junior Aitonui is another free spirit, more rebellious, cocky, and likes to start trouble and get into fights. He was on the verge of getting kicked out of Beauxbatons as a student, so his parents transferred him to Hogwarts for his last two years of school. Aitonui found joy in broom racing and managed to work away at it well enough to begin a career in the sport, though his roughness and bad boy behaviour often lands him in hot water. He is working on reigning it in, lest he wind up in trouble with both the law and/or the family. Enjoys playing with the dark arts and flirting with the wrong side of the law. |
 | POERANI TERETA AVAIKI Female - 17 - 6th year Hufflepuff - OPEN Suggested Playbys: Ella Balinska (Pictured), Tyla Laura Seethal, Rae Rodriguez Poerani is the well behaved, softer one of her siblings. Like Tama, she moved out of home to live with her aunty and uncle in England, and transferred to Hogwarts from Beauxbatons. Given the free spirited, more rebellious natures of her two older siblings, Poerani feels she needs to compensate and prove herself as a good daughter, which is why she is quieter, more reserved, and kinder. The future probably holds something like a healer or author for her, if she isn't just married off straight away to become a housewife. |
 | TAMANUI ARI'ITOA AVAIKI Male - 17 - 6th year Slytherin - Taken by Tiare Playby: Reece King Tama began school at Beauxbatons, but due to rising tensions in his household, moved in with his aunty and uncle and transferred to Hogwarts at the start of his fourth year. Tama likes to think of himself as a cool guy, is flirty, quieter, and is very focused on his appearance. In the future, he will likely either work as a personal trainer, or progress in the world of modeling and fashion. |
| THIRD LINE PARENTS Mana Avaiki - Male - 40 - Foreign Ambassador, British Ministry (Pacific Representative) Terehe Avaiki - Female - 38 - Tahitian dancer/dance teacher |
 | IHI HEINUI AVAIKI Female - 15 - 5th year Slytherin - OPEN Suggested playbys: Clara Wilsey (pictured), Kelly Gale, Fiona Barron Ihi has a colder, 'ice princess' personality. She takes both her studies and image very seriously, and isn't afraid to dabble in the more taboo side of magic. She is not against breaking the rules to get what she wants, and will make sure she isn't caught doing so if she does. Ihi always has a backup plan, and a backup plan for that backup plan. Although not as into performing as her little sister, she is every bit as into the culture. She takes crap from no one, and make no mistake- if you wrong her, she will get you back. Future likely holds a career in politics, although she could very well get wrapped up in dark artsy things too. |
 | HINA MAIHITI AVAIKI Female - 13 - 3rd year Slytherin - Taken by Tiare Playby: Dina Denoire Hina is the youngest Avaiki, and grew up very spoiled. She is currently attending Hogwarts, and although young, already feels the pressures of being a good pureblood child. She is a performer at heart, and also likes to dream and indulge in creative interests. She is already dancing and competitively Tahitian dance, and often has the opportunity to perform alongside professional groups, thanks to the connections her mother has. In the future, she will continue to grow as a dancer and performer, and will dance professionally full time after school. In her culture, to be a dancer is a very prestigious career path. |
11 August 16, 2007 Student Slytherin/First year Pureblood Hogwarts | PERSONALITY: Hina is a performer at her core. She is great at reading people, and knows how to entertain a crowd. Confident and friendly, she makes friends easily, and loves to make people feel valued/important. Hina is an intuitive young lady, and has a tendency to alter her behaviour to suit who she is with. She uses her skill at reading people to subtly make herself as likeable to them as possible- is someone more quiet and reserved? Hina will match their energy and speak in soft tones. Are they arrogant and self centered? Hina will appeal to their ego and exude confidence around them. It is something that she often doesn't even realise she is doing- a habit of not only being born into a pureblood family where she is always expected to be perfect, but also as someone who has been performing since she could walk, and is used to putting on a show. Due to pressure from her mother and status to be perfect- thin, composed, kind, attractive, Hina is stuck between the paradox of genuinely enjoying life and who she is as a person, whilst simultaneously feeling like she needs to put on a performance and manipulate those around her into liking her. Academically, Hina thrives in creative, intuitive subjects where she can dream and go with her guts to make things happen. She is an artist at heart that loves to create, and doesn't do well with structure and theory. Subjects such as Potions and History of Magic are a struggle for her, and the only way that one might convince her to actually apply herself in these areas is by appealing to her competitive side and dangling the risk of losing in front of her. As well as Tahitian dance, Hina has also been tutored in the playing of the vivo, the Tahitian nose flute. Whilst she uses dance to express herself when she is happy, she often plays the nose flute when she is upset or stressed. It's melancholy sound gives life to the negative emotions she feels she cannot express. ASPIRATION: From the time she was young, Hina has always wanted to be a dancer, like her mother. She dreams of traveling the world and sharing her culture, performing on world class stages and standing ovations. Outside of dance, Hina wants to live. She wants to meet new people. Learn new magic. Experience new things. She is a determined girl that doesn't believe in her limitations, to the point of almost arrogance. An adventurous young lady, she lives life in the brightest of colours, and has decided that when she is old and ready to die, she will be able to look back on her life without regret. | LIKES: -Fruit -Raw Fish -Bread -Dance -Hot weather/Summer -Music -Swimming -Smell of vanilla and coconut -The dark/Night time -Myths and Legends -Competition -Heights -Stargazing -Nose flute DISLIKES: -Cold Weather -Wet socks -Feeling of chalk on her hands -Tight Spaces -Any theory based class -Smell of smoke -Losing -Pumpkin juice -Gobstones -Doctor/dentist visits |

CHILDHOOD. | Hina was born on the island of Tahiti, in the South Pacific. As such, her native tongues were Tahitian and French; she did not learn English until she moved to London. Although an arranged marriage, her parents developed feelings along the way. Both coming from noble Polynesian pureblood families, as well as being respected cultural leaders on their island, a lot of expectation was placed on Hina from a young age. In early childhood, although an only child, Hina never felt alone. As the saying goes, "It takes a village to raise a child", and there was always an aunty, cousin or friend around to keep Hina company. She was doted on, and both her families inheritance, as well as the fact that both of her parents led respectable careers, ensured that Hina never went without nor wanted for anything. Her mother Terehe had Hina dancing as soon as she could walk. Terehe herself was a famed Tahitian dancer that had traveled the world, and she wished the same for her daughter. She was a tough teacher, but luckily, Hina never complained- she loved Tahitian dance just as much as her mother did. However, as Hina started to grow a bit older, the expectations her mother placed on her went beyond simply dancing well; she had to stay thin, make sure she looked good, get along with everyone well and never express any negative feelings that she had. She felt the pressure of having to appear perfect at all times, and not fully let her guard down around anyone, lest they see her flaws. This caused their relationship to grow a bit more strained as Hina continued to grow. The one continuity through it all was that no matter what, they always danced together. Hina's father was involved in politics, and travelled often for work. He would mostly travel to Europe and the UK as a Pacific ambassador. When Hina was 9, her father Mana got a job as a foreign ambassador at the Ministry of Magic, and the three of them relocated to London. The move was hard for Hina- prior to moving, her English was very basic, and her parents had to hire a private tutor to help her catch up. In spite of this, she still struggles with English, and has not quite mastered the language. Hina gets homesick often, and despises the cold dreary weather of London. Although they get to visit regularly, it is simply not the same. She misses her community, her culture, her island. The one refuge for Hina after moving is the Tahitian dance studio her mother opened upon arriving. Receiving her Hogwarts letter filled Hina with excitement- a new adventure! New friendships, experiences, and more! Hina decided to make the most of the new opportunity, and create a new community to help her fill the whole left by moving away from her island. |
