Hair
Aolani's hair, for the most part, is completely natural. She does have her hair tied up in pigtails of a sort, but that's about all the stylizing she's done to it.
Eyes
Aolani has 20/20 vision.
Markings
No real markings on her, more or less.
Build
Aolani is physical fit for her age. She's apart of her school's track team too, which helps her keep in shape.
Clothes
Aolani likes to dress simply: jeans, shirts, basic clothes like that. She can wear a skirt or dress if the situation calls for it, but otherwise, she likes to dress in a more functional manner.
Accessories
Aolani doesn't really have any accessories, per say, that she can't go without or always carries around.
Weapons
Aolani carries a stun-gun with her at all times. Other than that, though, she doesn't have any weapons on her person.
Skills
Natural Skills
Aolani has a good knack for discerning when people are lying; she isn't quite sure what it is, but most of the time she is able to figure out when people are lying to her. Aolani also has a knack for math and numbers, finding it very easy to excel in such classes.
Learned Skills
Aolani is an avid runner, and over the years has learned a great deal about that via school track and other such things. She's also acquired a great deal of cynicism over the years, for the better or worse.
Weaknesses
Aolani can be rather bad at expressing herself sometimes; she's been used to hiding her true feelings half the time, that she finds it difficult to really open up to people. She's managed to open up quite a lot with Chiyo, but she still finds it hard. Also, on an unrelated note, Aolani is absolutely terrible at surfing. All her attempts to learn or try have ended in disaster, much to her embarrassment; her grandfather finds it especially amusing, given the fact both he and her parents were good surfers in their own right, and the fact that Aolani has Native Hawaiian blood in her.
Mentality
Quirks
Aolani is a big fan of plays and other similar productions, something that contrasts with her otherwise grim nature. Other than that, she really doesn't have any quirks, per say.

Fears
Aolani has many fears, primarily dealing with loss. She is afraid of losing her friendship with Chiyo, of losing her already fading memories of her parents, of losing her grandfather....
On another note, Aolani has an inexplicable fear of heights.
Personality
Aolani is a somewhat distant, and cold girl, though that's more or less because of the traumas she's faced in life. At heart, Aolani is a kind and gentle young woman, who yearns to make more friends. She also has an...odd way of showing her affections. She often teases people, though not unkindly. Aolani is also quite the sardonic and snarky young lady, taking occasional delight in shining down a light of cynicism and pessimism on certain things.
Personal Life
Significant Relationships
Aolani doesn't have very many significant relationships, but the ones that she does have relate to her family, and to her very best friend, Chiyo.
She loves her parents, and a day doesn't go by without her thinking about them. Her memories of her parents are distant and dim now, but Aolani remembers that they were kind, loving, and cared for her a great deal. She misses them terribly, and every year, on the anniversary of their deaths, she pays a visit to their graves, to pay her respects.
Aolani absolutely loves and adores her grandfather, her primary caretaker, who's always been with her ever since the death of her parents. He's been a good parent to her, and has been there for her, no matter what. His slowly worsening heart condition has her worried, though she tries not to dwell on it too much. Aolani has a wonderful relationship with her grandfather, and always goes to him for advice, whenever possible.
Aolani doesn't have very many friends these days, but what friendship she does have, she treasures a great deal. And that friendship is primarily in the form of her very best friend, Chiyo. She's been friends with Chiyo ever since she and her parents emigrated to Kalani, and they've gotten along swimmingly. Aolani has found that Chiyo is quite the good listener, and she's provided her with some much needed company; after her parents died, Aolani became a bit of a loner, so she hasn't really had a lot of strong friendships before.
Recently Aolani has become aware that her feelings to Chiyo have...changed, slightly. She feels a greater romantic attraction to Chiyo now, and a part of her would love for them to become girlfriends. But, Aolani is more than content to just remain friends with Chiyo, and she doesn't want to pressure her friend into anything she doesn't want.
Family
Aolani has a rather small family, one that's shrunk even more over the years. Her parents, Roger Stevens and Nani Stevens, both died in a home invasion when she was six. Since their death, Aolani has been raised primarily by her grandfather, Makaha Malo.
History
Aolani doesn't really have an unusual backstory...per say; for the most part, she had a regular childhood. She was raised by two loving parents, and enjoyed a pleasant life on Kalani Island.
Then, shortly after she turned six years old, her parents were murdered in a home invasion.
After that, nothing was ever really the same. Her grandfather in Honolulu moved so he could take care of her and raise her in her parents' absence, and since then, he's been her guardian and caretaker. Life without her parents was hard, but it was an adjustment made easier by her kind and patient Grandpa Makaha. Eventually Aolani was able to come to terms with the deaths of her parents, more or less, and lead on with life.
Aolani recently turned fifteen, and so far, things are looking up for her. She enjoys the company of a relatively new friend, Chiyo, and she's become a bit more sociable in general, having joined her school's track team. Overall Aolani is satisfied with the life she's leading now; if she had one Wish, it would be having her parents there with her to enjoy it.
