‘Iwalani Onaona

’Iwalani Onaona, also known by his code name Mo’olani is a major character in Nanu’s Paradise. He is the uncle of Naomi Onaona.

Description
As a human:
 * He was short in stature, with long black hair in a ponytail and dark brown, almost black eyes. He would often wear around his neck was a Grondium-Z Crystal, but it was replica and often wear on his wrist was a replica of a Z-Ring, as to not damage or lose it. Time and the sunshine got to his face, carving out canyons and moles that were possibly cancerous. He often wore a light, white long-sleeved shirt under his light grey uniform; bright pink tie with a silver-coloured tie pin; khakis with a leather brown belt and gold belt buckle and brown leather sandals that resemble Birkenstocks. He had a lot of thick, black with greying hair, often had two braids along his cheeks and the rest of his hair tied in a hair tie; of which are all tied in neon green ties. He had short, kempt beard and moustache.
 * He was kind and caring, despite his normally pensive face, and would often go out of his way to be with his family, even his sister-in-law when she fell and broke her leg.
 * One of his habits would be that he would clasp a toothpick in his teeth, something he would often chew on as a replacement for cigars or cigarettes, as he couldn't have tobacco anymore. He loved to fiddle with it with his tongue. One of his favourite drinks was champagne, something he would share with his family whenever he solved a huge case.

As a :
 * He is a large Kommo-o, being taller and heavier than an average, making him totem-sized. His scales are different colours too, being subtly a different shade of greyish-brown and yellow, with the feathery scales being a light whitish-blue. Instead of the usual red scales that Kommo-o have, his scales are blue. When he debuted, some of his claws had broken off and he had several scars across his body.
 * His personally has since unchanged, but often shows remorse, reminiscing about being a human again, however; he seems to enjoy being a Pokémon, as Kommo-o can live a very long time and if he was still a human, he would have been 74 years-old. His appearance is quite gruff, belieing his kind-hearted nature. He quickly became close to Larissa, as he is a Dragon-type, her favourite typing.
