Kualono

Kualono or just simply Lono is Obsidian's mate and the mother of Kopako. She is a major character in Obsidian's Story. She was Gigi's sixth-known Pokémon, but was released at the end of Nanu's Revenge. She is also a major character in Nanu's Paradise, tagging along with Matt, with her mate, Obsidian, by his side.

Description
She is lithe and sleek, her colour shocking to most, as she is different than most, being a shiny. She is mostly grullo in colour, including the tip of her tail and edges of her ears. Her uppersides, flanks, tail and fur around her eyes and inside of her ears are ebony in colour. Her muzzle is short and ends in a very dark brown, nearly black nose. Her irises are blood red in colour, while her pupils are dark sienna in colour. Her flame crest is vermilion, Princeton orange and Spanish orange in colour, in which it extends the entire length of her body. She also has cosmic latte-coloured teeth and dark sienna gums show. Her claws are long, sharp, and black in colour, and they are easily three inches long, if not longer.

Kualono is considerate and ambitious. Of course, she's also clear-headed, protective and surprising, but those are often overshadowed by tendencies of being disturbing as well. Her considerate nature though, this is what she's most popular for. Friends frequently count on this and her surprising nature whenever they need assistance or help.

She is kind and compassionate, too, gaining her the moniker of "Kualono the Kind," from her family.

She is standoffish and aggressive as well, not trusting strangers, but once she gets to know them, she is loyal.

In Obsidian's Story
Kualono was born into a pride of Pyroar that inhabit the summit of Lanakila. Her father is the leader of the pride, and his queens include her mother, cousins, aunts, and sisters.

She finds Obsidian and attacks him. The two put up a good fight, ending in a tie. But she managed to scratch his left cheek and injure his flank, near his leg.

Before Nanu's Revenge
Before the events of Nanu’s Revenge, there was a horrible blizzard and avalanche, leaving her fate unknown. Obsidian barely made it out, but he thought his mate didn’t, and he thought she was dead. But Lolani tells him that she ran into a cave before the avalanche and was the one that led her to the cave.

In Nanu's Revenge
The two are reunited with each other in the end of chapter 30. She is also seen in chapter 33, in Nanu and Naomi's wedding. It is revealed that Gigi accepted her into her team but she was released in chapter 34.

Before Nanu's Paradise
Before the events of NP, Obsidian, Kopako and her return to Mount Lanakila. Her daughter evolves, and she also accepts her daughter's mate into their pride.

In Nanu's Paradise
She pounces upon Ghislaine, knocking her down into the cave floor, almost locking her jaws around her throat. Obsidian tells her to stop, as he recognised them. She feels guilty for attacking them, as she didn't recognise any of them at first, feeling guilty, but Gigi forgives her. She along with Kopako and Obsidian, is reunited with everyone. She introduces herself to her family as well.

She is also revealed to be pregnant again, much to Obsidian and her surprise, as it was thought one of them was infertile.

While travelling with Matt temporarily, she lets her daughter and daughter-in-law in charge of the pride. Despite being pregnant, she helps Kyanite rescue Rosetta.
