Motherly, kind, stubborn.

Locations: Kiddie Longhouse, Field, Kiddie Playground.

Character: Imala helped to raise seven siblings, giving her a knack for taking care of the newest members of island society. Her empathy for the children gives her a special insight into their emotional states, and her great patience can overcome any overzealous brats. Her usual attitude is cheerful and positive. Her only distraction from this happiness is when her children are in danger. When a threat to the young ones is apparent, Imala goes into protector mode. When standing up for the children, Imala always puts her own life before theirs. This selflessness adds a humble air to the woman. She is angered by the fact that someone could be so hurtful as to harm children. She firmly believes that anyone who has to resort to killing children is a heartless and evil person. If given a clear shot at whoever is behind the trouble in the village, she would most definitely rationalize a killing blow. Despite her somewhat extreme beliefs, kind words are not far from being said when Imala is around.

Description: Imala’s wide frame supports a body built for child care. Her strong hips look capable of carrying even the chubbiest toddlers. Her face is a battle between wrinkles of stress and wrinkles of joy. She wears a conservative, brown shawl made of long grass and cotton, and moves with a quiet deliberation.

"Now you children play nice!"
"You’ll have to excuse the children, they’re far too inconsiderate"
"I won’t have you risking my children for your stupid cause!"
"I don’t think I like the way you’re looking at me."
"Now there, everything is going to be just fine..."
