Kanoa

Kanoa a'Keola is a wild magic sorcerer from the island nation of Ierendi. Her mother, Keola, was the captain of the privateer ship Star Chaser. Her father, Alika, was the first mate, and her older sister, Honulani, was the cabin girl. Kanoa grew up on Star Chaser, when she wasn't ashore with her grandmother, going to school with her younger siblings. She fell ill right before her first voyage as a member of the crew, and so was not aboard when the ship and all hands were lost in what was assumed to be a pirate attack. Since then, she gets dreadfully seasick, a symptom of her survivor's guilt.

Her grandmother, Aiko, raised Kanoa and her remaining brother and sister. When Kanoa's magic manifested, it was Aiko who saw to it that she was apprenticed to a sorcerer on the island.

Kanoa is 18, but currently is aged down to 11 due to an incident with her wild magic. Mostly she is a bundle of neuroses held together with low-self esteem. But as she proves herself more capable working with the group, she is getting past the self esteem thing.
