Captain of the Ussalry!

 

I felt the need to draw Onepu and what she would look like. (Yes, she :3) Also like, she and Nuparu just look so cute, I had to squish them together~ Also lets make ladies with sideburns normalized uvu

Onepu is probably one of the tallest Matoran on the island, she's still very proud of herself, close with Nuparu and Taipu - though she considers Taipu almost like a little brother (along with having a few friendly scuffles with him). She's like the older sister that sucks up to Mom and Dad at every possible moment, but she's still cool enough to beat up school bullies and hang out with you no matter what.

I imagine she and Nuparu got closer by just having plenty of interactions, one being Whenua's right hand and the other maintaining the mechanics of the whole village - they had to interact at one point. Nuparu getting smitten with Onepu's good looks and thinking she's a "knight in shining armor" type of person. Though getting closer, Onepu started to show off a much more laid back side to her and Nuparu took to that immediately, amused by her vanity and her close relationship with Taipu. Nuparu makes sure Onepu is reminded to have a bit of modesty every now and then, keeping her grounded and being honest with her.

Onepu loves Nuparu's smarts and is drawn to her work. She could watch Nuparu tinker all day if she could. Any chance she's also hurt, she comes to Nuparu to mend her wounds, coming in with dramatics and tales of how a beast nearly swallowed her whole - Nuparu sees through that though but plays along with her for a minute until she worms the real story about how Onepu was sleeping on a boulder and fell while she wasn't aware.

Anyways, I hope you like her design~!
