Edeni

Name: Edeni Age: 26 Occupation: Tribe leader and chieftains of the mustari settlements on Virga Island [named Eht Ria] Appearance: Tan skin, orange eyes, black eyebrows, neck-length shaggy blond hair, wears traditional Mustari cloaks over short black shirt and pants - fitting for the tropical climate. Wears silver earrings and is lean and muscular. He has a third eye on his forehead that can sense magla [magic] like all mustari.

Personality: Edeni wants the best for his people and his little sister. Eupha, the acting Dragon priestess of the village is his only family after their mother and father died in a fatal sea accident causing Edeni to step in to help as a leader and with Eupha. He can be protective of his sister but he believes that letting her travel with Will's group in their quest to win the Tournament for the Throne and overthrow the tyrannical runner-up Louis Guiabern is best for her growth. Edeni is incredibly astute and in-tune with nature, he can predict and change the weather with his magic though it takes great preparation. Edeni is a strong and natural leader who believes in doing the right thing even if it goes against his traditions and customs. Edeni like any can be scared and afraid of change but is willing to embrace it and be a strong man with a heart of gold.

Edeni when off the island like most Musari can be seen wearing a helmet that hides his face {His is shaped like a castle rook chess piece}.

Backstory: He joined the Tournament for the Throne to promote religious freedom and was among the 20 competitors who progressed past the Exhibition of the Brave. When the Sanctist Church announced that contestants were to plunder relics from pagans like the mustari of Virga Island, Edeni protested as he was a pagan himself, leaving the competition and returning to Virga Island to inform the villagers and put the island on high alert for intruders. He came to relying on Will's group for help and learned through them and his own journey outside of the islands to the rest of Euchronia that there were still people willing to help despite the massive differences between the cultures and that more existed beyond Mustari customs.

Family: Sole surviving family is his younger sister Eupha. Edeni like other Mustari people do not have surnames, a title may be used in place of a surname but not always.

Tribe: Mustari - people from this tribe have a third eye on their foreheads. Because they wear unique masks and traditional costumes, some people might see them as creepy, and few know of their real faces that are underneath. They have heightened senses compared to other tribes. Though they use their primary two eyes to view the scenery like everyone else, with their third eyes they see magla, but sensitivity varies from person to person. They are despised by Sanctists as pagans and might be subject to severe persecution. Due to their connections with the World Before. In practice however, the church and the mustari usually don't interfere with each other, and unlike with the paripus and eugief, violent persecution against the mustari do not usually occur, as most of them are confined to their own islands that most people, including the Sanctist Church, usually refrain from entering, and a few can be seen wandering in large cities.

Culture - Handshakes amongst the Mustari seem to have a romantic connotation and can sometimes be done between spouses as a symbol of good luck but there is also other meanings to handshakes.
