Kelii “Leafdrop”

Kelii “Leafdrop” Kinori Skinkslayer

Family
Kelii is the eldest son of Matriach Metuker and Patriarch Atiniui of the House of  Po’e O Lua Pele. He grew up practically inseparable from his twin sister, Flute, and they share a close bond.

Training
His father Atiniui, the chief druid of the tribe, tried to train Kelii in the magical ways of the jungle, but he lacked the aptitude for it, and grew immensly frustrated. He sought training from his mother in the path of the warrior, not the path of magic. His father’s disappointment turned into his mother’s joy when he naturally blended in with the jungle. He spent much of his time climbing trees and hunting wild game, sneaking up on his prey. His favorite was to leap upon them from above, the only sound they heard being the whisper of air as he fell, earning him the nickname “Leafdrop.”

Flute's Capture, Kelii's Failure
In the final year of Kelii’s warrior training, Flute was captured during a raid by the encroaching lizardmen. Kelii was absent, scouting in the jungle, spying upon the lizardmen’s encampment. Flute was held for weeks, and lost her voice. Kelii felt extreme guilt for failing to protect her, and failing her in time of need. Because he had not completed the warrior’s training, he was unable to go on the raid to rescue her. Despite his close attachment to his mother, he is resentful of her for refusing to bend rules in his case. She suspected his intentions to mount a sneak attack of his own devising, and had him put under watch until Flute was recovered.

Aftermath
Since then he has spent more time than ever with Flute, and tried to train her in the ways of stealth and camouflage, so she can accompany him on his forest escapades. He is also known for his hunting hooded cloak made out of vine, thus “Vinehood.”  He has crafted a similar one for Flute as well.
