Pari, retired Pride Advisor

Daughter of Cirio and Eti, the Pride Advisor.
Niece of Oju.
3rd gen.
Yoruba - Complete.

This little one came at a fortunate time - her mother was starting to get angsty over training an heir for her position. Pari is kind, but easily influenced by her mother, and tends to go along with what she is taught and told, which suits Eti fine but worries the old king and queen. They agree to place her with Shisheeya when she is old enough, and try to be diplomatic with her mother, who feels slightly affronted.

Her name was chosen by her mother, who, after her birth, asked what colour eyes she had. Hananne smiled and said softly, why, they are blue! Eti sighs sadly, and says to her newborn, so quietly, "...you complete me."

At the dawn of the new royal siblings' reign, she, along with many of the old guard, decides to step down and hands her place to her obedient and clever young daughter.

Now, where did those years go? Pari finds herself pondering. She is now over 14 years old and her time as advisor has been successful and without issue. Her daughter Tambaya is not even three, yet has a young head full of help and ideas, and Pari happly hands down the position, stepping aside to enjoy her retirement.

"You told Pari to spend a few hours stalking something of interest and report back without getting caught. Taking your orders too literally, she returned a few hours later to report on a cute bee's movements among flowers."

"As you walk up to Pari, Pride Advisor, she drops whatever she was doing immediately. She's ready and willing to do whatever you ask!"
