Sexuality: bi-sexual Relationship status: single Family: Raquel Pardal (Deceased-plane crash) Corneal Pardal (Deceased-plane crash) Kevin Pardal (whereabouts unknown) Physical description: Height: 5’ 2” Weight: 113 lbs Chest length dark chestnut brown hair; honey colored eyes that every now and then change to hazel or brown. She usually has her hair in a pony tail with a hat, or a scarf or both on. Loves to wear her brother’s camouflage pants (of course she had to hem them drastically and take them in) Although she’s “petite” she’s all muscle, so she feels heavier than she really is, and if she tightens up, it can be hard to move all solid 113 lbs of her. Her sculpt and build comes from her dance and swimming back ground, and even though she hasn’t kept up with either of those skills the way she used to, she has maintained a make-shift work-out that keeps her fit. Not a fan of dresses.
Distinguishing marks: She has a Gemini tattoo on her left shoulder with three blue stars around it, and a burn scar on her left calf, from the ankle to the knee. On the inside of her right ankle she has two point shoes overlaying each other with a hibiscus on the front shoe, a visual representation of her two loves, dance and Hawaii.
Personality:1-2 Paragraphs concerning character personality. Kahea’s bright and positive but she has been taught to be a realist. She has book smart but more street smarts. Things rarely surprise her anymore and it’s not easy to catch her off guard. With her fast thinking skills and attention to detail, she can talk her way out of most situations. Only if that doesn’t work, then she reverts to kicking some ass. But with her tough exterior, deep down all she really wants is someone to connect with and not be afraid or intimidated to cry around.
Kahea is your typical Gemini as well, and can been seen fluctuating through many emotions during any given day given the circumstances. She tries to keep herself under control at all times. Kahea also talks, a lot. Her friends used to have a verb named after her, called 'pulling a Sasha'. This meant that someone over explained something the way Sasha used to. Kahea still over explains, but she's more cautious of who she's talking to. Overall, Kahea is friendly until given a reason not to be. She loves practical jokes, playing games with kids, and being loving with her friends. She's not one to be shy.

Items carried: Pocket knife; Swiss army knife History:2-3 Paragraphs concerning character history Sasha Kaheanani Pardal was born into a loving, caring and busy family. Her father was in the military, a Marine Corps fighter pilot, and because of this, she moved around plenty during her life time. She and her older brother Kevin saw Florida, South Texas, Japan, Hawaii, and San Diego together. Because she was her father's daughter, he had her placed in karate classes at a young age. Then he put her in various other classes, Tai Kwon Do, Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu, and even some knife handling lessons starting when she was 13. He didn't want his daughter being anyone's victim, and her mother agreed.
But with her father's tough side, came her mother's soft side. Her mother taught her how to sew at age 7 and attempted to teach her how to cook and bake, but those lessons didn't take as strong as the sewing did. Sasha was in dance and swimming since she could walk, fulfilling her middle name without even realizing it. Kaheanani means "beautiful call of the dancer", Sasha's mother having Hawaiian blood in her and having a gut feeling about her daughter. Kevin, her older brother by 6 years, was also given a Hawaiian middle name that he fulfilled eventually too. "Kekoa" means the brave one, the soldier in Hawaiian. Kevin joined the military after college, Marines, like his father.
Things were going well for the Pardal family in 2012. Sasha was working on her Masters in Fine Arts in Theatre, having discovered another artsy side of herself during her bachelors. Never really being ones to believe in "end of the world" myths, Sasha threw a party at her house on December 21, 2012 and her parents were on their way to Hawaii for Christmas vacation. Kevin was on deployment, and Sasha hadn't spoke to him a few days. When the pulse hit, Sasha was lip-locked her with boyfriend while slow dancing. There was some confusion when the lights went out and the music stopped, but overall, no one was truly worried. Candles were lit and Sasha went outside to find the circuit breaker. That's when she saw that everyone was out of power, her whole block. And then cars weren't moving anymore.
Sasha had no idea what was going on, and the whole party stayed the rest of the night there until morning, until they could see what was going on. When realization hit, Sasha was devastated. She stayed in her and her parent's house for a while, waiting on any kind of word from anyone. She felt guilty for having had a party on the night of her parents' death, and for not taking the myth serious. She couldn't stay in the house any longer, things had turned dangerous and if one thing her father taught her stuck, it was to never willingly let yourself become prey. So she packed up a bag, her father's old military pack, grabbed some MREs, water, canned food, weapons, sparse clothing, three good books, and her battery-run walkman, that still worked. World in ruin or no, Sasha wouldn't live without music in her life, so help her. Before she left with her family dog, Koa, Sasha decided to set fire to the house so that scavengers couldn't de-face her family's belongings for their own greed.
As the fire burned, part of her pants caught by accident, causing an ugly burn scar on her left calf, from ankle to knee. Along the way, Koa and Sasha, now going by her shortened middle name, Kahea, came across a kitten and took her along with them. The three went from Sunny San Diego, California, to slowly north, for no real reason except Kahea had never really been to the northern states before. Kahea, Koa, and Anela made their way to Cascade Locks, and decided to stay. She fit in easily with the Tawas and was so grateful to have found such creative people. The three have been there for little over a year now, having come into town just before winter 2014. Writing Sample:
Kahea hated the winter. Absolutely hated it! With a fiery fricken passion! Her joints hurt as she moved out of bed, begrudgingly. Koa whined for something to eat, and he wasn't going to let her sleep any longer until her was fed. She loved that dog, but sometimes he could be such a diva. "Okay, okay, I'm up. Ya happy?" The dog looked at her with a tilted head as if to ask, what?
Kahea moved her way to a cabinet, grabbing the first thing she saw that would feed Koa and Anela, for now. She had run out of MREs long ago, but now that she was sedimentary in her tribe, she didn't have to worry about constantly finding food for her and her animals. She had stored up enough from the summer and fall just before it got too cold to go out and sing. She put the food in a bowl and placed the bowl on the floor. "There, now let me sleep. It's too cold to be awake." Koa attacked the food like a starving animal, and Kahea giggled as he choked accidentally on it. "Goofball." She padded her way back to her bed and pulled all her covers around her. But sleep wouldn't come back to her. It was daylight outside, and her insides told her that meant it was time to get up. Darn it.
