An ancient dweller of the sea, Hokulani appears in Sulani tales of a beautiful yet fearsome protector, who taught the island residents of the ocean. Over generations, the people came to love and revere her; but the other mer-folk grew jealous and forced Hokulani to choose over the humans she guided or the life she knew under the water. Unable to pick, they cursed her to walk the land by day and embrace her true form at night, never truly fitting in no matter where she went #islandliving#mermaid
