Crystal.
Like Taji and her namesake, the Second Chief Taji, Crystal was a one of a kind beauty.
Like Taji, there has been no woman before or after that was born with her rare beauty.
While Taji’s eyes were the colour of a Raven, her long straight hair just as black, Crystal’ s hair was thick and curly, the colour of corn husk, her eyes Crystal blue, That’s why she so named. While the rest of the children looked like family members that were still alive or long passed, Crystal had a look all her own.
Chief Strong adored Crystal, a girl who learned to study and had a quick mind. He enjoyed taching her the art of Alchemy himself and when he and Lady Tiji died, they had lived long enough to see Crystal grow up, marry and have children of her own.
One day, when Crystal had just turned 18 year old, her best friend Sandy-Sun was teasing the sharks. The young women of the village came to the shore, so Sandy thought he should step his game and swim with the sharks and grab one's fin. Crystal became so enamoured that they were soon married.
Like her mama, Crystal went on to have a large family.
First there was Angel, because of his angle fine hair. Angel liked the soil and was often found following his papa as he went fishing or dresses the fruit trees.
The next child was a girl. Have you ever seem the sun when it rises on a hot summer morning, the colour of flames? When that was the colour of this wee one's hair.
So she was named SunRay.
Sons Sun and Taj followed.
And then, when SunRay was 47 years old, she and Sandy recieved two suprises: that SunRay was once again expecting and this time, they were be triples.
