today we'll start introducing some of wilderin's companions and supporting cast.

First up is Makani, or Maki for short, has quickly become wilderin's first closest friend since coming to town. Maki for a time was a traveling musician, but some years before wilderin, maki would come to settle into town and now performs at the local taverns and during yearly seasonal events.

Maki is a rather charismatic character oozing with self-confidence, and at a first glance one might think him to be rather full of himself, but he's actually rather sweet and empathetic towards those around him. He's the first person to meet wilderin upon him entering town, and the first friend wilderin makes here. Maki is also extremely perceptive able to quickly pick up the smallest details in a room long before anyone else, especially when it comes to detecting signs of trouble or danger.

However for all his great qualities, he's also a crippling alcoholic, and is rather often found getting wasted drunk at the end of every performance, and just about most nights in general. This often makes him a rather unpleasant to be around, especially during the mornings when he's hungover. He doesn't stop caring about those around him but he's extremely irritable, and quick to lash out when drunk and hungover. Although in spite of this he does put effort into not hurting those he cares about, even if he's unwilling to change this habit, and when he does hurt his friends he does everything to make it up to them.
