[Shiny!]

Emits a bright light from his mage stone that can temporarily blind anyone who looks at him. The spell is only effective if the area of usage is dark.

Personality: For Octavinelle's First Year student,Taonga is dubious, unpredictable, possibly insane and endowed with boundless arrogance.His mood tends to shift at the drop of a hat, going from a cheeky and comedic individual, to murderous and menacing in a mere matter of seconds.Taonga is also quirky, comical and entertaining, though in a dark, wicked and malevolent sense to the point that everyone he encounters would be terrified of him.

He also takes pleasure in talking down others with no boundaries by exposing their deepest trauma and secrets to lower their ego for easier manipulation into doing business with Azul before his potential reformation (i.e. after Azul's Overblot in Chapter 3).Taonga can sometimes be extremely narcissistic, arrogant, vituperative, uncompromising and manipulative given the circumstances. Overall,he's quite the fashion freak for anything shiny,as shown with his tendency to dazzle himself with gold accessories both on his human form and merfolk form.

Backstory: When he was young,he was always teased at elementary school as a "drab little mercrab",someone who's not worth getting any attention.Not only looking dull on the outside,he is also physically disabled with his left leg being amputated due to an incident and has to wear a prosthetic leg.Taonga has always wanted to make friends with the other merfolks,but was rejected and ignored every time he tries to have a conversation. Since then,he has learned to make himself stand out in public, by scavenging shiny treasures from sunken ships with his parents to decorate and bedazzle his shell, which actually worked after a few weeks as he's gotten great attention from other merfolks in Coral Sea's elementary school. This habit carried on until he's older, he now always makes himself presentable for every occasion for the sake of getting public attention.To prevent himself from being humiliated,he covers up his prosthetic leg with every long pants he has possible.

Because of this realization, Taonga develops the thought that as long as he's shining on the outside,no one will care about the inside. When he was sent a letter from NRC, he's excited to enroll into the prestigious magic school, wanting to show off his extravagant appearance and (kinda alright)magic talent. He got sorted into Octavinelle during the orientation ceremony as a first year, met Azul and the Leech Twins who opened Mostro Lounge at the time, and was hired to be a waiter of the cafe.
