Prompt: A 24 year old Samoan-Mexican girl named Koa Sunaia, ends up moving to Australia with her 3 best friends that she met during a study abroad program in South Korea. She was born and raised in Western Samoa and has 3 older brothers, 2 older sisters, and 2 little brothers. Her father is Samoan and her mother is full Mexican. Koa Sunaia is 24 years old with butt length brown hair that is slightly frizzy and curly towards the ends. She has big hazel eyes, tan skin (with a few faded acne scars), and thin yet full lips. She is 5’7 with an athletic/hourglass body shape, she is also slightly muscular (you can see it in her arms, biceps, and shoulders slightly) and has strong legs as well. She is very athletic as she plays or can play multiple sports (i.e. rugby, volleyball, american football, softball, some basketball) and she also knows various languages (Samoan, Spanish, English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin). She also has various tattoos on her body: double band tribal that wraps around her waist, tribal band around her left ankle, a (Lord of the Rings inspired) collage of a sword, an axe, and a bow surrounded by the kingsfoil flower on her right thigh, on her back is two skulls facing each other: one is a decorated like a Mexican sugar skull, and the other has Samoan tribal tattoos on it (which represent her mother and father), she then has purple hydrangeas on her right shoulder, lastly she has a small tribal design comes up from her neck to behind her left ear. Koa’s personality is very shy and unsure of herself when you first meet her, but becomes very extroverted, funny, and loud once you get to know her. Her three best friends are Mia (Colombian), Raylissa (Mexican), and Vanessa (Cuban). Mia is has lighter tanned skin with slightly frizzy brown hair with highlights and brown eyes.

She has an athletic body type as well but is a bit fuller than Mia. She is the most extroverted person of the group and has a very carefree and fun personality.
