Matiika Hēnare

"It’s made me very happy, to have such a cute, darling daughter like you."

Matiika Hēnare is the mother of Taniika Eikii and the late Princess of Heiyān. She died ten years before the start of the series.

Appearance
Matiika had wavy white hair, showing her status, and soft crimson eyes inherited from her mother. She was remembered to have been a delicate beauty but kind and strong in her own way.

History
Matiika was born the second daughter of the Heiyān royal line. Though it would be her elder brother who would become the Ēkavarka, Matiika oddly did inherit a fraction of her bloodline's abilities, having the gift of precognition.

Both Kaien and Matiika had soft, kind personalities even as children, making their mother, a cunning and cruel woman and the former Ēkavarka, deem them "useless" and "sentimental."

Due to their mother's coldness and cruelty, Kaien practically raised Matiika, four years younger, giving her the love of a parent, they didn't have.

After Hakai was crowned, Matiika left Heiyān and moved to Dahān, to avoid burdening her brother. She died a few years after Taniika was born, leaving her with her father, a Dahānese noble, who was psychologically abusive.
