–Kacha
Kacha Hanaman, also known as Tiger, is a Raposa created by GuyThatExists that appears in the short stories The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Two as a major character and The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Three as a minor character.
She was a member of Lavasteam's Royal Guard and was stationed on Ex-Isle, but she was eventually exiled herself for trying to help Byetts escape. While an exile, she helped Oma and Ocean become accustomed to life on the island. After leaving the island, she went to live in Watersong with Elodie. Later, she would witness Allight attempt to possess Ocean, and would soon become one of Allight's thralls.
Appearance[edit]
Kacha is a typical female Raposa, with orange fur and black hair, although she has dyed part of her hair red. While on Ex-Isle, she wears armor from her time as a guard, lacking the helmet and spear that come with the uniform. She has red eyes and some distinct markings on her ears, face, and arms that resemble a tiger's stripes, but it can be assumed that these are not natural patterns.
Story[edit]
The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Two[edit]
Before Wilfre[edit]
Kacha used to be a high-ranking member of Lavasteam's Royal Guard, and she was stationed on Ex-Isle, noticing the cruel treatment multiple Raposa were getting. One night, while on patrol, she came across Byetts, an exile, trying to escape the island. Kacha helps him escape, but the two of them are cornered by Terra, Kacha's subordinate. As Byetts tries to escape, Terra and Kacha fight, but she is defeated. When she comes to after the fight, she noticed that she was in a cell, without her helmet or spear.
Now an exile, Kacha quickly made friends with Byetts and Robigo. Some time later, the three of them are exploring the lower levels of the island before breakfast, when suddenly, they find two Raposa, Oma and Ocean, cowering in fear surrounded by their belongings. Noticing a star map, Kacha asks the two how they got there. Hearing the noise, Elodie comes down to the five of them, bringing them all to breakfast.
At breakfast, Kacha is berated by Terra, and the group of five Raposa eat last. After getting their food, Oma tries to tell Terra that the two of them were kidnapped by Wilfre, but he doesn't believe her. Kacha asks if Wilfre was really back, and Ocean asks how Kacha became an exile. Kacha tells her story, calling Terra's attention. He cuts her off and tells the group to ask her about her nickname - Tiger.
Salem's Attack[edit]
A week later, Kacha is able to sneak back into the staff offices, eavesdropping on a meeting between Terra, Elodie, two other guards, Mog and Sigil, and Miney's advisor, Salem. She gets a look at Salem, who had been video-conferencing in, and she runs back out to a common room, drawing the attention of Elodie and Mog. Kacha tells Byetts, Robigo, Oma, and Ocean what she found, but is chased off by Mog. He eventually captures her, and she is brought to the staff offices to be punished.
The next week, Kacha takes Colepere, a new exile, on a tour of the island. When they arrive at the mess hall, Robigo makes a joke about murder, causing Colepere to snap. Just then, Salem makes his announcement that he would be interviewing multiple Raposa on the island. Kacha hopes she gets an interview so she can get her friends off the island, but she is not selected by Salem. She notices that Colepere hadn't been eating breakfast, and when she pries, he reveals that he saw Salem in Watersong. Kacha pries some more and finds out that Colepere had met Salem before. Ocean asks Colepere how he was exiled, so Kacha and Byetts talk with Oma about how she adjusted to the island. Oma reveals that she joined the weekly yoga sessions, and that they were almost late to that days.
Later that night, Kacha asks Elodie if she knew where Robigo had gone after the interview, so Elodie, Kacha, Byetts, Oma, and Colepere all search for her. They eventually find her in her room being attacked by Salem. They listen in as Salem reveals himself as Wilfre and kidnaps Robigo. The group goes into her room after she is gone, and they discuss how to proceed if Salem returns, Kacha remaining silent for most of the conversation.
Wilfre's Attack[edit]
A week later, Kacha is upset that Oma and Ocean may be leaving with Galileo, but she quickly notices a storm of Shadow brewing outside the island. She gets up to go find Elodie and Terra. She finds them, but suddenly, the hallway is swarmed by Wilfre and his Ameba. Kacha, Elodie, and Terra, along with Mog, all run back into the mess hall and tell everyone to get down. She hides behind a tipped over table with other exiles and some guards, but when Oma and Ocean are kidnapped by Wilfre, she jumps out and begins to fight the Ameba. She is given a spear by Terra, and a battle ensues.
When Wilfre drains the Color from the island, Kacha is petrified, but the Creator quickly restores her, destroying the Ameba in the process. While Kacha finds her bearings, Brûlées stages a rally against the guards. Kacha tries to stop it, but since she used to be a guard, they surround her too. She is saved by Colepere when he stops the rally and helps the exiles and guards negotiate better terms for their treatment.
She eventually leaves the island with Oma, Ocean, Galileo, Eeny, Puck, Byetts, Colepere, and Elodie on Baki Beard's Revenge, mere seconds before Allight enthralls the Raposa on the island.
The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Three[edit]
One year later, Kacha, Elodie, Byetts, and Colepere all came to Galileo's house for dinner. During the meal, she watched as Ocean was briefly possessed by Allight, so she stood back to let Elodie and Dr. Cure help her recover. That night, she listened to Byetts tell her and Kacha the mythos behind Allight, Aldark, and other Raposa legends. The next morning, the four of them set sail back to Watersong. As Byetts slept on the way back, the ship was boarded by Allight, and Elodie, Kacha, and Colepere were enthralled.
While enthralled, Kacha and Elodie became much more passionate, and they helped Allight enthrall Byetts when he woke up. She also helped fight, board, and search the Bane of Kings and Baki Beard's Revenge when they sailed to Watersong. This allowed Allight to enthrall most of the Raposa on the ship, although it also introduced her and her army to the Hero. Later, she was freed from her enthrallment by Ocean and Harsonist, and she joined Rose in the fight against Allight. After arriving in Lavasteam, she watched as Allight was defeated by Fext and as Terra was dishonorably discharged from the Lavasteam Royal Guard. Kacha would almost immediately help Miney arrest Terra, officially exiling him.
