Mokihana (the Secret Service Monkey)

Name: Mokihana
Occupation: Secret Service Agent
Date of Arrival: April 8, 2010

Mokihana is the secret service agent assigned to protect Princess Lokelani, so Mokihana will only agree to go to the home that Princess Lokelani is placed in. (In fact, she will INSIST upon going to the home that Princess Lokelani is placed in!)

Mokihana traveled to France early in her career, where she received training in espionage. She apprenticed in Japan under a world renowned martial arts expert. She also spent considerable time in Germany where she honed her expertise in foreign languages. She is fluent in English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and numerous Pacific Island native languages.

Regardless of her expansive linguistic knowledge, Mokihana's favorite phrases remain, "Tuck and Roll!" and "Serpentine! Serpentine! Serpentine!" She is a bit of an adrenaline junky. She is stealthy and approaches problems with the no-nonsense ingenuity of a MacGiver. On a personal note, she detests snakes. (Her uncle on her mother's side, a rather inquisitive monkey, was once bitten on the nose by a rather irritable snake--resulting in quite a nasty infection and leaving a permanent scar.) Mokihana would not do well in a home that has any pet snakes. She has been known in the past to reflexively snatch unsuspecting snakes up by the tips of their tails and hurls them into the stratosphere.


Status: Adopted by Frankie (sister of Anni) of Normal, Illinois.

(Mokihana is named after Kaui's official plant, the mokihana which is a hardy green berry grown only on the slopes of Mount Waialelae. This berry has the surprising, exotic scent of Anise.)
