• Height: 157.48 cm (5'2”)
• Mass: 81.65 kg (180 lbs)
• Build and Skin Color: Yanga is the exact opposite of his twin, slender and only muscled well enough to do what he needs to. The skin beneath his fur is a soft and tender pink.
• Eyes and ears: Yanga's startling clear blue eyes are small, more oval shaped almonds with the corners sticking straight out from his pupils. His ears have a more slender base and are taller seeming triangles with gently rounded points, and due to his albinism the typical white dots on the back of his ears appear to be missing unless inspected closely.
• Fur Color and accents: Thanks to partial albinism Yanga's fur is off-white, with his terran leopard like markings a beautiful shade of pale cream that darken around his ears, face, feet, hands and towards the end of his tail.
• Distinguishing Features: Yanga's tail is only six inches long and noticeably more fluffy and longer furred than the rest of his body. His shortened tail is the result of the accident that caused him to fail his Baqnor (move from youth). His hands have four thick fingers, and an opposable dewclaw that serves as his thumb. Yanga also has a series of three small, golden colored rings pierced through his right ear close to the top.

• Personality: Yanga is surprisingly sweet and relaxed despite everything. He's typically level headed even in a heated situation. He prefers to be around his twin Alpin and can become very depressed and unmotivated if separated from his twin for too long. Given some tough love and support, Yanga does have the ability to be tough if a situation really calls for it. He'd rather spend his time tinkering, working with his hands or tending to those who need his help than anything else.
• Likes: Hands-on Projects, mashed up fruit (think applesauce), tending to baqli, sketching & drawing, blanket making, having his ears stroked
• Dislikes: Fighting, intolerance of others, sweets, having his tail touched
• Goals:
  • Short Term; To learn as much about about star ship systems and operations as possible in a years time.
  • Long Term; To become a high ranking Starship Engineer and operator, Perhaps even captain his own ship.

Alpin and Yanga were born to their mother Inyan in CY 737 to the Lupaie Family of House Falon in the safety and comfort of their mother's home in the Red district of Âmuso-mu Vonaieano'ka on the Sotâka Ruomâqi. They turned out to be fraternal twins, with Alpin being born first and Yanga following soon thereafter. Their parents, though overjoyed with their arrival, were too deeply involved in searching for the missing hunters from the year before to be able to stick around for longer than it took for Inyan to recover from giving birth.

Thankfully three months earlier Trilia and her mate Mauli had come to an agreement, after discovering she was pregnant with Omalp's child, to join the family and raise the twins alongside her own expected child. Though neither Inyan, Omalp, or Phaga were particularly pleased about the idea of having a Qakla or Tula in their family, they accepted it for the good of the twins. This ended up working out well for everyone involved. With Trilia and Mauli there to see to raising Trilia's daughter Omlia, Alpin and Yanga together the other three could freely move about.

As Trilia works as a Ytaqo'a of food from the station's farms, and Mauli is a Wapoin'aka at one of the near-by medical facilities, this left the trio of children with someone to always watch them and that allowed the pair of Daho'a and Vonawotanu'a to go off to serve the clan. Thanks to the adults doing different things, the children were brought along when they went to work, getting a good bit of their education from many others than just Trilia and Mauli and occasionally Inyan, Omalp or Phaga when they were cycled back to the Sotâka Ruomâqi for a few months.

Being raised in a variety of environments from the Weâm Vana Movi, to the Vonaieano'ka, and even on a few trips out into space on less dangerous missions left both Alpin and Yanga more capable to adapting to many different environments, levels of stress, and even loss. This sort of being moved around a lot also facilitated the need for them to do a lot of their learning in a home-schooled environment, especially as they grew in age. They probably took easier to the material taught one on one with tutors than they did during the few full years they spent at the Ruohui Giba'te.

Their two years at the Ruohui Giba'te were both spent with the twins absolutely miserable. Alpin's temperamental flares only sooth-able by his twin's gentle touch, Yanga's quiet and reserved nature only improved by Alpin's firm encouragement. Alpin's strength making up for Yanga's small size, Yanga's intelligence and wit keeping Alpin out of trouble. Together they were capable of almost anything, and this was proved even more so true when they began their Kâbo'kai Ojme and then attempted to run their Baqnor separately.

Yanga spent four Kâbo'kai Ojme in different Kâbo'kai. Her first was also spent in her mother's occupation as a Daho'a, though after her initial feedback was less than satisfactory she tried something vastly different. The second was spent as a Wapoin'a, the third as a Bajao'a, and the fourth as a Kynlumu'a. Her recommendations encouraged for her to take an occupation that would challenge her knowledge and allow her to work with her hands. While she didn't have as many problems being separated from her twin, it was noted that the separation for long periods did create problems.

Yanga went first on her solo Baqnor. While she passed the first three tests almost flawlessly thanks to her intelligence, the fourth test proved to almost be her downfall. While hunting in The Preserve she became too focused on her task and was caught by the male great cat she hadn't noticed had joined up with the female great cat she had been hunting. Caught by her tail Yanga just barely managed to escape and outrun the pair of big cats. She made it to the end point and had it not been for Alpin's insistence that she finish the test she may have just accepted her fail and going through with the Sou Fofi. Missing tail and all, Yanga did however make it through the fifth and final test and was offered the chance to re-do the fourth test.

Yanga took that chance and once Alpin's first three tests were done, they were both sent to The Preserve with the more difficult task of taking down a pair of great cats. Between Alpin's strength and Yanga's knowledge, they were more than successful in taking down two cats, and a third who had decided to come check out the deaths of the first two. Their arrival, cats in tow, was meet with great praise and approval, and Alpin went on to pass the remaining test just as easily as his sister had.

It was shortly after their Baqnor is when Haukru came along. Having been abandon at the medical facility where Trilia worked, the woman had immediately requested permission to adopt the child as her own in the hopes the other adults would agree. They did, only because Haukru was a Qaktoro and between the five adults and their well standing house they had more than enough to support another child. Yanga and Alpin were both smitten with the new cub immediately, both young adults more than happy to engage in helping raise the young qaktoro.

It was around this time that Yanga gently requested a few things from her family. The Tula was a little alarmed that Yanga requested to be sterilized voluntarily, but they all accepted her choices, and her request for a pronoun switch without too much trouble. Alpin of course was there for his twin every minute, remaining at Yanga's side before and after surgery, and thereafter proactively working to ensure his twin was referred to as he wished to be. That much done they ended up following different pursuits.

Once he was recovered Yanga went about studying and training to be a Technician with the goal of becoming a star ship engineer in the Silver moon sect. Alpin ended up following his parents and becoming a warrior in the blood tooth sect. They were both pleased to find that they were being placed, together, for their first assignment.

He's capable of making drawings and various sewn items that stand up to professional standards if he wishes to thanks to all of his years of practice.
