This is the HEART of Aotearoa/New Zealand - a cyclone threatening us by tomorrow and already marae are ready and willing to welcome anyone.

A portrait painting of a Dungeons and Dragons character. They have dark green hair, and brighter green skin, with a very simplified, fantasy version of traditional Māori face tattoos, as well as a legend of zelda Sheikah marking on their forehead. They have the antlers of a stag, the eyes of an Eagle Owl, and pointed, feathery ears. They have gold jewelry on their antlers, and large gold discs in their ears. They have scars on their face, and their jaw looks like it could open from ear to ear. The portrait has a gold frame.
