Okiya is a person of a sweet amazing kinda heart. Full of joking and open to mostly everyone that is nice or special to them in a way because they may have experienced alot in they past so they based they future on better loving and caring friendships or relationships to give someone somethings they never got. They are also a very very quiet person on the inside and hardly ever open up about they feeling and may take may Years to. Okiya is the best person to love because people like them are will to love you more than you can give.
