Get the Cyanide and Happiness mug.Hapai: (n) A shy creature at first. Uniquely beautiful, a Hapai is remarkably difficult to come by, and those lucky enough to encounter one should be aware that this will likely be their only chance to do so.
Outwards appearance is generally described as stunning, notable features include big brown eyes that seem to search the very depths of your soul, and a smile that will claim your heart forever. Once seen, the face of a Hapai is impossible to forget.
A sense of humour is a defining trait of a Hapai and is seemingly unique to this species. The Hapai seems to find ways to create laughter and good feeling where all else fails.
Equally comfortable in large or small groups, the Hapai is extremely picky with company, but to said company is absolutely indespensible.
A strong, self assured creature, the Hapai is never arrogant, but similarly has a sense of self worth and respect lacking in most other creatures.
The Hapai has an ability with the words that is second to none, and can break even the toughest of exteriors.
Genuine and forthright, the Hapai can always be trusted to be open and honest, to speak her mind tactfully but firmly, and it is noted that all others who come into contact with a Hapai seem thoroughly aware of her stance towards them.
Incredibly loving, a Hapai is a creature that, once it finds a partner, forms a strong, passionate, caring relationship from which neither party will stray.
