Sekka Pahvi

Sekka Pahvi is Athena's childhood best friend and her eventual partner in Regulation. Pahvi is 5 feet 4 inches, with terracotta skin, yellow eyes with long vertical snakelike pupils, and red-orange hair with yellow tips which is cut in a fluffy bob, bangs dangling on either side of her face. She has Nahkiir fangs and slits at the corners of her mouth which allow her to open her jaw wider than usual, as well as a light blue tattoo, a line across the bridge of her nose and cheeks with dots off to the sides. She has round ears, but has taken to wearing pointed ear cuffs. She is a stalwart companion, and Athena's most trusted friend.

Her parents, Sekka Marv and Sekka Ruhi, are close friends with Athena's parents. Marv operates the butcher shop below Athena and Pahvi's apartment, while Ruhi works as a Siphon at the mines with Athena's mother Val. Pahvi stuck to Athena like glue growing up, and they got up to progressively more dangerous antics as they got older. She followed Athena to Regulation as her partner.

Pahvi searched for Athena after she disappeared (Athena sent her postcards on the anniversary of her disappearance every year which led her to believe she was still out there somewhere), but had little success. She's contacted by mysterious hacker, Thelassica, who offers her information and an opportunity to go and find Athena on the surface, her best chance at success.
