She sometimes gets a little over excited but is usually able to reign herself in fairly quickly. She also tends to be a bit forgetful and loses track of the time easily.

History: Tidemist was born as the only child of the previous chief, Lapisblaze. She was also born floating, and was kept tethered with rope through the majority of her childhood, as she had a habit of trying to float off. When she got too big to be harnessed to someone, eventually one of the elders decided to just tie her to a rock that was too heavy to fly with, and that sufficed until she was mature enough to not go flying off.

After she matured, she began training under her mother to become the next chief, and working to hone her abilities. It was during one swim that she became pestered by seagulls that she discovered she was able to manipulate the water, though not very much or for long. She began trying to train to better control this new power, though often has little use for it. She eventually found herself becoming friends with their resident High One, Kaimeta and often enjoys spending hours with her when there is nothing to be done. Occassionally Kaimeta will shape Tidemist a tail so she can swim through the ocean like a fish, though this does not happen too often. Tidemist will occassionally call her by a nickname of Kai, though no one else of the tribe has been allowed to do this.

Somewhere in her one hundreds, her mother went off to find the Lapis stones she had been named for that could be found washed up on the beach. However she never came back, and could not be found despite much searching. It is uncertain if she simply wandered off, or if she was killed by a predator. Tidemist refused to become chief until after a few years after her mother's disappearance, though she still hopes her mother will come back to the coves some day. She often finds herself midly fascinated by her WolfFolk counterpart, and talks to them the most often out of the entire WolfFolk tribe, interested in what stories they had of the things they had seen, and the way they view the world.
