History

Kong of Skull Island

Kong of Skull Island #6

Despite an attempt on her prenatal life by the shaman V'drell, K'vanni is born to Ewata, and is the heiress to the throne of the newly formed Taguatu people, after her father, the late Prince K'reti. As a sleeping infant, K'vanni was taken into the jungle beyond the wall by her mother to meet the banished Kong Valla, who had saved her life from V'drell.

Kong of Skull Island #7

K'vanni slept through a ceremony commemorating her birth, at which her mother Ewata accepted her place as Queen until her daughter was old enough to assume the throne.

Kong of Skull Island #8

After the exiled Kong Valla arrived at the wall with an orphaned infant Kong, Ewata accepted it and allowed K'vanni to raise it. The two became fast friends.

Kong of Skull Island #9

In the following nine years, K'vanni experienced a Deathrunner attack that was used as leverage by a man called Aguul in his argument that humans must replace Kong as their main defense. Because Aguul sent a militant to combat a Deathrunner that came out of the mines near the village, despite Ewata's having stationed Kong there for just such an occasion, Ewata went to reprimand him with K'vanni in tow. Aguul proclaimed that expansion and the building of his proposed fortress in the jungle were necessary, and he appealed to K'vanni that she would understand the need to exterminate all creatures that posed a threat to their people when she became Queen. Ewata scoffed at this idea, telling Aguul that his proposal would cost many lives, and told him that the Atu gods did not protect them on Skull Island. K'vanni then reminded Ewata, that as the leader of both the Atu and the Tagu, the Atu gods were in a sense her gods as well. Flustered, Ewata escorted K'vanni to her lessons. At home, when Ewata asked about her day with the Storyteller, K'vanni began to question her decision to not allow construction of a citadel in the jungle, citing the fact that the Kong had been dangerous when they were first found but were domesticated, and asked why the same could not be done with the Deathrunners. Ewata grew angry, and explained to K'vanni that she could not tame nature. K'vanni then saw fit to remind her mother that she had the blood chosen by the gods, and that maybe she could do it. Ewata grew furious and reminded K'vanni that she was just a child with no idea of the horrors of the world around her. K'vanni then ran from her home and down to the coast where she watched a Marine Iguana leap from the water. Eesa the engineer then approached her and said that she understood K'vanni's difficulties with her mother, having been one herself. K'vanni then asked to see what they were building in the jungle, and Eesa arranged for her to visit the site the following day, and when K'vanni asked to bring her Kong, Eesa obliged. The next day, instead of going to class, K'vanni met with the Citadel project's leader Aguul, and later she and her Kong went to see them.

Trivia

• While K'vanni herself is never seen until Issue 6, Ewata is pregnant with her from the start of the series, although she does not know it until Issue 2. Valla, however, realized it in Issue 1.
