Aounabara

Aounabara (滄海原), also known as The Sea King, was the original ruler of the Blue Sea in Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. Before falling into a deep slumber, he bestowed his position of ruler to his daughter Uomihime. He is currently missing from the character page.

Physical Description
Aounabara appears to be a very regal person, living up to name. His hair is pure white, bangs stylized into a messy hime cut parted to the left, and a high ponytail that reaches to an undetermined length; judging by pictures, the length exceeds the length of his body. He wears traditional jōe, with a white outer tunic and a deep blue undergarment. The ends of his outer sleeves are scaled, light blue and white in coloring. His sashinuki, or pants, are dark gray, trimmed with black. One of his most noteworthy features are the horns that protrude from either side of his head, four in number, resembling antlers in shape. On his face are blue markings, two lines beneath each eye. His eyes have a black sclera, yellow irises, and black pupils. He appears to have clawed hands, gray in color, with sharp white claws protruding from each finger.

Personality
Aounabara is known as a very powerful being, and his influence still affects the Blue Sea long after he descended the throne; all of the residents seem to respect the King to some degree.

Jiiya, Uomihime's fish servant, describes Aounabara as cruel, due to his influence in instigating a rivalry and war between his two daughters. His reasons and motives for his actions are currently unknown.

Background
It was revealed in a Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea -Reboot- bonus scene that Aounabara was created by Satanick to rule over the sea as one of the kings called the three divine beasts. Aounabara became lonely however, fearing what was at the bottom of the dark sea. Satanick created Meikai to become a friend and companion for Aounabara, and the kingdom was filled with light, such as was never seen before or after. After finding out however that Meikai was in love with the Moon Spirit, Aounabara became jealous and cursed her. His negative feelings seeped into the sea. To see Meikai cry over the loss of someone he loved caused Aounabara to regret what he had done, falling into both despair and a deep slumber.

Meikai

When Aounabara discovered that Meikai had fallen in love with the Moon Spirit, he became upset that his dear friend and "precious treasure" had been taken from him. He cursed Meikai's lover, which deeply hurt Meikai, subsequently causing the Sea King to fall into a deep slumber as he felt unfit to be king.

As of the 2017 10 22 Sunahama relationship charts update, the Sea King is shown to have faint feelings towards a young Meikai.

Natural Abilities

 * Nigh-Absolute Immortality - Like all non-human characters in the Deep-Sea Prisoner Universe, Aounabara cannot die from natural causes such as aging or disease.

Trivia

 * Judging by his appearance, mainly by his horns and scales, there are some signs pointing to the idea that Aounabara could maybe be an eastern dragon, well-known for being powerful water deities, and oftentimes associated with royal status and authority.
 * Aounabara's appearance is remarkably similar to Artamos, the king of the Totsusa Kingdom. From their outfits, to hairstyles, to the eye-like markings on their cheeks, they both greatly resemble each other. This could be due to them having both been created by Satanick, along with Kigisu.
 * During a Bonus Scene of the Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea -Reboot-, it was revealed that Aounabara, Artamos, and Kigisu are three divine beasts created to rule over the sea, land, and sky, respectively, to make the devil's world more lively.
