Kauane is a character in the fanfiction Winx Club HFY. She was the wife of Krón and is the mother of Diana. Ever since the Darkest Day, she has been ruling over the Amazon Fairies and working restlessly to keep her people safe.
Early Life[]
Kauane was born to a tribe in the Amazon Rainforest, north of the river, in 1541. Outsiders began coming to their lands, and the people of her tribe began falling ill. The witches of the tribe had no answers to the illnesses. Kauane knew that it had to be the outsiders' fault. When she was twenty, she set out in search for the knowledge to cure her people.
During her search, she discovered many of the other tribes were facing the same illness as her own. As she got closer to the ocean, she encountered entire encampments of outsiders, and when she got close, they attacked her and drove her off like she was some animal. After being chased off one too many times, she began sending in her Searchers to scout the camps, but none of them had the information she was looking for.
One camp she scouted was home to a creature that looked like a pink-haired woman with butterfly wings. Believing her to be an evil spirit, admittedly not helped by the state of her camp, Kauane attacked her. The creature had the ability to bend the forest to her will and used it to restrain Kauane. She was convinced the creature would kill or curse her, but when neither happened, she calmed down, and the creature let her go.
They weren't able to understand each other at first but worked together to start learning each other's languages, and Kauane learned the creature was named Krón and something called a fairy. Over time and with the help with charades, Kauane told Krón what she was doing so far from home. Krón explained that she was a great healer offered to help her people.
Kauane took Krón back to her tribe, only to find that many of the humans had died while she was away, including her father. Krón identified the illness as smallpox and had to break it to Kauane that there's no cure for the illness and that the only thing they could do was try to keep them alive until their bodies fought it off. Kauane was devastated by the news, feeling like she wasted the last months of her father's life for nothing, and took her anger out on Krón.
After she calmed down, they began the work to treat the sick. Kauane apologized for her behavior, and she and Krón cuddled by the fire. For the next two months, Kauane acted as Krón's translator while she worked to stop the spread. The disease ran its course, but the tribe was decimated. The only people that were completely unaffected were the witches. Everyone else still alive was dealing with the long-term effects of the disease. Several survivors were left blind.
One night, Krón told Kauane that she would head out in the morning to find and help the other tribes. She asked Kauane to help her. Kauane was reluctant at first, saying that not all of the tribes would be welcoming to her, but Krón convinced her, reminding her that she can't communicate with them but Kauane can and saying that the rest of the tribes could either accept her help or die.
The next day, they set out on their new mission.
Founding Amazonia[]
Despite their best efforts, the native Amazon population was decimated by the smallpox outbreak. The Europeans began killing the natives themselves. They began raiding raiding native villages, burning their homes and taking those who survived into slavery. Krón and Kauane were enraged by this. They began attacking the slaver bands, but there were hundreds of them all along the river and only two of them. They needed help.
While Krón went home to gather the Armtha Forneartne Sylvan, Kauane travelled back around to the villages that she and Krón helped, gathering forces to fight the colonizers.
