LB:RR (Re-Write): Lukamakari, Queen and Guardian of Evagren

Or dear Lukamakari is not only the great Queen and Guardian of Evagren, but she is like a step-mother to Lirin when he shows up on her island as a wolf, with a bloody, scarred face and a lost mind.
Lukamakari takes to him at once when she hears both his first and last name, as she knows he is the direct descendant of Lyrun Bahonan, the land's previous hero two thousand years ago, whom she was quite close with since he was the only one who could tame her. She also tells Lirin a whole bunch of stuff after that, but that would probably be spoilers.
Lukamakari is obviously not human; no one knows what she is, other than Lukamakari, a Guardian. She resembles that of a lioness or panther, a plant, a reptile, and possibly a dog, all mixed together. She's green, with two long antennas coming from the back of her head, with pink flowers at the end, thinner than, but identical to, her two tails.
She has red and orange fins on her back, shoulders, hips and below ears. In fact, the ones below her ears ARE ears! They hide a pair of holes behind them, and above them are her pointed, leaf-like ears that are shaped like a wolf's almost. In short, she has two pairs of ears, and no one really knows why.
Her eyes are green, and have pink-and-black markings around them. Another thing you should know is that Lukamakari is VERY muscular, and VERY fast. Her teeth are also so long that her lips can't completely cover them, so, often, when she licks the moisture back into them, her lower canines get hooked onto her lover lip, and it's really funny. Lukamakari also has a fatally venomous bite and can blind you with the pollen stored in the flowers on her tails and antennas.
Lukamakari is a rather intriguing creature and has an unusual speaking-style, where 'you' is 'ye' and 'the' is 'da', 'that' is 'dat', and so on. Here's an unusual quote of hers for an example: 
"Ye would live longer if ye'd look b'fore ye ate..."
...That's her talking to Lirin. She cleans up the beach after hurricanes by eating all of the rubbage lying about and hocking up up somewhere else as mush. She wanted Lirin to help her, but Lirin ate one bitter leaf and immediately spat it back up, and that was where the quote came in.

So, that's Lukamakari. She appears more in the story later on after he leaves the island, too...
