What Members Thought

Onye is a child of rape known as an Ewu. They are born of lighter skin than their creators, with "freckles". They are thought to be ugly, evil or with bad intentions. They are expendable. Since they were not created out of love by a married couple of the same tribe, the mother (and child) are shunned and pushed out of their tribe. No one wanted a "disgraced person in their circle. But no one knew at the time how important this unborn child would be in the future.
