Gumimi

Gumimi is a minor character, appearing sevearl times in the series and most recently in The Past Has a Past, Too. He is Chunini and Kodada's father, and the husband of Junene. He was a career military man with a definitive mean streak, often taking out his anger on his daughters and wife. He showed little affection to either, and seemed only truly happy when involved in his work. Among his assignments was the destruction of the Sankaku tribe.

He held no secret of his resentment to Chunini especially, given she was the only one to continually stand up to him. He eventually disowns her and cuts her off from the family when he learns of her singing and her relationship with Eriri.

The source of Gumimi's anger at first is hinted at when Mahihi mentions him having a reputation around camp. Rokiki witnesses this reputation first-hand, when Gumimi makes a pass at him. Kodada later finds out about her father's secret, and uses it against him in order to get him to leave Chunini alone.

By the end of The Past Has a Past Too he is found to have become divorced from his wife, the disappearance of both of thier children finally snapping the marriage. He has also gotten a limp since the divorce, sighting an injury given to him by his now ex-wife. He has left the military by the end, and has moved with with an unnamed younger male Keronian, giving some speculation that he might be attempting to finally live his life as he always had wanted.
