Tiwa is the number one mii, so this is going to be the lenghtiest entry for any of the residents. He's gone through a looooong series of versions, starting as Taruru from Sgt. Frog. Who I roleplayed as on deviantart.com from the ages of 12 to 17.
Yes, one of the minor minor background side characters from the frog anime.
Here is the ID I made for the roleplaying group, since every member needed one of these. I'm including this screenshot because I feel like it really encapsulates how long ago this was. (Again, this was 2009. I was 12. And unfortunately I don't know whose body image I used...)
Nonetheless, I loved him with all my heart. He was the perfect vessel for me to develop my art... and also to explore some things with gender, if we're being perfectly honest. Being able to spend my teenage years pretending to be a young man might have done something for me. Who's to say! Either way, I had a lot of fun roleplaying as Taruru during those years.
The following are a small sampling of drawings I did of him during that time period.

I soon commandeered him as my go-to character (he is where the "Taru" comes from in Tarufai), and when I got my first 3DS back in 2012, I made Taruru my main mii for Street Pass Mii Plaza. But they didn't have blue hair as an option for miis at the time, so I went with gray.
A few years layer, one of my all time favorite games was released: Miitopia. Taruru was of course my main hero for that game.
Around this time, myself and one other person from the RP group days had been talking about repurposing our Sgt Frog characters into original ones. Taruru was given the name Tiwa.
My friend played Kagege, who was also repurposed into the original character named Kauvl. More on him later...
Anyway, Tiwa was given a new life and a new name and I could play with him to my heart's content and make him all my own. And even all these many years later, he is still my first pick when it comes time to play a game that uses miis. So here is Tiwa, the first and most important resident of Tarufai Island.
