[ NZA ] wellington | nyo!wellington

ahh my two nz city bbys

anyway, nyo!Wellington' s name is Tara Allen. Tara comes from Wellington's Māori name, "Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara," and her last name Allen is after the wellingtonian feminist & politician Lettie Annie Ellen. Tara is Māori. 

While Nicholas (original wellington) represents the lifestyle, creativity & landmarks of the city, Tara represents the political side. Her "crown" headpiece represents mount Victoria. The headpiece design was inspired by a crown, since the mountain was named after Queen Victoria. Her golden badge on her left side is the beehive (parliament building.) 

(i'll post a detailed description of her later))
