Eetu grew up with a family that placed great importance on quietness, conformity, and tradition - even more so than other Aranahe. Feeling stifled, he found his freedom during hunts in the forest. Eetu devoted himself to hunting and spending as much time outside of Hometree as he could, searching for excitement and adventure.

Growing up, he became close friends with Etuwa as they shared the same rebellious streak. As an adult, he is a natural ally in her fight against the RDA. As a great hunter, Eetu brings honor to his family. However, he frames his boredom with communal life as bravery and a willingness to put himself in danger to protect the clan.
