Kaiwhekea maintains upward body angle when falling back into water after jumping
Description
When Kaiwhekea jumps out of the water, its body appears to remain in the same upward facing orientation from the initial leap instead of transitioning smoothly into the diving animation as it begins to fall back toward the water

Outcomes
Observed Result
As Kaiwhekea leaves the water and reaches the falling portion of the jump, its body remains stiff and pointed almost straight upward. It does not appear to tilt its body forward to face the water again as it descends. This makes the transition from jumping out of the water to re-entering it look unnatural and as though the diving animation or body rotation is not playing correctly
Expected Result
When Kaiwhekea jumps out of the water and begins falling back toward it, its body should smoothly rotate forward into the appropriate diving orientation. The animation should transition naturally from the upward leap into the descent, rather than remaining stiff and pointed toward the sky.
Steps to Reproduce
Use Kaiwhekea’s Lunge out of water ability to leap above the water’s surface.
Observe Kaiwhekea’s body orientation as it reaches the peak of the jump and begins falling back toward the water
Observe whether Kaiwhekea’s body rotates forward into the diving orientation or remains stiff and pointed upward during the descent
