K, posting my charries here, so they're on the thread.
Name: Crown Princess Nahra Fahlsing, Fraya Yng of Nine Feathers – Princess of the High Crown of Gaahalo Prophesized within the Diadem (The religious accounts of dragons and their existence) to be known as the reincarnated Goddess Ionna -
Dragonsong and mother of all Dragons. She is a
Cwen, one who is born of flesh and scale – a
Dragonchild.
(The dragon with her in the image is actually her shifted form. If she becomes a darkened soul, the color of the dragon will turn black and her hair will turn white.)
Race: Half-Elf (Cwen/Elf)
Age: About to celebrate her 100th birthday. (Looks to be around 20 in human years)
Hair/Eyes: Black hair / Sapphire eyes
Personality: Nahra is happy. Mild euphoria to infectious joy, she ranges through them all on a daily basis. The young princess loves, truly loves, almost anyone – which is her greatest skill and her greatest weakness. She can empathize with a cousin, a brother, a sister, a parent, a mentor, a rival, an enemy, especially an enemy. How can one fight someone, without loving them? Nothing lays beneath... no hidden persona, no alter ego; Nahra wears her soul on her sleeves. And yet... in some circles... she'd be labeled amoral, a borderline sociopath. You see... Nahra has an odd outlook on death. Death is never an ending... only another adventure, another phase of endless, eternal consciousness; so why should she hesitate in pushing anyone through that doorway?
There is a thirst in her young soul, a violent, kinetic, ever shifting thing, powerful, unstoppable, yet indefinable; a thirst that screams make love AND war. This is the dragon blood talking, of course, but such thoughts are odd in royal circles. Most just brush her cheery twisted behavior off as the absentminded thoughts of a sheltered princess. Others can't wait to see her command an army. Nevertheless, Nahra unknowingly holds an absurd amount of strength within that delicate frame; couple that with an overwhelming desire to use it, and you've got a dangerous and extremely unpredictable ally…or opponent.
Bio: Nahra is the youngest of two half sisters. She was always considered a sickly child due to her skin being different than most (she actually has a very faint scale-like pattern down the backs of her thighs and upper arms, her shoulders, spine and neck), but her mother knew that she was a Cwen and managed to protect her daughter from the ridicules of being different.
Regardless of this, the Queen wondered why Nahra was so different than other Cwen she knew of. When the Sufas (Master Mages) proved that she was the Ionna prophesied from the Dragon Diadem, her worries and wonder only grew more and more.
Keeping this knowledge from all others, the Queen did all she could to cultivate Nahra's gifts without stirring attention to her. She knew the time would come for her to do what she's destined to do, but keeping such a spirited young girl in the dark about her true calling is very difficult when she rather play and romp around in the fields instead of hiding behind the castle walls. Queen Hadaio watched Nahra like a hawk, never allowing her to leave her sight as she grew to become a beautiful young lady. For she knew what was coming – and feared failing.
Weapon(s) of Choice: bow/arrow, throwing daggers, claw & chain
Name: Queen Hadaio Fahlsing, Dirixa of Nine Feathers – Ruler of the High Crown on Gaahalo
Race: Elf
Age: 320 yrs old (Looks to be around 38 in human years)
Hair/Eyes: Black Hair / Blue eyes
Personality: Strict; yet, fair.
Bio: Wife of the late Elven King Seaiger Fahlsing, she'd given him a daughter before his death. She ruled her kingdom alone for the longest, but with the danger of losing her successor for her daughter might eventually marry into another kingdom rather than remaining in Gaahalo to rule, Queen Hadaio prepared herself to marry once again to another potential suitor. But, before she was wed to another Elven Lord, she was abducted by a Dragon.
Living with the Dragon King wasn't what she had in mind, but when she realized she was expecting, she knew she could no longer return to her home. Nevertheless, she was rescued; thus, kept her secret about who impregnated her. Instead of announcing the Dragon King, for all consider dragons to be the enemy of humanity, she held her tongue and named an unknown Lord who she stated she killed in order to save herself.
Although this arrangement with The Dragon King was not a lifelong one, they did bless the world with a blessed Cwens, a daughter.
The Prophecy is not a blessing to her, for it places her youngest at the mercy of fate. She fears this coming, and attempted to keep her baby girl safe from practically everyone - almost to the point of non-existent. Still, all her hard work just didn't work. Nahra was just too high-sprung to keep indoors. And soon, it was known to all that the Diadem of the Dragons was right once again - the Dragonsong breaths.
With the aid of her oldest daughter Celesta, The Dragon Lord Sarthath, and heroes of her realm and beyond; Queen Hadaio fights for her child's life and the life of their entire world.
Weapon(s) of Choice: Dual Blades (Are given to Nahra upon the queen's death, when she takes position as the new queen.)
((Celesta and Koven - Soul Lynx))
Name: Princess Celesta Fahlsing, Fraya Yng of Nine Feathers – Princess of the High Crown of Gaahalo,
General of the royal Warmages.
Race: Elf
Age: 186 (Around 24 in human years)
Hair/Eyes: Black hair / Blue eyes
Personality: Basically a bit cold and distant from family and friends. She has a job to do and nothing's going to deter her from it. Koven is honestly the one she cares to talk to, but he's a portion of her very soul. No wonder they get along so well.
Bio: Celesta was taken by her father, the late King Seaiger Fahlsing, at an early age to learn the ways of running a kingdom. Since he was son-less, he claimed his only daughter as his heir and trained her in combat, politics, and worldly knowledge in order to create the perfect successor before his untimely death. She stands by her mother's side as the Queens' Warmage General, and regardless of how jealous she tends to get whenever all attention is on her weak half baby sister, Nahra, Celesta would go through great lengths to keep her safe and sound. The one thing Celesta doesn't wish to do is break her mother's heart. She works around the clock to protect her sister, their kingdom, and personally seeks the whereabouts of the
Blade of Shade - the weapon stated in the Diadem as
the end of the Dragon's song.
Weapon(s) of Choice: Bow/Arrow &
The Mercury Blade; forged mystically by manipulating physical properties of the element mercury. At first, seems too blunt, too coarse, too pretty to be a sword the way it gleamed; but when Celesta grasps its hilt and connects her inner spirit to it, the blade ignites on fire to a shining liquid silver and elongate a few feet. There are side effects for her usage of this weapon. Since it awakens through her spirit - her energy, emotions, and physical strength affect the outcome of its power. Celesta must maintain total concentration in order to properly and successfully wield this weapon.
Animal Guardian: Koven, the Soul Lynx
He first came to her in a dream when she was the human equivalent age of 14. In the mist of storms and hellfire, she heard an eerie chorus of harmonizing growls. Before she could block it out of memory, she saw the eyes of this Soul Lynx, and a voice speaking without words expressed for her to call to him whenever needed.
She never gained a name.
When she had become a Warmage at the equivalent human age of 18, she suffered heavy wounds during the battle for Argyris Lahti. Celesta called a name, one she felt she's heard before, for she felt her life slipping away. Koven appeared before her eyes, granting her renewed life, strength, and protection. And they've been inseparable since.
Koven is a shifter, one who can alter his animal form to that of a human. In his human form, he acts as the Guardian of the Fahlsings' household; tutoring, monitoring, and basically maintaining the sibling's responsibilities, duties and household staff during the day. But regardless of what form he's in, he still behaves normally like any lynx would, except sometimes he acts calculating and slick, especially when he stalks. He is a great Guardian, a sassy one at that, and is a natural soothsayer. No one knows how or why this Guardian chooses Celesta, but with his aid, she has become a powerhouse of a leader, and with his guidance, has taught Nahra how to harness her strength without knowing it's even there.
