MONSTER AUS ARE ONE OF MY FAVOURITES HERE WE GO
(there might be a little bit of overlap w/ fantasy aus too whoops)
lisette is a clockwork automaton! she sometimes has to perform repairs on herself and has a big empty cavity in her chest that she uses as a toolbox. she also makes a faint ticking noise all the time, which makes sense cause. clockwork.
chouko is a hamadryad, a tree spirit that’s connected to a specific tree. if that tree gets hurt or dies, so does chouko. i’m not entirely sure what sort of tree she is but?? do not touch her tree or any of the other trees in that forest she will FIGHT you
kaiyo’s a pixie but like... one of the nasty ones that tends to screw around with humans. play tricks on them. stuff like that. she’s not always malicious, though - it’s just kinda... in her nature. she is so small, though, tiny, tiny kaiyo.
riku is basically a zombie?? like... a reanimated corpse. he is adjusting surprisingly well and cheerfully to being dead, even though he sometimes falls apart.
takara’s still a changeling! she has all the weaknesses to iron, salt, etc. that fairies tend to have and she... basically tries to hide that fact that she isn’t human as much as possible because she very much wants to be Normal and to Fit In.
