these guys are technically on my toyhouse but I never remember to update it and not everyone uses toyhouse. Also some of these characters don’t even have refs/blurbs yet, so quick primer on my extended puyo fan universe freaks (based mostly on the aruka civilization from fever 2)
Amalthea (she/her): the “”proto-Amitie””. Unfortunately I don’t have too much of her personality fleshed out but she’s a healer that’s part of a family of religious leaders in Aruka. her family are considered to be descendants of the moon goddess that the people in Aruka worship, so they’re highly revered, especially the women. Her expertise in primarily in star-charting (like navigating on open seas) and medicine. She’s refined and well-behaved when she needs to be, but she secretly wants to leave Aruka and explore the world and has a bit of a rebellious streak that her family does their best to cover up. She’s an only child. she’s friends with Seire which leads to the primary conflict of the story. She’s expected to act like a leader for her people, but doesn’t feel ready for the task. She died after summoning a tidal wave to wipe out the town as revenge for what happened to Seire.
Arelate (she/he): Amalthea’s childhood friend from one of the 3 leading clans of Aruka, while she used to be much more of a tomboy in childhood, she now acts as Amalthea’s personal attendant, spokesperson, and bodyguard on occasion. She’s adjusted better to the expectations set on her by her family and society, so she’s more mild-mannered on the surface, but she feels really badly for Amalthea who doesn’t feel equipped to take on the work that’s expected of her. She deals with political goings-on that Amalthea doesn’t want to deal with herself. Since her family were traditionally warriors, she is also skilled in hand-to-hand and magical combat. She’s the one that managed to save the townspeople from Amalthea’s tidal wave, but wasn’t able to save her own friend. She goes on to become Arle’s greatmother in the future.
Penumbra (she/her): The retired head of one of the major clans of Aruka, she was a gifted engineer and architect and has two children: Tempo and Sonata. She was responsible for many of the technological advancements in Aruka, but she retired after creating the magic that is used in tome of sealing as she felt that it would do nothing but bring harm and misfortune upon the town. She lived out the rest of her days quietly, but died shortly before Seire’s sealing, the secrets of the magic behind the tome died with her.
Tempo (he/they): Penumbra’s son and the elder sibling. A talented woodworker and dark magician, but harbored a deep resentment for demonkind after they scarred his mother’s eye and killed his father. A brooding young man who tended to keep to himself, he was deeply suspicious of Seire and secretly kept records of his mother’s magic research even when she intended to destroy all of it. He fled Aruka shortly before the tsunami that wiped them out, taking the 3 unsealing items with him, despite promising to give the last one over to his sister Sonata. Their relationship ended up being strained for a long time, but he went on to become a successful dark mage and is the ancestor of Lemres’ family.
Seire (they/it): A demon from across the sea that settled on the offskirts of Aruka. A recluse who’s wandered the world, they’re rather frightened of humans and seem to have a reptuation of being scarier than they seem (it’s really just the eyespots on their wings making them look larger than they really are). They are friends with Amalthea as she was one of the only people to reach out to them around the time they settled, and they were happy to impart their traveling experiences with someone that had never set food outside of Aruka. Half of their soul was eventually sealed into the tome of sealing and their body remained, forming Sig and Aya as we know them now.
Sonata (she/her): Penumbra’s daughter and the younger sibling. A talented songstress that studied all sorts of magic. A kind woman with an eccentric streak. She learned various demon languages in order to better communicate with them, and while Penumbra encouraged this, Tempo deeply disapproved of it especially after what happened to their father. She believes strongly in kindness, but it got the better of her when she placed too much trust in her brother. She and Weiss managed to escape Aruka but did not go with Arelate to an alternate dimension; rather she and Weiss ended up moving to the area that would later become Primp Town and they settled there together. Sonata founded a school in the area and she is Accord’s predecessor.
Weiss (they/him): A standoffish bookbinder and bookseller that set up shop in Aruka a few years ago. As an outsider, the town looks upon them with a bit of suspicion, and their irreverence for Arukan customs doesn’t really help their case. They’re acquainted with Seire as they’re the only merchant willing to make deals with them.
