Tell me about the lovelies in broken thrones!
there’s the Braddocks, one of the main families in the wip! Adair is the king of Issera, a horrible and abusive king. Ianthe is Adair’s wife and a very sweet woman who was forced into the marriage.
Amary Braddock is the eldest of the children. her twin brother died when she was sixteen and she became a drunken mess soon after. known as the ‘Bloodhound of Feria’, she has been working to track down all those who were involved with her twin’s murder. her hands are soaked in blood and she keeps a sash with lines for every life she has taken. she feels responsible for her younger sisters and wants to protect them. the shortest of her siblings, but a force to be reckoned with. she has her father’s anger and she isn’t sure how she feels about it.
Eira Braddock is the middle daughter. she’s autistic. her days are spent bee keeping, collecting shiny rocks, tinkering with clocks, doing other little crafts, occasionally wandering the gardens with Rosar, or she goes to the library in town to spend time with her best friend crush Lumi and her cat Leaf!! she’s a sweet girl, but she worries. she hates the violence that Amary is involved in, she actually hates violence in general and wants to make peace for the land. her plan as princess is to make things peaceful for everyone!
Rosar Braddock is the youngest daughter. blind and kind, she’s an absolute sweetheart. she spends her days in the gardens, wandering around, trying to avoid her father’s wrath. in the beginning, she was his favorite, but when it was discovered that she was blind, she fell all the way to the bottom and became his punching bag. according to him, she can never do anything right. however, she stays kind. it’s her worst nightmare to become cruel and angry like him. she’s a Seer and there’s an ancient voice in her head that is her only friend besides Finlos and her sisters.
Finlos is a knight of the royal guard and Rosar’s best friend. he has a smile that can kill and a past that almost killed him. he’s been through pain, suffering, and a broken heart. still, he’s the captain of the royal guard and he stays strong for his soldiers and for Rosar. he doesn’t speak of his past, but it’s not uncommon to see him in town when he isn’t on duty, passing out money and food to the poor and needy.
Barrow Reeves is Amary’s fiance, legally and according to the king. he’s a marquess and information dealer. a kind young man who feels like he’s transparent to all. he falls in love with just about everyone he comes across. his left eye is brown the right is blue.
Marigold Reeves is Barrow’s younger sister and a spitfire. she works with him in the information dealing. a silvertongue and bright and bubbly young woman. she fell in love with Amary when they were kids. they shared a kiss, once, and then years later got her heart broken.
Lumi Rosewood is a librarian and the daughter of librarians. her best friends are her pet cat Leaf (who is the size of a lynx but acts like a housecat) and Princess Eira. she works in the library most of the time, but also takes care of the garden outside their home, and paints things she loves. she has nature magic!!
The Keeper resides in the Dark Forests of Feria and guards them and the creatures within them. a shadow creature who was once human but had that form ripped away from him at a young age but still takes the appearance of a boy with shaggy hair and soft brown eyes.
Cintu is the leader of the Shadow Wolves in the Dark Forests. he took the Keeper in as his own pup and raised him as best he could. he’s six feet tall at the shoulder and is a shadowy figure with glowing yellow eyes. a good leader and dad.
Jayah is the former queen of Issera. she has an insatiable need for power and will do anything to attain it, even if it means killing her son, which is definitely on her list of things to do. even though she grew up in a good home with good parents, she came out cruel and greedy.
Athum is the king of Issera. a man who regrets the decisions he made when he was a teenager and in his early twenties, but he doesn’t know of any other way he would’ve done things. he killed his father and overthrew his mother from the throne and banished her. he wants the fighting to end once and for all and for his people to thrive. he’s waiting for the Dragonheart, the one of legends, to come help him and his people finish this war and suffering. he has chronic pain.
Jeris is a retainer of the king and a father figure to Athum. he worked for the royal family as a horse trainer before Athum was born and took the young king in and helped him through the initial revolt against the former queen and has been at his side ever since. he has nature magic and a scar over his left eye. he was married once and has a daughter, Rialzi, who is a spitfire and holds down the fort at home with the horses.
Erihhn is a retainer of the king. he was a retainer of Athum’s father as well, but sided with Athum during the revolt. he’s a grumpy old man with a form of nature magic. he’s a very secretive man and refuses to let anyone get to know him. he has only one goal, to get back to his former position and do what he loves, but he won’t tell anyone what he used to do. grandpa-aged
Culraes is the youngest retainer of the king! he’s a brash young man who started his training at eight years old after his parents died and he lost his arm. he is after the woman who is the cause of his loss, Jayah, and he has no intention of stopping. when training, he pushes himself until he collapses. doesn’t know how to express his emotions properly.
Warin is Culraes’ adoptive father. Warin has the highest position in the desert oasis city of Aligran. he finds the wounded kids and takes them in, shows them how to use their anger to complete their goals. he definitely takes the law into his hands when needed. he’s never been married but he loves all his adoptive children more than he loves himself. fell in love with Jeris when they were teens.
Jayi is Culraes’ older adoptive sister. she’s a dragonborne and Culraes’ number one competitor. she is in charge of most of Warin’s soldiers and she commands them well. she always makes sure her soldiers are fed and tries to keep them from wasting their lives. she cut out her own eye when she was a child. she also got in a fist fight with a dragon when she was a teen.
Sazai is another adoptive child of Warin’s and she’s younger than Jayi and Culraes by a couple years. she has the appearance of a soft girl, always wearing pink and eating sweets (and anything else she can get her hands on), and she terrorizes her siblings by teasing them. however, if you present even the slightest threat to her siblings, she will rip your heart out. also, she’s the go-to torturer for Athum’s side of the war.
Tasiriti is the youngest of Warin’s adoptive children. she’s just a child (13/14) and she’s been in the midst of war before. except, she doesn’t fight. she’s a healer, but she doesn’t have the nature magic that healers usually has. she has dark magic that helps her sneak around, and she uses it when she goes out at night to heal those who need it. her hands always shake when she goes to the battlefield, but she does it because she has to heal her friends.
Lei-ya is the eldest of Warin’s adoptive children and the first one he took in. she isn’t angry, not like the three siblings in the middle, but she’s determined. she makes the plans for her siblings when they go out to battle, she can’t let them die because something wasn’t well thought out. she goes over everything multiple times before it’s allowed to be used.
Avei is the mother of all dragons, a grand dragon who loves humans, in fact, she has designated that the one who will take her power into them will be a human called the Dragonheart. she will make sure the land is saved from evil, no matter what.
Taedhe is the dragon Jayah makes a deal with. with poison breath and attitude he wants nothing more than to eat people, but he’s been hunted before and doesn’t wish to be hunted again, so he’s waiting for his time.
