Creating Arcana MC is a great fun and good character design practice :) I had them in my head for quite a while. And I felt like doodling animals so I added their familiars. Ok, let me give you short descriptions:
Asra's route: Lena (knowledge seeking, extroverted traveler from slavic lands) and her familiar Perun (squirrel)
Nadia's: Samira (thrifty shopkeeper with passion for traditional dance) and Rabi'a (tiger)
Julian's: René (son of wealthy merchants, skilled with numbers and poetry) and Scout (yes, he was named after Scout from Arcana realm)
Muriel's: Dagný (shy witch from a little fishing village far in the South) and Freya (lynx)
Portia's: Basim (cheerful camel merchant from a nomad tribe) and Farah (nightingale)
Lucio's: Carmen (fiery fortune teller raised by an old fortune teller) and Dalia (rabbit)
Sorry for the long post, if you have questions, shoot :D
