In order of the picture, we have Nico, Bratharim, Kithleen, Huave, Röwel, Stala, Austieri, and Dramus.
In order of who is most important: Stala, Huave, Röwel, Dramus, Austieri, Bratharim, Kithleen, Nico.
Stala: Stala is a 19-year-old college student studying Fine Arts. She lives with her adoptive parents and adoptive sister. During the events of book 1, Dreams of Warfare, she is taken to a mysterious and magical place called Aroma, which is on the edge of a Civil War. All she wants to do is leave, as she swore she wanted nothing more to do with her birth family.
Huave: Huave is a 21-year-old Marvroklian Lord of the Northern State, the youngest ever elected. He was heading to his sister's place on Earth when he attempted to rescue Stala from Dramus, but ultimately failed, a curse being placed on him to where no one can understand him. He swore to Stala that she would return home safely, and he will keep that promise no matter what.
Röwel: Röwel is a 26-year-old half-Elf, half Marvroklian Beast Tamer. He grew up alongside Huave, and was the one to rescue the two from Dramus once he took them into Aroma. He is one of the few who can understand Stala, as English is not a language commonly spoken in these strange, new lands.
Dramus: Dramus is THE Big Bad. He's a 42-year-old Teao, ex-lord, in fact, and he is the one pushing the country to go to war. He believes that within the war, the Teao will rise victorious, despite their naturally peaceful nature. He's constantly on the hunt for the Lost Princess, and he'll force her to unlease the chaotic magics of the land if he ever manages to capture her.
Austieri: Austieri is a 156-year-old Wood Elf who lives with his partner-in-crime and best friend, Bratharim. He is Röwel's father, and while he doesn't like that his son has chosen such a dangerous career, he will support him to the end. He was the one who found Kithleen when she went missing, and the one to raise awareness of Prince Nicolas's disappearance.
Bratharim: Bratharim is a 213-year-old Dwarf who lives with his best friend and partner-in-crime, Austieri. He was blinded by a young age by human raiders and has become quite adept at seeing through magical means, often being able to tell when something or someone is an illusion. He doesn't seem to like Stala much for some reason.
Kithleen: Kithleen is a 19-year-old Baker turned Noble. She was born the exact day, time, and year as the Lost Princess, and for the first four years, was raised alongside her as her body double and Soul Twin, for the two look identical in all ways. She was kept in the Palace of Past Tears when the Princess went missing, and has since been spotted running around in the wilderness of the Mid-State.
Nico: Nico is a 17-year-old Teao. He has always been a bit of an unknown. No one, even him, really knows where he came from, only that one day, he woke up with dragon scales up his arm and across his face, and a strange craving to stand in the sun as the waves crash upon the shore. He is, quite possibly, the biggest ally the books have ever seen.
Nico, as of right now, currently has the least pull when it comes to influencing the story within the First Book, as does Kithleen, but they are important enough for me to add them to the "Main Characters" list as they appear quite a bit. Secondary Characters will be introduced slowly, as there are quite a bit!
Oh yeah, yesterday's restringing of Saiyuri and Fanuel was wrought with dramus btw. That mark on my thumb? That's when, while pulling hand elastic through far enough to get the S-hook latched, said S-hook slipped off the hand, imbed itself into the tip of my thumb and then proceed to try and pull my thumb into the arm hole because the elastic tension was that tight. I'm glad I had my needle nose pliers nearby because I barely had enough time to reach in and plier grab onto the elastics before the S-hook ripped all the way through my thumb and even then, I almost couldn't because of the pull. To say it hurts is an understatement, especially after having to wrench the S-hook free and then *just in case* douse my thumb in rubbing alcohol because Fanuel's S-hooks are ancient 😑 I swear that snark beast hates me, it's not the first time he's tried to take a piece of me with him when I'm trying to do cleaning or maintenance on him. One of these days Fanuel, one of these days I'm just going to leave you in pieces, displayed in a damn box if you keep trying to take me out when I'm putting you together, I mean it 😤 (also look at my Lady, she doesn't want to lay next to me on the couch because warm, so she's sprawled on her bed and I have both the Towering Inferno blowing Hot Daniel Jr.'s cool air her way and Therma (Hepa air filter) on high nearby 😙#firstworldproblems #dollwoes #mydolls #dramus #fanuel #wantstotakemeout #iswearit #injuries #itwasntfun #stillhurts #alot #likecrayalot #mylifewithmister #love
