Original characters: fairies of the aether. My novel Goldenhour (working title) features two types of elemental fae-like peoples (of aether and water). These two here are of the people believed to be from the “aether”, though some also believe them to be spirits of air (they’re not telling), due to their light, airy, sometimes insubstantial nature. Their horns are symbolic manifestations of their magical power, so to see individuals with prominent horns like this means they are rather formidable.
In the world of Goldenhour, to state it as simply as possible, the human realm has long been conquered by the “fairy” realm. The fairies who have taken form in the human world have adopted human names. Top: Lysander Sorrow. Bottom: John Good. Some of them, like John, are sympathetic to humans and want to help them. Others—not so much.
