Sira/Gloomy: Housing the Gloomy persona, Princess Sira is the callous assassin raised by the organization. Being open with and fueled by the rage that Tira holds deep down, Sira can be a bitter, spiteful, hateful brat. An impatient individual, she prefers to get down and dirty in the act of murder with absolutely no fear of confrontation. Though as straightforward as she tends to be, she can be just as cunning as her sister when she feels like it. This egotistical, avarice diamond in the rough is said to hate everyone except Tira which extends to prioritizing her sister's wellbeing above all else. There are few exceptions but generally she hates in different quantities. It's clear that Sira isn't naturally gifted with her sister's endearing sweetness by default, her dominant persona being sour and aggressive even when she has good intentions. However, her devotion to her fellow beastmen undeniably shines her imperial and personal light.
Tira/Jolly traits: Housing the Jolly persona, Princess Tira is the more exuberant and perky of the two. Ever so friendly, she's usually the first to speak and has an easier time forming bonds with others despite being taught not to. She embraces the inner child that she and Sira were forced to give up during their time in the organization, an especially misleading tactic until it's too late to realize her murderous intent. Her fun-loving nature extends to her preferred method to kill, toying with her prey until she's ready to finish them off. Service with a smile, as they say! She tends to be carefree, preferring to keep the mood light and upbeat. Being the sweeter twin, she'll easily express and initiate affectionately tender actions especially towards anyone she trusts. Due to this trust however, she's easier to hurt emotionally if betrayed or abandoned. Like her sister, Tira has a heart for the beast-men of the world which raises a few eyebrows.
Both: The Imperial Princesses were born and bred to be versatile and charismatic in preparation for their rule as Urvogels, a position they've earned due to their unsurpassed skills in combat. Ruthless and sadistic, they derive demented amusement from the suffering of their victims due to their upbringing. As impulsive and manic as they are, their lethal addiction to killing can be both a blessing and a curse. Their unpredictability and volatile mood swings may have caused some accidents and sometimes they even bicker, but the two have such substantial value that doing away with them would be unwise.
They're rebellious and opportunistic by nature, manipulating people and orchestrating events to work in their favor for any plan or whim. Coupled with unlimited determination and willpower, these two are a force to be reckoned with. Because of their upbringing, it's not unheard of to catch sight of Sira and Tira together off the field or to overhear them bantering and praising each other during a fight. They're more close-knit than normal identical twins. Despite being polar opposites in their dominant personas, they don't consider themselves to be individuals and don't show displeasure at being treated as part of a matching set. Because of this encouraged codependency, it's impossible to turn them against each other and the offender, without debate, will receive the beat-down of a millennium for even trying.
As elusive as they come, Sira and Tira are difficult to get to know beyond their appearance or what they willingly reveal. They don't nest in one place for too long, and don't tell their friends when they leave or where they're going, only to reappear unannounced as if they weren't just gone for a month or so. Both sisters aren't very fond of the human-dominated society, lacking empathy for humanity at large. It didn't take long for them to despise humans who are normal, innocent, or "goody-goody", showing a prideful hatred for - what they believe is - patronizing kindness.
Despite this, they can be loyal and protective only to those they deem worthy. Zoanthropes and other beast-men seem to automatically be worth their time, generally valuing their happiness over human life. Otherwise, they're extremely selective and picky about potential friends. They usually get along with people who share their murder hobby, take pleasure in fighting, or simply those who are fellow outcasts, weirdos, and misfits regardless. Bonus points if these people are non-human. However, forging and maintaining a bond with them isn't for the feint of heart. If anyone's considered as a flockmate, Sira and Tira would go to hell and back for them with such intensity that there'll be no doubt of their devotion.
On the downside, they're ironically cat-like; possessive, clingy, and needy for attention from whoever they wish to merge with. Although both twins are rather "on my terms" when it comes to affection and invading someone's personal space, Sira views the act of bonding as a weakness, and yet she occasionally falls for the trap of becoming attached to someone. She doesn't consciously initiate affection and usually attacks viciously when receiving...unless the other person is special to her. Thankfully, Tira's more lax and won't automatically attack when faced with affection. The only exception is if she's clearly distressed or when someone persists while she simply doesn't want it, though this is very rare.
Either way, they're both mistrustful of outsiders who try to involve themselves in their established circle, making it crystal clear that their friends are theirs and sharing is out of the question. Growing up lonely and lost, with their own set of trust issues, an 'off-switch' for this was never developed. Buried deep inside lies a certain sadness about them. A sadness that flows into a subconscious desire for companionship and love; to be wanted and needed for who they are. It wouldn't be wise to point this out. Touching this taboo would only be met with ire and anathema to the unfortunate soul who foolishly dares to voice it within earshot.
