ClickPersonality: Jake is about as sweet as a razor, in truth, but she does a good job of 'playing human.' Sometimes she gets confused about who she really is--actually, she gets confused about it a lot. Angsty-and-scary-but-actually-nice teenage rebel or angsty, angry, violent and complicated-with-a-god-complex monster? Somewhere in between seems most likely. "Complicated" would be the most accurate description of the occasionally bipolar(oxymoron much?) and only slightly sane creature. For example, although she allows people to believe she is the age she appears to be--or around that age at least--she never once said that she was actually 19. In following with old fae legends and traditions, Jake does not lie. Whether or not she "can't" is hard to say, but it is true that, at the very least, she's never been caught in a lie. Being an old creature, Jake also doesn't use her real name--or any variation thereof. Her name, which could in theory be used to control her, is a secret kept better than anything in the CIA.
Jake generally talks in a drawl with a faint Spanish accent, but when she loses her temper she reverts to an Irish or French accent, depending on just how mad she is. Sometimes she even speaks Celtic or French.
History: Jake was born in Ireland long, long,
long ago. She spent a great deal of time there, centuries passing by as she slept and ate and basked. But her lake became too infamous and humans too arrogant so she was forced to move, then move again and again and again until she somehow wound up in London, fleeing from the land of her birth. She thrived once again in France, but wound up with a curse--a curse that forced her to love humans. By the time the spell wore off and the witch died, Jake found herself bound by love for a young knight that thought her only a horse. This night was killed, as so many knights were, and for a long while Jake isolated herself and hated humans. She wandered again, aimlessly, and wound up in North America where people knew what they ought fear. Once again she claimed a lake and generally ignored the humans, save for the ones she fed on. This lasted for several centuries again, until the world began to die. She wouldn't have helped at all, really, if they hadn't asked it. The people near her lake apparently had legends about her, about her being the "spirit of the lake" and some useless nonsense about her being their protector, since she apparently had been in the habit of eating people that would have been harmful to them. They made a contract with her, though they didn't know it, and she noticed that one of the men acted and awful lot like her knight so she helped defend the country. She should have stayed hidden; they never would have found her, or at least not for a while. Jake was one of the first to be captured, to be taken in and experimented on. They fed her hearts and livers and thought she died; they buried her and she escaped through a water pipe. She woke up with Hino crouched beside her, smiling. Indebted to the phoenix, Jake swore to save her life in return. She has done that twice now, but too indirectly for Jake's taste so she follows her still.

I know of kelpies, so some of it will probably be wrong--but I'm also twisting it just a tad so that Jake can be more...benevolent.

ClickPersonality: Hino is just downright chipper. She's rather relentlessly happy and optimistic. The sort of person who could find an upside to being buried alive in a coffin full of snakes and firecrackers. She has a serious side, buried under all those smiles, which generally shows itself in her tendency to stare off into space and zone in and out for long periods of time. Despite all her sugary sweetness, Hino is no coward--it's just that, when she stands up to someone, she does it in a way that they generally don't realize she is. She's a pacifist through-and-through. Even in the war she didn't kill anyone, though she did help. She just ate their gunpowder while they were sleeping and blew things up. She may have inadvertently caused a few deaths, but never on purpose.
History: Hino has a rather lonely past. She spent most of her life in volcanoes and desserts and wastelands where she could accidentally destroy anything. It was just by chance that she happened to find Jake. Or more, Mugi found Jake. The flighty little creature happened upon the kelpie while off on one of its usual forays. Mugi rarely stays in one place for very long, or with the same person, but he's been with--around--Hino for most of this life cycle, apparently having taken a liking to the fluffy little chick who followed around anything that happened by her and sneezed out clouds of ash or little burps of fire at just the right moment. He brought Hino to Jake then left; he warned them, months later, when the school was going to bring them in, but it was already too late. Besides, there aren't so many places to run, really.

Other: Her name is Japanese for "bird of fire." Yup. Super creative, I know.
Aand...There's...actually a lot more to her personality and history that I just...couldn't remember. Same with Jake. Eheh.
