Lazarus - Friend
My friend and partner we work together to protect and defend those who we are charged to protect, or those who need our help. I look up to him and wish to be somewhat like him someday, and I also wish to receive the same respect he does. I am also jealous of him, everyone shows him such great respect, he is always so focused no matter what, nothing fazes him. Everyone looks up to him as a hero, at least from my perspective. I don't think he notices, he is always too focused to ever notice how everyone looks up to him. I guess in a way that also makes him so humble which only makes me even more jealous, but he is also closest friend, so I put my jealousy aside and only want to show him my best. I will work my way up to his level instead of sulking about it.Sakari - Crush
She is so serious and hard-working, and yet she seems to have fun or enjoy herself, especially with her tokotas. Always exploring and showing her tokotas and showing them affection. Her skills in survival are impressive and she is definitely not weak which really draws me to her. She can be picky with men though making me nervous to ask her out, but I really wish to. I am hoping to ask her out soon, I just need to get the courage to face her, even if she does say no.Reihai - Co-worker/Friend
He is one of our co-workers, me and Lazarus work with him on occasion especially on larger jobs. I don't get along with him as well as I do Lazarus, but I do still get along with him. I'll be honest though, I am suspicious of him as I often wonder if he has his eyes on Sakari too, but I never mention it. We are both quiet and often times will sit there for a while before speaking, but saying I have actually seen him smile I know he considers me a friend as well and trusts me which is good. He rarely smiles for others he has no feelings at all towards as in friendship, love, or other similar feelings.
Describe yourself to me.
I am a young man, light colored skin with claw like hands. The tips of my claws are a deep indigo along with the three sets of wings that allow me to fly, totaling six wings. I have two small horns on my head, indigo with gold tips. I have an indigo marking on my shoulder like a sun and my eyes are also indigo. My hair is golden blond and go down to my shoulders where I like to keep it. I normally wear an indigo top with gold colored lining, a light blue belt with golden ends. My leggings are tan in color and the bottom edges are indigo. I have two halos floating over my head, the bottom one being silver, and the top slightly smaller being gold.
I am someone who tries to be hardworking and friendly, I just want to protect and respect the rights of all. I like to learn and can be determined to. I am a protector and guardian and will do my job to the best of my abilities to keep the innocent safe.
What do you consider are your strengths?
My inquisitive nature would be a strength as I am always open to learning new skills to keep others and myself safe from harm. I take the time to learn and practice and so I always improve in my skills and techniques. Being determined can be a strength in a tough fight, especially when we haven't gotten all the citizens away, I can't give up when there are still innocent people in the line of danger. My ability to sense when people are in danger right before it happens, it allows us a few moments to get there and also prevents us from missing something that could end horribly for an innocent person or multiple people.
What do you consider are your weaknesses?
My determination can get the best of me when I am in a situation where it might be best to turn back and to leave it up to someone else, but I am so determined to beat them and protect people that I don't always stop there. My large clawed hands and the small horns on my head can make innocent people, or the people I am trying to protect, afraid of me which can be a problem in that they will not cooperate or will see me as an enemy, preventing me from being efficient in protecting them. My quiet nature can be troublesome as it makes it hard for me to communicate with others, especially about important things or to calm them down if I need to.
What is one physical attribute you are proud of?
My wings, I love my wings and the freedom they give me, as well as they look majestic and can make me look bigger and more menacing then I am when I have them all out! Or smaller, I have been told they sometimes make me look smaller, but that is not a bad thing with these big hands of mine.
What one physical attribute would you change?
My large hands, they are huge and they are clawed, of course I hate when some fear me because of them, especially children. I don't want them to see me as a threat, I want to protect them and I want others to know they are safe with me and that I will fight my hardest to keep them safe and alive.
What do you consider your special talent?
Being able to sense when someone is in trouble, like a sixth sense, a danger sense if you will. I would say that is a special talent since very few can do such a thing.
What do you wish your special talent was?
What I wish my talent was... I wish my talent was the ability to be strong and wise, maybe even wise enough to make my hands less scary then they are and strong enough to defeat any evil foe that dares to face me and my partner.
What's the worst thing you've ever done? Why?
Well, I have had to kill before. I would much rather take them in to be judged, but sometimes killing is necessary if there is no other way to stop the enemy. I hate that there are enemies so strong that we are forced to kill them instead of arrest them, but I will put the safety of the people over my feelings about this.
What are you most afraid of?
Not being able to protect those closest to me like Lazarus or Sakari. Lazarus is like a brother to me, and even though I am not with Sakari, I still feel affection for her. I would hate for something to happen to her before I ever get the chance to ask her out, or maybe ask her to be mine.
Is one sense more highly developed than another?
My sense to tell when people are in danger is more highly developed then any other, especially more then my sense of touch which has been slightly numbed from the amount of fighting I have done. My sight might also be more developed as I am always reading my enemies movements and muscles, making my eyes attuned to picking out small details others might not see.
Did you turn out the way you expected? The way your parents predicted?
Well, I have no parents to really predict what I would have turned out like. My predictions though have somewhat come true, I wanted to be a good protector, and I have but really only with the help of Lazarus. I wanted to become a good man, and I feel I have, but I also feel like I still have work to do before I can become the man I wished to become.How do you feel about your family, now that you’re an adult?
I do not really have a family, I was not born like a normal human. Really, my only family is Lazarus, he is like a brother to me and so I guess I will share how I feel about him even though I already have. I love him like a brother, I would want to protect him and have his back but I am jealous of him for certain things.
In your relationship with others, how are you different with family than you are with friends? Why?
I do tend to be more quiet or reserved around friends more so then I am around Lazarus, though less so then I am around strangers, but I don't have too many friends so who knows, this may just be towards the few friends I do have right now.
How do you fall in love? At first sight? Over a long period?
With Sakari I guess it was love at first sight since I have never really gotten to know her or seen her much, but I feel like I am already in love with her. So I guess I can say I fell in love at first sight.
What parts of loving come easy for you? Hard?
Performing acts of service is probably one of the easiest ways of showing my love, very closely tied with quality time. I think words of affirmation as well as physical touch such as hugs, kisses or even just like massaging their back after a hard day are challenging for me with my unusual hands and numbed sense of touch. I can work hard though to keep them provided and help them with anything they need though, and also can just spend time with them doing what they want like watching a movie together, shopping with them, and similar things.
How do you decide if you can trust someone? Experience with others? With this person? First impressions? Intuition? Do you test the person somehow? Or are you just generally disposed to trust or not to trust?
They probably need to prove themselves to me. Lazarus has my trust because he has my back, he has never spread my secrets, and he is an honest and loyal guy. He has proven himself to me over time. So I can not say I will trust instantly, that is not wise in my opinion especially in my line of work. I prefer to take my time with someone and learn to trust them, as well as proving myself to them, letting them know they can trust me.
Describe your ideal mate.
Someone hardworking and will love me for who I am without wanting me to change. Someone with an interesting life and does not mind me being a part of it or helping them. Preferably someone kind of like me with wings and so we can fly together, but even just not being afraid of heights would be nice.What do you want from life?
I want to find my true love and settle down, even if that person is not meant to be Sakari. I would just love to dedicate my life eventually to the love of my life and wish to spend as much time with her as possible. As much as I love protecting people I can't do so forever in this manner especially if I also wish to protect someone so precious to me. As much as I love my job now, I don't want to do this my entire life.
What, in the outside world, is preventing you from getting it?
Currently my job is keeping me too busy to dedicate my life to her, though I hopefully will eventually be able to give up my job for her.
What, in yourself, is preventing you from getting it?
I am too scared to ask the girl I have the strongest crush on at this time out. It's a fear I am having troubles getting over, though I hope someday I can get over it enough to finally ask her or to ask any girl I have a crush on if things don't work out with Sakari.
What must happen before you overcome this?
First I must be able to find the time and the stability to give up my current line of work to dedicate my life to her and I must bring up the courage to ask her out on that first date, I would need to find a way to get over that fear of mine.
What's the most important thing in your life? What do you value most?
See life around me and being able to protect those cherished lives. I value life the most, especially the lives of my friends and crush, I guess you could say they are the most important things to me.
How do you feel about your life right now? What, if anything, would you like to change?
I feel pretty good about my life, I can not complain too much. If I could change anything about my life I would have someone, a woman, at my side already. I value love highly and would love to just settle down over fighting constantly.
What are you most proud of about your life?
Being able to protect and save lives as best as I can, having skills that allow me to save lives even if I am not the strongest, and also working so closely with someone, who I personally consider like a brother, to help make up for my weaknesses and to have the honor of being the one who works best with him.
What really moves you, or touches you to the soul?
Seeing a child harmed or even killed, it brings up such a massive rage and sadness that I can not say it does not move or touch my soul, though not in the way I want. I can't stand enemies who would harm a child, they are truly the most heartless and cruel.If you were granted three wishes, what would you ask for?
I would definitely ask for the courage to ask Sakari out or to be my girlfriend, I would ask for the power to keep those I care about safe, and maybe I would wish for my large clawed hands to be normal so that no one, especially children, will be afraid of me for this unusual feature.
What three things would you take to a Desert Island?
Whatever sharp weapon I can get my hands on before ending up on the island, preferably some sort of blanket or cloak to cover myself with during the night when it's cold and to create shade during the day when it is hot, and some sort of container to hold and collect water in.
When you walk into a room, what do you notice first? Second?
People and who seems the strongest or who seems like they might be a possible threat or ally. Secondly I notice what kind of decor is in the room and what it can tell me about the owner or the place in which we have entered.
When you walk into a room, what do you expect people to notice about you?
I would say either my hands, my halos, or my wings. My hands are somewhat unusual and so definitely someone people would notice, especially if I wave or reach out to shake hands. My wings and halos are also focal points saying I have more then what is usual for both.
What's the one thing you have always wanted to do but didn't/couldn't/wouldn't? What would happen if you did do it?
Well, that is fairly obvious, it would be to ask Sakari out on a date. This could go a lot of different ways such as her saying no which is probably the worst possible scenario. She could say yes and we might go out but it may not go anywhere. It could go well and we could continue dating, maybe we could even get married someday. I do often dream of that last option I mentioned, I would love to find a girl like her to be mine.

Aegeus - Master/Crush
I have worked for him since I was young and I he is not much older then myself, I guess I also may have a little crush on him, but he does not know that! I am too nervous to tell him as he has never really shown any sign of really liking me, he seems to keep our relationship professional. He treats me like any other with a tough of professionalism since I work for him, his respecting and kind nature, as well as the fact that he puts up with my chatting and ranting makes me appreciate and like him all the more. I enjoy working for him and will gladly continue doing so for a long time to come, but I do wonder and dream about our relationship becoming something more someday like the romances in some of the books I have read. -Sigh-Omamori - Mentor/Friend
He was the one who originally brought me to the palace, asked to find me and bring me there since he knew the nearby mountains best since he lived further out that way and also gathered herbs there for his teas that he makes to sell, including the tea he sells to the royal family. He taught me much about herbs after I moved into the servant quarters, and I was often one of the servants asked to fetch the tea from his place that they had ordered. He is such a nice dragon and I love visiting him, his place is so beautiful and calming. If it was closer I would probably take a book there and just sit by his fountains and the bells or chimes he hangs from the trees around his cave.Qelburro - Friend/Father Figure
He is a general in the royal army and like a father figure to me, the father I never had. He always played with me and allowed me to go to him when I was hurt or upset. He took me to places I never would have seen otherwise and pretty much treated me like a daughter. He told me the stories of my father as he had witnessed them and I was always so grateful to hear his stories, knowing that my father had amazing friends and comrades. I still go to him when I am sad or upset, even though I am older now. He always welcomes me. We even started a tradition where he always brings me back a souvenir from wherever they go to, my room is full of all sorts of things from other kingdoms and landscapes, especially books that tell about those places.Ammenth - Head Librarian/Mentor
Ammenth was my main mentor and taught me how to read, write, the history of the kingdom, how to work and stay organized, I spent a lot of my early years learning from him and I am always still learning from him. He seems to always discover new things and enjoys sharing it with me as his apprentice. I look up to him and would love to take his position one day when he retires from being head librarian. He also knows me better then most since I spend so much time in the library and all books I take out of the library must be seen by him first, so he knows the kinds of things I read that I would never tell others about, but he never makes a comment on them or tells anyone else about my taste in stories.

Hobbies, Habits And Quirks:
- When the topic of love or romance comes up she has a tendency to start daydreaming or imagining some sort of love story that she may have read, though replaces the female character with herself. She is often found blushing and paying no attention at all unless someone pinches her.
- Loves to spend her time reading a book on a window seat on the third floor of the Royal Library, reading her book and looking out over the forest visible from the window. She will also hide her romance books there in a hidden cubby she found there when she was first brought to the palace.
- She likes making flower crowns and accessories with wold mountain flowers when she is out visiting Omamori, tends to leave most of them with Omamori, but does take one or two home with her to wear during her free time.
- When she is scared that is one of the very few times she is actually very quiet, the most she will do when she is in a terrified state is let out a very tiny squeak of fear. She can not handle scary things very well and even when spooked she just tends to freeze up and squeak instead of getting louder.
- Has a habit of tapping writing utensils against her head while listening to meetings or writing notes. Aegeus often still her hand before continuing to speak but she will start up again soon after out of habit.

Where and when were you born?
I was born in a cave high on a nearby forested mountain, I was an only child and I was born around three thirty in the afternoon on August 17th.
Where have you lived?
I lived in the little cave on the mountain with my mother for the first years of my life, but when I was around six a strange dragon arrived and took me to the palace where I was placed as an assistant for the prince, Aegeus. I have lied in the palace servant quarters ever since.
Family members?
I was born an only child to my mother, but she grew ill after my birth and soon she could not take care of me so she left me in the care of the kingdom. My father was a warrior and protector for the kingdom but was killed in a fight before my birth, he died a hero though and I has read many stories about him and his work for the kingdom.
Schooling?
I was tutored at the palace by the head librarian who taught me how to organize documents and books, read and write, and many other things. I had a few other teachers as well who taught me things such as some math or certain sciences, but the head librarian was my main tutor throughout most of my life.
In what situation is your self esteem most at risk?
When I am in a situation where if I say one wrong thing I could ruin everything not only for myself but also for my master, mostly negotiations that I am dragged to normally to keep information or to answer any questions my master may have so he is prepared for these meetings. I am always so afraid of making a mistake and I have troubles getting rid of all the ideas of the ways I can make a mistake out of my head.
What are you keeping a secret?
I have learned things that I should not have, things only the rulers and higher ups should know, but I have found this information while organizing my master's papers and also finding things in the library that I should not have. If I were to tell anyone, I would die for it, so I have to keep it a secret or else pay the ultimate consequences for accidentally coming across this stuff.
What are you lying to yourself about? To others?
I do not know what I am lying to myself about. I do sometimes tell myself I am a failure when I make mistakes, I tell myself I never have a chance with the prince, I tell myself I won't have a story book romance, and even that I am nothing but an annoying servant that others have pity on. I do sometimes lie about what I actually know such as the secret information I hide from them because I am not supposed to know it.
Is there anyone in your life that you are attracted to?
Of course my master, I do feel attracted to him as someone who is nice and I look up to him but also I have a small crush on him, but I can't tell him that since he is a prince and I am just a servant.
What scares you about this person?
He is a prince, making him one of the most powerful creatures in the entire kingdom, also I am his servant, pretty much his personal servant, so I am close to him in a way that is somewhat terrifying.
What do you think he/she can do for you that no one else can?
He is so loyal and kind, and always willing to listen when I get into a rant about something I am passionate about or wanting to share, at least when we are alone. I never have to worry about him hating me or pushing me away harshly where many others will because they find me annoying.
What does this person know about you that no one else does?
He knows that I am a total nerd for romance novels and has caught me, on more then one occasion, reading romance novels in my free time. He also knows that I daydream when I am alone about such romances and maybe finding my true love one day like that novels, though he doesn't know I often have him as the one I fall in love with in my imaginings.
How do you decide of you can trust someone?
When they don't push me away even when I get talkative or nerdy in some way. The ones I trust most have never made fun of my to my face or behind my back as far as I know. Though I don't trust too many in higher positions then me, I would probably never truly trust any of them since I am nothing but a lowly servant to most of them.
How do you know you love someone?
They have shown me I can trust them, we get along and I know I can share things with them, even things that I would normally keep secret, they already know more about me then others, and I just have a feeling that I can only describe as love towards them.
What parts of loving come easy to you? Hard?
Words of affirmation and telling them I love them comes easiest to me, I can compliment them and tell them how amazing they are all day. Acts of service is something else I am pretty good at as I love to help organize and such when I get the chance. Gifts is something a little more difficult for me as finding time to go get gifts or even having the money is a challenge, I am also not good and picking out gifts that are unique and that they might like.
When you walk into a room what do you notice first? Second?
I notice how organized and clean a room is, if everything is where it should be at the time and if everything looks like it's organized and clean. If books or papers are scattered everywhere, it annoys me. If the bed is not bad and or the couch is not straightened out, I will get annoyed. Secondly I notice the kinds of people in the room, if they are higher ups, servants, if the royal family is in the room.
How would you change the world? The things around you? The people around you?
If I could I would try to bring and teach all kinds of knowledge to as many as possible, maybe lower poverty with knowledge on how to survive or work in the kingdoms, ideas that could get citizens to their feet. I would just want to help others by teaching them.
How do you learn best?
I am more of a visual learner, I read something once and I will always remember it, even if just vaguely. I can remember images easily, and when I try and think of a passage in a book I have a tendency to remember where on the page is it even if I don't remember the page number or the actual full phrase.
What are your goals in life?
To work my hardest and eventually find love, my true love who I will share the rest of my life with. Maybe a knight in shining armor who will steal me away, or a villain who's heart will change after meeting me. Why must story book romances be so much more interesting then real life ones.
What unusual hobbies or interests do you have?
I quite enjoy reading romances and geeking out over the handsome men in the books and the sweet romances. Their relationships are so cute and the happy endings are what I dream of! -Sigh-
What are you most afraid of?
I am mostly afraid of someone finding out about the secrets I know, I would be killed if someone was to ever find out, especially since I am only a servant, so they have no reason to really let me live or explain my side of things.
If you had one wish, what would it be?
That I would find my true love, even if it is not the prince, though I would love for my true love to be Prince Aegeus. I don't know if there is anyone more perfect out there for me!
What do you like best about yourself?
I am organized and other have praised me for it, that means I am good at my job and was meant to be here. That makes me very happy, my organization skills.
What do you like least about yourself?
My talkative side, I tend to scare others away with how much I talk and I hate that others look down on me for talking so much. I just want to make friends, but this trait of mine scares them away more then draws them in. I have become annoying and it frustrates me that I can't seem to control myself even though I try so hard.
What do you think other people think of you?
They thing I am annoying for talking so much, that I am just a lowly servant and somewhat disrespectful. I don't feel many look at my kindly, only a few such as master and my mentor seem to view me in not too bad of a way, though I do think I still annoy the hell out of them.
What’s your greatest source of frustration?
Not being able to control my talkative nature that seems to annoy the hell out of everyone and makes them look down on me. I just wish I could control my mouth and preventing me from annoying others. I would rather be a little quiet then never being able to be quiet which is more what I do lean towards.
What’s your greatest source of joy?
Being able to work in the largest library in the kingdom and being able to have access to reading whenever I so choose. I can read and write which a lot of citizens can't do, or at least not very well or to the extent in which I can. I am privileged to have these skills and this access to knowledge despite being no more important then a regular citizen.
What are you especially proud of in your life?
Being able to work so hard it would make my parents proud if they were here. I just don't want to disappoint them, but the fact that I am still here, do my job right and even receive praise from my master proves I have done somewhat well, I just hope it's well enough to make my parent proud wherever they are now.
If you could change anything about your life what would it be?
It would be the fact that my parents are no longer here, I would want to prevent my mother from ever getting sick and prevent my father from ever dying in battle. I wish I could have known my father as my father and not just a war hero, I wish my mother did not get so sick she had to give me up. I would bring them back if I could.
It has only gotten worse in the recent months and now it was finally at its peak. The sickness trapped my mother in her nest and she laid there, barely able to open her eyes and give me that smile she used all her energy to give me. I tried my best to bring her water and food, but soon she could not even eat or drink what I brought her. "I am sorry child, there is not much more you can do for her." I spun around to see the much larger dragon standing in the entrance of the cave. I was startled, but I had nowhere to run or even hide, like it would have mattered since he had already seen me. "Who are you?!" I glared back, trying to look tough, but I was visibly shaking. "My name is Omamori, I have been sent to pick you up." I looked from him to my mother who used her little bit of energy to smile at me reassuringly, confirming his words. "I can not abandoned my mother! She needs me!" I cried out. "I will be taking care of her, while you are young though, someone else with be taking care of you." I looked to the floor and looked to my my mother one last time, not knowing it would be the last time I would see her alive. "I love you mom." I said before following the large gentle dragon. "I will return for her just as soon as I deliver you to the palace." I was startled by the comment. The palace? Why was I being brought there? "You probably have many questions." I guess my surprise had been written on my face as he spoke. "As the daughter of a war hero you have the honor or working in the palace, don't worry, they treat their servants well." I looked to my feet as we walked down the mountain and into the city below that led to the palace that sat at the far side, its back to the great mountain side as if it where a part of the mountains. It seemed to loom as we got closer and closer and eventually we were at its gate. "Omamori, you made it!" another larger dragon approached, looking at the dragon who brought me. "I did. I brought the tea and the child." he replied, looking from the new dragon to me, "Well, welcome Esti. I have heard about you. Before your mother's condition became worse she asked us to take you in if it got to the point where she could not take care of you. I am so sorry about your mother." he had a sad look in his eye, but also a gentle look. "I guess I can leave her with you?" Omamori asked. "Yes, I will take care of her from here." he replied. The gentle forest dragon left and soon I stood before the other dragon alone. He was large in size, a western dragon who was dark grey in color, had curved horns upon his head and many scars. He wore what looked like armor and his eyes were a deep green. "My name is Qelburro, I worked and fought alongside your father for many years. I am glad to finally meet you." I felt less scared all of a sudden, and more curious. "My father? You knew him? What was he like? Did he talk a lot about me a mother? What battles did he fight? Did her have armor like yours?" he started to laugh a deep hardy laugh. "You have a lot of questions, they will be answered in due time, though for now lets get you settled in."
The library he brought me to was huge, and also kind of empty. The shelves were all full with books, but there were very few creatures actually using the facility. Sitting at a large desk in the center was another dragon who was actually a small dragon, bluish-silver in color, he had glasses balanced on his nose and a small horn in the middle of his forehead that curved upwards. His wings were folded to his sides under a sort of black cloak lined with white fur. "Ammenth! The child arrived safe and sound." Qelburro said as they reached the desk. The dragon called Ammenth was sitting on a stool and he leaned forward to peak over the desk at me who just barely sat eye level with the top of the large wooden furniture piece. His eyes were violet and quite beautiful even through the lenses of the glasses. "Well, hello there. I am Ammenth, the head librarian here in the royal library." he introduced himself and I looked from him to Qelburro as the larger dragon spoke up. "He will be teaching you and you will be working under him for the first little while." that made me wonder what he meant by the first little while but as I opened my mouth to ask he spoke first. "I will warn you Ammenth, she is a talker, and also very curious." he seemed to grin at me as he turned to leave. "Take care, and be good, alright?" I was left with Ammenth who smiled at me and jumped down from his stool. "Well, I guess first thing first, do you know how to read or write?" he asked. I shook my head. "Only my name sir, I can write it pretty well on the stone inside my family's cave!" I exclaimed, kind of excited and proud about the fact. "Well, how about I teach you how to read and write, so you can learn even more and write even better." he gave me a gentle grin and soon we were looking at some simple books, spending as much time possible teaching me how to read and then write.

"I would like you to meet his majesty, Aegeus." Ammenth said with a boy to the younger male that stood before him. Aegeus dipped his head in respect as I also gave a much larger bow then Ammenth did. "You shall learn the ropes of being the prince's assistant. You'll write down things for him that he can't himself, make sure all his paperwork is organized, and help him find any information he may be seeking." he explained my duties as the prince's assistant, and I was surprised I had even heard it all and taken it all in. I was blushing as the young prince that sat in front of my looked at me with his violet eyes and devilishly good looks. He had a gentle look to him. "Do you understand?" Ammenth asked. "Yes sir, I got it all. Write, organize and find information. I will remember all of..." "Now, now, no need for too much talking Esti." Ammenth interrupted me, making me shut my mouth quickly and I could hear the prince chuckle. My work for him at first was easy, just helping him sort homework and looking for information in the library, it also helped me get ahead in my schooling. I was learning at his pace, a few years ahead of what I should have been at for my age, but I could not help it I was just a quick learner. The more time I spent with Prince Aegeus though, the more I started to have feelings for him. He listened to me when I ranted, unlike my mentors who were always asking me to listen, he was kind to me, like a friend, even though I was just his servant. Eventually I knew I had a crush on him and I started to dream, day and night, about some sort of forbidden romance. I wonder if he ever caught me blushing, because I sure I blushed a lot when someone caught me daydreaming, especially when he noticed.

Being born into a rich family has made things tough, but Aster has learned to be a humble girl who would never brag or tease others about wealth and money, she would rather make friends then make other jealous of her. She is a caring and gentle soul who hates to harm others and see others harmed. She is truly a pacifist who would never see war and strife as justifiable. For those she cares about she would go above and beyond to keep them happy and show them she truly cares about them. She loves making new friends to care about, though she is pretty shy and normally it is when she see someone in need that she makes friends the easiest as she will always put her shy feelings aside in order to help them. She is often the peacekeeper among her friends, though she acts as a peacekeeper elsewhere as well due to her pacifist nature. She is the kind of girl to always be there for her friends when they need her and always willing to help them out or just to be a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on. What she would do for those she cares about is the most important thing to her, but following closely after is her love of music. She plays the cello and sings, creating beautiful harmony for all to hear and likes to play for the enjoyment of others as well as for the enjoyment of herself. She may be shy and a pacifist, but when it comes to her beliefs she can be pushed out of her shell to stand up for what she believes in, and eventually she can become a pushover to prove her point and impress those around her with her convictions.
Flint is a forest spirit who guides lost children who enter his woods, he is generally patient as he has to be, especially with the younger children. Sometimes he wonders how he ended up guiding lost children, but he continues his job despite being grumpy about it. He is normally just grumpy in general though whether he is doing his job or not. This causes him to be sarcastic nearly all the time and he has often confused children with saying one thing but referring to something else. When he bonded with Zula she sort of became his translator and she joined in his mission to guide lost children. He may not show it but he does care for the girl who has no where else to go, but he tries to keep a mask of grumpiness and sarcasm even around her. He has found her very helpful and is glad to have her company as she make his job slightly easier then it was before.
Zula can be a little shy due to her past and the idea that her mutation makes her blood unclean. This makes her very nervous to meet new people in fear that they have similar beliefs to her own people and instead clings to Flint who she has bonded with. She misses the elder of the village and her parents who saved her life, but she knows she can never return or else face death and she accepts that fact. She has taken on the roll of Flint's companion and helper as she translates his sarcastic remarks and calms the frightened children who are afraid of him. She is a caring soul who loves to help those who get lost in the woods, hoping to return them to their families or to find them places where they will be safe. She often wonders what her life would be if she left Flint, but she is glad to have the forest spirit as a guardian and protector.
