[Help me develop my side characters!]

Ahira is actually one of my favourites, despite being rather a jerk! I'm very excited to be able to write them soon. :D

Ahira's full name is Ahira idu Ren'esyani. The "middle name" for sirens acts as a title/rank moniker, like "Doctor" or "Captain". In Ahira's case, "idu" says that they're a haven's Star Keeper. (Or, well... they were.)

Ahira's dead. But not really dead dead. Their soul's still around, their body's just been gone for centuries.

Ahira hates Dione Nikolaeva with their whole being. Which is weird, considering they died a full century before the witch was even born.

Star Keepers and other sirens of highly powerful bloodlines can see lost souls, but anyone with lesser magic can't. Too bad Ahira's now a lost soul themself. :I

If you couldn't tell I was gay, let me show you some of my very strong women ocs.

Left is Ahira, a Fullmetal Alchemist oc. Absolute unit, looking to kill the people who turned her into a chimera.

Right is Wren, a dc oc and a vigilante with anger issues.

“You know, I used to hate you, when you were a child. Absolute loathing. I saw a pitiful creature, wasting such a gift, such an honour, on whatever stupid, reckless venture your ignorant curiosity next led you...”

Meet Ahira idu Ren’esyani, Star Keeper of the Lyrae Haven and the True Guardian of Mist’s Lock!

Or, well. Ex-Star Keeper of the Lyrae Haven.

Leila Nikolaeva’s kinda responsible for that.

“... It reminded me too closely of myself, I suppose.”

Theme: Varien ft. Skyelle - Sacred Woods

Pronouns: They/Them/Their or Ve/Vem/Vir

Age: ... uh. Does not apply? They’re... kinda dead. Died when they were close to three centuries old. (100 siren years = about 10 human ones.)

Siren Type: Forest; freshwater but used magic methods to adapt to survival in saltwater.

Magic Colour: Vivid leaf-green

Magic Level: Near highest rank (Quill still needs to come up with a ranking system -u-), direct and pure bloodline descendant of an original Alpha.

Base Appearance: Based off of a golden metallic half-moon betta: golden scales that shine like the metal; labyrinth gill structure, so they require oxygen from the air as well as the water; and incredibly large, round, golden fins (and a fake ego just as big).

Ahira was a Star Keeper in a Forest Haven that no longer exists. Star Keepers are just what they sound like: keepers of the stars, or as is believed by sirens, recorders for the dead. They keep maps of the night sky, and interpret both magical and astronomical phenomena as predictions of the future and guidance from the dead. Their magic is so concentrated because their bloodlines directly link back to one of the Ascendant’s Alphas (the first sirens created by the Ascendants), and due to this they are able to see and hear loose souls, to guide them back to their proper place among the stars.

But what happens when the Star Keeper’s soul itself becomes lost?

Brain: *idea*

[Send a 🎵 and I’ll tell you what from my wip I associate with a random song!]

@readingbooksinisrael​ I’m still doing these, yeah! Thank you for sending one in. c:

Valkyrie II: Lacuna - Varien ft. Cassandra Kay

This song is actually for both Dione and a new siren character I haven’t talked about much, Ahira! SO therefore there are some spoilers here.

Monsters live inside our soulsWaiting to come aliveTurning our hearts cold

Both of these characters have a problem with feeling like they’re monsters. Dione especially has a guilt complex dealing with this issue in particular, because her being a witch that’s perhaps not entirely human anymore does some interesting things to her conscience. There are many times when she’s done things she’s regretted severely, and the contrast with how Ahira does some darn bad things and knows it but justifies them as being for the “greater good” is... interesting.

I'll bring you homeI won't lose hope

I will bleedAll of meTo set you free

They both want to bring someone back from the dead. But that’s impossible, right? Dione maybe you should reconsider your priorities. Just. Just saying.

I vow to right this wrongI promise here and nowI've loved you all alongI threw away my crownI lost my sanity

Mmmmmmmhhhh that doesn’t bode well .n. This is referring to both Ahira and Dione’s past: Dione was a princess exiled from her own kingdom, and Ahira was a Star Keeper (a really high siren rank) that kinda gave that rank up. And yes, both of them have a sanity that’s rather questionable.
