#alahelo

Oohh of course!! 

Alahelo is the son of a rich and powerful family. He’s shy and quiet, he has a very hard time voicing his opinions and keeps getting yelled at for this. He can never quite get over this shyness until he is gifted Saino. Saino is much more energetic than him. Having his company really helped Alahelo gain more self confidence. 

as he grew up, Alahelo started to have more and more pressure from his relatives, as they need to maintain the familly name and stuff. Alahelo already disliked this idea, but he had nowhere else to go. One day when he was playing around with Saino,they snuck into a private section of the library and picked a few books. Turns out most of the stuff here were archives of his family doings. Yeah, pretty awful stuff happened there. By reading these, he understands soon enough that he’s rised to be a naive puppet to charm the audience, while his relatives just do shit in his back and dont get their names out there. 

Alahelo absolutely refused such a fate, but he was just completely stuck in this manor. He almost never got out, even in just the garden, and only knew the world through children stories. He felt so powerless that he started crying in the library with Saino not understand what happened. 

Later on, when Saino and him had a talk over things, Saino just said to him “Hey, let’s get out of here then! There’s things I’d love to show you in the outside world anyway!” but Alahelo was just so scared for going out of his bubble. He was very conflicted and thinking about what he will do gave him many sleepless nights until he just can’t bottle up his feelings anymore. He wants to get out there so badly, he’s almost 20 and has never anything further than the flowerbed in front of his manor. So Saino and him start to thoughfully plan out an escape plan, until comes the night where they decide to take action. 

They did manage to get out, but since Alahelo is always monitored, his butlers noticed soon enough, meaning the two friends had to run away as far as possible. On their way, Alahelo just can’t catch up with Saino as he gets exhausted really easily. They try to look around for a faster way to flee, or a way to hide, and they meet Citrin on his night walk. They beg him to help them, promising a lot of money in return, and since Citrin is broke he couldn’t refuse. He takes them with his old and rusty motorbike.

So far Alahelo doesn’t have any connection to Rai! I wonder what kind of interaction they’d have?

I can’t quite come up with a set design and color scheme for him yet ... Im drawing random drafts and right now this one is the one I stick with

As a kid, he never wore shoes in the manor. He never goes out anyway, and he thinks they were not very comfortable. When he grows up, he gets more and more fancy clothes, and he absolutely hates them. They’re very restraining, heavy, hot, not practical at all. After his escape, Alahelo loves to wear very light clothing, where he can move freely. He loves skirts the most, but is still a bit shy about this.
