They gave part of their inner flame to the royal bloodline, which is both a blessing and a curse to them. They can be giving and charitable at times, but are still prideful and will act cold and ruthless.

He helps moths (children) and explores the Eye of Eden in his spare time

Astral (iwhatever age fits the bit but most often a young adult, she/they): chaotic and adventurous well meaning person, she can come off as less outgoing and crazy as her younger brother/twin but she’s actually just slightly better at hiding it.

Blu (child, she/her ?)

Kryos (adult but dead in most au’s, he/him): a yes man to Pyra, being her close friend. He’s weak willed and insecure in himself, leading him to attach to Pyra as his main source of confidence. He will side with her no matter what, even if he knows she’s in the wrong.
