#im bad explaining

[These two characters are constantly evolving, so it's a little difficult for me to define them.]

🌸Serene: A classic sweet and kind girl. Ambivert, maternal, and always willing to help, she is so flexible that sometimes she is unable to tell if she is doing something because she wants to or because those around her want her to. She is mute, so she has no voice or call. She has lived a nomadic life her entire life and is used to not having a fixed place to live. She loves music, photography, and dancing. She dries flowers and leaves from the places she visits. She is Hearth's adopted daughter, and her life with him was quite complicated (not because of him, but because of what it means to live with someone in his condition).

🦊 Orion: The classic character with trust issues, temperamental, introverted, quite easily embarrassed, but blindly loyal and protective of those he trusts. He has major self-esteem issues and is also very resentful. He was adopted by a veteran when he was very young, who later threw him to the krills in wasteland. After that, Reah adopted him and restored some of his confidence. Berk is his brother. He carves animals out of wood as a hobby. He feels safer among animals than with other Skykids. Serene's best friend.

[These three characters are more closely related to the universe's past, but they greatly influence the main story.]

📑 Hearth: Kind, calm, overly patient, and pacifist to his own detriment. A Skykid with a strong fixation on everything related to ancestors, their history, and their technology. He is quite knowledgeable when it comes to information, but socially, he had to be betrayed by his best friend to see the red flags. He was “exiled” after being falsely accused of something he did not do, something so big that even skykids who did not live through the event recognize it and avoid contact with him. In that event, his body was corrupted to such an extent that his condition is considered terminal. He has few allies, and most of them are only interested in him for their own gain. He was friends with Reah and Icarus a long time ago.

🦅 Reah: Direct, with a very strong personality, she is chaos personified. She loves to laugh, loves to joke around, and gets bored if everything is too peaceful for too long. She enjoys seeing others' reactions to what she does, so her nature has always been a little strange. Reah is strong and formidable, but she has a somewhat contradictory soft spot for moths. She is a terrible at cooking. She is immune to the toxins produced by dark plants when cooked, so she loves Dark Plant tea. Her body is corrupted by a major event in the past, her arms are fused to her cape, giving her the peculiar harpy-like appearance she has. Adoptive mother of Orion and Berk. Old friend of Hearth and Icarus.

🌞Icarus: Outgoing, elegant, charismatic, he always has an aura of calm and confidence. He is currently a well-known hero who gained recognition after the historic event “caused” by Hearth. He is someone everyone knows for his good deeds; his mere existence inspires others to do good, to follow their ideals, and to seek the light in this polluted universe. His aspirations border on megalomania, but don't tell anyone. He had two adopted children, Fiora and a moth that died in wasteland after a serious accident related to krills *cough*

[These four characters are connected to the ones above, but they also have their own separate storylines and arcs.]

🎧 Altair: Outgoing, playful, with a good sense of humor, sometimes a bit dense. The typical character who doesn't take anything seriously, who is so childlike that he always gets along well with children. Even so, Altair can be serious when the situation calls for it and has good leadership skills. Born in the wasteland alongside his identical twin sister. They both grew up alone, feeling like one skykid, until they separated their identities shortly after joining the Herders, a group of skykids who work to keep the darkness of the wasteland under control. He is currently the leader of the wasteland section. He acts as Eko's older brother. He knows how to play the guitar and is a big fan of ice cream.

💋 Alhena: Altair's identical twin sister. Independent, playful, loves chaos, quite flirty. Someone who loves to live life to the fullest and by her own rules. Her childhood with only her brother by her side left a mark on her, which would later drive the separation of identities. After an event related to a city in the wasteland and an attack by krills, she and other members of the Herders are presumed dead.

😼 Eko: The classic chaotic and problematic chibi. She is a girl who lives in the aviary and is afraid to leave because her journey through the other realms was somewhat... traumatic. Although she seems like the type of child who only causes trouble, Eko is actually a prodigy whom no one has given a chance. There was a time when a Skykid acted as a father figure to her, but he set off on a journey outside the aviary, promising he would return. He never came back. She currently has a close bond with Altair, whom she sees as an older brother.

🦢 Fiora: Expressionless and serious at first glance, with a great sense of justice and a soft heart inside. All her social skills lean toward the political side, such as speaking in front of a large group of people, leading, etc. Fiora does not know how to act like a normal person. Educated from a young age by Icarus, all her ideals, beliefs, and way of seeing the world are deeply ingrained. But this black-and-white way of seeing things is what makes her see her father as the only center of truth. Deep down, her only motivation to keep improving and seeking a better world was the death of her younger brother. Although they have very different perspectives on the world, Altair has managed to befriend her; they know each other because they are both in high positions in different organizations.

[Here are some characters I mention a lot but haven't drawn much, and they're also part of the story]

🐂 Berk: The typical sunshine with a single brain cell. He's cheerful, positive, and LOVES animals. He has memory problems, so he forgets things every now and then. Reah's adopted son, Orion's older brother. No one knows for sure how old he is, but he looked like a moth when Reah met him. He knows how to cook and is very good at it. In addition to taking care of Reah's animals, he loves to knit. He has a tail that he usually hides because he doesn't like people pulling it.

🧪 Ziv: Someone with his head firmly set on his goals, it is said that he used to work in the vault and was expelled, but these are really just rumors. He is not interested in making friends, and most of the people he surrounds himself with are for his own convenience. Even so, he is friends with Hearth, or at least that is how Hearth sees him because of the way he willingly helps him. Ziv has known Serene since she was very young, and much of the way she dresses today was his decision. He currently lives in Triumph Valley. His research mainly covers things related to darkness, but he has recently ventured into researching winged lights.

[Characters who share the same universe but simply exist and are not part of the story]

🦋 Relm: Stoic, calm, and quite mysterious. They have a soft side that rarely shows itself. They are a botanist who lived alone in a remote corner of wasteland, where they devoted themself to collecting plants of all kinds for conservation. They have a rather difficult past, which is the main reason he lived alone for so long. That changed when Kallie's star fell near the polluted sea next to Relm's home. They have a particular fondness for wasteland, even though they knows safer and greener places.

🦐 Kallie: a krillkid, her star fell into the polluted waters of the wasteland, and the only reason she didn't die was because Relm saved her. She is very innocent and timid, but cheerful and sociable when she feels safe. She needs a light source of animal origin to survive, so she mainly feeds on fish. She cannot fly, but she runs, swims, and jumps very well. The language of the Skykids is her second language, something she had to learn and which sounds strange to the ears of the Skykids when she speaks it. Her favorite animals are crabs. She loves drawing and crafts!
