#ouch :p

Meta Knight: Magolor, I want to say something. I started our adventure disgusted and embarrassed to be helping you, and then later I thought we were going to die because you’re a loser.

Magolor:

Sir Render

He didn’t really get out much before the events of the book; his heroics were mostly confined to the queendom before being kicked out of the Hexagonal Table, and after, he mostly just drifted between villages getting himself banned from various taverns. If nothing else, the quest certainly helped him get out more :P

Has been an atheist pretty much his whole life. At first, he was just skeptical of the idea of a Holy Being or magic, then he decided the world was too cruel for there to ever be holiness, and after having his faith in humanity restored…well, I think y’all who’ve read the book can guess why he’s still less than keen on the Holy Being :P

Has a bit of a sweet tooth, hence why his favorite drink is mead (which comes from fermenting honey). Unlike certain others (who are going through it perpetually and thus really don’t care what the drink tastes like so long as it does its job), Render is a bit picky when it comes to his poison.

His line has something of a predisposition towards depression. Obviously, this being fantasy land, he has no knowledge of that :P

After the events of the book, Render decides to get into hobbies that aren’t going to worsen his health (he’s, uh, seen what that’s done and wants no part in it). Board games, embroidery, gardening, hell, he’s willing to give poetry a shot now. Anything that isn’t self-destruction. He isn’t going to go the way his ancestor did.

Queen Leigh

One of the youngest queens in the land’s history; her mother died when she was young (more on that below) and her father served as a regent until Leigh turned eighteen and was crowned.

Bit of a bookworm! Enjoys stories about what the world before the Great Divide was (supposedly) like especially. She’s more a reader than a researcher, admittedly, and prefers stories to historical fact.

Major tomboy in her youth, often dragging Render off on some adventure or other that usually ended with both of them bruised and covered in mud. Being the heiress and favored child, she wasn’t usually punished too severely for this. As a grown woman, she’s developed more feminine tastes—but she still enjoys adventure.

Was kiiiiind of a big sister bully to Pan when they were young? She didn’t go out of her way to torment him or anything, she just didn’t enjoy having him around and was never particularly subtle about that—and that made Render also not too thrilled about Pan’s existence. She did get over this eventually, but by then, Pan…was less than keen on being around her ^^;

After the events of the book, she built a little garden in honor of everyone who lost their lives over the course of it. She and Render care for it together. (On a lighter note, she is also trying to maintain the hairstyle the end of the book left her with. It’s slow going.)

Friar Pan

The youngest of the puzzle book blorbos at eighteen! (The second youngest are the original Bordergrams blorbos, who are twenty-two…why do the youngest characters suffer the most ;-;) Render and Leigh, for reference, are twenty-five, so there’s a seven-year age gap.

Asexual. For no reason other than I think it fits. Obviously, the label doesn’t exist in fantasy land :P

Like his sister, he’s into books—unlike her, he actually is more a researcher. He’s eternally curious about the world before the Great Divide and eagerly reads any document from that time he can get his hands on. If he ever got to meet the Holy Being themself, he’d have so many questions. [:)]

Funnily enough, Pan didn’t originally start in the Order as a particularly zealous believer; he joined pretty much solely to distinguish himself from his sister. He wound up getting into it because…well, they had old texts he liked XD

…ending on kind of a sad one: his mom, the previous queen, died in childbirth. Hence why he had a generally frosty reception—the queen’s death is awful enough, but if she’d had a daughter, at least the girl could’ve been a backup heir. For her to die for a son is simply a waste. Pan never really shook off the hostility from his father…or stopped being bothered by his family’s initial coldness.

Quick and dirty remake of this gifset with the same intent but worse:
