Isueda: She is a human who grew up on the outskirts of Ender Forest. To protect herself and her younger brother, Selwyn, their parents fed them incredibly small doses of poisons. As Isueda has grown up, she has become immune to most of them. But, since being separated from a young age from her brother, she isn’t so sure if he is in the same position. 

She has light blonde hair, sometimes mistaken as white as it is almost as pale as her skin. Her time in the school has forced her to shed a lot of baby weight and put on lean muscle. She is most practical at using a sword, but is slow compared to many others. The school has also taught her to be intelligent about the world around her—in the hopes she will find her brother again.

Sephonia: She is a nymph who was casted out by her people. An all female race, blessed with pregnancy from their Goddess Gaia. Sephonia was different to the others the moment she found her voice. She could call birds to her, speak to them as she sung meaningless words. Her family had never seen such power in another nymph, and worried over time as she also broke from their culture. 

Sephonia, like the other nymphs, has green-toned skin. She is quite dark, making the green act like it shimmers in the sun, sometimes. After being traded and close to execution, Sephonia found her new family at the school and hopes to hone her strange ability into something else. 

Ohen: A human from the Erend Marshes—she grew up among women who found magical abilities and non-humans disgusting. She knew from a young age she was special, like her Mother who could heal with her fingertips. Ohen had been forced to watch her Mother be burnt when she was found out, and took that opportunity to leave to the mainland. Her abilities were nothing special at the time, that is until she was found by the school. A small flame from her fingertips turned into a firestorm that would never burn her or those whom she willed it not to. 

Ohen began to grow horns from the moment she stepped into the school. She wondered if it was a curse—or just that her Mother was more than she seemed. She takes hold of her sexuality, something that was kept at bay back in her home, and uses it to her advantage. She gets out of training her physical abilities and uses it to sit in the kitchen, making friends with the cooks who come and go.

Fyk: Fyk is a fawn who sticks out. Everything about him is different. Unlike the rest of his species, he uses his litheness to get through obstacle courses. He can use a bow and arrow better than any other who has gone up against him. Some suggest he has been gifted with the ability of precision—Fyk suggests he is ‘just that good.’ His cockiness only goes so far, though. Despite making it his goal in life to be friends (or at least training partners) with Isueda, she will not give him a single well-intended smile yet. ‘Yet,’ he would say.

Drakon: Last but not least there is the Immortal. A species that have never ventured out from the Crimson Ruins. They were initially a remake of the cliche vampire, but became much more mysterious. Their abilities go far beyond just being Immortal. They are a shadow-phantom like being, never taking one true shape. Drakon, on the other hand, takes a humanoid shape and wears metal armour. That way, when someone sticks a sword in them*, and Drakon doesn’t die... it comes as a surprise.

*The Immortals are all non-gendered. Their voice is androgynous, some being more feminine and some more masculine. Drakon, to most, appears more masculine. They’re body, the voice, even the way they move.
