All character portraits are made using this picrew.
EIRIN
Identity: Runaway Princess of the Seas
Theme: Vengeance
Origin: The Dragon Palace
Eirin is the first daughter of the Dragon King, a fallen tyrant whose reign over the seas and lands ended a century ago—yet he still seeks to restore it to this day. She lived a life of luxury as a princess in the Dragon Palace, but it all shattered when her beloved mother—once believed to be human—was revealed to be a titan centipede, the mortal enemy of the dragons.
After her mother's execution, Eirin was consumed by grief and resentment for years before ultimately fleeing the palace—burning with Vengeance against the Dragon King. She washed ashore at Iadea, where Izumi found her and took her in. Since then, she has learnt to trust Izumi while adjusting to the unfamiliar world beyond the waves.
Eirin's Classes are Mutant and Guardian. She can tap into her half-dragon, half-titan centipede ancestry with Thereomorphosis, enhance her Unarmed Strike with Akromorphosis, and defend her allies with Protect.
IZUMI
Identity: Researcher of Magical Creatures
Theme: Belonging
Origin: Iadea
Izumi is a research student at Iadea Royal Academy of Magic, specialising in the niche field of magical creature studies. However, after many disastrous experiments involving a fire rat—along with constant self-comparison to her far more successful sister, Yana—she considered quitting. That was, until she met Eirin, whose ancestry deeply intrigued her.
Even in the mundane routine of everyday life, Izumi always feels like she doesn't quite fit in. Aside from her family and her mentor at the academy, she struggles to form connections with others. Yet, she resonates with Eirin's plight and feels compelled to help—perhaps, in doing so, finding her own sense of Belonging in this world.
Izumi's Classes are Loremaster, Spiritist, and Wayfarer. She can better study her adversaries with Focused, heal and cleanse her allies with Spiritual Magic, and rely on her elemental Faithful Companion—Bibu the Fire Rat—by her side.
YANA
Identity: Champion of Battle Mages
Theme: Justice
Origin: Renabeith
Yana is the reigning champion of Battle Mages, the academy's premier magical combat tournament. She is the sole refugee from Renabeith—a once-obscure empire, now ascendant and notorious for its fearsome magical weaponry—and has been fostered by Izumi's parents since childhood. Because of her background, she faces constant side-eyes and unwelcoming attitudes from many at Iadea.
Like many children of Renabeith, Yana underwent a mandatory test to qualify for militarized magic training—but she failed, condemning her family to a life of poverty. Forced to leave her home due to the oppression, she developed a fierce sense of Justice. Now, after learning of her sister's involvement with Eirin, she knows that she can no longer stand idle.
Yana's Classes are Elementalist and Entropist. She can cast various elemental spells with Elemental Magic, bolster her spells with Magical Artillery, and reflect enemy spells back at them with Entropic Magic.
