Kimiko - (Kim-ee-koh)
Kimiko Shioko, a childhood companion of Ekija Yozane, makes a notable appearance in the initial stages of the narrative. She is a female elf with long, lustrous black hair that cascades like silk, she presents a gentle countenance with a light-gold complexion complemented by hazel eyes. Adorned in the regal garments indicative of her station as a servant within the esteemed Yozane family estate, Kimiko and her kin are devoted attendants to Ekija's household. Hailing from the Eykin lineage, a subset of mono-lid wood elves native to the Isles of Eyber, Kimiko embodies grace and tradition. Soft-spoken and inherently kind, she exudes a quiet demeanor that belies an inner strength. Her life has been a pursuit to earn Ekija's recognition, yet societal constraints have erected barriers, causing Ekija to inadvertently overlook her efforts. Kimiko's yearning for Ekija's regard and affection is rooted in her desire to transcend these societal limitations and become more than a servant—an aspiration she holds dear.

Vhova - (Voh-vah)
Vhova Kagrenda stands as a formidable female angeli warrior, her presence marked by an aura of strength and determination. Her pale, ethereal skin, a hallmark of her angeli heritage, accentuates the silvery strands that cascade like a shimmering cascade of molten moonlight, signifying her esteemed lineage within the angeli people.

Maris - (Mair-iss)
Maris Sunstrider, a male sea-elf, bears distinctive dark-blue skin that deepens in hue the longer he submerges underwater—a detail often misunderstood in the early chapters, causing confusion about his appearance. His striking dark brown eyes pierce through the shadows, complementing his medium-length white hair that whispers tales of the sea's caress. His defining feature, webbed ears, stands testament to his esteemed sea elf lineage.
His departure from home stems from the tragic annihilation of his entire village, a catastrophe that spurred Maris into undertaking the Amaranth, a formidable challenge reserved for warriors seeking validation and mastery. Regrettably, Maris faltered in this trial, teetering on the brink of demise until an eerie encounter changed his fate.
Confronted by a shadowy entity bearing his likeness, Maris was offered a dubious pact—his life in exchange for aiding the shadow in avenging its enemies.
