Ophelia Marie Aurelius/Lili

Story:

Ophelia Marie Aurelius is born in the Kingdom of Auria. With the defining feature of her blue eyes, she is the eleventh daughter of the Aurelius family, rulers of the kingdom. However, on the night she was born, her father, the king, was assassinated. The source of the assassination is unknown, but it is either from a rival kingdom, or from one of the princes targeting for the throne. Nonetheless, she is deemed as bad luck and sentenced to death on the same day she was born.

However, when the executioner came, Ophelia’s mother, Selphia Marie Aurelius was already dead on the floor with a dead infant lying beside her. Both of them were stabbed through the heart. After a through investigation, the executioners found nothing suspicious, and closed the case as part of the assassination.

The truth is, Selphia knew what’s going to happen the moment she heard about the news of the king’s death. So she asked the nanny Lyia Lili to save Ophelia. Lyia, who was loyal to Selphia agreed, and swapped Ophelia with her own newborn child. Furthermore, to avoid the potential of discovering the swap, Lyia killed both her newborn and Selphia, the person she swore her loyalty to. Then she fled the castle with Ophelia in her arms and settled in a small village named Elynvill. There, Lyia assumed the role of Ophlia’s mother and changed Ophelia’s last name to her own.

Ophelia Lili, without ever finding her true identity, grew up as a village girl and made friends with 4 other village girls. However, she always wanted to see the outside world, and so she pretended to be an adventurer and trained to become one on her free time. Yet she is also scared of the outside world after being told how dangerous it is countless number of times by Lyia, so she could never gather enough courage to actually explore the unknown.

That changed however, when one day, after her field work, her friends dragged her to a flying ship, and signed her up on an expedition into the lost archipelagos Lemuria.

Pokachi Terashi

Story:

Nobody knew where Pokachi came from. When she was an infant, she was found in a basket outside of the village Elynvill. Syra’s parents, Myura Terashi and Koji Terashi, found the basket, and decided to take her in.

However, as Pokachi grew up, people noticed she wasn’t normal. She was always gloomy, and never spoke a single word. Where ever she went, accidents happened and people fell ill. This made people avoided her and even threatened to kill her. However, Myura and Koji protected her from harm and continued to raise her.

When she was 5, a renowned adventurer, Sasaki, passed by the village. She diagnosed the cause of the accidents and illness to be from a miasma similar to the one she can manipulate herself, so she was able to cure everyone from the village. After hearing this, Koji brought Pokachi to Sasaki and asked for advice. Sasaki noticed Pokachi’s talent in manipulating miasma. However, due to her age, she did not have control of the miasma, which was why everyone was affected by her miasma.

Sasaki decided to take on Pokachi as an apprentice. During this time, Sasaki taught Pokachi how to control her misma, how to handle a scythe, and the past adventurers she had before coming to this village. As Pokachi learned to control her miasma, people became less afraid of her, and she started making friends. This made her extremely happy, so she followed Sasaki’s teaching even more closely.

However, when she was 7, Sasaki disappeared with a note left for her. It turned out that Sasaki had taught Pokachi everything she knew, so she left for another adventurer. She also asked Pokachi to stay happy because Pokachi’s smile always cheered her up.

Ever since then, Pokachi has always been looking forward to adventures and doing her best to have fun and be happy.

Syra Terashi

Story:

Syra was born 3 years after her parents, Myura Terashi and Koji Terashi, picked up Pokachi from the basket. She was born with heterochromia, which is considered as a curse by the other villagers. Furthermore, she became very ill and weak after her birth due to Pokachi’s miasma. She wasn’t able to move and wasn’t able to eat normally like other infants, but somehow she survived miraculous for 2 years until the adventurer Sasaki came to the village.

After Sasaki cured her from the miasma, she began to show her true talent. Learning to walk and speak in a month, started to understand numbers and be able to do simple calculations in another 3 months. Soon, it became clear that Syra was a genius with the ability to memorize everything she saw with one glance.

However, because of her talent, and her heterochromia, nobody wanted to play with her. Thus Syra spend every day alone with her books. In her books, she learned many thing about the world and the craft called War Lores. This allowed her to spread diseases at her will, or heal people with her incantation. Yet, the more she learned, the more people feared her.

Until one day, Ophelia approached her and asked her about her eyes. Being the only other person with a blue eye, the 2 quickly became friends. Ophelia later also introduced her to Kaga and Nana, and Syra brought along Pokachi. Syra was really grateful for finally making friends, and vowed to never let anything happen to them.

Kaga Misaki

Story:

Kaga was born in a slave family, and so she too, was a slave. However, when she was 1 year old, during the assassination of the King in Auria, her master was assassinated as well. The assassin took pity at the 1 year old baby, and spared her life.

After a full day without food and shelter, Ophelia’s nanny, Lyia Lili, discovered her amongst the rubble of her former master’s household. Lyia decided to save her as well to be Ophelia’s playmate.

While raising her up, Lyia noticed her keen eyesight and steady hands. So Lyia asked her to use a musket to shoot a melon 50 meters away. Kaga landed all 3 shots. Impressed by her skills, Lyia taught her everything she knew about guns, and asked her to protect Ophelia. Kaga, who always thought of Ophelia as a friend and a sister, agreed.

However, because of her clumsiness and her impulsiveness, she caused more trouble for Ophelia instead. But also it is exactly because of this, it made her life a lot more vivid, and allowed her to meet a lot of new people that she would have not met otherwise.

Nana Nana

Story:

Nana may be one of the last of her kind. She does not where other Lunarians went, and she lived by herself in the forest beside the village Elynvill for as long as she could remember. She also self taught herself the magic of astrology to help her survival.

One day, she planned to hunt a wild hare she spotted. However, right as she conjured up a fireball, a bullet killed the hare. She saw a red haired girl walked over to pick up the hare and left. Nana was angry that the red haired girl stole her prey, so she stalked her until she went back inside the village. Nana was scared of going inside the village, so she went back to gather some berries to fill her belly instead.

The next day, she found a deer and so she decided to hunt it. Unfortunately the deer noticed her, so it kept on running away. After tracking it down for several hours, she found the deer again by a lake. Yet again, once she was ready to to go in for the kill, the bullet killed the deer.

Nana was outrageous, and decided to confront the the other hunter. It was the red haired girl again. The two of them couldn’t come to a resolution and had fight. Though she lost in the end, the red haired girl decided to split the deer. Intrigued by the girl and the new friend she found, Nana followed her into the village. There, she learned the name of the red haired girl is Kaga.
