Female

Went by Lyl when she was younger.

Protagonist

Peaceful evenings when no one is awake and the demons are weakest.

Asexual and aromantic

5'7

Dark brown, almost black

She has a rune carved into the skin of her right hand. It can never heal over all the way. Whenever Nijçs wants to get her attention, the scar bleeds, so she generally keeps a bandage and glove over that hand.

Lean

Dark brown

Human, half Sun native (South Asian) and half foreigner (white or East Asian?).

Gray

Long and wavy-curly, sometimes in a ponytail.

A crisp uniform with a white shirt, black trousers and a singed black cape. The symbol of the Brightened Sun army is embroidered on her back.

Channeling and controlling lots of whitefire at one time.

The rune on her hand binds a demon named Nijçs to her, who torments her dreams and walks around as a hallucination. He encourages her extreme violence on the battlefield. Oh, and she just has general hallucinations about her childhood and her aunt speaking to her. Depression. Is suicidal at some point, although Nijçs stops her.

Has never known a good night's sleep but can take a nap at a moment's notice. Has gotten used to ignoring things in the corner of her eye so surprisingly easy to sneak up on her if you look non-threatening.

For her whole life she hasn't really been able to do what she wants, so she kind of blindly does what her superiors want her to do. She wants to get free of Nijçs, although she has no clue how to go about that.

Lives in her own mind, assumes everyone hates her or doesn't care until they prove otherwise, has a hard time caring for human suffering.

Absolutely hates her aunt, also dislikes the Kingdom of the Shadowed Moon, although that last one is less personal and more because she's a general in the war against them.

She doesn't know what hobbies are :/

Despite being emotionally disconnected to others, she does care for people who show care to her. She will protect her friends, and when in her worst state of mind responds exclusively to them.

She is a master of light magic, meaning she can channel whitefire, a part of Astrice's essence infused in the ground. She can also channel whitefire directly from Hell, which makes her far more powerful than the average mage. Can materialize magic animals, giant tentacles to grab people, and a variety of weapons out of whitefire.

(noncommittal grunting sounds) Idk

The language of the Celestial Kingdoms.

Sparrows, birds in general.

Magic. Competent at swordplay, but since magic swords are so light she wouldn't be highly effective with a normal one.

Would answer black and white after a moment of consideration.

A mage-general in the army of the Kingdom of the Brightened Sun.

A general in the army of the Kingdom of the Brightened Sun. Could be fairly influential if she wanted to be. Nearly murders the queen at one point.

Basic mythology of the universe. Puts more trust in the goddess Astrice despite technically serving the god Lukant, since Lukant is absolutely terrible.

Mostly magical, although the mage-colonel who took care of her in her teenage years made sure she had passable practical education.

Her parents disappeared when she was very young, and she was raised by her mother's sister at the edge of the Sun Kingdom. Her aunt taught her in light magic, and was also mentally and physically abusive; Lorrehlyl still hallucinates her aunt lecturing her or getting angry. She ran away at 14 and was found by a mage-colonel after being caught for using unusually powerful magic on city guards. He sort of adopted her and put her in the army, where she remained until present day. He wasn't as cruel, but he trained her to follow orders and become a weapon, reinforcing her past trauma. At some point she picks up a friend in Gavrin, a neutral spirit that can shape-change into mammals and birds.

She isn't sure; her aunt never told her much about the circumstances of her birth, but she knows her parents met in a port city.

Don't know how the calendar works in this world, so I can't say.

None

Unknown; a foreigner from overseas.

Unknown; from the Sun Kingdom.
