The Sisters
Baiko: She is the elder of the two Hyral sisters. Growing up in Sartania, she spent much time at prayer in the temple of Sartan. Her life was plain and unexciting in Sartania until a young man named Hireshmont surfaced, ready to serve Sartan. Although they got off to a rough start, the two became friends and began discussing thier views on the current situation of the realm. Baiko's spirit was lightened to find that another shared her view. The two eventually began the sect called the True Sartanians, devoted to the true ways of the God of War. They were eventually found out and banned from the realm for blasfemy. Hireshmont told Baiko to flee and to spread the church of the new god, Qyrvagg, she would have to do it on her own unitl the next prophet arose. Baiko fled to Lasanar with a heavy heart, knowing that her friend and leader would soon die. After joing Lasanar, Baiko served the warring duchy of Ossaet under a true warrior, Lord Draban. After receiving news of the third prophets arrival in Valentia, Beluaterra Baiko headed there to join her comrades. While en route to Valentia, Baiko received a message from her cousin that Hireshmont had been seen in Oligarch, alive and well. Her spirits soared at the news, her friend had escaped execution after all!
Baiko is the most traditional of the family. She wears distinctly eastern clothing and uses a naginata, a kind of polearm, in battle. She wears an orange cloth around her waist to signify her alligence to Qyrvagg. She is an accomplished duelist as well, challenging anyone who will answer to a duel for sport, she has won many a match. Baiko owns a small black fox called Kuro, he is usually off getting into trouble but at times he is quite useful.
Keiichi: Growing up with her pious sister was no easy task for Keiichi, she desired to learn the way of the warrior in order to truely serve the gods. Her father was against her training from day one but his vassals taught her many sword techniques and skills out of his view. Keiichi was always hot-tempered and that led to a row with her father after which she was told to leave and never return to her homeland. She did so gratefully, she boarded the first ship to Atamara and entered the port at Ser'quea. She decided to make the Ash Sea Islands her new home, swearing alligence to the Duke of Aja. She is fiercly loyal to ASI, always determined to fight on no matter the odds. She can often be heard saying "I will fight to my last breath! I'm in this until the bitter end!"
Keiichi's beauty is often over looked due to her rather foul tounge and sometimes violent personality, she has long, flowing dark hair and eyes the color of night. She wears a black, sleveless overcoat and underneath she typically wears very plain clothing, usually consisting of a simple sleveless shirt and long pants. Like her sister, she owns a small fox, Keiichi's is orange though. He is always getting into mischief, typically bothers the horses in their stables during the day.
The Beauty
Araia: Araia left her father on the Far East continent in the search of adventure. She met up with Baiko who told her of Keiichi's banishment. Apon hearing this Araia reasoned that wherever Keiichi went she was sure to find adventure. After a short stay with her cousin, Araia set off to Atamara where she met up with Keiichi. Araia had been staying in Aja for three days when the great war broke out. Keiichi told her not to leave the city if at all possible, she didn't want Araia getting caught in the war. After about two months of waiting around Araia decided to find her own adventure, she set off to find the homeland of her deceased mother after making her way to Ash'rily. She bid the fair islands a final farewell adn set off to the east continent. After a short journey she came upon Sirion, the realm of the elves. This was the place! It was exactly as her mother's childhood stories had described the land that she came from. She joined the realms service with haste. It is in Sirion that she recieved much attention from Darfix Firefox, a Lord of Sirion. She thought him trust worthy and swore alligence to him, soon she began to fancy him, although admittedly jealous of is "friend" Julia. (where will the relationship go? Nobody knows :P).
Araia is quite beautiful, she has dark hair that is pulled back and tied in a loose braid. Her eyes are the color of the deep forest. She typically dresses rather plainly and is not one for very fancy clothing. Before leaving the stranded city of Ash'rily, she witnessed the first food caravan to enter the island jewel since it's entrapment by Abbington forces. The man kept a small hawk with himon his trip but gave it to Araia as he could not keep it for the return trip. Araia promptly named her new companion Falas to honor the Falasan trader that aided the fair city. She uses him to send letters to her family back home and in Atamara, he is also her beloved pet.
