Melia and Tyrea

Melia is the newly crowned empress of the High Entia race. She is kind and selfless, dedicated to again making her people safe and prosperous after they suffered a calamity that wiped out all pure-blooded High Entia. Melia herself had a Homs (human) mother, her mixed blood enabling her to survive the disaster that transformed all pureblood High Entia into monsters called Telethia.

Unfailingly graceful, feminine and dignified, as well as always speaking and behaving in a polite and proper manner, Melia makes for an ideal empress. However, she's on occasion willing to defy conventions, being an unusually hands-on ruler who wants to rub elbows with her subjects and personally attend to their troubles. Melia is far from helpless on her own, being a powerful mage, and while she's somewhat frail physically she's quite athletic, with Starlight Kick being a favored attack of hers.

Melia has suffered countless tragedies throughout her 89 years, and lost most of the people close to her, but has overcome it all and made many precious new friends. She does however have quite the low opinion of herself, bordering on self-loathing, and she's prone to overworking herself and generally pushing herself too hard, even risking her life for the sake of her people.

Being 120 years old, Tyrea is significantly older than Melia, but due to the long lifespans of the High Entia she still looks very youthful. She is the half-sister of Melia's late half-brother Kallian, so the two are not blood-related. In the past Tyrea hated half breeds like Melia, and Tyrea once even tried to assassinate her, but the calamity that killed off all pureblooded High Entia changed everything. In addition to seeing her race suffer tremendous hardships, Tyrea also learned that she herself had a Homs father (her large wings had lead her to believe that she was a pureblooded High Entia).

After her change in heart, Tyrea dedicated herself to scientific research instead of violence, trying to come up with a way to change the Telethia monsters back into High Entia, even though progress proved slow. She also made amends with Melia, going from hating her sort-of sister to becoming her greatest supporter. After Melia became empress, Tyrea assisted her in various ways and frequently accompanied her.

While a lot nicer than she used to be, Tyrea still tends to be quite blunt, unsentimental and even harsh. While she greatly admires Melia and views her as the Hope of the High Entia, Tyrea is greatly vexed by Melia's tendency to overwork herself and put herself at risk. At such moments, Tyrea won't hesitate to chastise or even discipline Melia, treating the empress as a misbehaving little sister.

Appearance: Melia and Tyrea are both young High Entia women, characterized by having wings on their heads and greatly extended lifespans. Melia has a slim and delicate build, small breasts, and standing just 1.56 m (5'1") tall, she's quite petite. She has silver hair braided on the back of her head with two large curls just above her shoulders, teal eyes, and a pair of rather small head-wings. Melia wears a short white and blue dress with large shoulders and a wide waist, a white collar with a large pink bow, thigh-high black boots, and a blue headband with white flowers.

Tyrea has large head-wings, and is slightly taller than Melia. She has a slim, athletic body, medium-sized breasts, pale skin, blue eyes and silver hair. Tyrea wears her hair in a braid with two loose strands framing her face, and the ends of her hair are pink and purple. She also wears pink eyeshadow. She's dressed in a tailed black coat with matching gloves, boots and leggings, as well as black underwear, but no pants.

During the evening Tyrea returns to the royal palace, only to find at that empress Melia has been working herself too hard again. With the two women currently being located in Melia's private chambers, Tyrea decides that only a proper, painful punishment will get through to the self-destructively selfless empress.
