Shiraha Hanase of Winter
DOA, RIP


First Appears Issue Eight
Age 47 at death
Third best archer and finest Shamanist and Holy Man before he died.
"Look at him, all small and shriveled, like a raisin... takes after you, eh, Yamero?"

"The Ballad of Maxwell Demon" by Shudder to Think
What is said verses how it's said...how Hanase.

Shiraha Yamero of Winter

Ooo, mysterious.  Naw, he looks just like Quill.

First Appears Issue Eight
Age 48
Born January 1st (Capricorn)
Finest archer in Yume, Prophet with Shamanist and Holy skills
"I'm not dead yet!"

~For Yamero's song, Hanase suggested Weird Al's "Hey Now, You're a Porn Star." Yamero throttled him. Just as well, the dead should stay dead.

Bleizin Meadow
She looks a bit evil, don't she?

[Meadow Character Design]

First Appears Issue Eight
Age 18
Able with a bow or a knife
"Why did he miss yesterday? Did something happen?"

1st Theme: "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" by Bare Naked Ladies
She gets points for being the first Yume character to have a romantic theme. Of course, this song's half the story--as a theme, it only covers her place in the story, ignoring the rest of her personality. (This is a big discrepancy with the themes... do I look for past, present, future, personality, title, feeling?) I also feel this song is slightly creepy, which fits Meadow wonderfully.

Oyasumi Kotobiwa of Virgo
She could poke an eye out with those lashes

[Character Design]
[Color Character Design]

First Appears Issue Nine
She can probably whack you with that instrument pretty hard.
"I'm a wanderer. I'm... wandering."
Sprite of Autumn
He's not usually this rabid.

[Sprite Character Design]
[Sprite Color Design]

First Appears Issue Nine
Age 29
Earth type Magic (Rank of Half a Cape)
He's immensely rich, magical, strong and popular. Not only does he believe in what he fights for, he can convince others of it.

"Unfortunately, we believe in justice, not prophecy."

1st theme: "Solitary" by VNV Nation.
~I had doubts about this one. The sound isn't exactly medieval, and you can argue about the lyrics (they factored heavily in my choice) but time after time, on hearing this, I would think of Sprite. This I suppose is the truest test.

Ki Locke of Spring

And I didn't get this profile when I first appeared--why?
First Appears Issue Nine
Age 25
Healing type Magic (Rank of Partial Cape)
Absurdly good with a katana
"My family is an epidemic."

1st Theme: "Put Your Lights On" Everlast featuring Carlos Santana
~Locke gets a dark theme. Certain things about Locke are never going to be revealed--but he contested aggressively in my mind for this theme.
