Ilke is the more curious of the two and easily gets herself in trouble. She often refuses to admit it when she's scared, even when she cries. Being Raised by Dudes without any real mother or big sister figure in her life, is she clearly a Tomboy. On their journey when they meet women she does pick up a few traits from them. Has a huge love for mothers, almost to the point of Les Yay, and really enjoys their scent and tone of voice.

She does not have much control of her powers in the beginning, causing her to hurt Alk badly once. But once she can control them does she mainly use them to help rather than to fight. She is the most fighting for Slave Liberation, seeing a slave causes her to free them. She can however be shy around strangers and then Alk has to talk for her. Got an invincibility cloak from the Air Prophets which she's really proud of.


In the comic:

    Closest Friends 

Tropes that fit all of them:

  • Dark and Troubled Past:
    • Sha-ra saw his mother die of an illness at a young age. His father then sent him and his brother away to a wizard who was turning crazy. Sha-ra bacame the favorite of the wizard, his brother got jealous and burned the castle to the ground with their teacher inside. He was then Happily Adopted by the Winter Bears, but it's implied much happened after that, which wasn't necisarily good.
    • Arol was going to visit Sha-ra with his brother and father, but on their way they were killed and skinned by the mortoks, happily Sha-ra saved Arol, but he still has Survivor Guilt and Hates Being Alone because of it.
    • Azur's is shown in his spin-off. He meets Ezau when he's swimming around and Ezau convinces him to come to a grotto they have been told is dangerous. When he enters Ezau makes sure he can't leave by normal means. Azur then searches for an exit in the dark being more and more frightned. After a long while he finds a omnious mace which Ezau tells him he wants. When he touches it, he can't let it go. When he leaves the Kraken follows him. When he returns to the village he gets banished until he can get rid of the mace as it's can be dangerous to the village. He goes to the surface and he's captured. The mace is forced from his hand and he's made a slave. The ship is destroyed by the kraken and another slave ship collects him and the others. He's freed by Ilke and escapes, his chains are broken by Ezau who has become a terraquz of his own free will. He only comes to a desert, his body dries up and sanity slips, and he's in a desperate state when Alk and Ilke meets him again.
    • Millian and her mother was left by their father who was going to protect them from her Evil Uncle. Her father was then killed by him (his own brother). Years later said uncle caught her and her mother. He beat up and abused her mother the same place he boasted about killing her father in. She was found almost dead in her mother's arms, and had King Veha come 1 minute later she probably would've been dead. Because of that she has no problem with killing.
  • Intergenerational Friendship: they're all much older than the twins in some way.
