5 Children, all are half-elves 1st Child: female, Lily (short for Lillian), age 25, born on February 1 (10 years after Bear's departure) 2nd Child: male, Nailan, age 21, born on December 24 3rd Child: female, Reika, age 19, born on August 28 4th Child: male, Kyreth, age 17, born on November 25 5th Child: female, Iris, age 13, born on March 8 (Ages valid between December 24 and Feburary 1) (Boy names are from http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/vortexshadow/names.html sorta) Lily ---- Lillian, commonly known as Lily, is the first born of Acuzio and Sakura Costello-Holly. Her short name was chosen by Sakura and comes from Sakura's little sister Sayuri (whose name means "small lily" in Japanese), while her full name comes from Acuzio's friend Lillian Alegon. She is very kind to most people, a trait she picked up mostly from her mother. She is somewhat truthful most of the time, also picked up from her mother, but she's picked up a bit of of her father in that she sometimes hides the truth or lies if the situation calls for it. She is very trusting of her family and close friends, but she has a hard time trusting others initially. She is very outgoing and playful, a trait picked up from hanging around Lilly Moonhowl and the Tart twins, Estelle (Ellie) and Corin. Because of Sakura, Lily does have a soft spot for chocolate, but to nowhere near the same intensity as her mother. Lily had decided to become a mage like her mother. After studying a bit, she decided to become a Sage, focused on the cosmic and white aspects, picked up from her mother and her "aunt" Dacq. In her free time, she enjoys practicing acrobatics and also likes to read, though nowhere near as much as her sister Reika. She also likes to sing. She enjoys taking photos and has a part-time job as a photographer. Lily is 5'10" tall. She is on the slender side, weighing in at 145 lbs. She has shoulder-length brown hair and amber eyes. She has a slight vision problem and only needs glasses to read. She usually wears short skirts with a belt (also containing a pouch for her camera), short sleeve v-neck shirts, and low-heeled shoes (about 1/2" to 1" heels), usually in complementary colors. She also usually wears light-colored panythose. She has been known to wear pants and sneakers when she is doing acrobatics or running. She also usually wears a pair of white flower-shaped earrings, as well as 2 silver bracelets on her right wrist and a silver watch on her left wrist. In her hair, she usually wears hairclips adorned with flowers matching her skirt's color on both sides of her head. Nailan ------ Nailan (meaning "oak son" in elvish), sometimes known as Nai, is nice but sarcastic most of the time. He has a very minor ego problem. He is not nearly as truthful as his other siblings, but he doesn't go out of his way to lie. He tries to be a good role model for his younger siblings, although he can be a tad lazy at times. He does have a rarely seen wild side, though. Other than his own family and friends of the family, he is very untrusting of others and usually doesn't give trust easily. He is on the loud side. He is indifferent about chocolate. From a young age, Nailan did not want to learn magic, instead wanting to learn how to fight. He had wanted to become a police officer, and when he was old enough, he eventually joined the force. He doesn't have much in the way of hobbies outside of work aside from working out to keep himself in shape for his job. Nailan is 5'11" tall. He is of an average build and weighs in at 160 lbs. He has slight-messy short red hair and dark brown eyes (nearly black, like his mother). His usual outfit (when off-duty) consists of a t-shirt, a long-sleeve vest, jeans, and boots. (POSSIBLE RENAME USING TOLKIEN SINDARIN: Doronion (doron [oak] + -ion [son of] "Son of Oak") Reika ----- Reika (meaning "lovely petal" in Japanese) was named by her sister, Lily. She is gentle and easy-going. She is a bit more of a neat freak than her other siblings, but nowhere near as bad as her mother. She is somewhat truthful, like the rest of her siblings, although she has been known to embellish a bit here and there. Being the middle child, she looks up to her older brother and sister and tries to be a good role model for her younger brother and sister (although it seems like she isn't doing so well with Iris). She cares very deeply for all of them and gets a bit worrisome at times, just like her mother. She did not pick up much of a soft spot for chocolate, but she will also not turn it down. She is a tad on the shy side. Because of this, she is highly book smart. Reika spends a lot of her time reading, although despite her shyness, she still tries not to go too overboard with it. She has a part-time job at the library, but also has a fascination with inventing and sometimes helps Felan Moonhowl with his work, and as such has wanted to become an engineer. She is highly intelligent, probably the most intelligent in her family, and she is able to handle reading books far beyond those that other children her age would've been able to. Despite Reika being a half-elf, she is only as tall as her mother, at 5'7" tall. She is about average build, weighing in at 135 lbs. She has had white hair since birth, keeping it neck-length short, and has blue eyes. At around the age of 3, it was found that she was nearsighted and needed glasses to see properly. She usually wears fancy dresses, along with simple flat shoes. She also usually wears a hairband, more for looks instead of being practical. Kyreth ------ Kyreth (meaning "arcane ruby" in elvish) has a bit of a girlish personality despite being a guy. He tries to be very empathetic towards others. He is cheery most of the time. He is the only child who is as truthful as his mother. He is also the only child to have as much of a love of chocolate as his mother does. Despite all this, he seems to have picked up a bit of an unlucky streak that seems to come from his father. He remains optimistic through this, however. Kyreth looked up to his mother a lot and enjoyed watching her dance so much that he decided to become a dancer himself. He is still trying to get as good as his mother (his unluckiness seems to be against him) and usually joins in on her dance lessons. When he is not practicing, he usually does acrobatics (sometimes alongside Lily), although this does not seem to have helped his scrawny physique at all. Kyreth is 5'9" tall. He is scrawny (and has a really high metabolism to be able to be scrawny while eating lots of chocolate) and weighs only 140 lbs. He has elbow-length sandy blond hair (like his mother) that he keeps in a top-knot and light brown eyes. He usually wears a loose tank top, dressy pants, and sneakers when he is not dancing. Iris ---- Iris takes more after her father than her mother. She is a bit mischievious but also tends to be a bit on the lazy side and doesn't help with chores nearly as much as she should. She doesn't exactly distance herself from her siblings, but she does tend to stay a bit out of sight of the others. Of all the children, she is the least truthful. She is far less trusting of others than any of her siblings, and sometimes even has a hard time trusting her own family. She is very sarcastic. Despite the large age gap, she looks more up to the Tart twins and Lilly Moonhowl than her own siblings. She also really admires Katilline Entane. She used to enjoy chocolate when she was younger, but as she got closer to her teenage years, she began to dislike chocolate. Iris seems like the black sheep of the children, and because of her personality, she has taken to learning some of the arts of thievery, much to the dismay of her parents. She may have also tried to dabble in black magic, noticing that her family does have an attunement to magic from her mother's side. Outside of this, she seems to enjoy just playing video games. Being that Iris is still a teenager, she is still growing, and is currently only 5'6" tall (she will get to be 6' when she reaches adulthood). She currently weighs 125 lbs (she will be 150 lbs when she reaches adulthood). She has elbow-length black hair (usually worn in a side ponytail) and sparkling golden eyes. She usually wears t-shirts along with ankle-high boots and while she would like to wear daisy-duke style shorts, her mother has forbid her from wearing them and she is forced to wear jeans instead.
