Hey! The ban's kinda back on! My mom's been really PO'd lately, so I haven't gotten the chance to use the computer.
I don't really have anything to say, except that the special's coming along well, so here's the rest of the characters.
Third book;
Lus of Sae; Daughter of the dead leaders of Sae, she is under a lot of pressure, as are her triplet brother and sister, Luc of Sae and Lind of Sae. They were told to be leaders ever since they were eight, when their parents died, even though the city is temporarily being run by her uncle. It's like a competition to see who gets control of Sae. Sae, a city surrounded by thick forest, is hard to reach from any of the surrounding cities, so it is shrouded in mystery and oddity, as the behavior of Saes is not governed by any of the morals of other cities. Lus has one of three jobs in the city, which is Dye Maker. She grows the necessary herbs for dyes, and makes the dyes out of those. Since she has so much talent, she is allowed to use her dye to customize her own clothes and can sell her dyes in Aire any time there is a selling group going there. She likes to use purple to dye her clothes. When Sae is destroyed by fire, she is given the duty to lead the remaining Saes to safety. So, basically, she wins the competition. Born on October 12.
On of Nor; Working inside a mountain by day and calling like a wolf during the night, On has developed a very outgoing personality. When he finds himself helping out a load of Sae refugees, he finds it easy. Their leader, Lus of Sae, has an interesting personality, as do the rest of them. Though Nor has no space for more people, he is fully aware that Fia always needs more people to deal with all the metal coming out from Nor and Rill. He never considered the complications, the explaining, and confrontations, though. When he meets his fellow howler, Ru, he thinks he may finally have found a friendly face, but Ru is oddly aloof and cold. Before he knows it, he's gotten himself entangled in a mess he can't come even close to dealing with. In the end, an new city is founded where more people are needed, and all is well, but Ru still won't approach him. What's going on? Born on March 30.
Fourth Book;
Ru of Fia; From one of the three mountain cities in this country, she lives on the very border of the place. Though there is much happening outside her city, she is only interested in her work as a Metal Tender and in one of the other mountain cities, Nor. Since she was eight, she's had a habit of going out on the ledge outside her home and calling out, like a wolf, to two boys, one in Nor and one in Rill. When Nor and Rill, which both move to wherever mining is best on their side of Fia, are close enough to echo to each other, they all talk to each other. While the boy from Rill is always interesting, there is just a sort of wit in the words of the Nor boy that has made her obsess over him. When she and the Nor boy finally meet and it is clear that he is in love with a desperate Sae girl(Lus), she begins to work hard to get him to notice her instead. She becomes best friends with Lus in the process, and forms a fierce loyalty to her, too. Becomes a fierce warrior in the rebellion. Born on May 22.
Len of Rey; A family friend of Lus, Luc, and Lind, he's two years older than everyone else in the twelve. Ever since Lus became involved in the trading groups, he's become able to see the three of them a lot. He often feels that he has to protect them, even after Lind betrays them and Luc dies. Thus, he becomes very close to Lus afterward, and, like Roz with Cla, the feeling of protection develops into something else.Lives in the closest city to Sae. Even though he's been a hunter all his life, he's never been very good at it, so he's not exactly the most wealthy of all the people in Rey. Born on March 4th.
Fifth Book;
Per of Tii; When Kae lived in Tii, she always hated this boy. He is always talking about how important his father, an influential man on the International Relations Board, is dealing with supposed poverty issues in other countries, even though the worst are in their own country. Quite honestly, he's just a jerkface. In the beginning, anyway; As it turns out, he feels the same way about Tii as Kae, and has been sneaking bits of information out to people outside the city in order to help in the rebellion. This the other people in the twelve, except for An and Lind, don't know until the actual battle itself, in the seventh book. Born on August 6th.
Sho of Rill; From the most racial-friendly city in the nation(A place chock-full of albinos, including himself), he's always been very open to things that would normally repel anyone except the people who are used to that kind of thing. So, when Laux arrives in Rill, she's welcomed and respected as a psychic, especially by Sho. Since this is the first time she's been accepted by such a large group of people for her talents, she's almost convinced that she should just wait for the rebellion to run it's course and stay in Rill. Sho, though, has other ideas, and convinces her that she should listen to her dreams and go to Tii. He comes with her, and it proves to be a valuable decision, because it ends up being just that extra bit of fighting force that helps the rebels win. So, ultimately, Sho ends up being the savior of the country for that one little decision. Born on September 27th.
Sixth book;
Laux of Ra; Named after the most well known name in mythology and living in the most intelligent city in the nation, you'd think this girl would have a lot to be happy about. Instead, disturbed by nightmares of things to come and stories of hatred and sickness outside her city, she is intrigued, like many, by the city of Sae, which her dreams seem to center around. Rumors say that the most likely place that rebellion is to come from is Sae, and she seems to be the only one in her city who believes these to be true. Despite this intrigue, when Lus escorts Cla, Kae and Roz to Sae, she stays behind as instructed by her dreams. She is found to be one of the last psychics in the world, and becomes a key part of the rebellion. Born on January 14th.
An of Drae(Pronounced; Ao-wn of Drey); Before Lind goes to Tii, she flees west to Drae, the second most impoverished city in the country. There, she finds An, who doesn't quite have the same belief in Tii as her, but is very close. He believes that without Tii, the country will fall apart. The two stubbornly start towards Tii, despite An's recently broken leg, and on the way meet Len. Len tries to make them see sense, but is pushed aside by Lind, which makes him very angry. It is An's idea to destroy Ra in order to prove once more just how strong Tii is, losing the favor of all the rest of the twelve in the process. But, like Per, he actually has alternative motives; By gaining the trust of the Tiis and losing the trust of everyone else, he will have more power in bringing down Tii. He also helps in making Lind become sane again. Born on February 22.
The seventh book switches off between all of them, but even though he's not one of the twelve, Here's Lus's and Lind's brother, Luc.
Luc of Sae; It was always thought that he was the one who would take over Sae, even if Lus fit in with them so well. He's cool, calm, and collected, evidently the big brother of the trio from the very first glance. It was surprising to everyone who witnessed it that Lus was the one proclaimed to be the new ruler of Sae. He works as a Woodcarver, taking the lumber and carving it into things the country needs. Perhaps he wasn't selected to be the leader because he wasn't exactly the best of them, whereas Lus was always one of the main Dye Makers. Whether that was true can never be determined, though, because Luc is dead, and Lus is alive.
That's all of them! Finally, ending today's post, don't you think this song suits Lind and Lus really well? Like, if it's from Lind's point of view?
Sayonara, everybody!
