character bios

Esther. A quiet, reserved girl from the city. She suffers from a disease known as Pale Cachexia. It drains her oof energy, putting her in a constantly lethargic state. Thoough she speaks little and prefers to follow rather than lead, Esther can be remarkably stubborn, especially when she's set her mind on something she wants to do.
Seina. Bright, optimistic, and always full of curiosity, Seina is a sprightly soul with a gentle heart. Due to her many years of solitude and independence, she possesses much more maturity and insight than most other girls her age. Years of hard work have made Seina far stronger than she appears at first glance. Despite her youth, she is more than capable of surviving alone.
Isaiah. A mysterious man whose tale is told in the past.
