Aether is a short Unsundered Ancient with short bluish hair tipped with snow white. Her eyes are silver showing her blindness as she sees through the aether just like Y'shtola Rhul. However, her vision can also see into the souls of others.She usually dresses in dark outfits, although the most popular is a black leather suit with silver buttons, a long neck to hide her mouth if necessary, adorned with a pair of belts. Said suit has some beautiful embroideries due to the folds that it drops from the hip. The rest are simple black boots, black pants and black leather gloves.Currently, her attire has changed as she is no longer afraid to show who she truly is, her features, or her scars. This outfit consists of a bluish top with gold details and small belts across her chest. Her neck is exposed, clearly revealing her scar. She wears mismatched shoulder pads; the left one has white feathers while the right is bare. Over these, on both sides, she wears gold shoulder pads similar to those on her father's (Themis/Elidibus) Ascian armor. She now always wears her father's red mask as one of his legacies. Around her waist, she wears several belts and a white scarf with gold details. She completes the outfit with shorts with gold trim and blue and white cotton stockings sewn by her wife, Shee.As for scars, Aether have three huge ones on his chest, made by her "void" part when she protected Shee from her. Said scars are very large, and the skin around them has turned gray from the corruption of the attack. These scars shine depending on the form she takes and the power of her attacks. When she takes her "void" form, they glow with shades between reddish and lilac, and when she takes her feral form, they glow in bluish tones, simulating aether.She also has a couple of small scars on her face that are not important, her arms and hands are full of small scars and many more due to the harsh experiments and battles to which she was subjected, to which a large one is added around her neck made with a punishment collar and on her wrists with tight shackles.She has some white tattoos on her face, which were made by her wife Shee. These symbolize balance. They shine in the moonlight. On the other hand, Aether have a huge birthmark on her back, which glows when she uses her powers. This symbolizes the aether and the bright stars that make up the balance of it.In the present, she has already recovered her own balance, so her neutral appearance has changed a bit. Now Aether has two tails like in her real form and can take out her four wings whenever she wants, her horns too as well as adopt a trance form that increases her aetheric control more than normal without transforming into her true form. Apart from that, she can adopt any of her forms whenever she wants although her attitude is unique in each of them.Hanging from her neck, Aether now wears the mask of her father Themis.Aether at her full power, shows her father's glyph, but instead of being red, it is turquoise.

-ˋˏ ༻✿༺ ˎˊ-

Appearances can be deceiving, and although Aether may seem cold and distant at first glance, she's actually quite the opposite.While she's serious, she's actually sweet and very friendly with those around her, especially her friends. With her wife, Shee, she's undoubtedly more affectionate and free to be herself, unafraid to transform in her presence.When you first meet her, she might hesitate and prefer to keep her distance, but little by little, if you show her you have a kind heart, you'll discover her true nature.Aether tends to remain calm and think before she acts, even in challenging situations, but her nerves of steel crumble when Epsilon sas Theta makes an appearance.She can't stand being called a "monster" or being despised for her appearance or who she truly is. This also applies to others; she can't bear to see people treated with the same contempt.She's protective of her friends, but perhaps overly so with her wife. If anything were to happen to Shee, she wouldn't be able to hold back her anger. She loves Shee with all her soul and does everything possible to see her smile, and above all, she makes sure Shee lives as much as she can and as her illness allows.In each of her forms she has a different attitude and personality, but she is still herself.

-ˋˏ ༻✿༺ ˎˊ-

Aether has three forms which behave differently while their powers are different, these are her "void" form, her feral form and her real form:

This form is NOT a voidsent.In this form she behaves quite smug, she always looks to waver and is looser than normal. Teasing but certainly something "tsundere", she always claims that she is the most powerful of the voidsent and that she should be feared, but Shee does not take her very seriously because of those adorable and "fluffy" ears that she moves depending on her " mood”. Her left horn is the one that is broken. This form absorbs the aether, being part of the balance that it constitutes with the other form.

She sports an adorable pink snoot, white fur, cat-like paws, adorable pink paw pads, and huge white wings with which she often hugs Shee, hides, or curls up to sleep. Her aether-filled eyes glow with intensity and a strong aether aura emanates around her, unfortunately blinding her completely. Therefore, the way she detects others is through the changes of aether, sound and smell. She is calmer but more affectionate and playful, being more open in this form. The horn split in this form is the right one. She cannot talk, she growls / meows / purrs if she wants to say something, although unfortunately it is very difficult to understand her.

Her aura is much stronger than the feral form giving aether around her or taking it away, as well as carrying four rather large white wings, her horns are now complete and with their markings shining brightly, her eyes give off and they are full of aether. Aside from her, she also has a halo of light behind her (Zodiark or Hydaelyn type). She retains several things from her other forms, but more from the feral part such as fur and feline paws. She can make different manifestations of aether like claws that appear on her hands which change color depending on whether she absorbs aether (red like her void part) or gives it off (blue). Her attitude is usually quiet, it would be, even if you hurts her, she keeps her face the same, at most you can see her pain through tears. But she can talk (just in the Ancient's language) and be closer to people, unfortunately she is very distrustful and distant. Only Shee manages to talk to her the times that she appears. Little else is known of this form.

-ˋˏ ༻✿༺ ˎˊ-

Created by Themis with his own blood, that feline would be baptized as “Aether”, going from being a simple creation to being the daughter of the Emissary.Lahabrea wanted to banish her to Pandemonium because he believed that the little feline was a very dangerous being and it was better to keep her locked up. However, the other members of the council refused, defending the little Aether and Themis from an unfair trial.The little feline would live happily in Elpis and Amaurot, learning about everything around her and creating bonds with the different Ancients there. She would win the hearts of some of them and that would help her future destiny.However, when the Final Days began, Themis would take Aether to the Aetherical Sea, leaving her safe from that cruel fate and where she would sleep for millennia before appearing on Corvus, where her worst nightmares would begin.Aether carried a special bond with the aether with which she could manipulate it and use it at will, which is unknown from whom she inherited or how she got it, but unfortunately that only attracted what would be her worst nightmare.It all started when a Garlean named Epsilon sas Theta discovers the existence of Aether and that created a horrible need to have her in his clutches, not only because of the power that came with having the little Ancient in his hands, if not all the experiments he could do with it in order to turn her into an unstoppable weapon, developing her powers in a very cruel way. Therefore, without feeling and with complete coldness, he would kill the Miqo'tes tribe who found her in order to kidnap her and start the whole process starting with Epsilon calling himself her father and treat Aether all the time as her precious daughter, but…Epsilon named her Experiment 001 - Aether, or Little Aether for short, and subjected her to horrible experiments, tests, and battles for years that left a horrible scar on Aether's heart and body. Every day those scars on her body increased in number, sometimes they had her locked up in a cage where Epsilon mocked her or the Garleans despised her calling her a monster, even covering her mouth if she didn't stop asking for help or crying and other sometimes in some huge tubes where they kept her asleep and they could rehearse the shape changes she could do.All that torture and loneliness lasted for many years, until in one of the tests in that tube, Aether released a great wave of power that would break the glass and she would finally free herself, entering a trance where she would use that power to defeat or even kill the Garlean helpers who were trying to stop her, and Epsilon, seeing that he was the only one who could do anything, failed to stop her, taking a blow to the face and leaving a huge scar on it. In this way Aether managed to escape, and she ran as far as her strength allowed her, falling unconscious hours after what happened.But somehow, she woke up in a pleasant house in Gridania. Everything pointed to someone having found her unconscious in the forest and decided to save her. Her wounds were bandaged and healed, and the collar that had been around her neck was gone. A few minutes later, a Hrothgar entered the house with more firewood for the fireplace and saw that the feline had finally awakened. Relieved to see her alive, he approached, but Aether backed away in fear until her back was against the wall, trying to hide under the covers, while she spoke in a language the Hrothgar couldn't understand. That language was that of the Ancients. But despite Aether's distrust, he didn't give up, and day after day he won her trust, helping her recover, teaching her not only to speak but also to read, and showing her the wonders of a world she had never seen. That Hrothgar was her mentor, her father for years, until Aether, determined to find out who she really was and where she belonged since her memories were blurred.At this point, she would begin her adventures as WOL.(WIP)Presently, she regained her memories.Aether is really an entity that maintains the balance of aether throughout Etheirys. She can die if someone stabs her, for example, but she can't die because of age. This, at the moment, she does not know nor the great pressure that she has behind her back, being the entity that helps to maintain the aetheric balance of the universe, a goddess with an eternal mission.The new emissary and the new heart of Zodiark.

-ˋˏ ༻✿༺ ˎˊ-

As I said before, Aether is in a relationship with Shee Kaan, she is currently her wife since they were happily married. They currently live peacefully in Lavender Beds, where they enjoy their life as long as they do not have to go on adventures. You will almost always see them together, Aether is deeply in love with her and would not allow anything to happen to Shee.Aether tirelessly investigates the disease that her wife suffers from and helps her control it when it activates.Shee calls Aether "My Little Star" while Aether calls Shee "My Shiny Moon". The Bard always sings songs to Aether so that she can see what she can't see because of her eyesight.With her, Aether can be herself, without fear of being seen as a monster. Shee has managed to make Aether shine again.

-ˋˏ ༻✿༺ ˎˊ-

Aside from having control over aether regardless of its element, Aether is able to see people's souls. However, this is restricted by her aetheric vision.She enjoys fighting with different classes, wanting to be versatile in battle if necessary, her favorites being Reaper, Machinist, Viper, Summoner, Pictomancer, Gunbreaker, and Sage. She is proficient in the other classes but is considerably weaker compared to her favorites.Currently, she can change between her forms at will, although she only uses her true form in very serious situations or if she has been sufficiently angered. Each form has its own way of attacking and using aether.Aether can create aetheric hands that aid her in battle, although she sometimes uses them in her daily life for tasks.She has powers similar to her father's, however, she prefers to use them in her own way.She can create small silhouettes with aether simply to make demonstrations outside of battle or to confuse her opponent if necessary.Aether can give and take away aether at will; however, this is just in her true form. Although she can do so in her neutral form but it is more limited.The feline is like an unlimited aether battery, but she has her weaknesses, such as auracite or certain Magitek devices created by Epsilon specifically to fight against her or capture her.(WIP)

-ˋˏ ༻✿༺ ˎˊ-

Shee is energetic, decided and cheeky. She likes to tease and laugh at everyone and everything, but specially loves to mock her enemies.She likes to sing and act, for her music is a way of expressing herself and she likes to give an espectacle to her fans and her foes. She composes her own music but she also designs choreographies, scenery...When she goes into battle, she likes to make it a scene to remember.She is very competitive and always looking for adventures and challenges to beat, it is hard for her to resist to a bet and she hates to lose.She is very overprotective with her second wife Aether, and gets dead serious when something bad happens to her. A somber of the trauma for the loss of her first wife.

-ˋˏ ༻✿༺ ˎˊ-

Shee comes from a traditional Keepers of the Moon family and was raised in the deepest parts of the forests of Gridania. Her birth name is Ehsi Kaan. She used to live with her parents (Sera Kaan and Nihr'to Mahjo) and her sister (Thiri Kaan) and she rarely had contact with civilization. Althought she was always a good hunter, she always preferred way more the family traditions of sitting around the campfire and singing and dancing to the moon.Her sister, however, was an avid warrior, always trying to prove herself and get Shee to become a fighter like her and once her mother. Shee's mother used to be an adventurer before settling down with her husband, and used to tell a lot of stories to the girls. Shee loved to hear the stories and used to daydream about traveling herself, but she could not see herself leaving her family.When the seventh umbral calamity hit the lands, Shee's family was totally unaware of the fight that was going on, but they knew something was wrong about the moon and the stars. Even with their prayers, soon after Bahamut's fall,the disturbance of aether that affected the forests and the creatures also hit the family, and Shee's mom fell ill. Noone in the near tribes did know a cure, and so their father departed to Gridania to search for one while the girls took care of their mother. He never came back. As the seasons passed, the relationship between the sisters dried up more and more as their mother grew weaker and weaker.Shee received all the blame and frustration from Thiri, that started travelling out more and more further to look for a remedy. Shee stayed caring about her mother and spending time with her. On one of her final days, Sera told Shee words that she would never forget: "My dear. This world is changing, and we can't hide here in the forests forever, as we used to do. When I am no more, I want you both to go and see the beauty outside these woods, and discover the wonders and terrifying things out there. They will make you grow and complete you."When their mother finally died, the sisters had a very heated discussion. Shee wanted to travel around the world and help people like her mother wished, now that there was nothing tying them to their lands, while Thiri wanted to settle down in their territory and form a new family to perpetuate the memory of their parents, like their traditions said. They sorted the discussion with a duel, which Shee lost, getting badly injured. Angry about her sisters ways, she awaited until she went to sleep, packed her things and ran away, riding a carriage leading to Gridania. She changed her name to "Shee" so her sister could not track her down easily and start a new life like her mother would had wanted. She kept her surname as "Kns" in honor of her family name and her parents, Kaan, Nihr'to and Sera.When Shee started to get more fame as an adventurer, Thiri found her on New Gridania and tried to call her out as a fake, weak hero, challenging her yet again to a duel. Shee refused to fight, but her sister forced her to. Shee easily won the duel this time, and made her sister see the thruth of her story. Thiri returned to the forest and they exchange letters often.Shee met her new family (PANTS) soon after facing her best primal, and there she fell in love with another adventurer, Lilith Elena. They quickly became deeply attached and soon they got married, usually going on adventures together and dreaming on the day Eorza would finally live on peace so they could happily settle down and peacefully live together for the rest of their lives.However, things went downhill when the Crystal Exarch summoned Shee in The First. When she went back to the Source, she found out that her old family had completely disappeared on thin air. Their house was gone, and nobody seemed to know even their names, like they never existed. Anxious, Shee used the power of the Eternity Ring to try to get close to Lilith, but even that didn't work. They were all gone, and the Exarch had no idea how to bring them back. She hated him deeply for it and did never trust him during her time in The First. During this time, Shee found a new family on the Scions and became way more attached to them, mostly to evade herself from her worried. She did her best to keep her spirits high enough to keep fighting and helping the Scions. Shee kept a diary of her adventures in The First, and gave it to Alisaie when in the galleries of the Tempest, asking her to search for Lilith in case she didn't survive and became a Lightwarden. On the Final Battle on The Dying Gasp, the Exarch summoned her old companions from PANTS, but they vanished shortly after the battle was done. Before disappearing, Shee and Lilith promised each other they would find a way to be together again, and Alisaie gave the diary to her. Right after this, Shee snapped at the Exarch for lying and betraying her and tried to attack him, but the Scions managed to stop and calm her.After these events, Shee became obsessed with bringing Lilith back, looking for a way to be with her again and keep her promise, but as time passed her hopes faded and she became more and more enclosed on her sadness. She stopped singing out of battle and she became very serious and full of rage and resent. She did not understand why the destiny had forsaken her like that. She isolated herself more and more, and not even the Scions could reach her anymore. She confronted the events in Endwalker like usual, but the struggle of saving the world just added to her pain. After the final battle she decided she did not want to fight anymore and just gave up on her life, assuming her wounds would take her to the aetherial sea. She lost conciousness and had a lucid dream where she met Lilith. A manifestation of her, produced by Shee's deepest wishes and the enviroment of pure dynamys.She thought she was already dead, but Lilith confirmed she was just struggling between death and life, and that she had the choice to just rest and stay with her, or fight and live for the tomorrow. Shee wanted to give up and confessed her feelings and her struggles, and Lilith answered that whatever her choice, if she chose life she should not feel sad or misserable. Lilith asked her to live and to stop looking for her, and to try to rebuild her life and be happy again. Shee made a choice and decided to live and to listen to her wife's wishes.It was not an easy task to let go, as Shee had her bounds deeply ingrained on her heart. She had a deep fear now to get too attached to anyone and lose them again, and so she kept her way alone, and pushed everyone that tried to get to her away. She started to spend more and more time on her house on Lavender Beds, since she felt most comfortable on her home forest.One day she saw another miqo'te roaming around her area. She did not give her too much importance at first, and assumed she was a new neighbor, but she noticed she never went to any of the houses in the ward. She followed her a few times and realized she always went to the lake and always sat alone on one of the floating gazebos. Shee thought she seemed lonely, and felt like she had to do something about it, so she started to slowly approach the blue haired miqo'te and talk to her. She found out that her name was Aether Stellarum. She was quite dry and distant at first, which resonated a lot with Shee's distant attitude, but far from giving up she felt like she had to reach to the other girl more, for she did not want anyone to suffer like she did. She soon realized she was having feelings for this person, feelings she hadn't felt for a long while. One of the days they were talking by the lake it started to rain heavily, so they went to the floating gazebo. There, Shee confessed her feelings and told her story to Aether. She thought she would toss her to the water, but to her surprise, Aether corresponded with the feelings and also opened up on her past and why she behaved so cold with others.Shee felt like she could love someone again and her good mood quickly came back to her. She felt like she wanted to laugh, sing and be happy again. Aether also seemed comfortable and happy with her, but kept her distance with others, so Shee helped her in interacting with others. All she knew is that she gaver her something that she lost years ago, and she would do anything to keep it that way.

He is two meters tall, has snow-white hair with a thin ponytail that rests on one of his shoulders. Blood-red eyes, a huge scar that runs across his face made by Aether when she escaped from the laboratory. His clothes are a scientific lab coat, red tie, black shirt and pants and he wears three golden dew-shaped earrings that hang in both of his ears.

-ˋˏ ༻✿༺ ˎˊ-

His personality is manipulative, serious in his work but many describe him as a crazy psychopath with his goals. Cold and calculating, he is very smart and will always be two steps ahead of you in anything, especially in mind games. And don't be fooled by his appearance, Epsilon is really very strong physically and many fear his blows and his skill with the gunblade.He is obsessed with Aether, he wants to have her back in his clutches to achieve his ambitious goals. He proclaims himself her father and does not care about the Ancient's denials regarding it.But the only one with whom he shows his true loving, calm and protective side is with Aulus mal Asina, his beloved. Epsilon is very protective with him, Aulus always brings out his loving side and the scientist feels that he can be himself next to the violet-haired one. Epsilon would do anything for Aulus.

-ˋˏ ༻✿༺ ˎˊ-

Epsilon was born in Garlemald, into a fairly prestigious family in the Empire. His father is Gamma Theta, but nothing is known about his mother, as she died in childbirth and his father never wanted to talk about it as it left a very large wound in his heart.Epsilon, throughout his childhood and adolescence, was always seen as a child prodigy for his intelligence and his curious way of solving things, but his intelligence was obviously not the only thing he inherited from his parents, but strength. He stood out both in scientific research and in tests of strength, getting the best grades at the academy on numerous occasions. However, one day his father had to go on a mission from which he never returned, days after his disappearance Gamma was declared dead, leaving Epsilon orphaned in that world where he only wanted to make his father and his country proud.Epsilon generated a lot of anger and sadness with the death of his father, blaming him without reason for leaving him alone but at least Aulus was always by his side to cheer him up, the only person who showed him true friendship. His path was formed little by little, beginning to create a very great desire to become the Emperor of the Garlean Empire, for love of his country and because he had undoubtedly created a certain desire for superiority and leadership, he wanted to take the Empire beyond its current desires and he saw himself capable of doing so without making mistakes and conquering everything the Empire wanted.And there, between studies and plans, he found years later his key to that desire, Aether Stellarum. In his laboratory, while he was absorbed in his research, the aether meters began to beep like never before, reaching impossible numbers or breaking the devices. Epsilon was amazed, who could generate such an astonishing amount of aether that would cause those well-prepared detectors to break like that? His answer would come when he saw the monitors, which helped him control interesting areas with well-camouflaged cameras and small Magitek robots.That was caused by a small feline that seemed to be a small Miqo'te but its features were more animal, with white fur in all her body, paws, and not only that, also wings and horns, undoubtedly a creature never seen before.And at that moment, Epsilon created an obsession around Aether.The scientist saw how a nomadic tribe of Miqo'tes picked her up from where she had appeared out of nowhere, obviously wanting to give the small and strange feline a home so that she would not die unjustly in the snow. That only caused a fatal destiny for that tribe, since Epsilon would quickly mobilize soldiers under his command, with him in charge and with a mission: Kill the entire tribe to keep the feline and so that there would be no witnesses.And so it was, overnight, Epsilon and the soldiers mercilessly killed the small nomadic tribe, in cold blood and staining the white snow with innocent blood for the ambition of a psychopath eager for power. He took little Aether from the cold arms of the corpse of that Miqo'te who with so much love wanted to give her a future and Epsilon proclaimed himself the father of Aether, thus beginning the painful story of the Ancient, daughter of Themis.

-ˋˏ ༻✿༺ ˎˊ-

Epsilon is married with Aulus mal Asina.And how is it possible if in the canonical events of the game Aulus dies at the hands of the WOL, in this case Aether?Epsilon and Aulus knew each other from way back, almost since childhood. They were very good friends, almost always seen together. When Epsilon received the news of his father's death, Aulus was by his side constantly. He was the only person who was there to cheer him up and, above all, the one who gave Epsilon the strength to continue his wishes, and especially in the research they worked on together years later, when they discovered the ancient feline Aether, in those moments they where boyfriends.However, when Aether confronts Aulus in Ala Mhigo, the feline believes that she has killed him, however he was still alive, at least for a few minutes after the battle. At that moment, Epsilon, who was following the feline's trail and undoubtedly knowing the situation, saved Aulus from death when Aether left the place, putting aside his obsession with capturing the feline again to save the life of his boyfriendFor several months, Epsilon put aside the idea of recovering Aether and took care of Aulus until he fully recovered. Epsilon worked day and night without rest because he did not want to lose the only person who was by his side in the past and for whom he undoubtedly had feelings. When Aulus was able to return to a normal life again, Epsilon told him to participate again in his previous plan, one that Aulus was a part of for a long time until the violet-haired man decided to do some research on his own and separate their paths and where he began to work for Zenos. Aulus accepted.After working together again, months later they got married. It wasn't a big wedding, they didn't need that either, for them only the union they had made over all these years was enough.

Thiri comes from a traditional Keepers of the Moon family and was raised in the deepest parts of the forests of the Black Shroud. She used to live with her parents (Sera Kaan and Nihr'to Mahjo) and her sister (Ehsi Kaan) and she rarely had contact with civilization.Sera's family lived close to her sisters and aunts, and so, they visited them a lot during Thiri's childhood. Even if Sera was not welcome at the tribe, Thiri was loved and cherised by everyone and most of them treated her well. When her sister Ehsi was born, she was enthusiastic and spent most of her energies being a good role model and a protector for her little sister. They spent most of the time together and they were very close.When Thiri came of age, she did her adulthood test, and easily passed, which meant she had earned her traditional face markings tattooed. Thiri chose to wear her mother's markings, and since that moment, the relationship with the rest of her family changed. Some of her aunts criticized her for following her mother steps and accused her of not following the path of their family. A few of her cousins stopped hanging out with her, and the general atmosphere when she was around turned out uncomfortable. Thiri stopped going to visit her family and blamed it on her mother, confronting her and questioning her choice. She thought following the steps of her mother was a mistake.When it was Ehsi's turn to earn her marks, Thiri tried to dissuade her to get other markings, so she would not be rejected by her family as well. However, Ehsi had very clear that she wanted to wear the same markings as her mother and her sister.Sera started to get sick a few months after the fall of Dalamud, when Ehsi was 19 and Thiri was 22. They took care of their mother until Nihr'to left in search of a remedy and they had no notice of him 3 months after. At that point, Sera was already bed ridden, and Thiri started to travel herself outside the borders of their territory. She tried to get help from her family, but discovered others were sick too and nobody knew how to cure the illness. So she decided to travel further away in search of a remedy, traveling for days and weeks before returning home, always hand empty. The desperation of seeing her mother worsening at each visit made her grow more aggressive towards her sister, blaming her of their situation, until Sera finally died. Thiri found out when she returned from one of her expeditions, finding Ehsi all alone. The anger and the frustration got to her and, once again, she charged against her little sister, blaming her for the loss of their parents. She decided they would join the rest of their family, and start anew there, but Ehsi refused and said that she wanted to explore the world as their mother once did. The sisters discussed and ended fighting, and Ehsi ended badly beaten up. That same day, Ehsi sneaked out of home and fled, leaving Thiri alone. She did join her aunts and cousins, and most of them received her with open arms after learning about the situation. Some of the oldest miqo'te still looked at her skeptical, but noone opposed to her living there.However, Thiri still wanted to bring her sister back home, and also look for her father, who was still missing. After a bit, she packed her things and traveled the furthest she had been from her home in the heart of the forest, and got to Gridania. She knew her father had traveled there, so she tried to look for hints. She noticed the hostility of the Gridaninans for her kind, and it was very difficult for her to find any clue, since no one seemed like they knew Nihr'to. After looking around and talking with the Keeper tribes living around the city state, she discovered the fatal truth: He father had been murdered by the Gridanians, who mistook him for a poacher.Thiri had a huge resent for Gridanians, but she got even more angry when she found out her sister Ehsi, now under the name “Shee”, was working and helping the Twin Adders, the murderers of his father. The Legend of Shee the warrior of light and god slayer got to her and she came to the conclusion she had to be bluffing it. There was no way Ehsi could do such things. When she finally met her sister face to face in Gridania, she revealed the truth to her, and called her out for her lies. She confronted her sister in direct battle but this time she lost.Ehsi explained to her that the stories were true and that she faced Gods and the Garlean Empire. And that she traveled because that was their mothers last wish. She helped everyone she could, met friends and became a known adventurer.Confused and with mixed feelings, Thiri returned home for a while.(WIP)

He is Epsilon's father.The Empire presumed him dead after a mission they had entrusted to him and the evidence pointed to the Garlean's unknown death, but the truth is that he had faked it.Despite being born Garlean and indoctrinated with the same ideals as the Empire, Gamma never shared them, but he actually shares the same desires as his son, but would take a different path.He would create a cult called The Order of Balance, which claimed to seek union and peace for the star thanks to the one true goddess, ending injustice and corruption. But, ironically, like his son, they would need Aether to achieve their goal. In order not to be recognized, he always wears the mask of the leader of the cult and would be addressed as "Kayn", hiding his true identity.He currently has many followers under his command and with that much power, which he would soon use to claim the one he calls his goddess.(WIP)

"SONGS FOR HER"

(WIP)

(More characters soon!)

Aether Stellarum, is a short girl with short blue hair with white tips. She has several earrings in her ears and always wears her blue scarf everywhere. Before she went blind, Aether drew a lot, she loved creating characters and drawing scenarios. Her intelligence is above average and she always stands out in all subjects, but despite everything, her aspiration and dream was to be an illustrator, a dream that was shattered when a fatal event left her totally blind forever. Aether has two pets, one would be a Golden Retriever who is her guide dog, his name is Ace and he always wears a green scarf around his neck. On the other hand, her other pet is a white cat, with long fur and blue eyes called Shiro, unlike most cats with the same characteristics, Shiro would not develop deafness.She is the biological daughter of Themis, who died in an accident of unknown origin when she was only five years old. Due to issues of closeness and friendship, Epsilon Theta, along with his husband Aulus Asina, would end up with custody of Aether, becoming the blue-haired girl's adoptive parents.Her childhood was quiet, although little Aether never had friends, it was very difficult for her to relate to others for various reasons, so drawing helped her a lot to get through those lonely moments at school. When Aether arrived at the High School, the worst stage of her life would begin, as she would suffer bullying in silence and without rest for her natural hair, for her eagerness for drawing, for her way of being, there were always reasons for the aggressors. But one day, there was a joke that got out of hand, which caused Aether to go totally blind in both eyes, and not only that, she would also have for life a huge scar that would run half of her face, occupying part of her nose and around her eyes.Epsilon was already very overprotective of her, but that made him even more so, reaching very unhealthy levels of concern for Aether. Apart from reporting the High School for not taking action, he would also report the minors for the bullying they had done for years, not only to Aether but to other children and finally, he moved Aether to the institute where Epsilon and Aulus worked as science teachers, in order to have Aether better cared for and controlled.And little by little, Aether would end up hating Epsilon for how obsessive he was being with protecting and controlling her. It was true that at first it was very difficult for the girl to adapt to being blind, but she would manage to function very well in the environment. Epsilon, since Aether is in the High School where he works, does not let ANYONE get close to Aether, taking very drastic measures on people who did, which caused everyone in the institute to be afraid to approach her because Epsilon would suspend them, punish them or send them more homework. Obviously Aether would hate him more, she wanted to have friends and even Aulus helped her in secret to be able to have friends, but with Epsilon it was impossible.But there was a girl who had the courage to approach her.That was Ehsi Kaan, better known as Shee, who was unaware of Epsilon's warnings and did not care either. The music lover was Aether's first friend and little by little, they became girlfriends.Epsilon couldn't stand Shee, he thinks she's a girl who is a bad influence for Aether, someone lazy who isn't interested in learning, but really Shee is very intelligent, Epsilon was the problem of Shee's disinterest in her subject. Aulus repeated this to Epsilon many times, but Epsilon denied it since he was the one who had had the experience with the music lover. Therefore, the detestable science teacher would try to separate Shee and Aether in one way or another, without success, which only worsened the relationship between Aether and Epsilon.However, curious is the fate, that Shee, along with Aulus, would be the person who would teach Epsilon how to approach and treat Aether.(WIP)

Ehsi is a high school student with a passion for music.Her parents died one year ago in a car accident, and now her big sister Thiri takes care of them both, as Ehsi is not of age for working yet. Thiri works and studies and earns just enough to keep them afloat, but both sisters know that won't be enough for Ehsi to study a musical career. Ehsi was never a brilliant student, but after losing her parents she started missing classes, getting in trouble and her califications sinked. She only likes going to class so she can stay in the music room, where she practices for hours and hours during the evenings.(WIP)

In this AU, Epsilon is not a villain, quite the opposite. Despite maintaining his attitude and being more serious than usual, he is Aether's actual adoptive father alongside his husband Aulus Asina.Epsilon is one of the Science teachers at the school where this AU takes place. Serious and dedicated to his work, Epsilon always strives to make his work perfect despite only teaching a few high school kids.When Aether's parents died in a terrible accident that little is known about, Epsilon would take care of the one who at that time was a little 5-year-old orphan girl. He had always been overprotective of her, but that attitude became more visible when something happened that would mark Aether forever.At the previous institute where she was, the blue-haired girl suffered bullying in silence and a joke that got out of hand ended up leaving Aether totally blind and with a huge scar on her face. Epsilon and Aulus were quick to act, reporting the bullies and not only that, moving Aether to another institute, right where they both worked, so they could keep her in sight in case something happened.All this caused Epsilon to become too overprotective of her, to the point that he didn't let anyone get close to the blue-haired girl, be it good or bad, for fear that they could hurt her again.For that reason Aether began to hate Epsilon, she couldn't stand how controlling he was with her regardless of what Epsilon thought and not only that, because of Epsilon, Aether had no friends and many people avoided being with her for fear of Epsilon.After all, Epsilon just wants to take care of her, but his methods are not the most appropriate, and even though Aulus talks to him to reduce his attitude, Epsilon maintains his stance.And unfortunately everything got worse when Ehsi (Shee) Kaan met Aether and in the future they both became inseparable girlfriends. Epsilon can't stand Ehsi because of her slack attitude towards her studies (which is what he thinks). But it will really be Ehsi who will show him much more than Epsilon thinks, and above all, to connect with her daughter properly.But behind all that facade, the most feared Science teacher hides a secret. Epsilon is the world DDR champion. He has the basement of his home fully adapted to have a couple of DRR machines to practice and also to vent on stressful days. But it is something that only Aether and Aulus know.(WIP)
