Spirited and rebellious, Tama always has his own ideas on how things should be done. Especially if they’re the opposite of what his father wants. Tama enjoys being around people, and doesn’t let social norms define who his friends should be. His hands-on attitude to life has made him a terrible student, but a jack-of-all trades. All trades except, of course, the ones his father wants him to have. |

Mizha is typically an excitable space case, but she also has a serious side that she keeps hidden from most of the world. She often assumes the role of mediator and peacekeeper, keeping a gentle smile on her face until the crisis is past. Afterward she bottles up her feelings and flees to the shelter of fantasy. Mizha is often lost in her own world, absorbed in memories or recreating her own history in her mind. Much like her late mother, Mizha’s line between fantasy and reality is becoming less and less clear. |

Zhiro is a serious young Timu that strives to epitomize Lightbringer values. He is loyal, obedient, and ambitious, driven to be a worthy son to his adoptive father, Koruval. This created a fierce rivalry between Zhiro and Tama when they were younger, and although they now consider themselves blood-brothers, their differing views on what it means to be a son still causes tension between them. |

As the High Sage and leader of the Itsuri Empire, Koruval often must put the needs of his nation above his own personal desires. He is a strict and cold man, reserved and somber, but he also strives to be fair. He believes necessity outweighs idealism, and works tirelessly to balance the divergent demands of the Council of Elders, the Sun Sages, the Merchants Guild, and the Pwama dignitaries. As a father, Koruval was often distant and harsh, but he wants the best for his children, even if he doesn’t really understand them. |
