Welcome to Gaia! ::

Liella is a free spirit. When she was younger she was full of naivity and carelessness, dancing through the trees of the forest like a sprite from a fairytale. She believed that danger did not exist in her happy world, and that the trees were full of friendly magic. She was happy and bubbly, apt to be social yet not always clear with her words. However, after a night of eating fermented berries, she met with a stallion named Mareo and conceived three children. After that night, she only saw Mareo once again to deliver his son to him. After that, she sobered up and discovered the hardships of raising children on her own, especially one child who had the mind of a foal permanently.

Liella is more mature now, and often blames herself for what happened to her daughter Cherish. A kalona came and stole Cherish away, as well as scared off her other daughter Ianthe. Liella searched for these two for quite some time but was unable to find them, and thus returned to her friend Kanani to ask for help.

Liella still sings her beautiful songs, and can rarely bring herself to dance. HOwever, she is filled with longing to redeem herself in the eyes of her children, and perhaps become a better mother one day.

Erasto is not exactly the viscous Kalona-halfbreed that he looks like. Whereas he enjoys his fun and games (and meat!), he is more of an intellectual who enjoys dwelling in ancient books written on the subjects of Black Magic and Witchcraft. He loves to be challenged, even if it means experiencing several mistakes and near failure. His idea of fun is experimenting with random potions and spells, all of which are for unusual and disturbing things. He constantly puts on a facade of a "Witch Doctor", and lures wary victims to his little hut with the help of his bright lantern. Despite his unruly and alarming appearance, the oblivious patients are trustful of Erasto because he claims he can cure any illness with a potion or spell. Of course, said patient is lucky enough if they leave his dwelling with all of their limbs intact.

Erasto does eat meat, but most of his victims are used for spell components--AKA, eyeballs, tongues, hooves, intestines, and anything else his cryptic books call for. He is quite the charmer, and is attracted to both males and females. However, his wants never increase to anything more than a curious lust, and he's not one for needing physical pleasure. He rather admires a body for its potential taste or ability to provide ample spell components. However, if a victim turns out to be smarter than previously thought, Erasto might simply entertain them, or bargain their release with a tidbit of information or a rare piece of jewelry or such.

Erasto can often seem absent-minded, or perhaps more focused on a single thing than all aspects of a meeting or conversation. His moods are quick to change, and he often has random outbursts of laughter or strange clicking sounds of the tongue. He finds amusement in the strangest things and is incapable of feeling fear--it's not that he's brave or heroic, he just doesn't understand danger when it occurs. He could be hanging over a cliff, about to fall to his death, and his only interest would be the variety of plant life growing on the rock face. He simply focuses only on what interests him, and all other things are disregarded as unneeded and useless.

Erasto sleeps well into the afternoon and is not a morning person. He works well into the late night, wandering around the area beyond his hut, trying to attract potential victims.

He wears his mask in almost all of his transitions, and only takes it off to sleep and during important spells. He will also reveal his face to certain horses, either because he feels that they're worthy or because he feels like creeping them out with his eyes. He found the skull buried in the swamp muds, and thinks that it's from some ancient magical beast that will protect him from others' curses.
