A decade of endless war has transformed Kris into a silent, battle-worn warrior feared as much by allies as by enemies. Clad in scarred black armor and a tattered cloak made from Susie's pelt, Kris carries a constant reminder of the day they lost their closest friend. Whether the pelt was taken to honor Susie's memory, fulfill her final wish, or for another reason entirely, its existence has driven a wedge between Kris and the rest of the group. Berdly and Noelle cannot look past it, seeing the cloak as a horrifying symbol of what Kris has become. Despite their hatred, Kris never removes it, continuing to fight without explanation or apology. Long crimson-tinted hair, glowing red eyes, and an emotionless expression complete the image of a warrior who sacrificed nearly everything to survive, even if it meant being hated by those they once called friends.

At 28 years old, Noelle has become less of a person and more of a living weapon. Years of relentless conflict and following a path similar to the Weird Route have stripped away much of her innocence, replacing it with ruthless efficiency. Her once-gentle heart now lies buried beneath unwavering discipline, allowing her to see enemies as little more than obstacles to eliminate. Clad in elegant yet battle-worn armor, she commands overwhelming ice magic capable of forming colossal frozen blades that can cleave through armies, making her one of the most terrifying mages alive despite the tragedy hidden behind her quiet expression.

Though the years have left Berdly covered in scars and battered armor, they have failed to extinguish his heart. His blue feathers are roughened by countless battles, and a deep scar runs across one eye, but his curiosity and determination remain intact. Unlike many who have become hardened by war, Berdly still believes people are worth saving and is often the first to protect those caught in the conflict. While his tactical brilliance and combat experience have grown tremendously, he continues to fight with hope rather than hatred, serving as the emotional backbone of the group and reminding everyone what they're still fighting to protect.
