OUR HEROINE

human/dragon

she/her

"she thought she already sort of knew what slowly dying was like"

a girl stuck in the body of a monster. or a monster stuck in the body of a girl. or both.

a heroine trying to make up for the sins of a past she's worked to disconnect herself from, but it's hard disconnecting yourself from something that keeps you alive, no matter how vile.

a soul-taking half-dragon with more capacity to love than a monster should have. she seeks paradise so that she'll stop feeling the need to tear herself in two every time she sees a human.

she seeks paradise so that she won't hurt anyone, but she especially seeks paradise so that she won't hurt herself (anymore)

MOLLY

human

she/her

"she did not look like she was faking her smile, but maybe humans were good at hiding emotion"

little girl, big heart, medium-sized emotional processing.

molly seeks paradise because she's got no other place to go, becuase she's got no other safe place to go

BRAD

human

he/him

"eric, my man,' brad said, 'please get off of the newest edition to our ragtag band of pilgrims."

ERIC

human

he/him

"i do know the stars"

the boisterous boy witht the too loud pistol-pocket and the too fast heartbeat

CHIP

human

red and red and red queen of the finger you slide across your neck when you want to take someone out

she has fire in her bones and in her throat and on her tongue but she is nothing like our heroine, she'll insist

chip seeks paradise because they have taken everything from her. but maybe she doesn't seek paradise anymore

DARWIN

human

they/them

"the fact that they needed to stop trying to analyze their family and start supporting them"

a psychology student in the making in a time where psychology is almost a myth to humans

they like to think they know the way the world works when all they know is how to tell if someone is having a panic attack

darwin seeks paradise because they seek a family. and a university

ROBIN

human

he/him

"robin. he. i hate life."

robin hates life but is desparate to keep living it, even when his brain screams to stop

an emo kid at heart, hood up and shadows out, no touching no talking no teamwork. sometimes no robin

robin seeks paradise because he is afraid. these people help make him less afraid. this place helps make him less afraid
