==Biography==
====Appearance====
Achlys is a tall, dark purple-gray anthropomorphic unicorn. She has darker markings along her muzzle, ears, back, shoulders, arms and legs, as well as lighter grayish-purple markings that outline the darker ones. Her tail is long and has a fluffy end, which gradients from black to purple. She has a long, slightly curved horn that gradients from her dark grayish markings into a soft purple, long black hair with purple highlights, and hot pink eyes, with long canine like teeth. 
She is always seen wearing a dark purple jean-like jacket, with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows and dark blue jeans that end with purple wrappings, and has a dark belt with two straps. 
====Appearance in the Dark====
Achlys' appearance in the dark isn't too different from her normal appearance, expect her lighter grayish-purple markings turn into a bright purple, along with her purple hair highlights, which turn pink, allowing her to glow in the dark. Her eyes also change into a black, blue, pink and white swirl, to confuse others. Achlys' horn also changes into a lighter tone. 
== Personality==
Achlys' personality is a bit complicated, but it's easy to summarize it as her just being a confused soul. She can be seen as scary due to her size, and can come off very mean and aggressive. But she can be surprisingly gentle and caring once you get to know her, even going out of her way to defend those she cares about, even if it puts her own life at risk. Despite helping in the plan to kidnap Adder, she never made any attempts to physically harming the child, even going out of her way in making the basement childproof so Adder wouldn't be able to hurt herself, and providing the child with food and water. Achlys is also known to hold a lot of rage and a lot of grief, often blaming herself for a lot of events that have happened and for how many people got hurt, regardless if because of her or not.
====Background====
Achlys grew up in a small highly religious village, far from Midnight. Her grandfather believed that she would be the one to bring the Moon Goddess back, so he kept her inside the majority of time, making her study books and scrolls and preforming various rituals and ceremonies. 
Achlys hated all of it as she didn't want to be the "chosen one" her village made her out to be. She wanted to do things like the other kids in her village, have fun. But, she would sadly never get a chance to be like the them because during a ceremony, raiders robbed the village of its riches, killing everyone on sight and the village to the ground. Achlys was one of few survivors from this ordeal, but thanks to waking up alone she believed that she was the only one who survived, this feeling later strengthened when she searched through the remains, finding no one. 
She later ventures out to find other villages, in hopes of finding shelter. Though, other villages around this time did not take too kindly to outsiders, therefore she would either be chased away or casted out by the villages. Whenever she got to stay in a village, that village would end up being raided. This lead her to be untrusting of people and believing nowhere was safe. 
This fills Achlys with rage, which she directs at the Moon Goddess, believing her to be the cause of everyone's problems. She sets off to go find the Moon Goddess, not to bring her back like her home village wanted, but instead to kill the god, thinking that it would solve everything going on. Through her travels she would eventually stumble upon Midnight, chosing to camp outside the village border.
==Major Events==
===Arrow's Party===
While Arrow was gathering up the members of Midnight to go to a party he planned, Achlys waited at her house for Opia to arrive with Adder, so the plan with Streamless could get set into motion.

Name 	Status 	Notes 	
Vincent 	positive 	Vincent is Achlys' uncle, who upon learning what Achlys had done, told the village. Achlys didn't fault him for this though, and took his words to heart. He is now helping her get on the right path. 	
Opia 	negative 	Achlys and Opia used to be good friends. Achlys would often defend Opia and would bring Opia gifts. Though this changed when Achlys started to feel left out of plans and saw that the plan with Streamless was falling apart. She left Opia and Arrow, souring their relationship. 	
Arrow 	negative 	Arrow and Achlys used to be friends. Achlys allowed Arrow to stay in her basement and brought him food and water. Achlys also helped Arrow escape from where he was being held captative and helped him through a melt down. Their relationship soured when Achlys left the group, not being able to go through with what they were doing, and further strained when Arrow tracked down Achlys' uncle, intending to kill him, but instead killing Achlys and taking her first life. 	
Adder 	neutral-negative	Achlys is one of the people who helped in the plan to kidnap Adder, but she never meant the kid any harm. She in fact went out of her way to make sure her basement was childproof, so Adder couldn't hurt herself and made sure the kid had access to food, water and entertainment. Achlys never faulted Adder for being afraid and when she could no longer go through with the plan, especially seeing how the child acted around Streamless, she tried to take Adder back to the village, only to be chased out of her own home by Opia and Arrow. Achlys doesn't know where Adder is now, but she hopes the kid is okay.
