Rei Lunalin

Keiko Lunalin (Older Sister)

Aki Lunalin (Younger Brother)

### **Appearance**

A young, brunette woman with bunny ears and tail, Rei Lunalin carries no weapons, and wears no armor, causing most to assume she is either a noncombatant, or a caster of some sort. This could not be further from the truth, as she has trained to be a strong melee combatant with a psychic blade she can summon at a moments notice. She has few things that show off her more affluent heritage, the main one being a necklace with a single pearl on it.

### **History**

Born into the Lunalin family, she had an easy life set out before her from birth. However, she was often found diligently reading about magic, or training out in the yard with a stick or sometimes a wooden sword. Confused and concerned, her parents asked her why she was training to fight. Her response was 'My ancestors told me to'. It was assumed she had some dream and had decided to follow it, but the training got to be complex and in-depth, things that such a young girl shouldn't have known would help the training. Again she was asked, and again she responded 'My ancestors told me to'. However, this time, the 11 year old girl added 'They keep nagging me if I don't'. It was at this point that the family started to worry more.

A few years after this response, and some constant monitoring, the family had sat down for dinner. They were calmly chatting when a servant came around to refill everyone's drinks. As they were poured, Rei suddenly summoned a blade of energy, the first time anyone had seen her Mind Blade, and swung it directly into the servant's chest, wounding him. After a brief commotion, and a servant being dispatched to the nearby healer's Rei was able to shout out that the drink they brought was poisoned. Nobody believed her at first. Masaru, the soon-to-be family head at the time, even saw doubt in her eyes as she desperately tried to defend herself. Only her older sister, Keiko, spoke up to have the drink checked when the healers came. Lo and behold, when it was checked with magic, there was found to be poison mixed into the drink. After a heartfelt apology, she was asked how she knew. Another odd situation, another question, and another strange response: 'Ancestor Dokimi told me it was poisoned'. However, this time, due to the name mentioned, they had something to go off of: the name.

Dokimi was one of the many prominent figures in the past of the Lunalin family. She in particular was known for being a master of alchemy and poisons, though not a user of such things. A crafter's name is almost never recorded in legends, so the Lunalin family would be the only ones to know of them. After some more questioning, it seems that Rei knew the names of many other Lesser Legends that came from within the family line. It was at this time that Rei revealed her secret: She could see, speak to, and hear the spirits of the many legendary figures of the Lunalin family, and they all seem to circle around her. At her request, this was kept from leaking, and only her close family knows about this secret of hers.

With her secret revealed, Rei's family started acting very cautiously around her, fearful of disappointing their many ancestors who seemed to be with Rei at her every step. Rei simply continued her training, learning technique after technique to further enhance her fighting capabilities. She became more open as well, due to her sister often visiting her during her training. The two grew close, Rei teaching Keiko techniques, Keiko talking about her experiences from academies and the like. Before, Rei had been quiet, not wanting to reveal her secret in case she was kicked out or shunned, but now that she was getting accepted, she was able to speak freely again! And a few years later, she finally set out from home to become an adventurer, and, hopefully, become one of the rare heroes sung about across the world...

### **Personality**

Excitable and outgoing, though she sometimes becomes quiet and secretive due to her not wanting to let out her secret to others. She loves adventure, and even the mention of somewhere unknown gets her sparkly-eyed and smiling. In a fight, she's always smiling at the start, heart racing with excitement. When she gets hurt, her resolve gets more and more hardened, ready for the next blow, sword aiming for the vitals. She's always happy to make a friend, since she had none as a child, other than the spirits around her, and they were more teachers than friends.

### **Family History**

The Lunalin family is filled with many unsung heroes, or, as they refer to them as, Lesser Legends. These consist of people with legendary talents that did nothing with them, or those whose achievements were great, but overlooked. A guard captain who held off an army at the gate for a minute going unnoticed due to the army still slamming against the walls, a blacksmith who created many a powerful sword who was never mentioned because they were never any used by legendary figures, and an unidentifiable gunslinger who wiped out camp after camp of bandits without leaving a trace of themselves would all be found recorded in the library of the Lunalin family. Always in the wrong place at the wrong time, or never pushing to have their names in the history books of scholars and writers.

The Lunalin family gained its noble status, and a good bit of fame, from one of the few members of it to have their names written somewhere other than their own shelves: A devil slayer by the name of 'Rosuko Lunalin' who lead a group to free the soul of a long-dead king, whose soul was sold to a Pit Fiend as part of a deal with a cultist. In the end, they were able to succeed and return the king's soul to its rightful afterlife, and was rewarded with a noble title and land, specifically a Manor in the Petal District of Absalom.
