### Inspiration(s)

Austin Dy and Amree Aguinaldo, Illias and Indirah Alnazar

Since they only appear at the ending of the story, **The Narrators**- **Elias** and **Airah Salazar**- are minor characters. They're both members of the book club in a high school- which was then later revealed to be the new Belvoire University- reading to children in a daycare center about The Arcana. It's also canon that they're siblings, sharing the same ancestors way back in the 16th century. Elias and Airah are also the modern counterparts of Illias and Indirah Alnazar.

The Narrators are inspired by The Arcana's actual writers, **Austin Dy** and **Amree Aguinaldo**.

## ROLE IN THE STORY

In the epilogue, XXI: The World, the story changes its usual first-person narration to third-person, telling the actual story of The Arcana in the perspective of the Salazar siblings, Elias and Airah. Both are finishing up reading the story to the children in a daycare center they volunteered in as a part of their community service in Belvoire University.

## PHYSIC**Λ**L **Λ**PPE**Λ**R**Λ**NCE

Elias has wavy dark brown hair that he parts to the right side of his head with his bangs almost covering his right eye. His eyes are colored light blue, and he stands for about 5'6". His outfit consists of a faded dark red leather jacket with its sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He wears this over a gray hoodie sweatshirt- his garnet necklace dangling around his neck. Elias seems to be wearing some type of black belt and darker gray-colored pants.

Airah's short golden-bronze hair is parted to the right, and she adds her amethyst hairclip to where she parts it. She ties two top sections of her hair. Her eyes are russet brown, and her height is 5'3". She wears a dark gray long-sleeved turtleneck crop top matched with a purple and black Harajuku-styled punk skirt. She appears to wear a translucent purple undershirt and black stockings, with an amethyst necklace matching her hairclip.

## TRIVI**Λ**S

* Elias and Airah are the reason why The Arcana is the first book of both HM and **Chrysalis** to have an unsubtle fourth-wall break; the authors are the ones who are actually telling the readers the story *in* a story, since the Narrators are stand-ins for **Austin Dy** and **Amree Aguinaldo**.
	+ They're also the modernized counterparts of Illias and Indirah Alnazar. Like the Alnazars, their age difference is three years- though the brother is older than the sister.
		- In a draft of the story, Illias and Indirah are originally twins- it was never mentioned why the writers changed it.
* Elias and Airah are last-minute additions; they weren't supposed to make it to the final cut of the story until after the last chapter is being edited by Amree.
* Since it's hinted that The Arcana is a real story that happened in its universe, some new characters are mentioned in the epilogue that could be the descendants of the main characters: Dillon's ancestors could be Diether and Kellan, as "Dillon" sounds like their names put together. Jade could be Sapphire's primarily because of the naming theme being gemstones and color shades.
	+ It's unknown, however, who Sapphire ended up with. Many speculate it's Illias, although many have also said that Illias might've ended up with Dorothy Lozano, instead.
		- It's also been mentioned more than once that even though they're friends, Sapphire and Illias don't really go along as they have a lot of differences.
* Elias and Airah seems to be the only siblings in their friend group. They were also thought to be cousins (and twins) by the readers.
