Adara & Leona & Wurren

**Adara**, **Leona**, and **Wurren**, characters in the *Across the Void* book, are passengers on the Atlas. They are first seen in *Chapter 3*.

## Appearance

Adara has light skin and blue eyes, with teal eyebrows and red lipstick. In place of hair are white feathers atop her head, with red ones in the center of her forehead. On the side of her head are wings similar to that of a bird, made of blue, white, yellow, and red feathers. Her cheeks have light purple glowing specks, similar to freckles, and her neck is covered in blue feathers. She wears a pink and black parka with a white fur collar, as well as dark blue feathers on the sides of the arms. Attached to the right side of her chest is a single white feather.

Leona has violet hair, yellow eyes, and dark purple skin with thick lavender markings. She wears a blue suit with geometric shapes (mostly triangles) of various colors and a silver necklace.

Wurren is cat-like in appearance, with a slender body and long ears. He is covered with light pink scales, with dark pink stripes interspersed, as well as purple tendrils along his body. These are also at the end of his tail and on the side of his face. His eyes are golden brown, and his nose resembles that of a horse's.

## Personality

Adara, Leona, and Wurren are high-maintenance. Both women are shown to be affectionate with their pet, Wurren, and to care for his well-being. Wurren is a sweet animal, but as revealed by Adara and Leona, he can be quite sensitive and needs to have his demands met.
