Yuki-onna

**Yuki-onna**, better known simply as 'the guide', is two seperate entities that help new deities learn about how to go about their godhood properly. Back when the world was still young and there were no other deities except for Astra and Era, these two entites used to be one, going by a single name: 'Yuki-onna'.

"*Stella! I didn't know you brought a visitor! [...] And such an interesting one, too! We've never had a real mortal in this realm before. I welcome you with open wings!*"

## Zero

### Nickname(s)

The Guide Stupid dork (Rascal) Tall bug dragon (Kagayaku) Zero sense (Stella) Strange man (Kagayaku)

## Appearances

### Mentioned in

*Sincerity*

**Zero** is an adult male hybrid and one of the residents of the Higher Dimension, alongside Rascal. He makes up half of the conscience of the Guide, and helps newborn Deities with their godhood as they grow. He observes Celestial and has a big heart for others, but a nasty habit of eavesdropping. He knows almost everything about everyone, being able to view any scenario at once. He has all of the abilities of the other Deities.

He is currently residing in the Higher Dimension, observing Celestial and only stepping in when things go awry.

## Appearance

Zero is a tall, lanky dragon, with muddy green scales that are thick like armour and slightly furry antenne, he is an oddity to most. With bright blue eyes that stand out like a sore thumb no matter where he is and small eyelashes around his eyes, if you glanced at him, you'd think he's a female. Zero has a thick, long neck, that Rascal is often calling fat. Running down his spine is a LeafWing frill that is also green in colour.

He has four sets of wings, shaped mostly like a SilkWing's, with membranes that bear the number '0', which he was ultimately named after. His legs are long and thick, as well as his tail, which is relatively chubby, with a small leaf at the tip, which most mortal LeafWings have. His ears are long and sleek, that are usually pointing downwards in a relaxed manner, though they may often twitch whenever things get too loud.

## Personality

Zero's personality is seen as confusing to many. He is friendly and bright, being pretty social and caring for those around him, even breaking him and Rascal's rules of not appearing to other deities to go comfort them when they are upset. Due to being so social, he dislikes being in the higher dimension, even though he has Rascal to keep him company, she isn't much of a talker, which can set Zero off.

He occasionally acts mysterious, trying to mystify others, but this is short lived as his funny personality will quickly begin to shine through his act again. He's a great dragon to be around, but he isn't too good at meeting people without making it awkward as he doesn't meet many in his lifetime. He is also nosey, watching the beings of Celestial go about their daily lives while wishing he could do the same.

When threatened, he will not fight back, despite his immense amount of magic. He can get frightened quite easily unlike Rascal, who doesn't feel fear at all.

## Biography

Zero is mentioned by Kagayaku to Makoto once she is free from Era's corruption.

## Trivia

* Initially, Zero was a demigod in the storyline, either a child of Astra and Era, and that Rascal was his adopted child, but this was changed and the demigod position was given to Incarnadine.

"*We wish to help you in your endeavours. [...] We possess the information you need to defeat Era and Goldie, but we didn't know how to deliver it to you without informing anyone else about our presence. Stella didn't hesitate to bring you up here once the opportunity arrived. [...] We have a* lot *to discuss.*"

## Appearances

### Mentioned in

*Sincerity*

**Rascal** is a young female hybrid and one of the residents of the Higher Dimension, alongside Zero. She makes up half of the conscience of the Guide, and helps newborn Deities with their godhood as they grow. She observes Celestial and is relatively mature for her age, preferring to do her own things instead of watch Celestial all day.

She is currently residing in the Higher Dimension, observing Celestial and only stepping in when things go awry.

## Appearance

Rascal is oddly small for her age, with a chubby build and a long neck, similar to that of a RainWing. Running down her back is a bubblegum pink SandWing frill that is scruffy and unkempt in appearance. Her eyes are a fiery orange and are never fully open, similarly to Goldie, and are half-lidded in a moody appearance. She has long eyelashes that droop slightly downwards. Her tail is long and slightly skinny in comparison to her chubby torso, and is similar to that of a SandWing's, lacking the tail barb.

Her wings are small and dark magenta in colour, bearing a similar pattern to Mepuru, dots near the bottom and jagged lines near the top. Her snout is reminiscent of a SandWing's, and she bears a RainWing frill behind her ears that droops downwards. She has the circular scales of a RainWing that runs down her neck to her tail, and she also has SandWing leg scales.

Rascal's legs are short, yet oddly thick, fit for running long distances, yet she doesn't do much running considering she spends most of her time attached to Zero via their magical tether.

## Personality

Rascal isn't necassarily someone you'd want to hang out with. She is rough, sassy and mature. She doesn't see the negative or positive outcomes of things, only looking for a more realistic output of a situation unlike Zero, who only tries to see the positives to lighten the mood. She isn't social at all and is prone to ignoring Zero's chatter while working. Rascal makes attempts to pick up useful information from Celestial residents, but other than that, she doesn't spy on them all that much, and instead spends most of her time sleeping in the higher dimension.

She is easily annoyed, especially by Zero's antics and absolutely despises being called Rascal, yet she has no other name than the one Zero calls her. She is the type of person who would befriend you for information, and when she begins working on something she is passionate about, there is no telling when she'll stop. She hates cutting time short and her time being wasted. She likes to use her free time to do things she enjoys rather than hang about with Zero and listen to his boring chatter all day.

Any secret she keeps is bound to be kept under lock and key, making it practically impossible to get her to spill information, however, if one were to nag her, she may just hand over some useful things in order to get them to stop.

## Biography

* Rascal's scales cannot change colour naturally like a normal RainWing, but considering her shapeshifting abilities, she can still change them.
