Demi Eshu

* Default
* Wyvern form

**Demi Eshu** is a female shapeshifting wyvern who debuted in her and her twin sister's first short story, ୧୨ 1. Double Trouble. She serves as a mercenary and minor antagonist in Lore.

## Appearance

Haurua and Demi are identical, even going so far as to get the same piercings, clothes and jewelry to maintain this double vision façade. Both have dark skin, long pointed elf-like ears adorned with countless shining gold earrings. They have slanted, fierce eyes that are bright orange and red that emit a harsh glow in the dark. However following their attack on Taraxacum, Demi sustained an injury to her eye which scarred, ruining their mirror image illusion. They have long, red-orange hair that curls down to around their waist and dark brown/black horns spiraling out of their heads. They have long, almost claw-like nails and wear several rings on almost all of their fingers. Their outfit typically consists of a medium length black and red dress with gold accents.

Their wyvern form is different than others as they have four wings rather than two, and is considerably larger than other wyverns. They aren't as large as fully grown dragons, though, being only a little smaller. Their scales are black with small undertones of orange and yellow, though when using their fire, their underbellies glow.

## Personality

Demi is incredibly bossy and self-assured. She refuses to take no for an answer when she has her mind set on something, leading to many playful arguments and debates with Haurua. Despite her hardheadedness, she is endlessly loyal to her sister. To anyone that isn't Haurua, though, she has been shown to be violent and takes satisfaction in seeing them hurt. She harbors very little regard for their feelings, believing that the only thing that matters is that she and her sister are living the way they want to live. She is fiercely protective over Haurua and would not hesitate to slaughter any threat to her.

She finds joy in amassing wealth, as her greed has consumed her for years. Alongside that, adventuring is her favorite activity. She's an adrenaline junkie and will occasionally follow through with frivolous things just for the thrill it produces. Luckily, Haurua balances her out nicely and keeps her focused on their mission to endless wealth.

## Biography

Haurua and Demi were born in Skiola to Vayu and Samira Eshu. They were raised well and were not short of money in any sense. From a young age the twins discovered that they had a passion for adrenaline seeking and causing mischief. Unfortunately for their parents these passions came hand in hand, and they spent much of their time running around and causing havoc and chaos wherever they went. Throughout their childhood, they didn't have very many friends, though this didn't seem to bother them as it only reinforced their bond with one another being the only one to truly understand them. All species and subspecies of dragons share an affinity for shiny and precious things, though the twins were never particularly drawn to them until they began pulling pranks on their classmates and parents that began getting the two into excessive trouble. Oftentimes they would be able to evade punishment entirely by using their extra pair of wings to outfly their parents and teachers or managing to sweet talk their way out of it. Gradually they began suffering the consequences of their actions, and by the time that they were finishing their formal education, their criminal behavior had supposedly stopped.

They didn't make it the entire way through, however. And around halfway through secondary school their troublesome and mischievous behavior returned. They began stealing from their teachers, their classmates, their parents, and even strangers on the street. They were expelled as a result and marked down by Skiola's government as wanted criminals. If anything, this encouraged them and they continued stealing, finding the adrenaline rush and constant paranoia of living on the run exciting. They managed to escape and ran around Semayi for a year or so before escaping to Earth, where it was nearly impossible for any of Semayi's nations' governments to track them. Earth was full of people who were lesser than them, or at least less capable. Using their species to their advantage, they stole and pillaged wherever they pleased and amassed nearly an entire mountain's worth of wealth. Throughout their entire time together, the one thing that has remained the same is each other. They have sworn to always protect and be there for one another regardless of what the situation is. They may do plenty of things for gold or riches, but at the end of the day, they will always place the other first.

## Abilities

* **Flight** - Both in her wyvern form and default form, Demi is able to fly using at least one part of large red and black dragon wings. She is exceptionally agile in the air and able to maneuver herself perfectly to avoid tree branches, buildings and even sudden obstacles such as animals, birds, other airborne travelers or even her sister.
* **Firebreath** - This is an ability that most fire dragons possess, which is the ability to breathe fire. Both in her default and dragon form, Demi is able to exhale and produce fire, regardless of her surroundings

## Trivia

* Both Demi and Haurua's names mean "half", when put together, they are two halves of a whole. Their last name means "trickery" or "chaos"
