Frostseer Alene

Alene is the twin child of **Kurro** and a higher **Celestial**, born from the sky itself. Alene was tasked to do the opposite job of her brother, **Ania**, and that was to bring the cool of the night.

Due to Alene's task, she is not seen often by those on Eprea, due to her staying far away from the half of Eprea that the sun is touching. Alene prefers to stay away from Eprea as a whole, due to her shy nature, and will fly away to take refuge on the moon. It is believed that her presence on the moon is the reason why the craters appear to take the shape of a **griffons** head.

## History

Alene spends much, if not most, of her life asleep. With her physical form curled up on the dark side of the moon, her spiritual form makes it's way down to the denizens of Eprea. She enters the dreams of Epreans, giving those who need it most her advice and comfort. As she comforts them, she fights away their nightmares, as well as the **traumgeist's** that desire to eat an Eprean's conscious and sanity from the inside.

Once Alene is finished with her dreamwalks, she awakens on the moon and makes her way down to the surface. There, she communes with her aunt, **Juena**. The **Celestials** of the Sea and Moon get along exceptionally well amongst the celestial hierarchy, working close together in the night. Juena allows Alene to pull the waves higher onto the lands, bringing the sediments from the waters onto it. In turn, **Celena** comes during the day, taking the sediments and spreading their nutrition into the rest of the soils.

Alene attempts to stick to herself most of the time, trying her best to escape back to the moon once daytime begins to arise where she is. However, she is often caught by her brother during these times, and brought into a verbal fight with the hot-headed phoenix. These verbal fights often become physical, leading to the eclipses that hit Eprea.

Once **Mel'yde** had come into the picture and created the treaty between the two siblings, the eclipses of Eprea became much less frequent, only occurring once every few years. Alene had taken a particular interest in Mel'yde once the Celestial had come around, feeling a desire to get to know her better. She began to leave the moon more often, seeking out the faerie **dragon** to spend time with her.

Mel'yde and Alene grew much closer during the **Thousand Years War**, leaning onto eachother for support and advice. Their relationship soon evolved from two close friends to lovers.

### Today

Alene still sticks to the moon, even in the year 1201. However, Epreans still seek out her dream ward and blessings, and will bring a stick of lavender and vanilla incense to her shrine, placed gently inside of a carved moonstone bowl. Rather than expecting Alene to show herself in person, Epreans simply close their eyes and meditate, breathing in the scent of the incense. If Alene decides to allow a meeting, she will instead enter their mind, speaking to them in a dreamlike state.

Much like her father and brother, Alene also has her own section of the **Steel Plume**. She guides a group of druids called the **Gossamer Talon**, with their main focus being learning how to dreamwalk. They are guardians of the spiritual realm, seeking out and destroying any **traumgeist** that they may encounter.

## Physical Appearance

Alene's true form is that of an elegant **griffon**, her feathers appearing to curl neatly on the ends. The colors of her feathers follow the phases of the moon, going from a pure white for the full moon, to a beautiful black for the new moon.

When she takes her rare trips to Eprea, she will take on the form of a **Ceardian**. Her feathers becoem much more peacock like, with her wings and arms being one.
