Characters

Islet

Islet is a half-sylph, a wind spirit. She's fairly up-beat, and doesn't particulary plan ahead.
She'd generally be found somewhere fifty miles from where she was the previous day.
Her hair is naturally very pale, basically a whitey-silver. Her eyes are purple. Both inherited from her mother.
Physically she's small, lithe. She's roughly eighteen.

Though she's not sure why, fairy-wrens have a large attachment to her.
When she's alone they'll often take to nesting in her hair, or snuggled up between her breasts.

Refs of fairy-wrens: [x] [x]

-----------

Hawk

Hawk is basically an incubus. He's dark, lusty [in the sexual sense of the world, but he's not a sleaze];
he's a seducer, he has charm. Like fire, though, he's pretty to look at and warm to get close to,
but if you stick your hand too close you'll get burned. He's small, compared to a human male standard, but taller than Islet.
Dark hair, dark eyes, the demon-kind of deal.

However, he is a cutie. He's got a soft spot for Islet, and another for Niobe.

Niobe's basically his pixie.
She's got an attachment for him and never quite got over it.
Her hair is red, long, and she tends to dart around in nothing much.
