Audrey Yuna Matsuda-Benes: Audrey is a twenty one year old girl of Doman and Hingan birth. Raised in La Noscea after fleeing Doma with her mother and older brother as an infant, Audrey has lead a difficult life. Her birth mother died when Audrey was only five, leaving her to the cruel and abusive hands of the La Noscean family that had taken them in as a favor to her birth father - a Hingan general who believed young Audrey to be dead. After being trafficked into prostitution, she was eventually able to win her freedom - but the damage and the darkness from the underworld lingers. Follow her blog >here<.
Laelia lux Caelius: Laelia had all the makings of being the perfect Garlean woman. Beautiful, immensely intelligent, wealthy, and young, the whole world was at her feet. The only problem is that the young doctor had no true loyalty to the Garlean Empire, aligned with its Populares party instead. With a genius IQ, she became a neurosurgeon at the age of twenty one, and was later drafted to become a lux in the Garlean army. It was while stationed in a Castrum that Laelia was able to make her escape from Garlemald in the midst of the Castrum being destroyed. She found herself stranded in Thanalan, with everyone she knew believing her to be dead, and has been doing her best to reclaim a life for herself in a freer land. Follow her blog >here<.
Elowyn Nollett: Elowyn Nollett is a twenty one year old Sharlayan scholar… or that’s what it looks like on the surface, anyway. Brilliant but spacey, an absolute child of the stars, a healer, a green adventurer, Elowyn seeks knowledge wherever she can find it. A protective and overbearing upbringing has kept her innocent and naïve, a true dreamer of impossible dreams - and terribly inexperienced. With a strange connection to another world, it often seems as though Elowyn has one foot in the First and one in the Source. Ask her about her books or the sky or… anything, really. She’d love to talk your ear off. Follow her blog >here.<
The Lotus: A young woman of many names - Tsai Xiu, Kinoshita Xiu, Lian Hua, Sun Xiu - it’s hard to know just who or what she is. Xiu and her older brother, Hui, were orphaned when the Garleans burned down the inn that their parents ran in Doma. Left to the streets at a tender age, they were taken in by a yakuza sect. Where Hui was trained for hands-off work, the oyabun of the yakuza saw potential in Xiu for something else. She became a highly trained assassin with an unfortunately hindering moral compass. A weapon of a woman, she now finds herself stationed in the mysterious Jade Palace. Follow her blog >here.<
F’kyla Dhol: F’kyla grew up hard and she grew up fast. Raised in a mining town in central Thanalan, Kyla started off with a happy childhood. She had two loving parents, and though they didn’t have much, they always had enough. Everything seemed to turn upside down, though, when her childhood best friend went missing along with his younger brother. Soon after, Kyla’s father became too sick with black lung to work in the mines, and her mother’s fragile mental health makes it almost impossible to provide for the family. It fell onto F’kyla’s shoulders to take care of her parents and her baby sister, doing whatever she must in their secretive hillside town to put bread on the table. Follow her blog >here.<
