So Zoe is the main character of most of my stories. I've had to shift a lot of her backstory around, but this is what I have so far. I decided to do her and Ash together, because they are Celestial Partners. Basically Celestial Partners are two elves that have their mental energy spin together. They have an unbreakable bond and their life forces are basically spun together.

Name: Zoe Nightshade

City: Starlingwood

Brief Physical Description: An elf with long dark wavy hair, eyes that shift color depending on her mood, a scatter of light freckles across her skin that becomes pale in the winter and tan in the summer. Excels at the bow and arrow.

Brief description of Personality: Cares greatly about her friends, has a determined spirit, Has an authoritative manner, and keeps a cold and indifferent face to those she does not know very well.

Element: Starlight

Backstory:

Zoe was born to Caius Nightshade and Loria Nightshade. Her parents were the King and Queen of the Elven City of Starlingwood. At birth a weight of expectation was already laid on her shoulders, as her father was the hero who defeated "The Beast" or otherwise called the Shadowrunner and her mother was the first elf to cross Astra to the edge of world. Her mother was the first person to ever cross the bridge into Solarion and later into Nebulonova. At a young age Zoe found a fascination is Silver Moon Wolves, and at the age of 80 she befriended 2 herself. She met Ash when she was 85, and they quickly realized they shared a bond farther than friendship, they were Celestial Partners. Zoe found a love for training and she trained with her friends everyday. When Salazar struck her city, Zoe was taken away to safety by her grandmother, who built an illusionary world for them. But one can only avoid fate for so long. And so 80 years later, Zoe is back on Astra, ready to face the challenges that await. The only problem is that she doesn't remember anything, the only thing she has are her two Silver Moon Wolves and an amulet in the shape of a wolf. She remembers one thing, just one. A girl that looked vaguely like her, saying, "Find me Zoeina Elen Nightshade, find me."

Name: Ash Stormbringer

Age: 315

City: Starlingwood

Brief Physical Description: An male elf with golden light brown hair, amber colored eyes that flicker in the darkness, lightly tanned skin.

Brief description of personality: Takes most things seriously, gets everything else done before having fun, likes to talk about interesting topics, good leadership skills.

Family: Dorius Stormbringer (Father, Alive), Kysha Stormbringer (Mother, Deceased), Iria (Sister, Deceased)

Element: Fire

Backstory:

From Birth Ash was always expected to do his best. His father was a strict elf, who didn't allow any mistakes to get in the way. Ash never retaliated and always did as he was told. When his father found out that he harnessed the Element of Fire, he was furious. He didn't think Fire was a useful Elemental Power. Ash's mother was quite different. She was kind and never raised her voice. She always made sure Ash was never overworked. Devastation followed when his sister Iria fell ill and soon after Ash's mother became ill as well. Iria passed a few months later and their mother also passed a few months after that. To escape a father who worked him tirelessly, Ash befriended Zoe and moved into the palace with her. Ash's life was always complicated in so many ways. He struggled to to shoulder the weight of the expectation of his father, and as a result her struggled to sometimes let others do the hard work instead of him.

I just want to say that at first Ash was a character I didn't turn much attention to, but after a while he became very important to me. Because I don't just regard my characters as things in the pages of my worldbuilding, but they are the friends that I built for myself in times of loneliness. And so they are very precious to me. Ash is a character that in my worldbuilding many times I have expressed him as a "perfect" character who always strives to make the right choice and shoulders the burdens of all his friends, always doing the hard tasks. I want to clear up any misunderstanding, just in case. He never tries to show off his skill, in my opinion he is a character that strives to be the best he can because he is actually a very insecure character. I grew to like him because he hid a past of burden, as his father always criticized him instead of being proud of a son who always tried his best. That's the reason he grew to be a character who struggled to let others help him at times.
