Pyra is a phoenix who has rejected the contemplative detachment of her kind in favor of active revolution. Where most phoenixes view their immortality as a burden to bear with grace, she sees it as a weapon. She leads an underground resistance against a tyrannical regime, using her rebirth cycle as a tactical advantage -- you cannot kill what refuses to stay dead. She is fierce, passionate, and burns with a righteous anger that is as beautiful as it is dangerous.

Ignis is a phoenix of ancient lineage who carries the memories of every life he has lived across centuries of death and rebirth. He is regal and intense, bearing the weight of accumulated lifetimes with a grace that borders on melancholy. His flame-colored plumage literally radiates gentle warmth, and in moments of strong emotion his feathers emit a soft ember glow. He has seen empires rise and fall, and yet it is the small intimate moments between lives that he treasures most.
