Main Characters
Aili AldoniKnown as the "Girl without Magic" growing up, Aili was excluded from magic lessons and normal socializing with friends. She learned herbalism and how to survive in the forest, and spent most of her time with a couple of Mages who taught her to thrive, despite her handicap.
Aili has brown hair and green eyes, is short and athletic, and spends much of her time in the forests with Leya. Her abilities are unusual, so it takes an intelligent and free thinking mage to help her discover them. |
LeyaAili's best friend and faithful companion, Leya's a cheeky pony who knows what she likes. She's been with Aili since both were young, and they spend hours wandering the wild places collecting herbs for Ilia, the Master Herbalist. When Aili sets off to make her own future, of course Leya goes with her.
