Alaria and Iliria
Twin souls that exist together in one body, these two have an odd history, though for a long time there was only one of them awake. 1005 years ago, on the day of the eclipse that Ivalina used to seal away Deamond and Helia, a child was born in Berge to two Equus. This child was not only a rare unicorn, but actually possessed two souls in one body, perhaps as a side effect of all the divine magic being used at that moment. One of the souls, though, was sealed away, just as the two gods were, within her own body, leaving the other to lead a normal life, unaware of her sleeping sister.
For 1000 years, Alaria lived her life in peace amongst her people, and later as a traveler, seeing the sights within what was left of Zion. On the day of the second eclipse, though, when the gods were freed and Zion complete once more, the second soul sleeping within Alaria, her sister Iliria was also freed, finally awake and self-aware.
The two were unable to be awake at the same time though. Alaria was conscious during the day, and Iliria was awake only at night. At first, neither was conscious of the other, alarmed that each seemed to lose consciousness and their memories during one part of the day. Alaria was unable to stay awake past sunset, and Iliria fell asleep each dawn. Further, when either sister took their turn as the dominant soul in the body, their coloration would change to reflect it, Alaria being fair with dark hair, and Iliria being dark with fair hair.
Alarmed and confused, Alaria turned to her long time friend, Alexandros Lysistrate for help. Through study and speaking with each, he was able to help them understand what had come to pass. Today, they are still unable to communicate with one another, except through notes, but get along as best they can, both having agreed to remain neutral in the war and help as they can.

~~~

Name: Alaria
Age: 1005
Gender: Female
Height: 7'2”
Job: None (wanderer)
Species: Equus
Faction: None (neutral)
Home Territory: Berge

Personality: While haughty and proud, Alaria is very dedicated to justice as a neutral party. She follows no faction, and will generally lend assistance to anyone who might need it so long as they don't threaten her, and she cannot immediately perceive that they have done something that she objects to very recently. She turns her nose up at all of the war and chaos that has broken out in the world thanks to the gods, but dislikes the Order and it's ideals. She believe that the gods are necessary to the functioning of the world, and believe that Noiz and the Titans are little better than the gods with their destructive tendencies; worse, even, because at least the gods have stepped back from the war, where as the titans continue to ravage the land with their overpowered monstrosities.
She will not join in a battle except to defend herself if attacked, or is defending a fellow neutral party. She does, however, stop after the battle and help the injured of all factions.

Abilities/powers:
Healing – Alaria is an extremely power healer, much like the unicorns of legend. Almost any wound she lays a hand on will heal, though major ones take a great deal of strength from her. When working on the battlefield, to help as many people as possible, she will do partial healings, enough to keep the person alive until the field medics can get to them. She is also able to cure diseases.
Purification – Her horn, when it touches impure or tainted water, is able to purify it. If it's a large body of water with a lot of poison, it may be beyond her, or she may be able to only partially purify it before overtiring herself
Fighting – Alaria's weapon of choice is the long sword, and she has trained with it since she was a teenager.
Transformation – Alaria is able to take on her secondary form, that of an actual unicorn, at will. Shifting between the two takes energy though, so she generally sticks to one or the other for long periods of time, depending on her needs.

~~~

Name: Iliria
Age: 5
Gender: Female
Height: 7'2”
Job: None (wanderer)
Species: Equus
Faction: None (neutral)
Home Territory: Berge

Personality: Iliria is a sweet, kind person who loves to meet new and interesting people, and will go out of her way to help any of her new friends. Unfortunately this often leads to her kindness being taken advantage of. Though she is mature and quite intelligent, Iliria is actually only five years old, which tends to translate to her being extremely naïve.

Abilities/Powers:
Necromancy – While Alaria has the ability to give life, Iliria's sphere of power lies in death. Using various rituals, often involving blood and mirrors, she is able to conjure the spirits of the dead and bind them to her will. She can have them answer questions for her, or act as messengers. She can also animate the bodies of the dead, though she cannot reconnect their souls, they are simply her puppets. She detests using this ability, though, and will only use it in dire need.
Death Sense - Iliria also has a sixth sense that allows her to sense when death is near. This can apply to someone having recently died in a place, or is about to die. This also includes being able to sense when lost souls are around, and is able to see them even when others cannot. Souls are often drawn to her, and more often then not she does not have to bind them in order to get answers from them if they are already in the corporeal world. They see her as a beacon of hope, someone that can free them of the bonds of the world of the living and allow them to pass peacefully into the after life, which she does whenever she can.
Fighting – Iliria's weapon of choice is the Bow. She's only been using it for five years, though, so while she is good, she's not a master.
Transformation – Iliria shares Alaria's ability to take on her secondary form, that of an actual unicorn, at will. Shifting between the two takes energy though, so she generally sticks to one or the other for long periods of time, depending on her needs.
