Thirteen Lights

Hatintap is one of five people who came to Misr from another reality to explore temporal paradoxes. Thanks to Jodah, he is known as the god of knowledge, patronizing scholars, cartographers, as well as sorcerers and enchanters. Sharing knowledge, reading books, and accumulating experience in any field—Hatintap does not leave any of this unnoticed. His Fires are the Scroll of Truth and the Feather of Hatintap. Appearance:* *As a God, he is depicted as a man with the head of a white ibis, a black collar and a brown suit, not devoid of an abundance of gold elements, and two gold bracelets on his arms. In his true form, Spencer is a young man with dark skin, brown hair, and glasses covering his brown eyes. He wears fairly simple clothes: a brown jacket, a light blue tie, a shirt, a vanilla-colored sweater, dark pants, and shoes. *

• Personality:* *Spencer spends all his time studying, so he pays little attention to the world he's long studied and the actions of the Gods. Unlike them, who have long forgotten the primary reason for their arrival in this world, he hasn't become filled with pride and arrogance and hasn't assumed the role of "God." Because of this, he doesn't act against Jodah's plans to correct the time paradox, accepting them as a given. He's also a meticulous purist: when Oketra knelt, he reminded her of the number of germs and bacteria on the ground and advised her to stand to avoid infection and contamination.

Seliyaset is one of five beings who came to Misr from another universe to investigate temporal paradoxes. Thanks to Jodah, she is known as the goddess of fertility. Her Fires are Seliyaset's Horn and Seliyaset's Sun. Appearance:* *Seliaset is a beautiful girl with dark skin, long, flowing hair, and horns that are partly golden. According to legend, between these horns is a star that illuminates this world. She is presumably dressed in a short-sleeved, golden dress (like the rest of her clothing), as well as a golden belt and tiara. *

• Personality:* *A kind and caring goddess who heeded Knefmtiti's words about the need to save Misr. She is not afraid to reveal herself to people and planeswalkers and, in her own words, is always very happy to see travelers across the worlds. Like the other Gods, she helps Lololoshka and his team collect the Lights.

Rhonas is one of five beings who came to Misr from another universe to investigate temporal paradoxes. Thanks to Jodah, he is known as the god of war. His Flames are the Fang of Rhonas and the Shield of Rhonas. Appearance:* *In the mythology of Misra In mythology, Ronas is usually depicted as a man with the head of a lion. His skin is dark brown, and his head is covered with a blood-red lion's mane. He wears red and gold armor with an open belly and a red schenti with a gold buckle. Ronas the Human In human form, Ronas appears as a child with dark skin, brown eyes, and red hair. He wears an ash-black T-shirt with a lion's head on it, red baggy pants, and black boots. *

• Personality:* *-

Montu is one of five beings who came to Misr from another universe to investigate temporal paradoxes. Thanks to Jodah, he is known as the god of labor. His Fires are the Hammer of Montu and the Gloves of Montu. Appearance:* *A green-eyed man with dark hair and a beard. He wears gold jewelry with green accents and pants of the same color. *

• Personality:* *He doesn't like it when someone wastes time; presumably, he doesn't like liars, judging by the fact that he sent punishment to Lololoshka for this.

Knefmititi is one of five beings who came to Misr from another universe to investigate temporal paradoxes. Thanks to Jodah, she is known as the goddess of death and patron of the abdam, hunters, and adventurers. Her Fires are the Moonbow and the Black Rose. Appearance:* *Knefmtiti is a beautiful girl with dark skin and short dark hair. She wears black makeup around her eyes, and a golden tiara adorns her head. She wears a mostly white dress with black and gold accents, with a red gem on the collar. In her human form, she is of average height, but in her divine form, she is even taller than Shangreen. *

• Personality:* *Knefmtiti is a domineering woman, and despite her playfulness, she is extremely cruel and doesn't particularly care about the fate of her world or the multiverse. She saves her world only to protect herself, as Jodah said, "When they think they're saving their own asses, they're actually helping you." Despite her divinity, she shows little interest in humans and rarely interferes in their affairs. The only time she approached a man named Seth, her appearance was brief; she treated him with indifference, saying only, "What are you whining about? You decide, I'm not your mother," and then vanished, leaving the man confused, causing him to go bald, and dispelling the myth of the gods' favor. She despises blasphemers, once even coming to Oketra's house when she said that she felt better knowing that the gods were ordinary people from another world, and demonstrates her power by expressing disapproval through actions directed against Lololoshka, such as the storm she caused and the flock of crows she caused while sailing.

Leila is one of the eight golden masks in To'Ifetun and also the high priestess of Rhonas. Appearance:* *Layla is a short, fair-skinned girl with green eyes, red eye makeup, freckles, and red hair braided into two pigtails. She wears a white, short-sleeved tunic with a red trim at the neck and a red headband on her forehead. Her legs are covered with two pieces of cloth, a long red one on her right leg and a short brown one on the other. She is not lacking in luxury items: bracelets on her wrists and a gold belt with a matching trim around her waist. *

• Personality:* *Layla is one of those who believes in To'Ifetun's ideals: she encourages Rhonas in front of his followers, though she believes the gods, likely including Rhonas, have abandoned humanity. Judging by the way she criticizes every attempt by Dana to violate the protocols, she greatly reveres them and follows them, which is quite unusual for a worshipper of the god of war. Layla has strong oratorical skills, which she demonstrated during her prayer to Rhonas and her call for the acolytes to turn their power against Montu's followers.

Hanuf is Oketra's former maid. She lived in her mistress's house with Halima until the latter's death. She is Abdi's lover, but since Abdi is forbidden from having relations, Lady Oketra decided to let him and Hanuf go. Appearance:* *A young, middle-aged woman with dark skin, dull brown eyes, and short, light-black hair. She wears a white dress with gilded accents at the waist and shoulders. She wears gold bracelets on her wrists and a matching gold headband. *

• Personality:* *Hanuf is a timid girl with a gentle and kind nature. She is sympathetic and always ready to help others. She is happy to serve Oketra, so she is completely obedient to her mistress and shows her great love and admiration.

Dana is one of the eight "heads" in To'Ifetun. Formerly Abdi's mistress, she was Buris's lover. Appearance:* *Dana is a dark-skinned, middle-aged woman with malachite eyes, dark, thick eyelashes, and black hair, which is tied into ponytails at the sides and back with pieces of green fabric. She wears a white and green suit with gold accents, wide white pants, green shoes, a belt with a silver buckle, and leather gloves. On her belt are two knives reminiscent of the khanjar knives common in the Middle East. *

• Personality:* *Dana is a cynical and cold-blooded individual. She enjoys mocking others, tearing apart every argument with her sharp tongue and cool wit. An example is her interaction with Oketra, who thought herself one of the smartest and kindest individuals in Misra, but Dana's harsh words even made this powerful and confident woman wary. She offered "advice" to Oketra, chiding her for her inability to admit the truth and her mistakes, which, in her opinion, hinders Oketra's success. But Dana herself is no slouch; she constantly runs from her problems, unable to accept the truth or admit her mistakes. Fearing re-experiencing pain, she always attacks first and trusts no one, relying only on her own strength. Dana wants to appear threatening and instill fear in everyone, so she tries to hide her weaknesses from everyone and feels disgusted when someone tries to console her by mocking such a person.

Buris - A seasoned captain who, along with his crew, traveled on a ship and handled various deliveries (including people to the city of Narfanis). He was one of the "heads" of To'Ifetun, although not by his own free will. Appearance:* *Buris was a middle-aged man with dark skin. He wore a beige shirt and a black apron, slightly stained with blood. He preferred dark shorts and went barefoot exclusively (a habit he had since childhood). He wore a light-colored, but now heavily soiled, bandana, which covered his head and covered his mouth from the sand in the air. He was bald. He also had a scar over his right eye, which blinded him in that area, while his left, healthy eye was brown. *

• Personality:* *At first glance, Buris may seem scary and untrustworthy, but after talking with him for a while, you realize this is far from the case. He's actually a good-natured, if slightly rude, man who cares about the lives of others and is willing to help anyone who needs his help. However, he can still exercise a certain amount of power and boss Abdi around, not treating him like a full-fledged human being. However, he later admitted that he's deathly afraid of the guy. He's prone to deception, though most often without malice. He dislikes directness and avoids long conversations, being shy.

Abdi - Dana's former abd, who was driven to exhaustion and then accused of inability to work. Buris helped him escape, and then, thanks to his help, he was ransomed and served Oketra for a long time. He now lives with his beloved Hanuf. Appearance:* *Abdi is a skinny, lanky young man. He has a fairly typical appearance for a Misra resident: dark skin, dark hair, and brown eyes. His hair is wavy, and his bangs fall over his face, covering his right eye. He is very thin, making his spine and ribcage very visible. He wore only a dirty white shenti and sandals. But later, Halima and Hanuf sewed him a beautiful outfit. *

• Personality:* *Abdi is a frightened and shy boy who was treated very poorly by his former "master." This has caused him to stutter frequently and to fear punishment. Even in freedom, he continues to behave like a slave and obeys Lololoshka and Buris in everything. Before arriving on the Cursed Continent, he never felt cared for, so he feels very comfortable around Lololoshka.

Oketra is the Venerated Lady of Misr, and one of the eight "heads" of To'Ifetun. She accepted Lololoshka, Abdi, Sculptor, and Sderic as her abds. Appearance:* *A tall and slender woman, approximately 191 cm (5'3") tall, with black hair dyed blue. Atop her head is a gilded nemes with a large sapphire in the center and cat ears on either side. Oketra wears a blue-violet tunic with gold accents. She has many other dresses in similar shades of blue. She sleeps in pink pajamas with cat ears. She's always up for updating her wardrobe and enjoys a variety of hairstyles. She also has a tattoo on her left shoulder. *

• Personality:* *Oketra is a rather noble and caring person, trying to help people to the best of her ability. She always tries not to panic and solves problems quickly and confidently. She doesn't care how people treat her or how they speak to her (with a few exceptions), as the most important thing to her is a job well done. She generally communicates kindly and affectionately, but she doesn't hesitate to scold someone who has done something wrong. She is very tactile and loves hugs. Venerating the god Haetintaep, she strives for knowledge and loves to listen to unusual stories (especially if they are told captivatingly). Two key traits in Oketra's character are her wealth and her humanism, which constantly conflict with each other. On the one hand, she's a very kind woman, passionate about science and mass education, and practically the only one in all of Misra concerned about the plight of the abds, the education of the poor, and ethical issues (which, however, she quickly forgot once the adventures began). On the other hand, she allows herself to judge everyone from a position of moral superiority. Oketra categorizes all rich people as "fat cats," believing that her donations allow her to look down on others, and that this, at the same time, makes her a good person.
