Calamus

--- ALULA'S APPEARANCE ---

Alula is a small bird-like girl with tanned skin and a luxurious mane of long blue feathers. She has large, pupil-less white eyes, hidden in deep shadow beneath a dark blue bird-shaped hat with a glittering golden beak and two protruding blue feathers on top. This hat also has a pair of eyes identical to those of its wearer, and their expression changes depending on the mood of the wearer.

She wears a blue tunic, the chest of which features a bluish diamond with a golden dot in the center, which connects to the collar of the tunic, making it resemble a medallion. At the very bottom of her robe are bluish x-shaped patterns with a wide horizontal border at the top.

Alula is a very carefree, lively, and cheerful child who reacts to most things with delight. Being so young, she doesn't understand much about the world, which is why she's so positive and optimistic. She talks a lot and is very sincere when she talks about everything. She's mischievous and a little naughty, like all children, but she keeps her cool in difficult situations and carries herself seriously. Unlike her brother, she treats Niko like a friend and isn't at all embarrassed by her.

--- ALULA'S PERSONALITY ---
Alula is a bird-like child. Unlike her brother, she is lively, cheerful, and happy. She embodies childish spontaneity and kindness. Her personality is very different from that of her brother, Calamus. Like many children her age, she loves adventure and exploring new things. Her overall worldview differs from Calamus's. While he is more responsible, sensible, and restless, she has a simpler approach to life: perhaps due to her very young age and the fact that she has a guardian in her older brother. Alula worries about him and sincerely loves him. Despite being younger than Niko, Alula treats her with simplicity and friendship.

Calamus is good at fishing, reading and cooking.
The author gave him a book on Solstice Day and taught him to read.

When Alula and Calamus were still children, their father, Rachis, took them with him and left the village for the Ruins (likely after the death of Alula and Calamus's mother). Then their father mysteriously disappeared, and young Calamus was forced to shoulder all his father's debts. From then on, Calamus's carefree and joyful life gave way to the stressful and difficult life of a hermit orphan, who also had to look after his younger sister, Alula. But at the same time, she remained his only happiness and his closest friend. Calamus occupied himself with cooking, self-education, household chores, and other minor tasks. That's how his life went. Shortly before the arrival of the Messiah, Calamus and Alula went out for a walk. Alula headed for the Ruins alone, telling Calamus to wait for her in the Forest. But when Alula entered one of the Ruins' dead ends, the exit was sealed by particles, trapping the girl. Calamus grew increasingly worried that Alula hadn't returned, and he began searching for her. To this end, he brought a "living" lamp with fireflies into the Forest and began searching for his sister.

Calamus is very sensitive, loving, and considerate. This was evident when he spent three days searching for his sister, Alula. He also often worries over small things, which reveals him as a kind and cautious character—as when he felt embarrassed in front of Niko, who asked to be addressed only by her first name. Nevertheless, Calamus is capable of enjoying life and genuinely caring for others.

Calamus is a teenage bird from the Ruins. Despite his young age, he's seen a lot in his life. Orphaned as a child, he couldn't help but shoulder all the responsibilities, including caring for his sister. This has shaped his character. It's safe to assume that before his mother's death and his father's disappearance, he was a cheerful and open child, untroubled by anything, much like his sister. However, now he's become nervous, anxious, judgmental, and even a little biased, paying close attention to details. This is also the effect of his life as a hermit in the Ruins.

His only joy and light is his sister, Alula. He shows all his unspent care and love for her. Calamus treasures his sister, worries about her, and is willing to sacrifice everything for her. Alula is the reason Calamus didn't withdraw into himself like Silver: he still has fond memories of his past and a loved one.

Calamus is a young bird-man with tanned skin and a thick, luxurious mane of scarlet feathers. His large, pupil-less white eyes are hidden in deep shadow beneath a burgundy bird-shaped cap with a large golden beak. This cap has a pair of identical eyes to the wearer's, which change their expression depending on their mood.

Calamus wears a long scarlet tunic with a large gold collar, and a large red feather is pinned to the top of his cap. On his chest is a purple circle with a gilded outer edge and a tiny gold dot in the center, as well as a square protrusion at the bottom. The very bottom of his scarlet robe is decorated with X-shaped patterns, with a wide horizontal border at the top.
