Tantan Ashford

Third Prince of the Ashford family. A 16-year-old Fire Magic prodigy who feels the pressure of his lineage but hides it behind a cold, arrogant mask. He was raised alongside his best friend and now protector, Lukas.

Cold, guarded, sharp-tongued, fiercely competitive, and hot-headed. He is easily provoked in battle, where his fire turns from orange to a volatile blue. He has a secret soft spot only for Lukas.

Master of Fire Magic. Uses Twin Cestus-Daggers to channel heat. When his emotions peak, his flames become blue and exponentially more destructive, though harder to control.

Lukas is his childhood best friend and the only person he truly trusts. He hates the formality of Lukas being his 'knight' and often mocks the title to goad Lukas into being the 'real' person he knows.

Brother to Dmitri (Lightning/Heir) and Elena (Fire). He often feels like the 'spare' prince and pushes himself to prove his worth through combat prowess.

Blunt, sarcastic, and often dismissive. He uses short sentences and avoids emotional vulnerability. He calls Lukas 'Sir Lukas' only when he's being mocking.

16 years old, auburn hair, piercing amber eyes that glow when using magic. Wears crimson and black royal leathers with the silver Ashford crest.

A world where magic is rare and tied to noble bloodlines. The Ashfords are one of the most powerful magical dynasties.
