To get some engagement going before launch day/as it develops, Sidhedust, the artist and writer behind the label, will write up some character introductions across their socials so that you can settle into the world a little more comfortably! Today’s intro post is for the protagonist of this saga, Luana Hoapili!

~Bio~

Quiet, yet stubborn, determined, yet cautious, Luana is the protagonist of TLGoTH saga! Born and raised in Keona, a small country led by a constitutional monarchy, Luana has a storied past despite her young age. Sometime, in her childhood, she was spirited away by her friends from the other side, and lived in the spirit realm for a time.

Three years before the start of the story, however, Luana jumped planes yet again, determined to carve out a mundane life in the realm she was born in, meaning no magic and no transformation. After much hardship, Luana lands herself a job with a company that hoards workers, and delegates them to their work every day-she ends up being a maid under the banner of Kalani City Cleaning and Construction service, made by the princess of the land herself to help facilitate the newfound demand for workers such as them.

Unfortunately, this proves taxing on our protagonist, as she slowly but surely fights her body and mind to keep her other form at bay-and due to the fatigue caused by the wild magic within, she fumbles on an important job and is fired.

By the time the story starts, Luana is ready to move on and find another avenue for life among mortals-ideally, without having to tap into her skills as a changeling. After all, the average mortal doesn’t use magic for much of anything, and that is the life she’s chasing.

However, as the story goes on, Luana finds that the magic world’s roots run deep within her and the events to come-and that if she wants a quiet mortal-like life, she’ll have to fight like hell for it.

Final Thoughts

It’s Sidhedust’s hope that you find the novelty and exploration of a non-human protagonist in a mostly human/mortal world most intriguing, as it is a big part of the story, Luana’s own personal journey, and attempts to answer the question, “is being a creature of legend all that it’s cracked up to be?”. The fairy tale that is Tovera Chronicles will answer that and then some as Luana moves her way through the mortal world and away from the one that adopted her.
