5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

The facts:
1. I've got acrophobia and arachnophobia. So atavistic
2. I have a thing for even numbers. When I have nothing to do, I think of a word and count its syllables. When their amount isn't even, I get irritated >_>
3. My fave numbers are multiples of 6 for some reason.
4. Six years spent in a Catholic school made me a die hard agnostic.
5. I talk to my cat very often >_> (It's the cutest creature in the world<3)
6. During lectures I often draw silly comic strips, "Adventures of the Happy Caliper". They're just extremely stupid (and badly drawn, too), but the Happy Caliper became a cult character among my fellow students
7. I'd like to have a snake :< (chameleon would also do)
8. My memory for books is really bad, it often happens that I read a book one day and the next day I can't remember ANYTHING

So here are the characters:

Aliele

Aliele is an elven sorceress and a former dragon rider. When it comes to magic, she always wished to surpass all others what led her to contact with Ruagh. This dangerous familiarity eventually resulted in destruction of her homeland. She believes she's the last one of her kind, although this isn't actually true. Now her goals are aimed at getting rid the world of evil (or rather her own perception of it).
Aliele is distrustful and mean at times. Being confident of her righteousness, she's always ready to sacrifice anything (except her own life) and anyone to achieve her goals. She considers Aveline as her major adversary.
Now that was some serious stuff 8D
Aliele likes to play instruments, mainly violin and piano; she also likes to wear expensive dresses. She keeps several magical birds at home - they remind her of the old days;]

Aveline

Aveline is a creature of unknown origin and unknown age. She's cunning, relentless and vain. To those who don't know her well enough, she seems to be kind-hearted, but it's just a façade - she actually despises everyone but herself. She seeks to destroy the creatures designed and created by the so-called Scientist (she considers their existence as a blasphemy against nature). To obtain her goals, she summons various kinds of supernatural entities. Darshana also taught her necromancy, but not very willingly. Aveline never questions her actions and their consequences, because she believes that what she does serves the greater good.

Ruagh

Ruagh belongs to the Great Blue Dragon species. It's a deceitful creature, and also overwhlemingly greedy. He justifies his wrong deeds saying that treachery and greed are rooted deep in his kind's nature and thus they cannot be eradicated. Despite these features, Ruagh doesn't think he is evil.
He helped Aliele gain more powers and her trust in him was tragic in consequences, as written somewhere above.
Later on, Ruagh had to fight his own kind to keep all the elves' treasures for himself. He was defeated and forced to flee.

Rajani

Rajani is a queen praised and admired by her kind. Her husband was killed during a hunt - she suspected Darshana of having organized it. She is aware of the fact that Darshana is keen to take over the throne, but she prefers tu turn a blind eye to it (some of the priests and priestesses are her cousins, including Darshana).
Rajani cares about her people and is seen as just, merciful and gracious, almost divine, but towards her foes she is cruel and ruthless.
She owns a great menagerie, where many sorts of dangerous animals (mainly snakes) are kept. Rajani also enjoys hunting.

Darshana

Darshana is a high priestess with a great lust for power - that's why she's in constant conflict with Rajani. She is always plotting against the queen; she has already managed to have the king killed and so far it hasn't been found out that Darshana stood behind it.
Darshana has mastered various sorts of magic and divination. She is sometimes asked for help by Aveline, but she isn't willing to share her knowledge with anyone.
