Bio:
It had never been a question on if Aubree was selected, only a matter of when. From the time she was old enough to know that she was pretty, Aubree knew that her fate and future lay not in her homeland, but that of their neighbors and overlords, the drakkan. It was a common thing that occurred for female members of the Lamay family, which had only survived though the male line alone. It was a sick joke that the Lamay's mothered half the Drakkan alive today. Since the history of the deal, none had every bore a Gem.

If she had been ever sad about it though, it passed the day she met Allie. The shy girl who blushed something fierce when Bree told her she was pretty. But it was the truth, from the first time Bree saw her, she knew Allie to be the most beautiful girl in Bree’s entire world. Together, they convinced themselves that the selection was not something to fear, but rather, the start of their true lives.

Much of Bree's childhood was filled with all the learnings of the drakken that were available to the gems. She was well versed in the history, lore, religion and most of the prominent culture traits. Taught to her to make the transition as smooth as possible. All of this information she shared openly and freely with Allie. As soon as they were old enough, the two girls took their studies even further. Researching how things such as how brides were selected and basic psychology of the Drakken race. After all, if they were going to be selected together, they would have to be prepared.

They planned for every thing that would occur after they were selected to be brides. The best course of action to ensure they were selected by the same drakken husband. They choreographed exactly how the first night would play out, creating a system to ensure they would always have enough time for each other at the end of the day. They studied different plants that could be turned into balms that would keep tried husbands sleeping while the mice played. Beyond even that, they discussed at length the various methods they could be used in training a Drakken without him noticing, often using angry bulls as testers for their techniques.

As the year passed, and their time drew nearer, their plans became more vivid, discussing at length all the things they would do to each other, beyond kissing. Have planned to save each other for their first night of sisterwives. Whatever had to happen with their husband was always thought of as a price to pay for being able to love each other fully, each and everyday.

When the day came though…all their plans fell apart.

They didn’t choose Allie. They didn’t even look twice at her. They just took Bree and left.

It took the whole journey for Bree to figure out what her next step was: She was going to spin a tale of the most beautiful girl in the world. One her husband couldn't live without. It might take a year, maybe two, but she would have her love again.

I apologize for the sloppy image- I was getting frustrated at the dollmakers and then inkscape kept crashing and just ugggggh.

Bio:
When a Fire gem from the southern border and a Water gem from the farthest north fell in love, no one had any idea what the child was going to be, but they certainly didn’t expect someone with Liana’s coloring. From the moment she was born she seemed to be a patchwork of tiny whorls and specks of alabaster and golden flecks, her hair streaks of dark copper mixed with lines of platinum blonde, one eye deep golden and the other icy blue. She was certainly odd-looking, but beautiful, in her alien way.

As she grew up, there were other oddities about her, most notably in her command of elements. While most gemminites had some level of proficiency, if not mastery, of one kind of elemental magic, Liana struggled with even the most basic of magics—for a while it was believed that she was one of the rare cases that didn’t have any noteable magic. They couldn’t even try classify her element until she was fourteen.

That day, in fury at the torment of the other children, something in her snapped, and she cast a shower of sparks at them, while a sheet of water splashed down on their heads. In fear the children ran away- they’d never seen a gemminite who had two elements. They thought, at first, that she was a drakken, and made a great show of checking her to see if her horns had sprouted yet.

Fiercely determined, Liana did not let their taunts get to her, for now she knew that she wasn’t as useless as she thought- if anything, she was even more unique. She spent countless hours trying to hone her magic and now has some control, at least, over both elements, though she is still much, much weaker with her magic than nearly all gemminites would be.
Other:
Liana is, like her elements, borderline bipolar.
