![Nuciel & Bou [both he/him]
"An odd pair of avian fae - traveling musicians with magical instruments, and a romantic couple on the side. They first meet Rivière while in human guise, and, sensing their potential, later act as warm if capricious guiding wings.
Nuciel is energetic, theatrical, and knows almost everyone in the Faelands - especially Luna, much to her annoyance. Reliable and quiet Bou seems more content to go with the flow."
The characters are a duo of very bird-like fae, with humanoid bodies but beaked avian heads, with talon-like hands, wings along their backs, hair, and long ears tufted with feathers. Both are musicians, holding instruments. Nuciel, on the right, is gangly and extravagant-yet-roguish in appearance, wearing striped pants and a big pink feather-adorned fedora. He holds a large, pink, bedazzled guitar. His feathers are white, his face and hands yellow.
Bou is significantly larger and heftier, resembling a bearded vulture. Shaggy hair and a floppy cap cover his eyes. He also wears a large red striped scarf, a green jacket and baggy trousers - the latter two have some patches. He holds a yellow-and-brown accordion.
There are small drawings to the side of each interacting with another character in the story. In one, Nuciel has a cheeky, intentionally condescending smile as he prods the cheek of Luna, in her wisp form, who is absolutely seething at him. In another, Bou lies down in the grass, while Riviére sits behind him and happily uses their magical paintbrush (shrunken down) to paint a flower crown onto his head.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5yfvltmeowztvshya5e7w5jo/bafkreihg4bwdwdoowrrshbd37t7nhs6wdmyc4bgxsg6dahm67q362aqkqq)
![Fen
[she/her]
"The headstrong, hot-headed princess of the Pixie Tribe, Fen would much rather be adventuring than following her matriarchal mother's footsteps. But when disaster befalls her tribe's forest home, she's forced to take action, allying with Rivière in the process. Despite her attitude far outsizing her body, she proves to be a loyal and honest friend."
Fen is a small, furry pixie with wild red hair, long ears (with a notch in one), and large green wings with moth-like eye-spots. Her clothing is simple and woodsy, with a green scarf/cowl, a tan-and-green tunic-dress, large boots and bracelets made of a golden wood. She poses pridefully with a cocky grin, while other drawings show her pouting moodily, and being held back from furiously attacking an off-screen character by a very worried Rivière.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5yfvltmeowztvshya5e7w5jo/bafkreicajhs3x6vdmp62rgumpdnzvqs2j4wrmhwzh76qmvtnpmhod6slue)
![Estelle
[she/her] [transfem]
"The lustrous proprietress (and star performer) of the Moth's Flame, a hidden nightclub where she dazzles with her magical voice.
Vibrant, nurturing and steadfast, she looks out for the downtrodden for whom her club is a haven.
She takes a shine to Rivière, who finds they have much in common with her."
Estelle is a sparkling moth-like faerie who resembles a classic female lounge singer from the Roaring 20's. Her skin is dark blue with several light blue, freckle-like spots, and she has a large, pale fluffy collar. Her legs and four arms are covered in the same pale fluff. She has large, pink, fluffy antennae that resemble feathers a vintage lounge songstress might wear - in most of the drawings they poke through her wide-brimmed hat, which is adorned with a pink, moth-shaped ribbon. She wears some shiny pink jewelry, and has a flowing, layered dress in a blue, dark-to-light gradient, covered in iridescent sparkles. In the largest drawing, she holds a fantastical sort of pink microphone, winking and snapping the fingers of one of her hands.
Two other drawings depict her flirtatiously toying with the bangs of Luna (in her small wisp form), who looks uncharacteristically flustered, and letting Rivière try on her hat, to their delight, while one of her wings comfortingly wraps around them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5yfvltmeowztvshya5e7w5jo/bafkreieqdagl2lq4mabx56oguxlomx4q4pvppoazsbrytgkx4kzmjtkeam)
