Neria

"A fortress of defense is the base on which the tides of battle break."
Neria - Noctuoidea Decertator
Decertators are heavily armored knights who fight with sword and shield. They are not usually mounted, despite the weight of their armor, because they usually form the first line of an attack, protecting archers or mages with light armor behind their ranks. Neria is a skilled warrior, used to being in the thick of battle. Her calm and patient defense style has served her well. Although the Decertators have a reputation for not lasting long, dying or sustaining career-ending wounds far more frequently than other companies, Neria is a veteran of five battles. This is an unprecedented number for her race and has earned her the nickname "Fortress."
The mages of Divalia wield spells as delicate as moonbeams, lighting up the night with shimmering magic.

Anthyria, Noctuoidea Mage.
The mages of Divalia are revered among the Noctuoidea and despised by the Fidelium. Magic is the source of their rift and the dividing factor among them. Although the Noctuoidea believe that magic is their divine right and the source of their greatness, it was also undoubtedly the cause of their near-extinction thousands of years earlier. Aware of this, Anthyria seeks a balance between the magic that nearly destroyed them and the natural world that the Fidelium protect and merge with. She fights for peace and understanding between the two sides and for this she comes dangerously close to what the Noctuoidea consider heresy. Fortunately, her status as a sorceress has protected her, as sorcerers are more valued than priestesses for their closeness to the nature of their goddess.
Nature becomes a playground for a little girl, who rides on the back of a faithful beetle.
