Ayori

Ayori is a good example of the ideal Hayal - crafty, charming, and cunning. The deceptively adorable and harmless-looking Hayal takes great pride in this fact and knowledge and uses his talents to garner a rich feast of desires for himself, with the occasional human coming out lucky or bedeviled, and the majority escaping with relative healthiness if great confusion.

Much of this can be credited to his two parents, both Hayals, who raised him to be a stellar member of their species and with the understanding that Hayals were superior creatures to humans, beings that were mortal and jealous and wicked. Life was normal... 

Until the mother found herself falling for a human male and had an affair with him, one that resulted in an unseemly pregnancy. Ayori, near the cusp of adulthood, but still an adolescent bearing the softness of childhood, watched quietly and unhappily as his parents fought. The mother, warring between the desire to terminate her pregnancy and to keep it alive, while also conflicted over her feelings of shame and desire for the wretched human. The father, upset and betrayed, but wanting to preserve their family's peace of mind and image even as his own mind festered with hurt and anger. In the end, the baby was kept and borne, and to everyone's horror, looked and acted nothing like a proper Hayal. It hardly even looked related to the mother.

Kair was abnormal, born an empty shell, and this only tore the family further apart. The mother blamed herself, and the father tried to care for the abomination in their home, but no one could blame him for feeling unease and wariness instead. In the end, their family broke, and Ayori fractured it further when he left at the earliest opportunity, unable to bear what had become of his home and parents. He hated his parents, his younger sister, and the humans so very much... 

Ayori survived easily on his own. He was after all, a fine example of the ideal Hayal. An innocent demeanor hiding the guile and wit that lay beneath and caught humans like flies to honey and so Ayori ate and lived well, even as he grew a little lonely for someone to talk to. The humans didn't cut it, and certainly didn't deserve consideration! Ayori was glad when Alyanas came into his life - the geezer was charming and cheerful and warm, though the younger Hayal had his concerns about the old man's general beliefs, especially toward their relationship with humans. But Alyanas had survived this long and was clearly wise and strong, and he was lonely, so it was alright. Alyanas was more than happy to take Ayori under his wing, and the little Hayal felt better, the turbulent thoughts of home that cropped up sometimes easing and melting away. 

Until he found Kair again...
