SUMMARY
A cheerful and bright (literally) girl known for her energy. She's never seen without a smile on her face. She cracks jokes constantly and is a bit of a motormouth. Her life's mission is to spread joy to everyone she meets. She's also much smarter than she lets on thanks to working as a researcher's assistant.
She is a decent Light mage, specialising in illusions. She can temporarily change her and others' appearances, so sometimes she'll switch up her colours for fun. She likes to conjure images with her illusions as part of storytelling.
She left home at a young age due to neglect and was eventually taken in by Fericeus, who she now works for.
PERSONALITY
You haven't known true exuberance until you've met Kiyake; you can power entire cities from her smile alone! Life's one big party for her, and not only does she intend to enjoy it to the fullest, she'll convince you to do the same. She's that peppy jingle you can't get out of your head, the one you find yourself humming in idle moments, but she knows when to turn it down. Every so often, she's the quiet after the party, when melancholy and sentimentality shine.
Of course, every light must dim at some point; behind Kiyake's smile is someone who matured far too quickly. She's genuine most of the time, but she's got a silver tongue. She knows the ugly side of life, that sometimes you have to bend the rules a bit to win the game. But that's okay, because it'll all work out in the end!

BIOGRAPHY
Kiyake was born in the Havran region of Vistus. Her parents were rather neglectful and let her do anything she wanted; while she appreciated the freedom at first, she soon came to realise that her parents did not care about her at all. Unfulfilled by her home life, she left to travel the world.
Unfortunately during her travels she was captured by bandits, believing she could earn them money as a street performer thanks to her talent at illusions. She managed to escape and Fericeus Salas found her lost and scared in Tananshia and took her in. Kiyake now works as Fericeus's assistant.
"Get ready, Greenglade. You're in for a real treat." The main story. Intrigued by her friend Fericeus's offer to study magic in the peaceful village of Greenglade, Laerya and her assigned companion Akorri set out to visit this magical haven. However things are never that simple with Laerya, and the two find themselves forming new friendships and testing old ones as they are caught up in events they never would have expected.
“We’ve been at this for like four months now and you still can’t handle heights?” Four months after the events of Vistus, Laerya and her friends embark on another adventure, making new friends, exploring the far reaches of of their world, testing their bonds, and crossing swords with an old enemy.
