Yeah, her brother is another character of mine, Alec. He looks a little older than her at this point since Kally died when she was 12 and most of Alec’s story happens from when he’s 14 and onward, 16 being the default age I draw him as. Kally‘s soul is actually stuck with Alec’s soul prism, which is how she got killed. It’s described better in their profiles, but essentially Kally can only use her non-Gost rifting elements by amplifying Alec’s rifting instead. He’s still learning how to rift properly, so he usually needs the help. ^^;
Right, I’ve been using a lot of these concepts and terms for over a decade, so it’s kinda hard to change certain things when they’ve been a certain way for that long. And I feel like if I tried to make changes to something as mundane as spelling I’d just end up forgetting or fighting against my long term memory. XD Ah well, I usually don’t question my young self’s nonsensical world building and just roll with it as best I can.
Oh. XD Well, Tetrae rifting is sort of an inside joke I made a long time ago that just stuck forever. In canon it’s a type of Lyte (light) rifting that tends to manifest as light prisms and is often more tangible than standard Lyte rifting. The Elemental Deity of Tetrae is focused around crafting and building from light, and its rifting behaves more like very durable magical glass rather than the usual form of light that Lyte rifting tends to take. Of course, that’s just my “totally serious worldbuilding explanation” to legitamize my younger self joking about Tetris rifting and attacking people with colored blocks. ^^; I probably should have left it as a joke, but now I’m in too deep and have to make things work.
Yeah, I’ve been working at most of these stories for quite a while now, although some have gotten more written progress than others. ^^; I’ve written several installments of the series that these particular characters are from, but I tend to take so long that I rarely end up finishing anything big before my “writing standards” change and I wind up starting over or doing huge rewrites because the stuff I’ve already written is no longer good enough compared to how I currently write. ^^
Kally currently has one literature attached to her, but it’s like... technically the first few chapters of a later installment in the series, so it probably doesn’t make much sense to anyone but me since there’s no exposition. I’m in the process of trying to revamp the first installment in the series so other people would have a normal starting point to read from, but I get distracted so easily because I have so many other characters with their own stories too. XD Someday I’ll get there...

Do you have a plan to turn these characters into a story of some kind?
