Welcome to Gaia! ::

Copena is more submissive, and she liked to be around others. Unlike Jolon she’s friendly and open. Though her fear of cemetaries causes her to be slightly… Off. The little poofs that follow her, she’ll often be seen talking too, because she doesn’t like to be alone. She searches for meaningful friendships. She doesn’t mind sharing with Jolon for the most part, but she doesn’t like that Jolon will often scare off those she’s become close too.

She looks for long last relationships. She dreams of finding a lifemate, though gets jealous at the idea of Jolon being with him.

Being the opposite of meek, frightened Copena, Jolon is a proud and regal individual, Stern and somewhat forceful, but good of heart.. if not exactly puppies and rainbows. She can seem rather indifferent, sometimes appearing down right snooty and standoffish, especially when she calls her shadowlings 'Attendants'. However, she does give aid, if in an offhanded manor. Perhaps she cares more then she lets on, and holds the facade to keep people away from finding out about her

Because of her split personalities, she doesn't look for anything more then casual relationships, not wanting to truly share with her other side. She tends to try and either break off long lasting relationships Copena has, or simply walks out to live her own individual life.

(note: this is subject to change -- we're hoping to do some history plotting with her twin brother and are still tweaking it to the point where Luna and I are both happy with it.)

In her youth, Copena Jolon, as she was named, looked like your average foal. She was young, playful, if incredibly skittish. One day, however, she had found herself trapped in an old cemetery far to the east of the Kawani lands. She became frightened horribly during the night as a recently buried human, mistaken for dead, awoke inside their coffin and began to scream and claw at the opening.

As she fled through the cemetery, tree's scratched at her face and back like the claws of wild animals, scavengers startled and snarled at her as they dug at shallow graves, and tombstones cracked as she tumbled down hill through the mist and crashed into them, the rubble crumbling over her, hurting her. And finally she found a gap in the rusty gates and fled into the distance.

However, cemeteries are a common thing, and as she ran into cemetery after cemetery, her fear only grew as her scratches healed into rough scars. They itched and reminded her of the pain, of her fear, and gained a constant edge of terror, threatening her young, fragile mind.

And then, fed from the fear, her injuries began to manifest themselves into the image of her horror. It was the last straw for her mind, and to save itself it split, forming a protective personality of Jolon to shield Copena from the terror that now followed her, and the 'imaginary friend', while stern, slowly helped Copena from the brink.

But as they grew, Jolon found herself wishing to live her own life, and found her existence threatened as Copena recovered from her terror, and refused to help Copena any further, trying to hinder her growth for the sake of self survival rather then any malicious intent: something that kept the mirror that was their personality unmended and fragile.

Who knows when it will crack once again.
