[kumous]

» 1920s philippines fashion but since this is the Fantasy Courts, they get to be fancier.
» all of the Court families are based off Mooneaters in Philippine myth. Bakunawa, the snake; Minokawa, the bird; Arimaonga, the lion
» each of the Divine Beasts grants a special power to each Court family! it's a fancy magic system
» the concept is loosely based on Beauty & the Beast and Swan Princess!
» Analyn is Beast, Belén is Beauty, and Luca is a very very very sweet Gaston

ANALYN: last snake standing.

aesthetic.
☾ picrews: normal / monster
☾ based on the myth of the bakunawa, the serpent that ate 6 moons
☾ pinterest for general aesthetic
☾ honestly extremely glamorous and beautiful
☾ brown eyes in her normal form
☾ feels very femme fatale
☾ would EITHER wear high sleeve filipiniana with a midriff cut OR open off the shoulder blouse filipiniana
☾ but her skirt would be big and would probably be more in a high slit gown style

DEMON FORM
☾ has a beast form under the moonlight....
☾ white scales all over her body
☾ fully red eyes, no pupils
☾ except her left eye has a flower blooming from it
☾ her hair extends down to her ankles
☾ fangs, pointed tongue
☾ part-serpent, part-deer
☾ based on the myth that if you saw an all-white visayan deer then it'd be bad luck!! chaos!!

personality.
☾ (analyn voice) i'm entering my villain era
☾ think sasuke uchiha but a charming young woman
☾ but her backstory is similar in the sense that her whole family is dead and now she only thinks of revenge
☾ what she actually needs is love and care and consideration and support and to be told she's not alone
☾ before her villain era she was a vibrant, young, smart socialite who was very good at navigating politics
☾ now she's lonely and heartbroken, and doesn't know how to trust anyone
☾ but that's where luca and belén come in!
☾ her family's divine beast gives her the power of a spell compendium built over generations
☾ also she's great at beheading. it's her special skill.

BELÉN: wilting flower beauty

aesthetic.
★ based on the myth of a bird that soars in the sky and tries to eat the moon
★ picrew
★ pinterest for general aesthetic
★ soft, almost androgynous features
★ something made of this material like stars
★ pants that are super flowy like this so they look like they're wearing a skirt but it's actually pants
★ cape barong style
★ wears more monotone colors because they don't want to stand out

personality.
★ quiet, awkward, neurodivergent
★ comfortably and proudly nonbinary
★ prefers the company of the stars to people, but does their best
★ loves their family and luca above all else (but still thinks of luca platonically... for now)
★ skilled fortune teller who tries to give divinations that'll bring people happiness
★ feels guilty when they can't, and struggles with delivering bad news
★ named as the most beautiful of all debutantes in the season (which they don't like)
★ would rather be working on alchemy and divinations in their workshop than dealing with parties and politics
★ divination is the gift from the divine beast, but only belén has an incredible talent for it

LUCA: playful hungry lion

aesthetic.
☼ based on the myth of the playful lion that accidentally ate the moon! it's the only mooneater that does it on accident, it's very funny.
☼ pinterest for general aesthetic
☼ paing takhon inspo for build/face, but with curlier hair that's a little more auburn. like in this lighting.
☼ also this is a himbo. all the picrews i found only had twinks and i was like "no...."
☼ traditional tattoo - maybe on his clavicle? you might ask if this is luca kaneshiro inspired. i must answer yes,,
☼ but also generally just geometric tattoos around his wrists and arms.

personality.
☼ golden boy!!!!
☼ but he's only the golden boy because when they were younger, belén divined a prophecy that he would be the hero of the era
☼ before that, everyone thought that he was stupid and slow and wouldn't amount to anything
☼ but now they love him! :)
☼ he has complicated feelings over it, but he just wants to fulfill belén's prophecy
☼ is honestly a sweetheart - a prime bachelor but he's had a crush on belén for... forever
☼ blessed with super strength - that's his family's gift from the divine beast
