Kieran
One day Kieran fell in love with Lustre who was a bright and laughing girl with eyes of gold. Lustre urged him/her to open him/herself up to joy and happiness again, and to put down the books and be in the world once more. And Kieran did do it, because he/she loved her truly. The two spend many blissful years together, but one night, Kieran awoke to find Lustre, her beautiful face twisted in malice, her hands crafting some terrible enchantment. Lustre after having studied Kieran's defenses over the course of their years together, deftly unravelled one ward after another, stripping Kieran bare. However, Kieran had not spend decades of study in vain, and he/she brought terrible and ancient magics to bear against her. Unfortunately though, Lustre's curse seized Kieran's heart and shattered it into a thousand pieces, twisting his/her fair form into that of a mindless beast. Lustre, her true nature and intentions revealed, fled back to the Sun Court where she was sentenced to a hundred years in the Sun Palace dungeon as a punishment for her crimes.
