Zaire was gone a good while, and came back brandishing a dagger and two sacks of food.

"Right, so this should last us till the next stop! Jam, biscuits, preserved meats, fruit, and vegetables. When it comes to water, we'll have to fill up a flask or something before leaving," she said to her new companions, laying the food sacks down on the table. "I was thinking we could leave early tomorrow, so as to not get caught up in the bustle of others going home or traveling. Any objections?"

"Tomorrow sounds good, if everybody else agrees." Hanaka smiled.

Name: Emmeline Fizzle
Age: 18
Gender: female
Sexuality: pan
Race: fae
Appearance: Emmeline has curly light blonde hair that goes to her collarbone. Her eyes are a sea blue-green color and always seem to have a bit of a twinkle to them. Her eyebrows are dramatically arched and fairly thin, and she has a button nose and rosebud lips. Emmeline has a dusting on freckles on her face and shoulders mostly, but has some all over her body. Her ears are slightly pointed, like an elf’s, and her whole appearance is a bit magical and fairy-like. She has a delicate frame and is 5’ 0”. She has high cheekbones and a mischievous smile.
Personality: Despite her pretty, bubbly appearance, Emmeline is what one would call a pessimist. She’s sarcastic, blunt, and even sometimes straight up rude. She can’t resist a challenge or dare, and likes to flirt. She is a bit of a troublemaker and enjoys drama. However, despite the hard edges of her personality, she can be quite kind once you get to know her. She is fiercely loyal and protective of her friends and cares very deeply (even if she won’t admit it).
Any powers?: She has healing powers, which she can use on herself and others. There are limits though. She can’t bring anyone back from the dead and she can’t heal everything (like certain kinds of poison or venom, for example).
Flaws: She can be rude, likes to stir up drama, and is pessimistic. She also is slow to take to people.
Likes/Dislikes: the rain, causing drama, winning things, talking to intelligent people/boring people, heat, spineless people
Other:

Tiergan stands quietly to the side. "No objections."

Name: Jaxxon Kim
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Race: Siren (I was going to make him human but then I had an idea)
Appearance: Jax isn't too tall, his height falling around 5' 11" or 179 cm, and he's pretty slender. He still has some muscle, and it looks like he does too, but he has more of a body type suited to speed and flexibility. Jax has dyed his hair many colors, and right now his hair is a shade called "Voodoo Blue". Throughout all the dyes, though, Jax has kept his hairstyle relatively the same. It's basically that long-ish e-boy hairstyle but with an undercut. His eyes are a golden brown, with long lashes. Basically he's a Korean baby boy with this face. And I know sirens are also technically mermaids, so his tail is actually a deep teal leaning more towards blue. Both with and without the tail, Jax has gills on either side of his neck.
Personality: He's really cocky and sarcastic to hid the fact that he has no self-esteem and no self-confidence. He also struggles with his hero complex and therefore has no self-preservation either. But underneath all of that, behind closed doors, he is baby. He's also a really loyal person and is very scared of spiders
Any powers?: His voice can be used to make people do things, and he's honed it enough that he can make people do whatever he wants.
Flaws: He doesn't know when to stop talking. He apologizes for the littlest of things bc yay anxiety. He's a loyal boi and that can be used against him so, since he's more built for speed rather than strength, he's not as strong as others.
Likes/Dislikes: Likes: Red, music, loyalty, warmth, trust
Dislikes: s p i d e r s, silence, the color yellow, using his power too much
Other: I think that's it, but I might've missed something.

(thanks! :D)

Emmeline noticed a small group forming a few tables over, raising an eyebrow. Sometimes she wished that she had enhanced hearing so she could eavesdrop more, but it was always better to just involve herself. After a brief moment of indecision, she strutted over to the group. “What are you all ganging up for? Some kind of quest or something?” she asked, glancing around at all of them coolly.

"That-" Zaire began to yell, then froze when she realized how loud her voice was, resuming her answer in a whisper, "Is exactly what we're doing. We are ganging up for a quest."

Zaire took one brief look over Emmeline before speaking again.

"You're fae, aren't you?" she said, a bit of a smirk on her face.

Emmeline’s eyes narrowed as she folded her arms in front of her chest. “Yes, why?” Emmeline asked. “Do you need me on your oh so heroic quest? I will help you, depending on how much you’re offering.”

"Hmm, I just know a fae when I see one, considering I'm not too far off from one myself," Zaire said, humming as she thought out her next sentences. "We don't really need you per se, but if you would like, extra help is always nice, and there will be a reward regardless of what we find. You interested or not, kid?"

Her eyes met with Emmeline's, and an unreadable expression crossed her face as she awaited a response.

Emmeline frowned at the word “kid”. Surely this girl wasn’t much older than herself, though Emmeline might look younger than she really was. She thought over the offer for a moment.
“I’ll join your quest, I suppose,” she relented, glancing at each of them in turn. “Lord knows I could use the money.”

"Cool, let's go." Tiergan said. His hands were clutching each other very tightly, and he glanced at his watch. "Let's go before the sun comes down."

“Someone’s in a hurry,” Emmeline commented, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. This should be interesting, and, though she had pretended it was only about the money, she was a bit excited to go on a real quest.

"Aye, I suppose it would be best to leave now," Zaire said, "We might run into assassins or something but that's the least of my worries."

She sighed, face turning red as she turned around, inhaling deeply.

"Anyone looking to join last-minute?" she asked, voice powerful and loud as she ducked her head in shame.

"Join what?" Jax asked curiously as he walked up to the group. He hadn't been on land too long, but he was intrigued by the idea of something exciting.

"A quest to retrieve some random crown," Zaire replied, looking Jax dead in the eyes. "The pay is good if that's any reason for you to join."

Zaire really didn't see a problem with spreading the pay between as many people as possible due to the fact that she wasn't the one who would be paying them.

Jax shook his head, smirking slightly. "Nah, I don't need any payment. I'll help, I'd like a little adventure before I go back home." He shrugged nonchalantly.

Mikazu glanced around at the group, once small, now significantly larger. She eyed the fae with her eyes squinted. She hadn't expected magicfolk to be in such a town as this, but alas, here one was, standing right in front of her.
"What's your name? I'm Mikazu." She held out a hand, the only thing not pinned to her sides in a closed off nature.

Emmeline looked at the girl her nose, which was a quite a feat considering the small size of her nose and her height. “Emmeline,” she responded, shaking the girl’s hand. “What made you join this quest?”

Zaire watched the exchange curiously-this was certainly an interesting group she'd gathered.

"At least people are getting along," she mumbled to herself.

Hanaka grinned. "I'm Hanaka! Welcome to the quest!"

"Let's go on the quest already," Tiergan said.

“Thank you,” Emmeline responded, smiling as she curled a lock of hair around her finger. This girl would be an interesting companion.

"Just… curiosity, I guess. You?" Mikazu attempted a smile.
