Background

Luna was born to the forest fairies of the Elven Forest, the daughter of Tiyaroper and Balanwei. Forest-fairy names function as family trees: her full name begins “Luna Balanwei Tiyaroper Aufuknisitan Lanfuni Kelaipixiya Stingniao...” and continues through her ancestors. 19

While traveling outside her homeland, Luna was swallowed by Caesar after witnessing one of his secrets. Once awakened, she pleaded for her life; Caesar then coerced her into signing an agreement that kept her in his lair, chiefly because he wanted her magical-sensing ability at his disposal. 19 20

Over time, Luna became a familiar presence at Blackwing's Nest. She helped test Caesar's supernatural abilities, polished his scales while he slept, played cards with him, and began drawing card concepts during periods of boredom. 24 100 171 After eight years away from home, she persuaded Caesar to let her visit the Elven Forest, where her parents learned that she had formed a close connection outside the forest. 149 153

Luna's parents eventually allowed her to travel again with a guardian chimera, but they later confined her after discovering that she intended to return to Blackwing's Nest. Luna defended Caesar's character, sought Garcia Yufeng's intervention, and secretly tried to flee the Elven Forest to reunite with him. 155 158 185 195

Her coming-of-age ceremony at Shattered Star Lake formally marked her independence as a forest fairy. Caesar attended the ceremony and used the occasion to provide Luna's family and the Elven Forest with weapons and armor as compensation for prior damage. 287 359 362

Luna later became Caesar's mate and gave birth to their daughter, Othin, in the form of an egg containing a healthy female dragon. 381 474 As queen of the Blackwing Empire, she became a celebrated creator whose plays use real beings—including dragons, elves, undead, and giants—as performers. 639

Appearance

Luna is a tiny forest fairy, part of a race generally around thirty centimeters tall. As she matured, she was described with pale skin, long black hair reaching her waist, lake-blue eyes, and two pairs of translucent wings. 179 185 287 474

• Often wears black dresses matching Caesar's scales. 287
• Can use the Shapechanging Necklace to assume humanoid disguises, including that of a young human man. 128 340
• Once transformed into a tiny silver dragon while with Caesar. 381

Personality

Luna is initially innocent, inexperienced with other races, and easily frightened by Caesar's threats. However, she is not unintelligent: even during their first negotiations, she recognized the logical flaws in Caesar's claim that swallowing her amounted to saving her life. 20

She is curious, adventurous, and prone to restlessness. After only twenty-five days at home in the Elven Forest, she grew bored and wished to resume traveling; even parental restrictions and the forest's heightened security did not extinguish her determination to leave. 153 195

Luna is affectionate and emotionally direct. She deeply values her family, worries about Caesar during his long absences, and openly expresses her wish to remain at his side even when he faces war. 179 287 585 Her maturity becomes more apparent by her coming-of-age ceremony, where she recognizes the political meaning behind Caesar's gifts and accepts them graciously. 362

• Ice Vein Necklace — A gift from Caesar. When its wearer is injured, it automatically creates Frost Armor for one minute, with protection nearly comparable to a first-tier defensive spell; its size adjusts for Luna's body. 149
• Harpy-feather pen — A magical pen used for her Elegy Cards illustrations. 234

• Tiyaroper — Luna's father. Protective of her safety and initially opposed to her return to Blackwing's Nest. 153 185
• Balanwei — Luna's mother. Nurturing and anxious for Luna's safety; later helped prepare her for adulthood. 153 361
• Othin — Luna and Caesar's daughter. Luna is a protective, conscientious mother who teaches Othin right from wrong and worries when she is in danger. 474 535 563
• Garcia Yufeng — Elven Queen and leader Luna turned to when her parents restricted her freedom. Garcia could not overrule Luna's parents before Luna reached adulthood, but later supported cooperation between the Elven Forest and Blackwing Empire. 185 359 362
• Magushir — A guardian chimera assigned to accompany and protect Luna during her travels from the Elven Forest. 155 158
• Nero — King of the Hound Demon Clan. Volunteered to escort Luna through Blackstone Mountain and protect her on the journey. 639 640
• Azliels — Abyssal Demon King of Blackstone Mountain. Initially mocked Luna as Caesar's mate, but allowed her to visit Caesar after she calmly explained their relationship. 641

Trivia

• Forest fairies come of age at thirty-five; adulthood grants Luna the right to choose where she lives, vote, marry, and name her children. 185 287
• Luna was upset to discover that the early Elegy Cards expansions included many Blackwing and Elven Forest figures but no card based on her. Caesar explained that he withheld her card to avoid making her a target. 261
• She remembers the names of every servant, attendant, and guard she meets in Blackwing Royal City. 639
