Name: Marlenthal Onyafal.
Once upon a time, there lived 4 siblings, one as hard as nails and tough leather, one as cruel as the dead of winter and just as forgiving, one as quiet a mouse and perhapes the original cat that curiosity killed, and finally one with wings.
When Marlenthal died and his soul taken to cover his debts, he never once imagined either of his sisters would be willing to risk their own hides to rescue him.
When Kittarina battled for his soul, he was mildly surprised. She'd always been determind and forthright. It seemed fitting she'd go through hell and back to slap him around, when it happened, he found he'd almost expected it.
Marlenthal had known genuine fear a handful of times in his life. Mostly at the hands of their brother Kalentor.
When Kittarina gave his soul over to Chryrie, that moment had gone far past simple fear.
But...Wonder of wonders, his sisters forgave him the cruelties he had been forced to participate in all those centuries ago, they even gave him a ring to join the new family Kitty had forged.
