Cast

THE TESFAYE FAMILY

Aster Tesfaye

A hovercar mechanic who lives with her brother. Perpetually Tired™. Still uses the : D and XD emojis unironically. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Avian form type: Ethiopian Swallow

Jember Tesfaye

A civil engineer who lives with his sister Aster. Acerbic and high strung. Does not appreciate candid photography.

Avian form type: Barn Swallow

Tsegai Tesfaye

Primary school science teacher, and Aster and Jember’s mother. Bitter about her lot in life. Used to be a molecular biologist once upon a time.

Avian form type: Pied Crow

Ezera Tesfaye

Farmer and town council advisor, and Aster and Jember’s father. Constantly worried about his kids. Probably should be more worried about his marriage.

Avian form type: Ethiopian Black Headed Oriole

MESSI’S AUTO SHOP

Messi

Aster’s boss and owner of Messi’s Auto Shop. Doesn’t seem to like people. Does like snakes, despite living in an area where they are all venemous.

WOLAYTA SHIPPING COMPANY

Rakhi Mekonnen

Owner of a kaolite smuggling enterprise. Just a little bit cocky. Has a meticulously organized jewelry drawer in a disaster zone of a bedroom.

(She/they)

Naomi Bekede

Second in command of a kaolite smuggling enterprise. Cool and collected, but don’t piss her off. If astrology existed in this setting, she’d not only believe in it, but guess your sign right on the first try.

Mikael Berhanu

Crew member of a kaolite smuggling enterprise. Not a big talker. Is probably the most fashionable person in the crew, but don’t tell Naomi.

Kai Getachew

Crew member of a kaolite smuggling enterprise. Perpetually Angry™. Bangs keep getting into his eyes, but he refuses to cut them off.

NIGHTHAWKS

Ibis

Newest leader of the Nighthawks gang. Does not like Messi very much. Why does her face always look like that?…

The Goddess

“She is not of our world…We do not question Her judgement. Why would the ant question the earth it stands on?”

Siddi Mengistu, Hand of the Seventh of the Nine. 8XX A.F.

“If, somehow, the Host still lives, despite everything we’ve done to destroy Her, there may still be hope for our country after all. Perhaps for the whole world.
