Faline

She threw knives at living witches for entertainment and had no gold in her eyes, which meant that whatever the Valg were doing in that keep went straight through her.

One of the demon twins with Fallon. Three unprotected blows from Manon, sick on the floor at Morath, and laughing on the way out.

What she loves

Two halves, one blade.

Faline has never had to fight alone, and she has never once wanted to.

Her other half
Fallon at her flank, close enough that they move like one animal with two sets of teeth.
The Thirteen
The only sisters who never mixed them up — and never needed to.
The tandem
Two blades, no signal, no gap left between them for anything to get through.
The sky
Wyvern under her, wind screaming, her sister's wings a single beat away.

Her heart

Fallon

There is no Faline without Fallon. The books call them the demon twins and never trouble to say which is which — that was never the point. They are one weapon split into two bodies, and anyone who has watched them fight stops trying to find the seam. Where one goes, the other is already there.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Manon on a shirt without knowing which way the iron teeth snap — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
