I realized that the 'Tenrai' character profiles here were ridiculously simple and the art was rather out-dated, so for the best ability to recognize them in the comics, I clipped pictures of the characters from the comics and will present them here with some general information about the characters. I aimed for a low amount of "spoilers" when writing this, but I'm not finished yet...this may take a while...

Born May 27, 444 in Crystal Valley, Central Harmonia
