In this bio we take a look at the enigmatic Istrala by the name of Yin. Just by looking at her face you know she has a lot of secrets and is in no hurry to divulge them. <3

You guys have no idea how long I've wanted to share this concept with people. Kyrio has always been phenomenal at coming up with concept sketches for characters, but this one in particular was one that's always stood out for me. The moment; the very SECOND I saw it, I learned things about the character that I didn't even plan for originally.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you're not following Kyrio, you are missing out!
This month is an especially good one to give him a watch, since he is doing a kobold transformation series. For those that enjoyed my "(Ko)bold and the Brave" series awhile back, you're in for an incredible treat!
Anyway, that's my birthday week submission sorted out. Time to chill for the rest of the week.
Or do art. Whatever. X3

Man this raises more questions than it answers. I love it.
I previously speculated that she was Tansu, and certain parts of this Bio seem to support that. One thought I had that may not affect anything ultimately. is that well, Istrala are empaths and one in bloodlust can stir bloodlust states in others right? Well if we were to assume that the empathic nature goes beyond that even, then a Tansu, a demon who's own demonic nature is subdued, could theoretically manipulate the emotions of other Istrala through that empathic link, while minimizing the effect of the same thing on them. Certainly a wild theory given the amount of information to date, but it doesn't seem unsupported thus far.
That bit about "the irresponsible guidance of Rohan's demonic blood" is interesting too. Following the Stages of Monster Grief trope, she seems to believe that Rohan is in the Defiance stage, in that he's just lashing out at demons because he now has the power to and the human side of his mind still believes he should. That said whether he's still in Defiance or if he's reached Acceptance already remains to be seen. Rohan's interactions with both humans and demons in the nine days since he turned have been minimal and very nearly universally hostile, while the two that he has interacted with only see him for what he is, rather than who he is. And if anyone's going to see past that, it's probably going to be the girl who can barely see the what in the first place, Alicia.
And as for Yin "waiting for Rohan to accept his inner darkness", I legit think she's rather narrow-minded there. Rohan and his enyo didn't bond over a malicious desire for power. Given the circumstances I can see only two reasons why the bond actually happened. If the goal wasn't simply surviving the raid it was to save Ven's life. What they did in their newborn and likely empathic fueled bloodlust is immaterial. Until I am proven otherwise, I choose to believe that darkness isn't inherently evil or good, it's just a power to be used as the wielder chooses. I think even Rohan understands that on some level. Whether he holds onto that understanding is an uphill battle though with Paladins on one end and Yin and her potential crew on the other already convinced differently. And who knows what Ven is thinking at this point. His mindstate on all this is probably the biggest question mark so far.
Holy balls this went on longer than I thought. Just shows how much I'm loving this story and the lore behind it. Keep up the good work.
