Description

I told you I will release these characters soon, I just didn't want to talk about them on the Alphes Style Picture of them.

Sora and Terra belonged to a modern/oriental village, basically a village that was strong to its tradtional culture however allowed technology help with daily life.
However the village had a dark secret which involves twins...
Every 50 years a sacrifice of twins must be met... In this sacrifice the older twin must kill its younger twin and toss her/him into the flameing abyss which is believed to be one of many gateways to the underworld. This will garentee wealth and prosperity to the village. However if the conidtions aren't met, then the village will be destroyed.
Such a thing happened with the failed ceremony of Sora and Terra...

Name- Sora Gami
Age- 15
Gender- Female
Species- Enenra-like Yurei
Ability- Power to manipulate the ashes of the afterlife (red version)

Sora is the older twin of the Gami Sisters. When alive they were identical in almost everysense. However, when Sora and her sister became of age, they were to perform a sacrifical ceremony. Ignorant of the sacrifice till the end, Sora was scared and went into a fury of emotional and mental distress causing her hair to turn white in the process. However while strangling her sister, ignorant to the full process of "becoming one", she feared to lose her sister and flung herself and Terra into the abyss together not wanting to be alone. This caused a massive outrage and a curse plagued the village afterwords and killed everyone. A week later Sora became a Enenra, being born from smoke and ashes. Her sister recieved the same fate... The two sisters traveled aimlessly as yurei-like spirits until they came across Gensokyo in which they made their home.

Sora gained the ability to use Red Smoke, a type of smoke that can also be a type of ash. Red smoke is rather warm to the touch and breathed in doesn't cause harm but instead smells sweet. However when angered the ash becomes hot and the smoke turns sufficating and burns the person's lungs, if breathed in too much it can cause the body to burn inside out.



Name- Terra Gami
Age- 15
Gender- Female
Species- Enenra-like yurei
Ability- Power to manipulate the ashes of the afterlife (blue version)

Terra is the younger sister of the Gami Twins. However despite her being the younger one she was always acting like the big sister of the two, always very mature and aided Sora in everyway. However when they came of age for the ceremony, Terra was shocked to realize she was to die for the village, however unlike her sister she knew what would happen to her if she died, her soul will become one with Sora and they will remain together even if one loses their body. Terra willingly went with Sora to her death. However Sora dived into the abyss with Terra and they both died, having no body for her soul to become one with the curse activated and killed the village. Terra woke up later as an Enenra with her sister. Unlike her sister, Terra was very aware of herself and she had to constinantly try to keep Sora aware of herself or she would become but a wandering mindless spirit. But when they got into Gensokyo, Sora managed to keep her heart from fading, however Terra has to keep up with the crybaby Sora still...

Terra gained the ability to use Blue Smoke, which is also in a ash form. It is very cool to the touch and the smoke smells sweet like candy. However angered the ash becomes too cold to touch and the smoke freezes the lungs, and can even freeze the body.



Fun Facts

The twins are never seperated, they say this because they are one soul with two minds

Their bodies are covered in ash-marking that can never be washed away

Their abilities may be related to their feelings of the sacrifice; Red fiery ash may repersent the hatred of Sora, who hated the village for forcing her to kill her sister. The Blue cold ash may repersent the sadness of Terra, who cry as she was to leave her sister's side and can no longer aid her.

The two are very friendly towards humans

They can make themselves invisable, but if one has a pure heart then this ability is useless

If blue and red ash and markings are found, it could be traces where Sora and Terra made contact with

Red and blue footprints can be found where they were standing

Sora is a very emotionlly distressed girl who can't seem to stand up for herself, Terra however acts quite mature and is always willing to help Sora

They can read each other's minds and feel each other's pain

Their first names are puns...

Gami means "High class" which could stand for the ranking of twins in the village, since twins were seen like gods or spirits.

Gami is also used in several names of different japanese gods

Despite thier ability over smoke seems weak, if thought about it can be quite deadly, espically since the twin's highly concentrated smoke can materialize.

Along with the fact they can dematerialize themselves into smoke making them impossible to hit.

If they mix their smoke together it forms a more powerful black mist that somtimes fades into white and back into black.

The twins like company and will come to those who attract them, using blue lanterns and candles can attract Sora, while sweets left out to grab and sweet smells can attract Terra, however attracting one will attract the other as well.

Just calling out their names in locations they are commonly seen also does the trick.

If in a game, their boss ranking would be Extra Stage or at least Final, however their ranking can differ alot depending on the situation. Such as if they are just being attacked, they could be a 4th stage boss, but if they are part of the incident then they are much higher.

If they had their own stage, Sora attacks by herself as first midboss, then Terra attacks as second midboss. At boss, they fight together, but share the same health.

In concept construction, the story was much different and Sora had a different outfit then Terra's.
