Alula

Alula is one of two children residing in the Ruins, the other being her older brother, Calamus.

In OneShot: World Machine Edition, Alula's bio reads:

"A cheerful, excitable young girl. She lives in the ruins under the care of her older brother Calamus. Too young to remember much of what the world was like before the sun was lost, Alula is optimistic and thrilled to be helping the messiah on their special quest.

When Alula isn't busy exploring every nook and cranny the ruins has to offer, she can usually be found helping out her big brother or playing around the courtyard near their home."

Appearance
Alula is a child with tan skin, long, mildly curly dark blue hair resembling a bird's face (eyes and beak) casting a shadow over the top half of her face, and wide elliptical white eyes visible from the shadow. Two blue feathers stick out from above the beak. She wears a long shirt with patterns similar to that of a poncho and bears the symbol of the Sun. Much like other Bird People, her arms are covered with feathers, her hands appear to be gloved, and she has bird legs.

Personality
Alula is a cheerful young girl, often being very calm and positive in most situations, in contrast to her brother's timid and concerned nature. She also makes many jokes.

Background
Not much is known about her background except regarding her family. Her father, Rachis, was friends with the Author, but then became absent for unknown reasons. Calamus, Alula, and their mother lived in the ruins for a time. When their mother passed away, Calamus took the responsibility to look after Alula.
