Seth was just like any other hunter, except for the part where he was the Field Team Leader as well as the grandson of the Commander, an elder man named Hayden who was a bit of a hardass- but in a good way. His parents had died when he was almost too young to remember, but Hayden helped keep their memory alive and it was because of what great hunters they had been that inspired Seth to follow in their footsteps.
Just like any other hunter, Seth was constantly busy. When he wasn't training new and lower ranked hunters, he was out in the field on patrol or assisting hunters on their first few missions. It rarely left him time for a social life, but he did what he could.
Seth was also pretty popular around Astera, much that due to his relation to Commander Hayden, but he was a fairly handsome young man in his mid twenties that had yet to find himself someone special- which led him all the girls fawning over him. All of them, that is, except for one.
Kittie was unlike many of the people in Astera, in so much as to say she wasn't a hunter. Like Seth, she was raised in Astera, though she wasn't born there like Seth was. She never knew her real parents, but she was taken in as a very young child by the Admiral, a gruff middle aged man named Cornelius that was surprisingly cheerful with a boastful laugh. Admiral Cornelius was the only family she had ever known and all she knew of her heritage was that she was of wyverian blood somewhere, having only inherited the pointed ears.
Cornelius was always so busy, rarely ever seen in Astera, so Kittie often felt alone. But, she quickly became loved by everyone as she jumped right in and helped out wherever and whenever she could- whether it was laundry, cooking, inventory, or just running errands. She tried to stay busy herself, visiting with anyone and everyone she helped, but even then it didn't really help to end her loneliness.
Kittie, like Seth, had yet to find herself someone special, but unlike Seth, she didn't like to have all the guys fawning over her. Cornelius would always tell her how beautiful she was and how she must have taken after her mother, and while Kittie herself never really paid much mind to her appearance, the men in Astera hit on her all the time- some even trying to get handsy with her. But many knew not to overstep their boundaries with her for two reasons: one being their fear of her overprotective adoptive father, the Admiral- knowing he could practically appear out of thin air if word reached him that someone was messing with his little girl- and two being the fact that the Admiral made sure that Kittie could defend herself if needed- which she had shown on several accounts when men tried to get handsy with her.
And even though they grew up in the settlement of Astera, they rarely ever interacted. But that was all about to change, whether they wanted it to or not.
