Summary: The Branded; it's easy to be hated, but it can break your heart to be ignored.
The Gods Themselves
They were the unknown, the unloved, the unnamed. The Parentless to the Laguz; the Branded to the Beorc. Hated by both, feared by both.
But they were powerful. They had abilities that would let them change the world—if anyone would let them try.
Power, speed, magical ability, defense, knowledge—they embodied these characteristics, and were feared for them.
But most of them didn't want to be feared. They wanted respect, acceptance, love. They wanted friends and a family. They wanted to be normal.
They weren't normal. They were odd, both in looks and in personality. Wild and quiet, icy and caring, cheerful and pessimistic.
Neither Beorc nor Laguz, neither short-lived nor immortal, neither strong nor weak, neither alive nor dead. They are the Branded and the Parentless, not known by Beorc and Laguz.
Not even known by the Goddess Herself, in whose name they are hated.
