Lugia

Lugia is a legendary Elemental from New Johto.

Appearance
Lugia is a normal sized, very skinny man with big dark red eyes and a healthy, tan skintone. His white hair reaches up to his shoulders with his bangs usually covering his right eye. He has two very long streaks of hair as well, sometimes styled in a bun.

Personality
Lugia, despite being timid, shy and weakwilled has a big heart. He's highly empathetic and sensitive, always putting others before his own good. Due to this being mistreated and exploited is something he got used to since an early age. He depends on someone to protect him.

Surprisingly his self-esteem is pretty low- mostly because of the way his mother and his first boyfriend treated him. Working as a model makes him happy since he gets to feel pretty during it. He's very defensive when someone questions his career choices.

Story
Lugia was born in New Johto far away from Enjushi. Due to his upcoming responsibility to pray for the country's safety his parent's had to move to Enjushi's wealthy district and close to the Bell and Brass Towers shortly after his birth. He grew up relatively normal under his strict parents and even went to a private school.

At age ten both he and Ho-Oh received special lessons by New Johto's priests, preparing them for their prayings. Unlike Ho-Oh, Lugia enjoyed his responsibility and turned out to be the more reliable of the two in the following years. He and Ho-Oh even talked sometimes, slowly becoming friends over the years.

Five years later, after the Brass Tower burning down by Ho-Oh’s hands and having to watch his punishment he agreed to marry him as an adult to keep an eye on him, forced to by the priests. While this made the relationship of the two more complicated they stayed friends and steadily grew closer over the years with Ho-Oh even going as far as beating up Lugia’s first boyfriend when he realised he wasn’t treating him well.

The two got a lot closer after that with many complicated feelings on both sides. In the end they ended up living their separated lifes and new relationships until the day they had to move together, getting used to spending the rest of their time as a couple.

Ho-Oh
Ho-Oh and Lugia have known each other for 16 years and have been engaged for 10 of it.

Lugia enjoyed his time with Ho-Oh from the start and was the driving force in their friendship. When he was old enough he regulary visited him and his family, growing up to be a part of it as well.

He feels guilty for agreeing on the arranged marriage by the priests and just wants Ho-Oh to be happy. Yet, afraid of futher punishment for him, he insists on them staying together, even standing up against his mother for Ho-Oh.

His true feelings for Ho-Oh are something that he isn't even aware of himself yet.

His Mother
While Lugia's mother has been his role model for his whole life she didn't treat him well. Even at a young age she forced clothes and beauty treatments on him to make him as pretty as possible, crushing his self-esteem in the process. Even today she makes sure he doesn't gain any weight, despite him being quite underweight.

When Lugia revealed that he's engaged to Ho-Oh his mother set him up to be in a relationship with the son of a co-worker and a senior at his school. Too afraid to say no to his mother he stayed with him for two years with his boyfriend treating him worse and worse since Lugia spend some time with Ho-Oh and his family. After Ho-Oh beat him up he broke up with Lugia, much to his mother's disliking.

Ho-Oh's Mother
Ho-Oh's mother and Lugia get along well. Having 5 sons she enjoys having someone more feminine around from time to time. She makes sure Ho-Oh treats him well, even if it means lovingly scolding her own son.

Ho-Oh's Father
After finding out that his son is engaged to a rich model, Ho-Oh's father has been bothering both from time to time. Wishing for him to leave Ho-Oh alone Lugia gives him money every time he needs it, only asking for it to stay a secret. He's quite scared of his fiance's father.
