Minvarii

Minvarii is a main character of Elementals. She lives thousands of esna before Alira and the Moonhunters. Her story revolves around her journey through life, espeically her creation of the Elemental Circlet and Songs (Melodies) to protect htem.

She was close friends, later lover, of Faelín, a half-demon half-elemental. After his death, she turned to destroying as many demons as she could. When she realized she couldn't possibly do it on her own, she turned to the Elemental Kingdoms, but was rejected by their claim that they had "no powers". Occasionally, a Queen would want to use Minv's powers for their own purposes, such as defeating their enemies, upon which Minv would escape. She decides at the end of the first book to create the Circlet, which would harness the powers of nature (the elements) to bestow power upon the Elementals.

In the second book, she is starting to create the Circlet, but runs into the problem of how to do so. She meets (TBA), who tells her about the Lord of the Heavens. Frustrated, she lashes out with her powers and accidentally kills (TBA). (TBA) dies, but turns into the Lord of the Heavens, who scolds Minv for her carelessness, but Minv stubbornly replies that it was his fualt for never giving the Elementals powers. At that, the Lord of the Heavens smiles and explains that he has no power; he is a nature spirit who watches over Aslandiya, influencing its weather, diverting the largest storms, preventing humans from finding it, (Alira meets him later and he also explains that he creates the "prophecies", which are actually not fate or destiny, but rather, lines he gives out to influence the Elementals paths), etc. but that he was not their creator. He explains that all humans used to be Elementals; they were the ones driven out by their Queens when the island became overpopulated; the ones the demons captured, but he whisked them away to the other continents. Then, they evolved and became humans.
