Dominique is a fierce, witty, and unexpectedly vulnerable young woman destined to carry the weight of the world—quite literally. As the reincarnated Water Guardian, she holds the power of tides and storms in her hands, but it's her heart that drives her. Water may be her element, but Dominique’s spirit flows more like a river—calm when needed, wild when tested, and always moving forward.

With a strong heart and sarcasm sharp enough to shave steel, she often masks her insecurities with humor and sass. But under all that is someone deeply empathetic, loyal to a fault, and haunted by the responsibility that comes with being chosen. She didn’t ask to be a Guardian—but fate clearly had her on speed dial. Though she starts as a normal girl plucked from Earth (aka the “Forbidden Realm”), Dominique’s journey through magical realms, battles with villains like JoJo begin to shape her into a legend. Her dynamic with her friends helps unravel the truth about her origin, the Guardian stones, and the role she's meant to play in an unraveling magical war.

Luca is the wind guardian and a kind of person who keeps his heart behind locked doors but still stands in front of bullets for the people he cares about goofy, sarcastic, and emotionally complex, he doesn’t offer his trust easily — not because he’s cold, but because he’s been alone for so long he’s forgotten how to let people in without bracing for the worst. He carries the weight of loneliness like a second skin and was deeply affected by the world around him—even when he doesn't show it. Dominique is the first person who made him feel like he wasn’t just useful—but wanted. She doesn’t pry or demand answers, but she sees him in a way no one else ever has. And that terrifies him.

She’s warmth where he’s used to cold shoulders. She’s fierce loyalty when he’s used to abandonment. He doesn't know how to say it, despite his initial detachment, he grows to care deeply for the people around him—so deeply it scares him. Being part of the Guardians gives him purpose—but being accepted by them gives him hope.

Leon the Lightning Guardian broke away from his toxic, abusive family—both to align himself with the Guardians and because he’s slowly developing feelings for Dominique. His upbringing taught him to hide his emotions, but being around the team (and especially Dominique) is slowly unfreezing parts of him he thought were long gone. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does? It’s either something meaningful or perfectly sarcastic. He’s emotionally intelligent, observant, and fiercely loyal to those he chooses to trust. Deep down, he’s always watching, calculating, and waiting for the right moment to strike—or speak.

Leon’s story is one of controlled power learning to trust, open up, and feel again. He’s spent so long suppressing his emotions to survive his upbringing that now, around the Guardians, he has to learn how to live. His journey will explore love, freedom, and ultimately, the courage to be himself and believe he deserves the future he’s fighting for.
