Alba and Kera are the two nymphs that lie in the far end of the conservatory. Alba (orange skin) is possess the power of dawn while Kera the power of dusk. Never meet each other while being free, yet once they where captured and locked up in a cell, secluded from the rest, they found out that they where in perfect sync, both body movements and thoughts. Their individual powers are unknown, but definitely strong. They've never convinced forces before, yet they can sense that it can be a powerful weapon. They rely on their voices to cast their powers with words, yet the collars implanted by 'him' prevent them from making any incantation. The cage itself also helps to keep their powers under control. The flame over their heads represents their power and emotions, yet it can't actually make anything caught fire. Ever since they've been there, they have become the main adoration of 'him' and he's been the only one that has come in contact with them. The backstory of the nymphs is unknown.
Alba and Kera where the must fun and sexy to come up with. There where so many ideas that came to my mind, from plant like humanoids to bird-like creatures. I wanted to avoid an elf look and also a ying yang concept. They're still representing opposite entities, but at least I managed to balance it out with some colour and features like the horns. Most of the features where inspired in biblical images with the halo and the flames, yet I added some horns to Alba (but doesn't mean she's evil). Being nymphs, I couldn't come up with clothing for them, as they represent free natural spirits, so I added a massive amount of hair (although they might still be quite... provocative). I wanted to keep them secluded from the rest of the characters; by not having much interaction with the players in the level I made them into a special characters (you can only access them near the end). Enjoyed playing with loads of colours, specially on their eyes. Hope their (almost) nudity won't create any kind of trouble...
