David Reowe

Tawide "David" Reowe (né a Wiri'ei; c. 10 BDY — November, 60 DAN) was a Lilin Foreaftian designer, tailor and rapper. So far he is the only known Lilin to have been created with the purpose of crossing dimensions.

Early life (10 BDY — 6 BDY dan)
Tawide crossed from Kaosetika to Foreaft on 6th June, 10 BDY. He didn't remember much about his life before Foreaft, suggesting he was intended to cross dimensions from his creation and was not repurposed.

He spent his first few days in Foreaft on the streets of Aoza'agoibi, confused by everything around him, responding with fear to passing people's questions and offers to help as he did not understand the language. Luckily, a few days later he was found by his brother and taken under his wing.

For the first four years Kalkaine, who had been living in Foreaft for over 40 years, served as Tawide's mentor, teaching him the language and everything he had learned about living among humans in Foreaft. However, his teaching skills weren't great. Kalkaine thought it would be better to teach Tawide the theory without bothering with practical lessons, leaving Tawide overwhelmed with information and standards to keep up with that he didn't fully understand, but feared that not following them would cause others to see him as someone who did not belong there.

Independent life (6 BDY dan)
Around 6 BDY dan Tawide moved out of Kalkaine's place and moved into an apartment in Aosa'amefte with Raiwuo Teil Waal Kuźis as his roommate. He took on calm social jobs, like working in the gardens, cleaning and caring for dogs, but spent most of his time observing, making small-talk with people and reading journals in archives, still trying to understand others. He also started learning basic math, which was a field Kalkaine had neglected greatly aside from elementary addition and subtraction. Being polite and helpful, though more inquisitive than usual, Tawide was generally liked in his neighbourhood.

Around 10 years old, Tawide released two rap albums under the alias "Taxx" (Lilian Aux. for tamed animal, pet), describing the struggles being non-human in a human world, fascination with society and culture, especially food, etc. The pieces incorporated a lot of his Lilian heritage into it and frequently switched between Lilian Auxiliary and Foreaftian speech. While it did not see huge success, it did resonate with hardcore avant-garde lovers. Since at the time there were no other users of Lilian Aux besides Kalkaine, most of the tracks were misinterpreted as religious chanting.

Despite never having been a child, Tawide counted his age from the crossing day starting with 0, thus for around 20 years there was a huge discrepancy between his looks and number on the paper. As a result he avoided any romantic or sexual interaction with others, knowing it would put the other person in severe trouble, until his age and appearance started making sense.

Personality
Despite being largely artistic, Tawide had highly analytical mind for studying people, a trait he picked up to better blend in among humans. He put a lot of effort into studying the rules, which led to him being the voice of reason and the dad of every group he ever belonged to. However, the insight proved to be a massive double-edged sword. He'd constantly compare himself to societal norms and was prone to existential crises. Despite not showing it, the age gap and the fact that they fell in love while Taniil was still very young deeply bothered Tawide and made him fquestion his own morality. His feelings were similar regarding his daughter's infertility. Seeing her

Kindhearted by nature, Tawide had a habit of avoiding conflict whenever possible. Due to the impulsive desire to prevent conflicts, he sometimes found it difficult to talk about what was wrong and why, especially if the other person was clearly at fault. This was especially prominent in relationships; Tawide would do his best to try to make his partners happy at all costs, sacrificing his own needs and preferences. In general, he would try to ensure that everybody was happy and that everybody's voice had been heard and if a situation truly demanded strictness, would still refrain from raising his voice, preferring to speak softly instead.

When an idea captured his mind, he would pour his whole heart into it. Tawide could be reserved, but behind a warm smile there was always a burning passion for life, creation and people around him.

Kalkaine a Wiri'ei
Tawide and Kalkaine's relationship took a turn for the worse during the preparation for Tawide's wedding. Tawide took a lot of inspiration from noble Lilin attire when designing his and Taniil's garments, which deeply offended Kalkaine. They did not show up to the ceremony.

Taniil Reowe
Tawide met Taniil in a smoothie cafe. He came in to sketch and brainstorm fashion portfolio ideas, as he was intending to apply to tailor for Rikodomo Design. A somewhat disheveled-looking guy caught his eye and he asked if he could draw him, which the guy agreed with. Distrusting and a bit uncomfortable at first, he soon took interest in Tawide's work and subsequently, Tawide himself. They spent the rest of the afternoon chatting in between periods of silence where Tawide would start to sketch manically, head bursting with ideas. Captivated by Taniil's looks and personality, Tawide asked if he would model his collection for him.

Taniil was Tawide's artistic muse their whole life together.

They started hanging out quite frequently, Taniil visiting Tawide's workshop at least once every week.

Having finished his portfolio pieces, Tawide got Arsaces Augustus to take pictures. While Taniil was taking a smoke break, Arsaces confronted his brother about Taniil's age and Tawide was hit with the realisation that they had been talking for a good half of a year, him starting to catch feelings, yet he had no idea how old Taniil was. He had always assumed he was a university student. Taniil shrugging and saying "almost 19" did not make it better. Later discovery that Taniil was still in high school, not uni, did not make it better either.

The year or so Tawide kept himself at a distance from Taniil. They still kept contact, but Tawide tried to make it as neutral as possible, his properly functioning moral compass trying to keep away from catching more feelings for a highschooler, even if it was completely legal in regards to age. Eventually they started properly talking again and it was Taniil who made the move first.

They got married on the 20th of March, 20 dan and had Žaukke less than a year later. It is unknown how they did that, but she is their fully biological daughter.

Žaukke Reowe
Tawide largely blamed himself for Žaukke's infertility, which he believed to be his own fault.
