Having chestnut brown hair tied back in what looked to be a bun, with light brown skin, deep green eyes, and her ears having a point but not as prominent as the other persons. *Giggling* *Surprise, looks to the side* Laying there was a baby giggling, they had a cloth wrapped loosely around them, pale pink skin from being a newborn, small pointy ears, ice blue eyes, and thin white hair. ¡°Hm, Twins, I wasn''t expecting that but then again I also wasn''t expecting to be betrayed or reborn¡± *looking back* ¡®They both seem to be healthy.¡¯ -Brunette *Out of breath* ¡®Thank you for the help, Elisa.¡¯ -Lillie ¡®My pleasure now you get some rest.
