Ash Kaeru

Ash Kaeru is the youngest member of the Kaeru Noble family of Adashira and the current Earl of the island nation of Hudivir, a vassal of Galadonn. She is also the caretaker and founder of the Nord-Carn town, Inutai. Ash is a genderfluid catboy who was found in the swamps of Aldovir by the frog, Intant.

Early Life
Not much is known about Ash’s early life. Not even Ash who mysteriously has amnesia of the first parts of his life. Intant found a young Ash roaming the swamps of Aldovir and then brought him to live in Numachi.

Nord-Carn
Ash lived in Numachi until Adashira merged with Lirgal and Nord-Carn into Saramenor, where on ruins he founded the fort, Inutai. Inutai comes from a corruption of the name Intant. Ash worked to restore this land, which now borders the towns Arkplain, Praestenia, and Kaller.

Saramenor
During the coronation of the Ashen Queen of Saramenor, Ewatomi, Tortugans came and raided the event. Ash was beaten within an inch of his life, unable to escape in time. However, the Saramenor Government did nothing about this attack. This led Ash to have a distaste for Saramenor, feeling it was uninterested in the wellbeing of its citizens.

New Aldovir
Even though the old Empire of Aldovir had ended long before Ash’s time, he had heard countless stories of how great it was. So when there were talks of Galadonn and Sironia-Carn merging into a new Aldovir, he was ecstatic. However, this excitement didn’t last long. Communications began to deteriorate and the two nations became enemies. It was truly heartbreaking. And in another shocking twist, Sironia-Carn ended up merging with Adashira to form the new Aldovir. This truly conflicted Ash, because he was loyal to both Galadonn and the new Aldovir.

Return to Inutai
After seeing a map of Sironia-Carn, Ash realized that his old fort Inutai was considered an official town. This misconception inspired Ash to turn the dead fort into a real town. Later he would apply for a visa to become a citizen of Aldovir. He just hoped this wouldn’t conflict with him leading the Galadonn vassal simultaneously. His stay in Inutai would not be long though, as he was put in charge of the town Lantstein by the Imperial Republic.

Family
Despite being raised by Intant Kaeru, Ash was never referred to as a Kaeru. After many of the Kaerus had died or gone missing, including Intant, Ash wished to carry on the name. He then radioed to the alien, Byro Kaeru, who permitted Ash to carry on the name.
