Name: Gloriana "Glory"
Age: 19
Race: Human, as always
Appearance:

Bio: Born and raised in a place where winters came around regular and cold, Glory was initially surprised when she found the climate of the Bishiworld to be fairly constant and relatively warm. She quickly realized it was just because of her location and made her way to a slightly less constant climate, not enjoying the hot summers much. She still remembers most of her old life, but much prefers her new one with her bishies.

Glory wandered through the town a bit aimlessly, just kind of looking around at all of the people and bishounen around her. She was tempted to let her Guillo walk around with her, just because she knew he would draw attention, but she didn't. She liked blending into the background most of the time. Pushing her dark hair back over her shoulder, she adjusted her backpack a little and made her way toward the gates. Time to get back out on the road.

She walked for a while by herself, sticking to the main road, and finally decided to stop for lunch. Tapping her bishiballs, she let her bishies out.

"It's about time," her Claudia said, stretching. "I thought you'd never let us out."

Glory rolled her eyes.

"As if you'd want to hike all this way," she retorted.

"Of course not," Claudia agreed instantly, "that's why I have you."

"You would do well to walk around a bit," Guillo commented dryly in his double-layered voice. Claudia rounded on him.

"Are you calling me fat?" she asked. "You know I could totally take you apart and leave you like that, puppet."

"I never said any such thing," Guillo pointed out smugly. Glory ignored them, although she found the arguments amusing. Her other three bishounen, a Sesshoumaru, a Hiei, and a Lucivar, ignored the other two as well and started to get things ready for lunch.

Sera yawned and stretched as she headed across the terrain, not bothering to stop by the near-by town. She didn't need any supplies, she didn't feel like dealing with people, so why bother? Her only bishi out, Japhrimel, walked behind her silently, his hands clasped behind his back, a long, black Chinese-collared coat wrapped around him even in the mild heat.

"Hey, Japh?"

"Yes?"

"You're in charge of finding food for lunch." Sera grinned back at the demon, who let out a long-suffering sigh but nodded anyway. He hated finding food, mostly since he didn't really derive any nourishment from it.

Addie yawned loudly as she walked out of the hotel early in the afternoon. She had fun sleeping in for once. She had been traveling around a lot recently trying to grow her collection. She had been living in the bishi world for years now but hadn't really collected the amount of bishounen that other trainers who had as many years under their belt had. Finally she had decided to put an end to all that.

"You shouldn't have let me sleep so late." She yawned again as she stretched and walked down the street.

"You just looked so comfortable, it didn't seem right to disturb you." Gin said with his trademark fiendish grin. He was her newest bishie and she enjoyed having him out with her. Beside him was her stoic Eclipse, who had been her first bishie to catch upon her entry into the Bishie world. He was her father and her big brother all rolled into one.

"Besides, you are grumpy if you don't get enough hours of sleep." Eclipse said as he looked around, making sure that Addie didn't walk into anyone.

"This is very true. I'm also grumpy if I don't get any food."

"Then I suggest we eat. I wouldn't mind eating a nice lunch." Gin said as he smiled with his closed eyes.

Glory sat back and relaxed a bit as she ate her lunch, looking around at the area. It was a nice day, and there was plenty of shade, so she figured life was pretty good. She was even able to ignore Claudia and Guillo bantering back and forth, though truth be told, it was highly amusing to listen to.

"Claudia," she broke in, "he's not an Artifact, you can't take him apart to see what makes him tick."

"Not that I'd let her," Guillo added.

"But it just doesn't make sense," Claudia insisted. "He deflates like a freaking balloon when he's out cold, so that means there's absolutely nothing in him that could possibly make him move. I don't get it!"

"Magic," Guillo replied smugly. Glory grinned. Guillo was wonderful, he was just the right kind of smartass.

"Serafina," Japhrimel said, moving a little closer to her. "There are others ahead."

"Well, we may as well go say hi," Sera said, giving him a look and forging on ahead. "No need to be so nervous."

Japhrimel muttered something that she didn't understand and didn't try to, simply following behind her, ready to protect her if need be.

Sera paused for a moment to let out Aziraphale, figuring the angel would be best for first impressions, and linked her arm through his with a smile before she started walking again. Of course, lots of people came and went, but if Japh said there was someone ahead, that usually meant there was someone stopped for some reason, and she was curious.

"I should bring out Claude. He always seems to be able to get us free meals wherever we go." Addie said as they walked into the store to buy all of her boys some food. Thankfully her years of living in the world had taught her how to save up money and lots of it. She has been sitting on a small fortune for nearly a year now.

"He also brings us much unwanted attention." Eclipse said with narrow eyes as he followed her down the isles.

"It is rather amusing the watch the rejection on the girls faces when he starts flirting with their boyfriends though." Gin chuckled, causing Addie to snort.

"I think it was even funnier to watch that guy blush." Addie laughed as she bought a few prepackaged lunch boxes for herself, Eclipse, Gojyo, and Gin. She bought a fruit spread for Claude (making sure there were no citrus involved) and a few bottles of blood for Eric.

"Come on, lets eat outside. I need to work on my tan." The leader said as she lead her small group back outside, letting Claude and Gojyo out of their balls in the process. She would wait until the sun set to let Eric out.

"I hear some people approaching," Sesshoumaru said softly, so as not to interrupt the highly entertaining bickering. Glory looked at him.

"Really?" she asked, glancing around. It didn't matter, though, since the were trees all around, obscuring the rest of the surroundings. Sesshoumaru nodded. "Alright. Just stay alert, then. Chances are, they're just travelling like us." Sesshoumaru nodded.

"These two never get tired of fighting, do they?" Lucivar asked in wonder. He was Glory's newest bishounen, so he wasn't quite used to everything that went on.

"Not that I've seen yet," Glory replied cheerfully. "Claudia is enough like Milly that Guillo likes the arguing, and Claudia herself likes bickering with someone whose wits match her own. Really, just sit back and enjoy it."

Sera entered the area first, still towing Aziraphale along with her. She looked at them while Japhrimel moved up behind her, a silent, menacing force.

"Well seems we're not the only ones traveling at this hour," she said with a little grin. "Didn't mean to interrupt, but Japh said he heard people and I was curious." She shrugged. "I'm Sera, by the way, and this is Aziraphale and Japhrimel."

Aziraphale looked at the others, blinking once at the different bishis, most of whom he'd never seen before. Japh merely crossed his arms and moved closer to his trainer.

"I'm Gloriana," Glory replied. "Just call me Glory. The three you might not recognize are Lucivar, Guillo, and Claudia." Glory gestured to the three in turn. "Sess said he heard you three getting closer, so I guess we both had some prior warning." She grinned a bit. "I like travelling at odd hours. Less chance of running into someone who wants to battle and more chance of running into some of the rarer bishies. Would you like to join us for a bit?" she offered. "Company would be nice for a while."

Addie was enjoying listening to the flirting that Gojyo and Claude always did when they were out. She also highly enjoyed the fact that the two beautiful men were flanking her side, Gojyo's arm around her waist while Claude's was around her shoulders. Being surrounded by men always made a girl feel good.

Eclipse was following along behind them at a distance, rolling his eyes on occasion at the flamboyancy of the other bishounen that Addie had captured. At least Gin seemed relatively sane, although that grin was enough to make any person uneasy after a while. But he was intelligent and made for a decent talking partner.

Said bishies stopped simultaneously when they sensed the presence of people ahead, the presence that the other three had failed to pay attention to.

"Adele, there are people ahead." Eclipse said, snapping the girl to attention.

"Are they friend or foe?" She asked.

"I am not sure." He said after a moment.

"Then we'll have to find out. I'm sure you can take care of it if things go south." She said with a wink before continuing forward, Gojyo and Claude still hanging onto her sides.

Sera paused for the briefest of moments before she nodded. "Sure. Sounds like fun." She smiled and looked at the other bishis before she shrugged a little. "I'll wait to let the rest of mine out until later. We don't want to have too big a group size, after all."

Japhrimel turned to the road with a short, annoyed sigh. Sera instantly turned and looked as well, her eyebrows raising.

"Well, well. Looks like we've got more company."

"Wow, we're popular today," Claudia commented. Glory nodded.

"Of course, we also chose a popular spot to take a break," Guillo replied dryly.

"Buzzkill," Claudia sniped. Glory rolled her eyes.

"Guys, really," she interrupted, "as amusing as it is to listen to you bicker, you have to stop sometime."

"Hey, don't blame me," Claudia said, "blame the toy!"

"Wench, I'm not a toy," Guillo snapped. Glory sighed. It just wasn't worth the effort.

Adele stopped as they finally came into view of the other parties that had happened upon each other. She shifted a little, allowing Gojyo and Claude to simply walk next to her instead of being draped over her.

"Well well, looks like we just crashed a party." Gojyo said with a smirk. "Maybe they have some drinks."

"Or some nice company." Claude added, eying a few of the other bishounen with a hungry look.

"Or maybe we'll get lucky and they'll dispose of both of you so you'll be out of our hair." Eclipse said in annoyance.

"All of you be quiet or they're going to know we're all mad." Addie hissed to them. Then she turned her attention to the others. "Sorry if we are interrupting something. We were just coming out this way to enjoy a late lunch, that's all."

"No problem," Sera said with a smile. "I just crashed her lunch, so it looks like it's now her turn to crash something."

Aziraphale turned and gave Sera a look. "Sera, dear," he murmured.

"Right, right. Sorry. So I'm Sera, nice to meet you all. This is Aziraphale, and the demon behind me is Japhrimel."

"No worries," Glory replied. "Diversity is always a good thing around here."

"Yeah, we're all mad here," Claudia piped up. Glory almost snorted. It shouldn't surprise her that Claudia liked Alice in Wonderland.

"Nice, Claudia," she said. Claudia shrugged a bit.

"Anyways," Glory replied, "I'm Gloriana, but I go by Glory. Of my five, the three you probably don't recognize are Claudia, Guillo, and Lucivar." She gestured to each bishi in turn. "Obviously, the other two are Hiei and Sesshoumaru."

Adele nodded to each person in kind. "Its a pleasure to meet you. I'm Adele, but you can call me Addie. This is Claude, my flamboyant fairy; Gojyo, my pervert; Gin, my newest and my most sadistic; and Eclipse, my babysitter." She said, motioning to each bishi in turn.

"I have a fifth, Eric, but he is a vampire and as such doesn't like to come out during the day very much. Plus he and Claude don't exactly get along very well."

"I think it would be better to say that they get along a little too well, actually." Gin said with his characteristic grin.

Sera snorted. "Yeah, vamps and fairies either don't get along or they get along too well," she said with a little grin. "Has he bitten you yet?" She directed the question to Claude.

"Sera!" Aziraphale gave her an admonishing look. "Please excuse her," he said to them. "She is..."

"Incorrigible? Improper? Not British?" Sera smirked.

Aziraphale gave her a look. "Spending too much time with your demons, dear."

Glory couldn't help it, she snickered a bit. Well, okay, she snickered more than a bit, but she tried not to.

"I can't say my group is any more normal," she said. "Claudia is a technical genius, Guillo is a magic puppet, and it's too hard to describe Lucivar in one sentence... I keep forgetting just how good life is here." She kept an eye on Claudia as the bishoujo leaned a little closer to Gin.

"Dude..." she said, "You're really creepy, somehow."

"Claudia," Glory chided, albeit a little half-heartedly.

"What?" Claudia defended. "You know you thought it too."

"Wench, have you never heard of 'tact'?" Guillo deadpanned. Claudia rolled her eyes at him.

If possible Gin's grin grew even wider and creepier. "I like to keep people on their toes."

Addie just rolled her eyes at him. "Like I said, he's sadistic. He really just likes to see people squirm so don't let him get under your skin. He'll enjoy that far too much."

"You do know that could have ben taken in a completely different way, don't you my dear?" Gojyo asked as he wrapped his arms around Adele's shoulders.

"Oh hush." She said as she shrugged him off. She then turned her attention to Sera. "No, he's never been bitten. I've seen what vampires can be like on fae blood. I don't want to have to suffer with mine being in such a state, that's why I keep them separated, to avoid temptation and such."

"Don't let her lie to you." Claude said. "She only does that so she can keep him all to herself. She might not let him bite me but I assure you, Eric doesn't go without his taste of warm flesh."

"Claude!" Adele shrieked as a blush covered her cheeks.

Sera couldn't help but laugh a little. "Well, I can understand that," she said calmly. "Eric is quite good-looking, and I loved him in the series."

Aziraphale sighed and shook his head, muttering under his breath. "Really, dear," he murmured to her. "Must you?"

"Yes, she must," Japhrimel said, his voice bland and a little sarcastic. "Do you not know this by now, angel?"

Aziraphale tensed and shot Japhrimel a glare.

"Easy, boys," Sera said, getting between the two. "No need to go picking fights just because you can, Japh. Go bother Balthazar if you really feel the need to pick a fight."

Japhrimel grinned briefly before he vanished, and Sera shook her head. "Demons."

Glory listened to the exchanges intrigued.

"Oh, I get it now," she said, finally remembering where she'd heard the names Eric and Claude before. "I never really got into that series, but I did try. It just annoyed me, somehow."

"Alright, now I'm lost," Claudia said.

"How unusual," Guillo quipped. Claudia glared at him.

"Claudia, remember that book I tried to read, and I ended up throwing it across the room?" Glory asked. "That one."

"I think I remember that, too," Lucivar finally piped up. Honestly, Glory expected him to speak long before now. He wasn't quiet by nature, after all.

Addie laughed good-naturedly and held her hand up to try and ease Aziraphale. "Don't worry, its fine. I assure you I have been approached by trainers much ruder than yours, with intentions that are far from innocent. And, while we're talking about it, Eric is also great to have around if you need someone to braid your hair. You'd be surprised at the many different ways he knows how to style hair." she said with a grin.

She frowned a little when she heard Glory say she'd thrown the book across the room. "I admit, Sookie is quite annoying in the beginning. But, if you can suffer through it, I assure you its worth it. Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm starving. If you don't mind some company, I think it would be fun for us to have lunch together. Its been a while since I've really interacted with other trainers."
