Prince Lay is king Yesung’s younger brother, born 220 years ago. In spite of his age, he doesn’t look older than a 20-year-old lad. Born from a shifter mother and elemental father, Lay is also an elemental that can control water. He has no memories of the war that took place when Yesung fled to the city with him, because he was just a baby back then. After they returned to the ruins of their old castle, he accidentally discovered the portal that led to their own kingdom, that separated the humans’ world from the land of the mythical creatures. He didn’t know what it was at first, but because of his mistake of using it too much in the past, his body grew weak over time.

He’s grateful towards his older brother and loves him dearly, although he’s grown more attached to Luhan, the boy Yesung took in, than to him over the years.

His character is just like the element that represents him, calm and serene like the surface of a lake or sometimes playful like a summer rain, but there are moments, although very rare, that he can be like a storm in the middle of the ocean.

There are moments in which he feels the need to be alone, to isolate himself from the others, like his brother does too, sometimes. Also, because of his origins, despite the fact that he’s an elemental, there are remnants of his mother’s shifter powers. There are days that Luhan and Yesung can see faint traces of butterfly wings attached to his back, barely visible, and sometimes, his skin would turn the color of the wings he would have had if he were a true shifter: shades of violet and royal blue. He found that really weird at first, but he got used to the unusual change that occurred to him every now and then.
