 You have already met the Serpent. They were the one who gave you this Tome. You will remember, I am sure, its long, winding body hiding amid boughs of ripe and tantalizing pears. Keen-eyed onlookers may have even spotted the Serpent’s head; if not for their glowing slit-pupiled eyes, then for the small, stylish berets they like to wear, even though they have trouble keeping them on. When they are not camouflaged amid the emerald leaves of the gigantic pear tree, their massive form is often found curving around its trunk or branches.  You have already met the Serpent.

-===== Urick the Wise Hedgehog (Any) =====+===== Urick the Hedgehog (Any) =====
  
-This proud, giant hedgehog is an academic... or that's what they call themselves. In reality, they are more of a bookkeeper, and a rather unreliable one at that. It is all too common for one to find Urick mumbling to themselves as they trot about the Library halls, only slightly panicked as they search for some important administrative record they've once again misplaced. This could be anything from a list of collections on dying languages to their own lunch break receipt. Regardless of what it is, it is most likely to be found on their back, stuck on their many, //many// quills. They keep their bejewelled spectacles on a chain around their neck, and even they seem to lose track of those.+<del>This proud, giant hedgehog is an academic... or that's what they call themselves.

 +===== FREED: The Duo-ling Gargoyles (Any) =====
  
 The Gargoyles are brothers, or at least, you think they are. They aren't quite clear on that. They always seem to be arguing with each other and complaining about how things //used// to be. You get the feeling that one day in the distant past they were great winged stone beings, but nowadays, they are embodying increasingly weak creatures. Upset and dissatisfied, they usually take out their frustrations on other guardians or even Chosen, in the form of (usually) harmless pranks. It is hard to tell from talking to them that they have any motivation to save the Libraries at all. They just seem to be... enjoying, what little time they have left, in a sardonic way. The Gargoyles are brothers, or at least, you think they are. They aren't quite clear on that.

 These two shadowy figures are usually lurking around the Restricted Zone. If you haven't heard or seen them yet, you have probably //felt// them. Cold spots? Icy patches? A breeze where there should be no airflow whatsoever? Sounds like the Monitors. These two shadowy figures are usually lurking around the Restricted Zone.

 The new Guardian, Sires Plant, seem to be producing both green and golden fruits of an, ahem, very spiky and stinky nature. They are called durian, I've been told. Hopefully, they bring the same effect as the pears and bless you Chosen with bountiful Skills. The new Guardian, Sires Plant, seem to be producing both green and golden fruits of an, ahem, very spiky and stinky nature.

-In return for such a warm welcome, I feel it is only right that I return the favour. The Library has the seventh and last Guardian, (although they have been here far longer than I) as Aster The Intern. Although there seems to have been some confusion as to the nature of their employment (including for Aster themselves), I can tell you all definitively that they are in fact a Guardian. As such, please respect them as you would any other Guardian. +In return for such a warm welcome, I feel it is only right that I return the favour.

 +===== Angelo and Angelo (He/They)=====
 +
 +With the dismissal of the Gargoyles, for the first time in the history of the Library, a Chosen has been enlisted to take their place. Angelo and Angelo are winged creatures that resemble twins. Both with a set of fluffy wings that spring grotesquely from their backs. Gold writing covers their bodies. 
 +
 +One Angelo appears mostly human with an impeccable wig mostly fused to his skull and a forked tongue with sharp teeth and claws, a glowing aura of light shines behind them. The other is shadowy and pallid in complexion with black eyes and a willowy figure. They often hold hands, with the shadowy one hiding behind the other. 
 +
 +Taking over the duties of the Gargoyles, they control the usability of language and translation within the Library. Making sure all knowledge is readable and understood by all. They are the steward of lost languages and can be called upon for any linguistic queries.
