★Maids

Kilye Vaincu
Of the Lovely Lyric

Last year, I composed a small tune:
I sought an adventurer to make me swoon.
This year, at Maid Cafe number four,
I am proud to say that I have found the love I have been looking for!
My heart is warm, fuzzy, and true,
but that does not mean I don't have room for you!
So come and join me on this joyous day;
Let us embody wit: please, won't you stay?

Kyoko Hana
A dreamy kitten who fell asleep in the flowers chasing dreams and the wild thrill of love she thought only existed in fairy tales~

“… a-ah! I fell asleep! Were you watching this entire time?! N-Not that I care if you were, just… I probably didn’t even look cute! T-tch… well anyway… aren’t these flowers pretty? They bloom so beautifully… and they are my favorite color! But true beauty comes from the inside… w-wouldn’t you agree? You can sit with me if you like… there’s plenty of space…”

Dee Colon
A feisty Miqo'te you won't soon forget.

Love Love Star is fun but it's so crowded here I can't hear myself think, We should go and hide for a while away from the others. Hehe, you don't have to worry, Nariko said I'm not allowed to bite. Hey! Why are you looking at me like that?! I'm innocent... sometimes.

Onyrica Lasdregg
A curious, whimsical wandering artist who will spend hours at a time gazing intently into your eyes (usually while she determines whether they’re symmetrical enough for her next masterwork)

“Excuse me, you’re covering my light source- ah, wait, your face… the contour, the proportions – they’re perfect! Please, hold still and tell me about yourself while I portray this moment between us…
…seriously, stay still – I’ll have to start over if you move.”

★Hosts:

Lhyet Nostraire
Good-natured, quick to laugh, and let’s face it - easy on the eyes - this gentleman loves to meet people and share stories....and wine.

Welcome to the Cafe! Got a story to share? Me too! And with enough wine they might even get a bit racy! Hells, they might even get racy without the wine…but there is wine, right? They told me there would be wine...

Tain Talethas
The rewards of great knowledge far outweigh the wealth that power claims to have, in both love and war.

Few words are needed when one prefers a quiet evening with a book and some tea to blowing enemies to cinders on the battlefield. Share with me your thoughts, your adventures, your battles, and perhaps I'll share with you my own.

Vailius Himekun
This cute little miqo’te was once shy, but now has the determination to fight his way to your heart!

This time, I will not hold back...
Now I am determined to fill you with love!
I will ask you once again, but with confidence...
Will you be my shining star?

Pizza Maid
Someone to Come Home To

"What is man's drive for victory in war?
Is it the power gained after making someone submit defeat?
Is it the glory of the brothers and sisters who fought alongside you cheering your name?
Is it the dreams of wealth for every win obtained?
No.
The real motivation for victory in war,
Is the arms that wait to embrace you,
The one who prays for your safety in absence,
Thankful that above all things,
You're home. "

Gentaro Scarlet
A Maiden to Fight For~

Tagline: A garden needs love to grow.



Bio:

We met across a field of green,
a promise forever or so it would seem.
We tended our garden made for two,
and then another caught your view.
She left your gaze, you begged me back,
I nodded yes and cut you slack.
And once again our garden grew,
tended by me and some of you...

(apologies if that went too dark, feel free to yell at me to remove it if needed ^^ Also stock up on honey muffins!)
