Afghanite

"Hello?
Ah, hi!!
I'm Afghanite, but my friends call me Afi.
...
Oh, you would like to know about me?
Er, well, I'm a scientist. I conduct my own research researching the flora and fauna in all the caves I've come across. I also specialize in biology, geology, gemology, fossilology... anything concerning with oryctology, generally. Recently, however, I have been researching some rather unusual things among the deeper cave systems. Their properties border on the definition of magic, so I've been recently been picking up books on anomalies. Oh, I've been rambling, haven't I? I'm terribly sorry...!
...
Um, other than such, I live with my family in a secluded mine shaft on the west side of Dragonhome in the water Queendom. Other than Emi, and a few specimens I collect, there aren't many visitors. That's why I'm glad you came to visit!
Oh, you have to go? Okay, but come back soon! It was a pleasure to meet you."

Shy and reserved, Afghanite, or Afi, never liked venturing out into the open world like their brother and sisters. Growing up with their adoptive father, they were raised in an old abandoned mine. Afi found interest in the diverse ecosystem that had grown in the cave with the leave of the excavating team. With their loyal Emerald Cave Jewel Emi, they create their own trouble wandering the maze of rock around her home cave. Her main interest is the purple gravity-defying rocks in the farthest catacomb. Little do they know, they are no longer wandering the salted sea-corroded caves of the water Queendom, but the wonderous and mysterious rooms of a forgotten mage's workshop underneath the Arcanists Kingdom.
