Folklore: Diwatas
Diwata as a term has taken on different meanings. At first, it was used for deities and was derived from the term devata (which is a Sanskrit term), thanks to the Indian influence on the Pre-colonial Filipinos. Then, with Spanish influence it became a term for dryad-esque spirits who veered into the benevolent/neutral side. Now, it's a general term for a nymph-like spirit or a term for fairy. If i can reference similar concepts, they are somewhat like the kami of Japanese folklore.

There's a lot of stories involving diwatas (in all meanings) in the Philippines and they are v integral parts of our folklore.

The "Tri-Mountain Alliance" i talk about is based off of the famous Tres Marias, which are a group of spirits associated with specific mountains; Maria Makiling (the spirit of Mt. Makiling, found in Laguna), Maria Sinukuan (the spirit of Mt. Arayat, found in Pampanga), and Maria Cacao (the spirit of Mt. Lantoy, found in Cebu). Will expand more on them soon.

How does Andromedon fit into this?
He is under Maria Makiling's branch in the TMA, and is also on hand to do any story that involves a fairy/nymph in a major role.

Romance
"I keep on saying I'm married to my work, but what's it gonna take to get a boyfriend around here?"

He identifies as queer. Jokes a lot about how he's married to his work. Has gone through enough rejections that he's a frequent customer at an ice cream shop near him. Still a hopeless romantic.

Pet
He owns a corn snake named Thal. He is "a very hungry sweetie", in Andromedon's words.

Trivia

 * The last name "Mabini" is a fairly common surname here. It also kind of sounds like ma-binibini; ma being a prefix that indicates the possessor of a quality, and binibini means maiden, so that's a slight pun?
