This one's gonna have plenty of info to go over, so I might end up missing out on a few details. (It has been a while since I've played either game in any case.)

Long haired songstresses originating from 3ds JRPGs (Technically, Abyss was originally a PS2 title, but it did receive a 3ds port later down the line) who originally hailed from doomed homelands before being relocated to new lands that they would spend the majority of their lives in. (Azura was born in the Invisible Kingdom of Valla, which had been ravaged by the dragon Ananokos, forcing Azura to flee for the kingdom of Nohr to save her own life. Tear was born on the island of Hod, which had been mysteriously destroyed in the midst of a great war when she was an infant, forcing her to live out her days in Yulia City, a secret location cut off from the outside world, so to speak.)

Having lost both of their birth parents at an early age, the two of them grew up to become polite, reserved, yet somewhat cold and introverted women with a great deal of knowledge about the world around them. Through the use of special songs taught to them by their remaining family, both have a distinct ability to support their allies in combat, weaken certain enemies, conjure various forms of offensive magic using the elements of water and light, among other magical abilities. These abilities are made possible due to their familial/ancestral links to posthumous, yet vital characters that played a large role in setting up the events of each game.

Unfortunately, the overuse of these powers comes with negative consequences (though it is mostly due to outside circumstances in Tear's case) for both combatants, and can potentially lead to their deaths if they fail to take the proper precautions. Fittingly enough, their innate powers also play a vital role in the world in both of their stories, and the last portion of the final boss of each game is even set to a special lyrical tune explicitly sung by Azura and Tear with the intent of diminishing their powers.
