One for Sorrow, Two for Mirth

Word Count: 2.6k

A/N: Maledictus! Femme! Gryffindor! oc. Regrettably, there is so much angst... Part One!

Maledictus prompt requested by @hyacinthsandbooks I had so much fun creating this character, thanks for the prompt! Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Drawing by me and inspired by scenes from the story. I hope you enjoy!

Overview:

Tom Riddle befriends an unlikely victim of a powerful blood curse

I had increasingly found myself in a perpetual state of insomnia and dread. There was almost nothing I could occupy my mind with that would take it from my lingering anxiety and melancholia surrounding my condition. My nights were long and restless, and I had to become endlessly creative in order to find ways that would keep me out of trouble as well as keeping me occupied during the long dark nights in the Gryffindor common room alone past curfew. Often, it would result in me exploring the castle grounds in my other form, or writing down my thoughts to pass the time. Perhaps it was the concept of literature that I would gravitate to because of its mysterious qualities of immortality. It was chilling but also somewhat comforting to know that my works would remain with me far after I had irreversibly changed. It was not something I liked to dwell on, but it was something that I knew I could not escape from--it was always there, nagging, prodding, looming over my decisions, my psyche--it was a horribly cruel curse.

Over a century ago my family had gotten involved with a group of vengeful wizards who were known for their adaptations of some of the darkest corners of the dark arts. They fled the country but the curse went with them. Once a curse of that strength had penetrated its way into your bloodline, it would permanently dwell there, feeding off you, like a tumor, like a degenerative disease, like a leech, essentially, it declared its power with its name; it was a blood curse. It was only a matter of years before there would be nothing more I could do, and I would have to accept my change and my fate with it. At least there was no need to study for N.E.W.Ts. My parents had begged me for years not to accept such a pessimistic attitude, to care about my studies, my dreams, and my aspirations. Over the past few months, through our owl correspondence, I felt they had lost the motivation to keep pestering me about a life that had been taken from me the moment my grandmother told me what I was: a maledictus.

Fortunately, at this point in my development, my transformations were still voluntary. When I was very young, I remember having frequent visits to the Ministry of Magic with my parents. They would have me seen by famous dark wizard catchers, legendary curse-breakers, healers, and talented seers. From the beginning we knew there was no known cure for this type of blood curse, but I think the little security the aurors offered was necessary for my parents to hold onto. They needed expert opinions, that unfortunately would continue to tell them there was nothing to be done. Of course, my childhood self had virtually no knowledge of the severity of my condition, and thought it was simply enchanting to see mommy and daddy’s workplace.

Since my first year at Hogwarts, I had told no one about my condition except headmaster Dippet, professor Stump—my head of house, and professor Merrythought who was an expert in the dark arts because after all, she was the DADA teacher. I liked professor Merrythought quite a bit. She was an older woman with grey-blonde hair pinned back in a loose braided bun which she always had hairs escaping from. She was one of the few people who did not immediately resort to pity and fear when I told her what my bloodline had been cursed with. She was calm and interested, she told me how special I was and got me involved into studying more about blood disorders involving dark magic. Unfortunately, there had been rumors of her leaving Hogwarts and retiring—yet another thing I would be attempting to repress. My mind had become an expert at most coping mechanisms, my methods of choice being denial, repression, and sublimation--primarily writing.

In a sense, knowing my future was carved into stone was somewhat freeing. It allowed me to live fully and completely in the moment, and not have to plan or study for my future. In another sense, the looming dread was very real, and seemed to be working its way into the grooves of my personality--settling in the fine lines of my psyche. My dull despair had become a part of me. I never doubted my purposelessness until I met Tom Riddle.

***

It was nearly 1:45am when I noticed his figure contrasted against the shamrock-green hills. In a defeated attempt to become more comfortable with my animal form, I had begun to fly over the castle grounds more recently during the night when I felt my insomnia had become too much for me to ignore by lounging in the Gryffindor common room long after the other students had taken leave. I was never in the mind of being rebellious or secretive, and I was almost positive that if I had told professor Merrythought, she would have kept the sensitivity of my travels safe. Spotting a dark-clothed figure, I circled closer, still keeping my distance. Edging in tiny fractions closer to the tops of the forbidden forest’s trees, I made my way closer to the figure. I was presently slightly concerned for encountering the kind of person who would be coming from the forbidden forest at nearly 2 o’clock in the morning, but my growing curiosity controlled me, and I eyed the figure from above, still slowly cruising lower and lower. When I had reached the grass, the figure had entered the covered corridor leading to the clock tower, and I decided to present myself to the figure who couldn’t have been more than 6 feet away from me. It was always fun to play out a little scare. I let out a shrill, stuttering call. The figure froze, spinning swiftly with a hand to his mouth. I could see his shoulders quivering as he stared at me.

“...it’s just a magpie, Tom...” he whispered to himself as if he needed convincing. As he turned to face me, I immediately recognized him as a popular Slytherin boy from... history of magic...? divination...?

“Unless...”

Defense against the dark arts. That was it.

“Are you... an animagus?”

I froze. How could he have known? There was no way he could have known... Silently and immediately I flew back outside the covered corridor back into the open air, and faster than I had ever flew before, I found my way back to the Gryffindor tower, perching on the windowsill I had left open, dropping inside, and in the darkness transforming back into a student and swiftly slipping under the thick covers, I fell asleep suprisingly effortlessly.

***

In the morning I awoke earlier than usual. It was as if my mind knew I had been gifted with a long sleep and didn’t want me to get comfortable. I had become accustomed to falling asleep late and waking up early—both situations leaving me awake while the rest of the castle lay unconscious. I put on my uniform and brushed out my hair. I found that the more I transformed, the silkier my hair had become, it was as if the strands were becoming more feather-like, and tended to reflect the light more. I had gotten nearly a dozen requests for the enchantment I had used, always leaving me with an awkward and less than satisfactory “it must just be oily.” I descended the stairs to the common room where I read the clock.

5:30.

Defeatedly, I gathered all my schoolbooks and began to review the material for my first class of the day. Herbology.

***

I decided to take a walk to the kitchens to pick up a cup of tea before breakfast, which begun at 9am each morning. I still had a few hours before breakfast, so after I made myself a cup I circled back to the clock tower courtyard near where I had departed from the boy I had followed last night. I sat on the ledge of the fountain and began to re-read the textbook required for this upcoming unit in herbology on uses and cautions of aquatic plants. We would be taking a guided field trip to the Black Lake for research, which I was quite excited for. While my eyes danced across the finely-scripted writing in the yellowing book, my mind wandered to last night. I found myself retracing my steps, and visualizing the boy’s face above me, shocked and intrigued. What did he know?

***

After herbology class, which had been held at the Black Lake, I followed the mass of students back to the main castle grounds. My days at school were mostly spent alone either studying or hopelessly wandering in my mind to places where I no longer had to abandon my future. I recognized very few people as friends, and I stood out from my fun-loving, reckless, and colorful housemates. It was as if my natural personality I remembered glimpses of from childhood had been veiled with a layer of plaque, tarnished and dusty. I didn't mind the aloneness. I often felt most secure when I didn’t need to reveal my secret to anyone, and was able to choose my schedule the way I saw fit. Back in the castle, I followed my normal crowd of Gryffindors who I shared my first two classes with. These were the students who I sat with at meals, went to study parties with, sat in the common room after hours with, but never ended up knowing very well. It was a polite relationship. They asked me what I thought about our next class’ lesson.

“Can’t say I’m excited.” I rolled my eyes, my hands rested deep in the pockets of my skirt.

“Don’t want people to know what you’re scared of?”

“Must be it.”

Defense against the dark arts with professor Merrythought was next, and the notorious lesson on boggarts had been expected by most students for months. Undoubtedly there was excitement for exposure to mysterious and dark creatures as well as teasing material for students with childish fears. I couldn’t help think of the boy I had encountered by the clock tower who I would inevitably see again this upcoming class. I hoped my nervous habits would not give me away as suspicious. For some reason, I felt the need to be wary of him.

***

The classroom had been completely rearranged for the upcoming lesson, with the chairs and desks pushed to either side of the long room, and professor Merrythought’s figure standing in the back near a large ornate chest. As the students trickled in, the rumblings of the crowd grew louder as giggles and anticipation filled the cold air. My hands wrapped around my arms as I attempted to retain my warmth.

Am I the only one who notices that draft?

Merrythought calmed us down and begun her lecture on the history of the discovery and initial magical responses to the boggart. It takes the image of what you most fear... Its true form has never been seen... It withers at the sound of laughter... The students got called up one at a time as she showed us the counter-curse Riddikulus! which would obstruct the boggart’s form and intercept its visual manipulation. Riddikulus! the steep chasm of a split cliff lets out a nasty fart and the room explodes in laughter. Riddikulus! a swarm of wasps turn into winged lemons and drop to the floor, rolling around and colliding with each other, and the class cackles.

Godric, would she just close that bloody window?!

“Lucia!” the room’s roaring died down and I felt my face turn red hot. My stomach twisted and contorted within me and my walk was feeble as I approached the large chest.

“And when the boggart is released, remember the incantation!” I swallowed hard and in a second, the lid of the chest flew open and a swirling silvery mass flew toward me and shifted into a bird, its head, beak, and breast were black mimicking a raven, but its belly was white and the under-feathers of the wings and long elegant tail that caught the light shimmered hints of deep phthalo green and royal Prussian blue. The bird began to lunge toward me and in a panic I shouted the incantation much louder than I expected.

“Riddikulus!!” The bird’s feathers erupt in every direction, leaving the creature completely bald and resembling an uncooked chicken, struggling to stay suspended in the air. The class giggled and Merrythought propelled the creature back into the chest and called forward the next student as I slipped back into the crowd.

“Tom!” The boy approached the chest in a single fluid moment. He wore his school robes to every class unlike the majority of students who only wore the required minimum of a blouse, sweater and trousers or skirt. He stood out not only because of his height but because his ebony-black hair glistened under the lantern-lit room. His robes seemed to be an extension of his broad square shoulders, and as he readied his wand I felt the room muffle in an unnatural stillness. The boggart shifted into the body of a young boy, with the same black hair as Tom, the same pale skin and full, pink lips, but the boy’s eyes were closed, his face was hollowed and gaunt, and he was lying on the floor, seemingly lifeless. The class seemed to collectively hold its breath as the dead body of a young boy nearly identical to the older Tom lay before us. Tom lifted his wand and smoothly uttered,

“Riddikulus.” The black robes along with the body of the boy melted into a thick black bubbling slime that seemed to shake and bounce slightly. This time there was no laughter. There was no reaction. Professor Merrythought quickly swooped up the transformed boggart with her wand and tossed it with a graceful flick back into the large chest.

“Well done class! Quite the show. That’s the end of the lesson for today, we’ll continue where we left off tomorrow!” The students murmured with the abrupt dismissal and I couldn’t help myself from straying my gaze to look at Tom. To my instant shock his piercing aquamarine eyes shot right back at me and I almost let out an audible gasp at the sudden intensity of his stare. I felt my heart-rate race and I nearly ran from the classroom.

***

Later that night my mind was racing, I had to know what he knew, why he had stared at me back in class, did he know I was the bird who had followed him last night? I sat by the crackling fireplace of the Gryffindor common room. The clock read “12:10,” and there was only one girl left in my company. She sat at the other corner of the room and I could hear the shuffling of books which meant I would soon be alone and she would be going to sleep. I caught myself staring into the flames, the fire dancing and glittering into smoke and stray glowing embers.

“Goodnight!” the girl called out as she ascended the stairs to the dorms.

“Goodnight.” I replied, my voice was tired but my mind was wide awake. My eyes lazily flew over the spread of books before me.

There was no way I would be able to study with Tom on my mind.

I couldn’t stop thinking about the way his bright eyes flashed in that cold room. It was as if the only thing my head could focus on were those piercing eyes and the image of that magpie lunging right toward me.

What kind of school social status would each member of the Wolfpack have

wait I love this ask!! Tho quick disclaimer everything I know about American school I know from High School Movies so I hope none of this is off!! (Also this became way longer than I expected so warning!!)

Sam- mans always been the dad friend! He’s like hard working at school and spends a ton of time helping his friends study! He’s not the kinda person who gets in trouble like he has never had a detention and all the teachers love him! He’s super responsible and defo got voted student body president but he’s still seen as super friendly and approachable!!

Jared- he would totally be the stereotypical popular jock boy with a heart of gold!! Like he’s on all the sports teams and he’s the class clown and everyone loves him sm!! He would defo be prom king and probably do a backflip on stage when he went to accept! You know the kinda guy! But he’d also be the person who will always give u a hug if you’re having a tough day, and who all the freshmen ask for directions!

Paul- he would be like popular but scary popular. Like everyone is either in love with him or wants to be him but he’s also super unapproachable! He kind of had the reputation of being a “bad boy” because of his sarky attitude and resting bitch face, but actully he is super nice and fun when you get to know him? He’s also hella smart, though people are still somehow surprised when he gets valedictorian and gives a really motivational speech.

Leah- she’s like a super high achiever, and she is captain of several sports teams!! She also runs for student body president and wins in a landslide (the year after Sam)! She’s a lil intimidating cos she’s so smart and driven but she is also very positive and loud. After her breakup she becomes a lil more closed off, and it’s not till she graduates and makes friends with Sam and Emily again that she opens back up...

Jake- him, Embry and Quil are that fun middle point where they are popular but not like prom king level! Like everyone love Jake cos he’s so sunny and positive and nice, but he’s not like super standout at anything. Like his grades are generally a average, except for art where he excels. Like he has been getting solid A+ and he loves working with his hands sculpting and carving! He also is the unofficial school mechanic if your car breaks down in the parking lot he always has tools on hand some how to fix it!!

Quil- he is that one person who does not shut up in class. Like he’s smart but he does not know when to stop, he gets diagnosed with ADHD senior year and like ... people should have known (no I’m not projecting shush) . He’s in the school debate team and they win every time because he is just super convincing and funny. He’s chatty and therefore he talks to everyone and is somehow friends with the janitor and the principal...

Embry- he’s the quiet emo one of the trio... he keeps his head down in class and kinda coasts along on his gifted kid status from middle school. He is amazing at writing though, he writes fantastic stories and poems in English class but while the teacher encourages him to share he is kinda shy. He does have a secret tumblr account for his writing though...

Seth- he is the one freshmen who all the seniors love. He is the popular one in his year, everyone wants to be his friend. Teachers look at him like he’s Jared part 2 but he’s his own dude. He’s very earnest and takes his work and clubs super seriously, he doesn’t ever want to let people down so he is the best person to do group projects with!!

Bonus!

Emily- shes that one girl who everyone had a crush on. She was a cheerleader and also ran the after school art club at the middle school so she would swing between wearing her uniform to school or long patterned skirts and dangly necklaces!! She’s the sweetest person and would always help out with any event she was asked too but she’d end up doing so much Leah would have to stage interventions tens of times per year...

Kim -shes that person that is super quiet but also suprisingly smart. She transferred schools half way through junior year so was a bit of an outsider. Then she became best fiends with Jared and found her group and that brought her out of her shell! She’s actually really funny and can be just of much of a dare devil as Jared, just no one expects it. She does win prom queen and her and Jared do have a choreographed dance. The secret is that she is actually the one who choreographed it....

#long post!!!#this took me years haha #tell me if I got anything wrong ahhhh #twilight #sam uley #jared cameron #paul lahote #leah clearwater #jacob black #quil atera #embry call #seth clearwater #Emily Young #kim connweller #that’s them

I usually struggle a lot with drawing hands, so I decided to do some studies. It was suprisingly fun to do, and I'm satisfied with the end result too 🤞. The video is a short timelapse that shows the two sketches I made for each hand before I drew the outlines.

I used the post Left Hand - Reference by WindsweptSummer on Deviantart as my reference for this. It was very helpful, so if you're looking to do some hand studies too I would definitely recommend checking it out!

My instagram

[Image description: A digital drawing showing sixteen line-arts of hands drawn in various poses. End ID]

[Video description: A short progress video of the above-mentioned drawing. First rough sketches in blue are shown. More detailed red sketches appear on top. Finally black line-art is drawn on top of the sketches. The last part of the video has the blue and red sketches removed and only shows the line-art. End video description.]

benders from atla in real life

So you watched atla and Korra and now you’re obsessed. Like really obsessed. You’ve tried bending the elements in real life but to no avail, and you’d still like to figure out what kind of bender you are. Below, I’ve listed a guide as to what I’ve determined are characteristics and mannerisms of all the bending types based on characters from the show and also real people I’ve met that share the characteristics of benders. (PSA: This is just for fun! pls don’t take any of this too seriously, bc it’s mostly just my thinking.)

Waterbenders: Waterbenders are smart, creative, and practical. They’re extremely organized and efficient and are so versatile, mainly because they’re often prepared for all outcomes. They are efficient and good at planning.

personality: most water benders can be laid back and serene, but at the same time can be as raging and strong as a storm as shown by Katara. They’re very driven, and rarely change their course, being suprisingly determined and stubborn to reach their goals. They’re also very warm and friendly towards those they love and care about, and often are a good shoulder to cry on. They tend to excel in fields working with their hands as well as medical and healing professions. Their creativity and ability to understand people also make them great teachers. They’re also very family and goal oriented and strive to find a proper balance between both. They are often ambiverted, and like to spend time with people, but also need time alone to recharge. Water zodiac signs tend to be water benders as well as those who identify as Ravenclaws.

Mannerisms:

moving in a graceful and almost water like fashion

their presence and posture is softened but firm

definitely coffee people, but prefer it iced no matter the season and with lots of cream

love the snow in winter and the beach in summer. (obviously feel very drawn to bodies of water)

don’t mind and actually enjoy boat rides/don’t get seasick

usually lean but not too thin. appear toned and exercise well

soft skin that’s always moisturized

aren’t picky eaters and can pretty much eat whatever

are voracious readers

exceptionally good kissers

core aesthetics:

beach core (obviously)

minimalism

light and dark academia (sometimes. it depends on the person)

Earthbenders: Earthbenders are stubborn, driven, and cunning, although earth benders can span a large variety of people.

Personality: Earthbenders are unique in that they usually don’t have a few set personalities that they identify with, however most of them share a lot of the same traits. They’re often realists, and see situations for what they are. They’re extremely tactical, and have firm, set ways of doing things. They like routine, and like water benders, always have a plan. They’re even more driven though, and often push themselves and others to succeed and fulfill their plans. They’re precise and intentional, and often don’t do things just for the sake of doing/trying them. They prefer to stick to what they know works best. They can be introverted, extroverted, or ambiverted, (like I said, a very diverse group of people). Although they are very grounded and emotionally stable people, this makes them reliable and a good confidant. They’re decisive and strong in their beliefs. They tend to excel in craft work that’s repetitive, like ceramics, fiber arts, and sculpture, self made business, and analytical fields that involve planning and linear progression of hierarchy. Law is also a common career path seeing as they have a tendency to be unbiased and able to make decisions. They are most common amongst earth zodiac signs and Slytherins are the most common, although some may feel they identify more with one of the other houses since earth benders in an of themselves are a diverse group of individuals

mannerisms/characteristics:

surefooted and agile. rarely trip or stumble

enjoy workouts with weights/lifting

strong/stocky build. muscular

don’t like tall buildings, airplanes, or heights in general

large appetite. Like, they eat a lot

like going barefoot (@ toph)

late nights up studying

don’t willingly accept help a lot

strong arms and hugs/cuddles

square hands with short fingers

actually keeping a planner

loving spring and summer

love wearing all sorts of rings and bracelets

core aesthetics:

forrest core (think northwest of the us and dense forested regions)

sage green (that’s literally it)

punk/hard rock

organized clutter core (having things be cluttered, but knowing exactly where everything is)

Firebenders: Firebenders are natural born leaders. They’re always leading, and are excellent at commanding as well as instructing.

Personality: These individuals unlike earth benders, are fueled by their emotions and passion. They’re also quite driven, but instead of being driven by logic, they’re often driven to do things based on their emotions. This can be a weakness, but it also makes them stronger. Once fire bending is mastered the correct way, fire benders are often very skilled at channeling and controlling these emotions. They are also brave and courageous and have a strong heart. They in the end always strive to do best and once their moral compass is pointed in a certain direction, they’ll follow it to the ends of the earth. They’re also extremely loyal, making them wonderful friends and confidants. Most of the people in this group tend to associate with fire zodiac signs, and the Gryffindor house although there’s also a large group that tends to identify as Slytherins as well. They excel obviously in leadership positions, but also specifically in law and criminal justice as their strong sense of right and wrong leads them to make the right decision most of the time. Like their opposite element benders, they share a distinct ability to teach just like water benders. They're often introverted and need time to recharge their social battery.

mannerisms/characteristics:

hating getting wet

always warm

love cardio and workouts that make you sweat a lot

strong looking (honestly most fire benders seem to have an ideal body type)

drink their coffee black un ironically without trying to be unique

can’t keep a plant alive to save their life

love summer

need good lighting to survive

surprisingly decent at cooking

don’t often procrastinate

loves cinnamon in cookies and cayenne in savory dishes

can be susceptible to fits of emotions

good in bed. (in general ;))

have obscure interests and hobbies (tea making, calligraphy, candle making, the list goes on)

Core aesthetics:

DARK ACADEMIA QUEENS/KINGS

city core

royalty core

Airbenders: Airbenders are warm, compassionate and loving. Their strong sense of detachment from life on earth make these people very different, but interesting to be around.

Personality: Airbenders come from the versatile element of air making them very versatile people themselves. They’re adaptable to change like water benders, but often these changes rely solely on creativity and not planning. Their commitment to live free of earthly detachment also makes these people very religious and spiritual people. Unlike earth benders, this detachment can often lead to indecisiveness and unsureness. Airbenders can often see pros and cons to both sides of a debate and it can be hard for them to make concrete decisions. Airbenders also don’t like confrontation or commitment, and will often choose to evade threats and sometimes even responsibility unless it’s absolutely necessary that it be dealt with. Nevertheless, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, and often times, air benders are able to deal with things in a non violent and peaceful way. They often are in a daydream, and most have big, bright ideas solely based on how much these people think. They often are kind towards everyone, and will make a point to be respectful, especially to nature and animals. They have a strong sense of who they are, and are often intuitive. They’re unique ability to create makes them gifted artists and performers, as well as spiritual and religious leaders. They can also be gifted writers and mentors to young children and students. Most are introverted, and prefer to spend time with themselves, as often times it’s the most rewarding. Most people in this category find themselves under air zodiac signs, (especially Libras) as well as the Hufflepuff house. (Although some may identify more with Ravenclaw, like Yangchen)

Mannerisms/Characteristics:

you’d expect them to be graceful, but these people are clumsy as fuck. all. the. time.

despite being clumsy, they are great dancers, and often enjoy forms of dance as exercise as well as yoga

meditate/pray a lot

certified day dreamers

immerse themselves in fantasy worlds and fandoms in general

love sweets (especially any type of sweet filling in a pie crust)

use a lot of blankets

talk really fast when excited

good with animals

love a good scented candle/incense

tea all the way

could spend HOURS cooped up in their room doing absolutely nothing

feel best during the fall season

could pack everything they need into a suitcase and leave within half an hour and not come back for months

cry at movies

will memorize and recite poetry because they want to

awkward but will honestly treat u right

good cuddlers

Core Aesthetics:

cottage core

art kid core

soft girl/boy

Chosen Hero Name: Super Soldier

Height: 5’2

Birth Parents: Shery Redwood (Mother) and General Nolan Redwood (Father)

Adoptive parent: Hizashi Yamada (Present Mic)

Sexuality: Bi

Age: 16

Birthday: August 4th

Likes: Spicy Ramen, Rock and alternative music, drawing, sweets, etc.

Disslikes: The sound of loud chewing and swallowing, when people pry for her backstory, when people insult her music, the word “Moist”, Mineta, Monoma and the U.S Military.

S/O: Midoriya

Backstory: Neev (later named Akako)’s mother died of birth complications. Leaving her alone with her father, the head general of the U.S military. He was a loving father and taught her about the army in fun, child friendly ways with games, target practice, flying in jets and sky diving. Her quirk manifested at the age of four in a horrible accident. Her father was playing “war” with her. Firing finger guns in each others directions and throwing imaginary grenades. Neev went to fake fire at her father in a playful manner when a real bullet shot from her finger. The bullet nestled in her father’s head, killing him. She ran over to him in and screamed for help. The second in command, Sir Johnson, came running in and was baffled at the sight before him. From that moment on, she was in the care (more like abuse) Sir Johnson. They trained her rigorously despite her being merely a child. As the years passed they treated her less and less as a human and more as an object. A weapon for the convenience of the military. (They didn’t even refer to her as her name, they called her “Project S.S”.) They experimented her quirk’s limits. (One example is seeing if she was bulletproof by shooting her in the side with a small 9mm hand gun), forced her to labour during the day and study weaponry until ungodly hours of the night. At the age of six years old she was the strongest weapon the U.S Military had. But she was emotionally dead. One faithful day, she found a glint if hope. She was making her way around the Pentagon (her “prison”) when she noticed an open cargo plane. She surveyed the area for witnesses. Seeing there was no one around, then she hid in the cargo plane. The hatch closed not long after, the aircraft took off and she spent several hours in the freezing belly of a plane on a flight to an unknown destination. Upon landing, she escaped into the city. Not knowing where she was in the world, she lived on the streets of (what she didn’t know was) Mustafu Japan for five weeks until she was found by Hizashi Yamada. The young girl didn’t know a word of Japanese, so she was very lucky that Mic was an English teacher. He took her home that night giving her a warm place to stay because a six year old shouldn’t be living on the streets. She explained how she got to Japan and Mic listened carefully, understanding the situation and felling remorse for her. He asked for her name and she told him she couldn’t remember her first name and that the only thing she could remember regarding her name is that her last name was Redman. It was because she was never referred to by her name. Sir Johnson and the rest of the military always called her “S.S” or “Project S.S”. After careful consideration, Mic concluded that he would raise her to learn that there is more to life than fighting, sadness and war. Since she would have to learnJapanese, he diecided it would be wise to give her a Japanese name so she could fit into society. So, staying true to her known last name, he gave her the first name Akako, meaning “Red child”. For her new last name, he saw how courageous she had been through her life and how strong she was. He gave her the last name Kimikatsu, meaning “You win”. Because even though she was in a bad place, in the end she won back her freedom. From that day on, Mic taught Akako how to use her quirk in a non-lethal manner. Having her study the use of tranquilizer guns, paintball guns, harpoons, their personal favourite confetti cannons, and many more... Her being the adopted daughter of the hero, she grew up around many of the popular heroes such as Eraser Head who taught her how to not give any fucks, Midnight who helped her with lady problems and being there when she had trouble sleeping because of nightmares (PTSD), Cementos who tutored her in school, Fat Gum who always gave the best hugs when she would be sad, Mrs. Joke who taught her how to laugh again, and even All Might, who taught her to be noble and to be confident in herself. Mic also taught her a few things. he taught her two of her most loved hobbies, music and art.

Peronality: Akako is very easy going. She is often idealistic, but realistic when she needs to be. Her peers describe her as humourous, kind, supportive, empowering, independent and creative. Her faulty traits are that she’s overly emotional, overly empathetic, impulsive, indecisive, blunt (at times), and makes SERIOUSLY grim remarks at inappropriate times (Not the Hahaha dark humour. I mean the stuff that makes you question if you’re safe around her). Also uses dark humour to cover her emotional distress (but it just makes people even more concerned). When she hangs with her friends she is a literal crackhead. She loves all her 1-A pals as if they were her own children. (She actually refers to them as “Child” or “Children” or “My babies” even though she’s younger than most of them). When it comes to her past, she doesn’t talk about it AT ALL to ANYONE (accept to two people, Deku and Todoroki).

Elaborating on her hobbies: Being raised by Hizashi Yamada got her into many rock bands. Being inspired by her adoptive father figure, she learnt as many instruments as she could. They have jam sessions together, they play all their favourite songs. She plays Bass, electric + accounting guitar, ukuele and piano + keyboard. She had always be decent at art but improved when she started admiring heroes. She would draw all her hero mentors and get her drawings signed by them (because she was like a daughter to all of them). She would plaster them all over her walls instead of buying posters because she didn’t want to waste Hizashi’s money.

A little on her PTSD: Still has nightmares. She gets flashbacks when people mention fathers dying and when she sees news on the U.S army in the newspapers or online. Flashbacks result in her isolating herself or in worst cases, panick attacks.

How she got into the hero course: Reccomendations. Having all these connections to popular heroes, you best believe that they helped her train her quirk. She ended up having 11 different heroes reccomend her for the UA hero course.

Close friends include: Dekusquad, Jirou, Mina, Kiri and Bakugou (Suprisingly).

People who dislike her: Monoma (HATES her 10x more than he hates all of 1-A combined. He can’t use her quirk if he tried to copy it because he knows NOTHING about weapons or projectiles), Kendo (Dislikes her because she thinks Akako has an unfair advantage having the heroes constantly supporting her), U.S Military (Still searching for her),

What’s in her bag?:

Dorm room:

Clothing style:

Distinctive Marks On Her Body: A bullet wound scar and lots of freckles

This is the end of Part 1

Thanks for reading

Love you PLUS ULTRA💚

Hanan is the third cure to awaken and transform into the fire-themed Cure Ember. She is the reincarnation of Ignis, The Primal Titan of Fire. She's probably the most chill and down-to-earth of the group. You can always count on her to help you with something, even if she often forgets her own wellbeing in the process. Definitely the most capable of the group, and takes over the leadership role when Ray can't (which is always tbh). Full profile under the cut!

"I want to be flames that nurture life, not flames that destroy life."

Name: Hanan Karim Age: 15 Height: 171 cm (~5' 6) Birthday: July 29th Zodiac Sign: Leo Likes: Video games, her family, action figures, anime, "so bad it's good"-movies, trading cards, lavalamps, competitions, hamburgers, onions, snakes Dislikes: Bullies, (flying) insects, being ignored, injustice, studying, losing (though won't show it), bright lights, make-up, loneliness, being helpless, bossy people Dream Voice: Janet Varney (English), Maaya Sakamoto (Japanese) Family: - Hayim Karim, father. Works as an construction worker. While often grumpy, he's a caring father and easily amused by comedic television shows. Has an awfully loud laugh which neighbours often complain about. Also very talented at repairing stuff. - Farah Karim, mother. A housewife, who often babysits children from the neighbourhood. She may seem gentle and sweet but can put her foot down when needed. - Fadil Karim, younger brother (14). A short-tempered boy who tries very hard to hide his emotional and sensitive nature. - Makeen Karim, older brother (18). Is very demure and relaxed, but don't be fooled by his humble demeanour, he's merciless when it comes to chess matches and card games. - Wasim Karim, older brother (26). Currently living on his own a few blocks away and works as a hair-stylist. He makes it his mission to visit his family at least twice a week. - Chomp, family dog. A lazy and chill basset hound who prefers to just lie down and relax. Even tends to fall asleep during walks. An earnest and helpful girl with a strong sense of justice and a caring heart. She is not afraid to speak her mind or stand up for those who need it. Hanan is quite well known around the neighbourhood and often running around helping others. Her calm, reliable and down to earth demeanor gives her a mature aura, but even she can be like a kid at times. Hanan is suprisingly competitive and finds fun in challenges and showing off her abilities and growth. She is a huge fan of action series and big monster movies, inlcuding collecting figurines and trading cards. She's also a very fast learner, being quite a natural at many stuff such as sport and art, but she tends to get bored just as easily and never really gives it her all as a result. Now, schoolwork on the other hand... Little Trivia: - Actually wears contact lenses, and uses eyedrops everyday. - Often liveblogs video games, animes, series and movies. - Has a habit of getting involved in flame-wars online. - She's pretty much the type who knows and is liked by pretty much everyone, but doesn't really have any close friends. - Is actually a natural talent at a lot of stuff, like art, dance, music but just loses interest as fast as a candle dies. It burns bright but it doesn't last forever. - Isn't all that fond of her powers at first but she slowly warms up to them (heh). - Her body temperature always seem to be very high, almost worrisome degree. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it. - Is right-handed. - Is Turkish-American and she’s the only one of the group who was born in Dawnbridge. She is fluent in Turkish though as she tends to speak it at home all the time.
