Luna Eclipses Aeliana is like a black cat who enjoys free roaming the city at night. She traverses with a sort of grim outlook on life, but with small shimmers of hope mixed within. She wishes for a normal life with her family, but that will never happen. Her body is cut and bruised, to the point someone might think she fought a big dog or street cat, maybe even both. Training with her father was worse than going to hell, and that's saying something.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid! Now he thinks I'm a weak brat who can't do anything right." Luna smacks the side of her head with the palm of her hand, annoyed at her own display of weakness she showed her father.


❤️ "Come on, Aeliana! I know you can do better than that!" Luna's father yells, venom laced in his voice. The teen shakily stands up but cries out as she stumbles back down. ❤️ "Really?! Is this how you repay me?! After everything I've done for you, you can't even do simple training right!" "I- I'm sorry! I'm trying my best!" ❤️ "This is your best?!" The flaming man stomps closer while gesturing to Luna's trembling form. ❤️ "You'll die in a heartbeat to any low-grade villain!" He snarls as he grabs her by the throat, squeezing the air out of her lungs. ❤️ "Try again!" "Y-yes, sir!" ❤️ "Stop stuttering, damnit! Heroes don't stutter!" Luna stands on wobbly legs while swallowing the thick saliva in her mouth. Her heart aches as she watches the man she trusted the most, glare at her as if he wished she were dead. Why is that? Is it because she's better than him? Is it because he hates her in general? Or is it because she looks and acts just like her mother? Probably the latter in this situation.

Luna is the spitting image of her mother: Smaller stature, black hair, shimmering blue eyes, or in Luna's case, one blue eye. They both have a sharp tongue and bratty attitude, as well as a quick mind and mischievous smile. That's why Haruto Aeliana fell in love with Selene Tsukino, and they eventually had Luna Eclipsis Aeliana. The perfect mix between sun and moon. So why did her father cheat on her mother with her aunt, who is considered 'the goddess of the stars'? No one really knows. Not even Haruto himself. All Luna knows, is that she has a messed up family.

❤️ "Get your head out of the clouds and focus!" "S-sorry!" This is gonna be a long day.


"Why won't Toshinori answer?!" Luna growls as she travels down a dimly lit street. That's never scared her before, rather, it thrills her to be in dangerous situations. Especially since adrenaline from training is still coursing through her veins. The teen sighs and sniffles, wiping her puffy eyes as she continues going nowhere. She doesn't have a destination in mind, merely a need to get as far away from her father as possible.

Luna sighs again before grabbing her phone, noticing she hasn't bothered a certain hero in a while. A small smile covers her lips as she recalls their last encounter. They really opened up to each other, and it felt nice. But it was only temporary, like everything else in this world.
