Y/n had always lived in the shadow of her father, Crimson. Growing up in the mafia meant her life was never ordinary—she was surrounded by violence, intimidation, and manipulation. Crimson wasn't just a father; he was a mafia boss, and that meant he ruled his family with the same iron fist he used to command his underlings. Y/n learned to survive by suppressing her emotions and doing whatever it took to stay on his good side. But even that wasn't enough. Crimson had impossible expectations, especially of his children.
Moxxie, her younger brother, had escaped early. He got away from Crimson's grip and found his way to IMP (Immediate Murder Professionals), the contract-killing company in Hell. Y/n, on the other hand, had remained behind, tangled in Crimson's web much longer, unable to break free until the damage was nearly irreparable.
The trauma lingered long after Y/n managed to leave her father's world. She fled to a new city far from the life she once knew, leaving behind not only her father but the wreckage of her own mind. She had to start over—rebuild herself piece by piece. The memories of her father's cruelty still haunted her. His controlling nature, the times he'd forced her into dangerous situations to "prove her loyalty," and the countless times he'd put his mafia empire above being her father left deep emotional scars.
Y/n carried that baggage as she found a job at IMP. Reconnecting with her brother, Moxxie, was bittersweet. He had built a life there, working under Blitzo and finding a sense of belonging. He had a new family in IMP, and while it was dysfunctional, it was healthier than anything they had known with Crimson. But for Y/n, adjusting to this life was difficult. The idea of finding a family again, especially after what Crimson had put her through, seemed impossible.
At first, she led a small team within IMP, taking on assignments, guiding others in the chaotic world of Hell's contract killing business. She had learned to lead from her father—though she used his lessons more compassionately. Y/n made sure to protect those who worked with her, something Crimson had never done. As a leader, she often struggled with trust, afraid that getting too close to her team would open her up to betrayal, like the many betrayals her father had orchestrated.
Yet, over time, the walls she had built began to crumble. Moxxie, despite his own traumas, was her anchor. Their bond strengthened as they shared stories of their past and leaned on each other for support. It was through Moxxie that Y/n met her soulmate—someone who saw beyond the facade she had created, someone who understood her without needing words. Slowly, Y/n found herself opening up in ways she hadn't thought possible. She began to trust again, realizing that not everyone was like her father. The team at IMP, chaotic and unconventional as they were, became the family she never had.
Blitzo, the head of IMP, was an enigma to her at first. He was brash and bold, but Y/n quickly saw through his bravado. He was hurting, too—maybe not in the same way, but there was a shared sense of loneliness and trauma between them. They didn't always get along, but there was a mutual respect, especially when it came to the work they did. Blitzo understood her need for control and independence, but he also pushed her to let people in.
Over time, Y/n realized that she didn't have to carry the weight of her past alone. She wasn't the scared girl running from her father anymore. She was strong, capable, and surrounded by people who cared for her—not out of fear, but out of genuine affection. Moxxie reminded her every day that family wasn't always the people you were born into; sometimes, it was the people who stood by you when you needed it most.
Though the scars of her childhood with Crimson would never fully heal, Y/n found a way to move forward. She wasn't defined by her trauma anymore; instead, she used it to fuel her strength, becoming a leader who inspired those around her. She had escaped the darkness of her father's world, finding light in the most unlikely of places—Hell, of all places. And for the first time in her life, Y/n wasn't just surviving; she was thriving.
