Well, I guess it all started with her.
And, I suppose it'll all probably end with her.
She had a name once, her parents choose it.
But when they died, so did the name she was given.
It's been many, many years now. And now, not even she remember her old name.
But being nameless can be a disadvantage, other people can fill in the gaps.
""Bitch", "Evil", "Unwanted", "Monster", "Cursed" "Demonic"
"...Murderer".
They did suit her well, and with that little thought she smirked darkly.
As she walked through some unknown woods, she muttered to herself and absently started to rub her arm again.
"ßæçrįfįçę įß ßürvįvæł".
"dįßgüßt dęfįńęß æ pęßøń".
"før thę thįęvęß".
"Łøvę, døęß ńøt ęxįßt".
"hætę įß ŵhæt ŵę fęęd øń".
"pæįń įß æ łęßßøń".
"mürdęr įß męrçŷ".
Even now, this had become a kind of mantra for her.
Spoken in a mix of Demon, and Mortal.
Humans may not understand all that she says, but from the little they do understand, is enough to make them steer clear.
Just like a bad penny, her luck keeps running out ...and not always in a threatening sense, more often a harsh reminder.
A child she saved once asked her, "Will you tell me your name?, so that I can thank you formally?" She stood up from a crouch, still in front of the little girl and went to turn away, but the little girl grabbed her sleeve and tugged.
She turned to look at the little girl and merely said, "...yoú maŷ aß welł thank æ random luckŷ black cat, thę namę that waß oncę minę iß older thań thę creatioń of thę verŷ first Religioń.
And Į havę long sincę forgotteń it.

"Why don't you remember?"
She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Old agę, bad memorŷ".
"Aren't you lonely..?"
"Alwayß.
...But theń agaiń.
