    She wasn't the brightest witch at Hogwarts. She wasn't the most famous. Most students barely noticed the quiet Gryffindor who disappeared after classes with dirt beneath her fingernails and pressed flowers tucked between the pages of her notebooks. Draco Malfoy certainly didn't. Until one night, he followed her beyond the castle walls. Hidden behind an ordinary flower shop lies Komorebi Blooms-a sanctuary protected by ancient Japanese magic, where paper lanterns never burn out, camellias bloom beneath enchanted moons, and four noble clans have safeguarded secrets the British wizarding world has long forgotten. As Voldemort's grip tightens and Draco's mission draws ever closer, the last thing he expects is to entrust his mind-and perhaps his life-to the one person he was taught never to trust. Some wars are won by strength. Others... by the people who stand quietly behind it

    Status: Ongoing In an age where humans and spirits, both good and bad, live in the same world there was an evil demon known as Okakura Shirogai. He had great power that he would use to try and conquer both spirits and humans and force them under his rule. The powerless humans could not fight for themselves so they prayed to the many gods they worshipped to protect them. Their prayers were answered by angels, animal spirits and other beings of divine benevolence. The greatest amongst them were the Five Guardian Yakshas, gifted with the ability to control the elements of water, earth, fire, wind, and lightning. They were the ones who fought Okakura himself. However even with their amazing powers the Yakshas still couldn't bring Okakura down. In the end the last yaksha standing was the Lightning Yaksha. Weakened by his injuries he stood no chance until a strange spirit enveloped in both light and darkness offered him a unique mask filled with the power of pure lightning. He accepted the mask in exchange for his benevolence After donning the mask his power amplified and with a single dashing strike faster than a blink of an eye, he cleaved Okakura in half. With his remaining life force Okakura cursed all the Yakshas to an end filled with suffering. The yakshas died one by one until the Lightning Yaksha was the only one alive. He hunted down the remnants of Okakura's force continuing to don the mask for power to exterminate the remaining demons. However the more he slayed the more eternal strife he accumulated. When he had slayed the remaining demons on the earth he lived a isolated life, deep in a dark forest. His name as the Lightning Yaksha faded over the many thousand years his identity faded as people forgot him and he became known instead as the Blue Shadow, a unknown spirit who walked the woods without purpose.

    If we have an oc, wouldn't it be cool of we also write the back story? And I love writing anyway, so this back story might turn into a new novel in the future 😆 *English is not my native language, I apologize in advance if there are any grammatically errors 🙏 **Since it's an OC story, it is based on Genshin Impact in-game stories and lores, I might put in some theory and the story may change in the future! 🥰

    Yōkai and Humans. Spirits and Demons. Ghosts and creatures of old. They all exist, under many different names. They live in solitude, and sometimes small groups, only interacting with humans when they have to, or when they need to feed. They are more frightened of us than them, after all. Yet there is a phenomenon among all yōkai. The ability to attach themselves to a single mortal soul that they resonate with. Because if you don't give someone the love and compassion they deserve, a yōkai will do it for you.
