She was born Octavia.
They renamed her Krystal.
And for a long time... she forgot she was ever anything else.
Octavia's childhood was stolen from her the moment she was abducted and sold into the dark underbelly of a human trafficking ring. For nearly a decade, she lived under a name that wasn't hers, subjected to the horrors of control, exploitation, and isolation. But at sixteen, the fire inside her refused to die. In a desperate act of defiance, Octavia escaped - broken, scarred, and utterly alone.
She fled as far as she could, ending up in Japan with no money, no shelter, and no voice left to cry with. One day, starving and barefoot, she stole a piece of bread from a vendor and ran like hell - right into the quiet, sharp-eyed boy named Megumi Fushiguro.
But Megumi isn't just any teenager. He's a jujutsu sorcerer-in-training - someone who has seen his share of curses, loss, and buried pain. And in Octavia, he sees something he can't ignore: a person not just haunted by trauma, but possibly tethered to a darkness deeper than anything the jujutsu world has prepared for.
As Octavia struggles to build a life in the wreckage of her past, the lingering effects of her trauma threaten to consume her - until she's drawn into the world of jujutsu itself. What if her suffering, her scars, and even the curse-like aura that clings to her... are more than just metaphor?
What if she was cursed long before she ever escaped?
And what if fighting alongside Megumi and the others is the only way to reclaim the light they tried to take from her?
