At just fifteen, Elio Deren was cast onto the streets, blamed for a crime she didn't commit-the murder of her own sister. The real culprit? Her younger brother.
Betrayed and abandoned, Elio's life spiraled into darkness. Forced to survive at any cost, she lost touch with her humanity, becoming a person that would do anything to survive in this hell filled world.
Years later, she decided to take a leap of faith. YUI-an organization built from the ground up-was meant to be a haven for misfits like her. But it became something far greater. It birthed the Identity Changer, the most revolutionary device in existence. With it, Elio erased herself and stepped into a new life, disguising herself as a man, determined to leave her past behind completely.
But the past doesn't let go so easily.
When an unexpected figure from her history resurfaces, Elio's carefully crafted illusion begins to falter. With enemies closing in and secrets unraveling, she must ask herself: Can she outplay the game of deception, or will her mask slip... exposing the truth she's fought so hard to bury?

Sorry, You're An Idiot (And So Is My Sister)
💔 She lost everything to her sister once. This time, she's not giving it up. ✨ Sorry, You're An Idiot (And So Is My Sister) ✨ A spin-off of Sorry, I'm An Idiot (And You're My Wife) - full of family drama, messy romance, betrayal, and the revenge glow-up you didn't know you needed. Update: New covers are dropping soon, and I can't wait for you to see them. Now, onto the "AI" comments. Let me be crystal clear: I write every word myself. If you think a robot could pull off juggling school runs, lesson planning, late-night coffee binges, Wattpad updates at ungodly hours, and still slip in sarcasm that cuts deep - you're giving AI way too much credit. I'll take your accusations as a backhanded compliment. If my writing feels "too good" to be human, then maybe that just means I'm doing something right. ✨Complete

But will these revelations tear them apart, or bring them closer than ever? Will their paths diverge again, or will they intertwine?Complete
Reborn
For years, I thought my island was my prison- and my refuge. Then a shipwreck tore open its silence, bringing people who didn't belong... and one who belonged to my story more than I ever could have guessed.

I am Elena, and this is the story of how a single crash set everything in motion: my past, my present, the cycle that refuses to let me go... and what it means to finally belong. But somethings... they're always bound to repeat itself. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE SHOW OR THE GAMES TO READ THIS STORY! Everything should be clear enough for you to understand without knowing anything. Elena is my OC. The story weaves her personal struggles, her past, and her developing relationships into the canon events of Wakfu, staying faithful to the Brotherhood's established personalities while letting them naturally grow through Elena's presence. Also, I've expanded a lot on said plot and added a ton of lore. Please enjoy the story!

She Chose Herself
Elia never expected to be noticed, especially not by Aiden, her best friend's tall, charming, too-good-to-be-true boyfriend.

Rebirth of the Broken Villainess
She loved him with everything she had-her time, her heart, her dignity. But the male lead never loved her back. In the end, she lost her family, her future, and her life... all because of that love. But fate gave her a second chance. Now back in her second year of college, she's done chasing love. No more following him around campus. No more gifts, no more tears. This time, she chooses herself. When classmates mock her for no longer loving the male lead, she doesn't hide-she stands on stage at a college event and apologizes for everything: her past behavior, her mistakes, and the chaos she caused. The next day, her apology video spreads across campus-and the girl once known as the foolish villainess starts to rewrite her story. She's not here to win hearts anymore. She's here to become someone worth being proud of. Let me know if you want a dramatic one-liner tagline too, like: "She chased love once. This time, she'll chase her future." or "From villainess to healer-her story has just begun."Complete
