We are not what happens to us. We are what we choose to become.
Akira was never meant to survive, but she did. Again and again. After surviving the unthinkable, she rises from the ashes of her childhood with a smile and a determination that no one will ever have to endure the horrors she has witnessed and experienced.
Haunted by trauma yet guided by passion, Akira is the heart and soul of everyone she has loved and lost. From her adopted brother who has never stepped out of her corner to her sleep deprived mentor who found his own redemption through her to the little boy who showed her that she was also worthy of being saved, she is reminded that being a hero-like being a human-isn't about never failing, it's about choosing to rise...again and again.
But before she was ever a hero, she was a survivor.

•Black Sheep• || The Devil is a Part Timer || Urushihara / Lucifer
"Definition of 'Black Sheep': a disfavored or disreputable member of a group. A black sheep stands out from the rest of the flock." • Leaving Ente Isla when Satan himself had retreated, just like her mother had warned her, what was an abominable, unknown creature to do? Where was she to go? Why was she hidden away since she was born? Why is it that she never feels safe anywhere? Well...At least until she stumbles upon the inhabitants of a certain one room, six tatami mat, second floor apartment in Sasazuka, Japan. Aiko Yamagishi is the name she adopted on Earth. And she is (unknowingly) on the run. To hide away, and not have either side of the century long war find her. At least that was the initial goal. It seems a few demons have changed those plans. • "My mother was my home. It was with her that I felt safe. That I was warm, comforted, happy...That's something you never had, was it, Hara? You never found that place to call home. Because all this time, it was never a place you needed...But instead, a person." Lucifer/Urushihara x OCComplete
The Sister
After one of her villagers had been shot by an arrow, the Lord of the village Pheonix Drop reached out to an old friend. Y/n was the sister of Aphmau, and she had been on her quest to explore the world when she heard from her sister. Y/n isn't a saint, by all means, but is more than helpful for her sister. Having explored the world for the past half-year, she has had her run-ins with...less favorable people. Now that the two sisters have reunited they swore to protect the village. The past isn't so forgiving, however, it comes back to haunt those who've abandoned it. ~Not gonna lie I really suck at descriptions. I promise my writing is way better than what I've written here, or at least I hope it is. I know there's a lot of controversy around Aphmau's name now that we are all old enough to realize what's right and what's wrong. I promise to try and get rid of those in this fanfic. Have fun reading! Aphmau's storyline and characters do not belong to me!
