Avalon Muramasa

Bio

Born into fame, Wealth, honor, and happiness, one would think Avalon was a spoiled brat or a haughty noble. However, she wasn't any of that. She became known for her strength, her kindness towards others, her charm, and her intelligence, Quickly becoming a favorite among her tutors as well as her family, leading to her Being named heir at the age of 8 just four years after her younger sister was born...
Things however would take a darker turn as the family had begun to decline due to deaths and failed Hunts and a war with the voidsent. As time progressed, Avalon and her baby sister Kassandra had watched friends and other family members from the branch families disappear and hear of their deaths to the voidsent. She would watch as the once proud clan would be wittled down to just remnants of the main family line. As things seemed to be just on the brink of collapse, all at once the killings had stopped and the misfortune seemed to end. Later Avalon would find out that her mother and father had offered her up to a powerful voidsent in exchange for peace and prosperity for the clan once more. However, as Avalon neared the age of 18, her parents would begin to regret their choice out of love for both their children and tried to hide Avalon from the voidsent.
The voidsent would laugh at this and see it as a game, placing a curse on the family, one which would kill her parents just before Avalons 20th birthday. Now on their own with very few servants and help left, and even less money, the two sisters would make their way to Eorzea to begin anew, seeking a cure from the curse and a way to kill the powerful voidsent that stalked them from the shadows, as well as a way to rebuild their once proud clan back to what it was long ago. As time progressed So did the curse on the family, as well as them discovering the different effects the curse had as they got older, Such as their hair turning slowly white, or the loss of eyesight in one eye and strange markings showing up, To the loss of stamina and sickness as well. However unknown or perhaps unsaid by Kassandra, Avalon's personality had begun to change, though only those who have been around her long enough would notice the change. Avalon did what she could to hide her now warping morals and personality, while trying to figure out if it was near to her death or something far worse.

• A Dream?

A Dream?No...A nightmare.

Avalon had clearly remembered falling asleep yet here she was standing in this endless dark space...Ah a dream a memory. This is what this is....Avalon walked through the seemingly unending darkness towards a flickering light...that light was the candle light that she remembered on the day her family made a pact with the voidsent...she remembered oh so clearly how much her mother truely hated her and how her father was always torn and seemed to drive her to perfection and how they abused her and tried to fill her with all the pain they could...and it was because of this moment...this moment...........She watches On.............The night was cold. Chains bound Avalons wrists in cold iron. She was the families ideal vessel of perfection and to them she wasn’t living up to it. Lashings weren’t enough in their eyes as they didn’t work before. Avalon tried her best again and again. She surpassed all she could. She read every book, studied every weakness and practiced every martial art passed down to her but it was not enough. Her saving grace was her wolf companion. He was just a pup she found during her training and she couldn’t help but take him in. A lost pup with scars and markings of his own. The pup was held before her by his throat. Squirming unbearably before her eyes as she repeated many times. “I should have known better, I should have known better, I should have.. known better!” That allowing her to have such a companion was just going to be a tool to use against her in their twisted scheme of perfection above all...Her poor puppy was held out by her mother for her to see his battered body clearly shown in the candle light.
Avalon was shocked that he didn’t struggle after some time until she pieced together the details. They often grounded her from him and this time it was longer than usual and under the glimmering candle light she sees his skin over his bones. He must be starved she thought, and she wished she never brought him here. She thought to herself “maybe it was a mistake. To want something for myself. Just. Once.” Avalon's mother raised her voice “if I have to say the word to describe you one more time I will do worse than this Avalon. But I will for a reminder. You must be Perfect! The entire muramasa family is depending on your success don’t you see?!”. The dim moonlight reflects off a knifes edge to Avalons already exhausted pup. Avalon rattled against her chains as the knife grew closer. Her mothers cracked eyes and long twisted smile burned into her memory as the blade drew crimson. A quiet wimper of exhaustion then a thump on the floor. Avalons pup laid dead. The candle light cast a shadow and that shadow appeared along the walls depicting that same horrid smile. A smile of satisfaction of some other being enjoying its preys despair made itself present. Avalons mothers expression showed her it was real and in that moment before she knew it, Avalon felt her wrists cut. Blood drawn as she was stunned by the scene until it was too late. Not that there was any choice in matter anyways…
Avalon laid on her knees staring at her pup bleed out and pour along the kugane style floor. She didn’t care her wrists bled. All she wanted was the support of someone and she remembered the bright eyes of her pup and the smile of getting treats and. And the rest. Her father walked to the forefront with some being. Something like what was reflected on the walls. “She will do perfectly and you all performed well! The finest aether is always soaked in despair!” And if that didn’t concern her enough her mother chimed in “it’s just what she deserves, it was no performance..”. The father reluctantly agrees.. “yes .. it was no performance..”.Avalon would wake from this dream at this moment everytime just before the full pact was made just before that thing branded her chest with its mark...She held out her hand above her and stared at it...just how many more times would she see this dream...how many more times must she relive all the pain.
