BLOODY WRAITH.

Begat from from the womb of Aphrodite, the seed of a soldier, and the blood of Ares, Minami, the younger of a pair of twins, was born in abnormal circumstances and became an abnormality herself. Closer to divinity than others on account of having two godly parents, yet restrained by her mortal heritage, she was more akin to a nymph than the likes of Aeneas and Achilles. She was the embodiment of (the fear of) poisons and weaponised fire. As such, although still vulnerable to normal wounds, she would never age or succumb to illness so long as her domain remained strong. As a result of being their incarnate, her very blood itself was poisonous, as well as flammable upon will; with the invention and consequent fear of Greek fire, her blood mimicked its trait of being inextinguishable by water. The deadly nature of her blood was, in itself, was a bastardisation of how ichor was made toxic to mortals through the consumption of ambrosia.

Her twin sister, Kiseki, was violated and murdered by Hephaestus, her mother’s husband, as punishment for Aphrodite’s unfaithfulness. Minami turned lead and mercury poisonous in retribution, permanently tormenting his patronage of smiths, craftsmen, metalworking, and stonemasonry with morbi metallici. She takes every opportunity to spite him.

Her human father died while she was an infant, and she gives no particular thought to him, having being raised by various nymphs and members of her mother’s retinue instead. On the other hand, she greatly adores Aphrodite and her lord father Ares, often accompanying him into battle alongside Deimos and Phobos, of whom she is well beloved and often courted by. She takes her divine parents’ sides in all matters where her support can be given, and defends their honour zealously; once, she went so far as to terrorise an entire city-state through routine poisoning of their wells, pipes, lakes, animals and even the local ecosystem with her blood, all due to the proclamation their Queen was more beautiful than Aphrodite, only ceasing once the Queen was publicly maimed.

Minami seeds violence wherever she travels in order to nurture her influence; partly out of sheer sadism and delight in warfare, partly to strengthen her powers. Having seen how easily her older sister was overcome and slain, knowing that she most likely will never be granted immortality, she greatly fears being subjugated in the same manner, and so seeks to make herself a more formidable foe. The only way to do this is through making her mortal kin more and more afraid of poisons and fire. She also uses the incredible beauty inherited from Aphrodite to her advantage, charming many women and men alike.

Percy Jackson AU: 

As time progressed, her dominion expanded into the fear of chemical weapons and bombs. Her blood remains poisonous, and is capable of being exploded in addition to ignited. She had a rather large hand in escalating the the Cold War. 

She is now capable of vitakinesis; she can heal minor injuries (although they leave scars), and regenerate small amounts of flesh, such as fingers. Doing so requires energy, leaving her as vulnerable as a normal human while tired. She possesses many abilities of both her divine parents’ demigod children, but is not usually said to be a true demigod herself, although, even now, her classification remains a matter of debate; she is considered a minor goddess or a daimon to most.

Minami has many lavish apartments in many cities, which she prefers over her residence in Olympus as they’re more convenient, seeing how often she travels on errands for her godly parents or to stir up trouble. She can often be found indulging in food tourism, operas, poison taste testing, or attending live demolitions.

She still despises Hephaestus for what he did to her sister, and goes out of her way to flaunt her parentage and disrupt his plans.

She has / is dating the twins Deimos and Phobos, but only in bursts; not even the gods of fear and terror can hope to keep her in place for long. Seeing as she both needs to earn her immortality and enjoy her possibly limited life, Minami runs from one interest to the next, with little care for what destruction or longing lovers she leaves behind. She always makes up for her absences the next time, though.

013. Have they ever been bullied or teased?   ———   @taishaa​.

Yes, for a short while in Minami’s early childhood. She was the easiest target; overly quiet with a stammer, a limited vocabulary, the worst at academics, smaller than the rest, and visibly neglected. The bullying consisted of things such as rock throwing and verbal abuse, among other things. Their environment was one that fostered violence. 

It lasted all of two weeks before the class learnt their lesson and the smart ones kept away, seeing as Minami retaliated the moment she felt threatened    ———   and she was always worse. Even pulling her hair was an offence that guaranteed you a stab wound with whatever kiddy scissors she could get her hands on.

❝   what would you be, if you could be anything?   ❞     ———   @fireblight​.

Karin’s saintly touch may have worked wonders opening others for dissection, but Minami is not another    ———   she is the Other. Her pages were not as easy to discern, more bleeding ink and missing chapters than the potboiler novels found in most. It is almost comedic to behold; seeing such a generic, inviting piece of conversational bait turned to mush between her grinding teeth. A childish sensitivity aroused by a childish sentiment.

What would you be, if you could be anything? Within those words, the implication   :   you are not welcome here   /   you are weak   /   and you can not get what you want, not unless you are blessed.

Minami was a perfect shinobi; there was no role in the world for her but here, no place she fit so well as the Akatsuki’s repertoire. It was obvious. Why would the girl dare ask otherwise if not for the sake of contempt? Did she think her unfitting? Did she think her forced into this sheath, as if she was a breed of coward so spineless she would allow her lessers to command her? Did she think her helpless enough to not leave if she desired?    ———   A sigh, coloured by exhaustion.

God, I hate teenagers. They always treat missions like sleepovers.

❝   Right now? Your murderer. Ha ha ha. Now piss off. I’m not a babysitter for you Taka fucks.   ❞

❛  i left something upstairs for you, baby.  ❜ :)    ———   @xfthemist​.

With those words comes a vestigial understanding, coaxed out like a leech turned homemaker. There is the itch of remembrance; punchlines from whatever late night television she tuned out during sleep, the echo of her own mocking imitations, turning from faint to sour with every moment that passed. Minami did not enjoy being ridiculed. Never had a slight   (   her critics would insert a perceived there, but she knew     ———   she always knew!     ———   ridicule when she fucking saw it   )   in her life gone unpunished, and that was exactly what the huntress intended. 

I see what you’re doing, bitch, she thought, real funny.
