✨Angel✨

Like maybe, childhood best friend OC but childhood friend is a goddess? She's Aphrodite's younger half sister and while Aphrodite is the goddess of Love, she embodies the Bad side of it. The obsession, cheating, possession, jealousy and destructive behavior. OC embodies the Good side of Love. Emotional connection, kindness, selflessness, empathy, understanding and sacrifice. Much like Ares and Athena both represent war but different sides. Ares represents the violent, blood thirsty, and heinous side of war while Athena represents the strategy, skill, and victory aspects. But while Athena rarely would involve herself in heinous acts of war, OC often crosses the very thin line set before her at times. Being obsessed with Greek heroes but ultimately getting heartbroken again and again when she's rejected. She represents love, but she starts to believe it's not real. At least, not for her. Then the events of the first game happen and during that, she helps Kratos and begins to unsurprisingly fall in love with him. Only this time, it's different. Unbeknownst to her, he's felt the same since they were children.

She was born with fish people like features and abilities

She grew up on the flying dutchman after her mother left her on the beach for Davy to find

She still holds onto the whale toy he gave to her in childhood

She has a very good relationship with her father but has rarely spoken to her mother

As a demi-god, she holds immense power though she rarely uses it

She’s the oldest on the strawhats and holds various secrets close to her heart

One of them is that she can never age past her 20’s, her father made it so she’d never have to deal with heartbreak like he did with her mother

She however did experience heartbreak when she had to flee from the only man she would ever love, Edward Newgate

They met on Xebec’s crew, her relative

Edward had to break her and Stussy up many times because Stussy never knew how to keep her hands to herself

The woman just couldn’t except that Edward was happily taken

OC thinks of him often but is sure he’s forgotten all about her (he hasn’t. He never could)

Should they ever reunite, he’s asking her to marry him on sight and she would 100% say yes

Which is why she tries to limit her exposure or interactions with anyone even associated with him, she doesn’t trust that she wouldn’t immediately go looking for him

She has no wanted poster with her face on it for she is always facing the other way or something is blocking it (most of the time, it was Edward)

The strawhats are like her own kids as much as Edward’s crew are his

Those are her babies and Nika help whoever decides to put their hands on them

Basically adopts anyone she comes into contact with (Kidd almost slipped up and called her mom in Sabaody Archipelago)

They loved her. They always have, but what good is love, what good are your feelings when you know deep down that you can never compete with the one she chose? Still, that doesn't mean, you have to stop trying.

After Steven asks Tourmaline about her love life, The gem starts looking back at her past lovers and flings and makes a stunning discovery. She has a type

“Oooooh! And there's the buzzer Chuck! Looks like the Magmas are really starting to make the Shivers well… shiver!” Rusty exclaimed. “I think you're right Rusty! We'll be back in after halftime to see if it truly is still anyone's game!” Chuck replied as the pair watched both teams retreat to their locker rooms for halftime. “Y'all we are cooking them!!” Miles, a gorilla smirked as he chest bumped Jordan, a tiger.

“It's not gonna be long until we beat them. Let's keep doin what we doin!” Natasha added as she stretched to relieve a building soreness in her legs before sitting down near her locker and lapped from her water bowl. “It's nothing but net from now on! Ya hear?” Kevin, a Komodo Dragon replied as he too began to stretch.

“Nah. We need to make sure we don't just win. We annihilate them.” Mane suddenly spoke, making the entire team grow quiet. “We need to break them.” He then added. “Baby… we're already winning. We don't need to do allat.” Natasha said as she ran a paw up and down her boyfriend’s chest. An act that usually calmed him down, but in this moment it irritated him further.

“You need to worry about not being so slow out there and actually score points instead of doin whatever it is you doin on the outside. Get in the game and get out yo head.” Mane growled before pushing Natasha away from him and stormed out of the locker room, leaving the confused and heartbroken cheetah behind. He had never spoken to her like that before. Sure he got frustrated during games. They all did. But he never went as far as to take it out on anyone. Especially not her. She was his girl. His baby…Right?

During the second half of the game, Natasha wasn't so sure. He did nothing but yell and berate her for being ‘Too damn slow’. But as she and everyone else saw it, she was going as fast as she could go. Any faster, she could hurt herself AND her fellow roarball players. She wasn't about to take that risk. It was now the fourth quarter and Mane continued to push Natasha to increase her speed. As the shot clock counted down and burnout was imminent, Natasha had attempted a pass to one of her teammates, only to faint at the last minute and crash into the ground mid pass.

“Natasha!” A voice shouted. She so dearly wanted it to be Mane’s voice, but at the end of the day, she knew it wasn’t. By the time she came to, the mammal by her bedside was the owner of the team. None of her teammates or her boyfriend. “That was quite the scene, ya know. Had me on the edge of my seat.” The eagle smirked as he scrolled through his phone. “Good thing Mane picked up your slack, otherwise your little episode would have cost us the game.”

Natasha’s ears flattened against her skull as the tv in the medical wing replayed Mane’s winning shot over and over. Jumping over her unconscious body all to win a game. It made her sick to see he barely cared for her well being. “Look here doll, I run a tight ship, you feel me? I can’t have a player who faints during games.”

“I wouldn’t have passed out if Mane wasn’t pushing me to use my speed past my limit! Cheetahs aren’t mindless-” “Yea Yea, but have you ever really been more than just your speed? You used to be a beast on the court! You used to scare our opponents! Now you’re nothing more than a soft little kitten. I don’t keep that kind of company.” The owner replied cutting Natasha off before tossing a contract onto her lap.

“As of today, you are no longer a Lava Coast Magma. You’re now a Vineland Thorn. Congrats sweetheart! You’ll fit in just well. After all, you’ll be with your kind! Has-beens.” As the owner left the room, Natasha could feel the tears build, no matter how much she tried to fight them.

‘Mane! Mane! How do you feel about Natasha being traded to the Vineland Thorns?!’ Natasha’s ears perked up as the TV played an interview of Mane. “I have nothing to say. Natasha is washed up. She just doesn’t have anything more left to offer. So she’s going to a team where they specialize in just the kind of category she’s in. Mediocrity.” Natasha could barely hear anymore before throwing the remote at the TV shattering the glass on impact. A testament to just how much fight she had left in her. Sadly, none of her team would get to see it.

The very next day, Natasha was on a plane to Vineland. As she landed, she couldn’t help but marvel at the scenery. All of the times she had come to play at the greenhouse, she never once took the time to admire the city she was playing against. “Was it always this beautiful?” She whispered as she descended on the escalator.

“Miss?” Natasha quickly turned her head to the alligator dressed in a black suit. “This way Miss Saunders. I’m your driver Peter. I’ll be taking these.” He replied as he took her bags. “Oh you really don’t have to. It’s no trouble.” Natasha replied back. “Oh but I do. Not only is it my job, you are still on the list as injured.” He said as he led her to the sleek black car and opened the trunk placing her bags inside.

“Please ma’am, allow me.” Peter smiled as he opened the door for Natasha to get in. “Why are you being so nice to me?” She asked as she climbed in the car. “There are many reasons Miss. My job, basic manners, respect, etc. the list goes on.” Peter replied as he went around the car to climb in and start the vehicle.

For Natasha, being in arranged marriage was bad enough. And being married into the Zenin clan was even worse. But the absolute worst possible thing was being married to that little butt munch Naoya. He preached about women needing to serve their men and produce heirs, but absolutely refused to touch his own wife. And the clan was getting fed up with his excuses. One way or another, that woman needed to give birth to a child. And with the most potent Zenin men eye fucking her every chance they got, it wouldn't be too long until she was round with the next heir to the Zenin clan (Toji is still in the clan in this)
