Artemis' Diary

And I finally posted a few chapters of hers lore! I'll leave you the link and this image!

— That was a terrible comparison for who we are! — she chuckled weakly, trying to catch her breath, even though her chest still ached. — But...! —

— Keep it on and don't argue — he interrupted with a mutter, his brusqueness merely a mask for his anxiety. — That cloak will act as a shield; it should work the same way it does with dimensional rifts in your case... Now, try to breathe slowly. And if you feel like passing out, just hold onto me, okay? —

⚜️ Cleo

For Cleo I imagined something strong!

[𝐼 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛… 𝑠ℎ𝑒’𝑠 𝑎𝑛 𝐴𝑟𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡. 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑙𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑦 𝑠𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡?~]

The main palette is black and white, with hand-embroidered golden details. I even made a special brooch for the gala, set with small red gems the same shade as her hair. Also… those giant boots? Gone! Tonight I want to see her in a proper pair of heels.

[𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐤𝟏𝐥² 𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬.]

So yes, elegance matters…but let’s also remind everyone who really rules the dueling arena. ✨

🌌 Nova

Nova’s dress features small gathered sleeves connected to an elegant boat neckline, with a midnight-blue bodice and delicate side lacing.

The short balloon skirt is made of chiffon fading from deep blue into pale yellow. The skirt is framed by two long midnight-blue tulle veils that fall behind like twin comet tails, gradually fading into pale yellow.

And yes… I embroidered golden constellations across the veils. ~

🦋 Amina

For Ami I went with something more classic and regal: a violet silk qipao. And yes… Shark’s colors may have inspired me a little 🦈

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑘 𝑔𝑜𝑑𝑠, 𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠.]

The silk is embroidered with silver butterflies on the left side of the chest and along the length of the skirt.

I added a polished silver ribbon at the waist, simple but elegant, to balance the silhouette.

Let her shine… with the grace of a queen ~

Worked on the sketches all night again… now it’s time to bring them to life. 💪 The gala is getting closer, and there’s no way I’m not going to spoil my friends a little. ✨

☄️ Hoshiko

For Hoshi-chan I designed an elegant jumpsuit with asymmetrical sleeves. One sleeve is white, the other made of organza.

The main fabric is semi-transparent gradient organza, shimmering like the night sky slowly dissolving into dawn, dusted with tiny sparkles like stars.

When she moves, the effect is like the tail of a comet gliding through the dark, still shining the whole way.

Name: Altaïr (also called: α Aquilae)

Nicknames: "The First Galaxy-Eyes Master"; "The Lost King"; "The Fallen Astral"

Age: 3000+

Race: Astral

Relatives: Astral Deity (his father), Eliphas (his twin brother); Ena (his twin sister); Astral (his youngest brother); Vega (his lil sister in her human past);

"Don't fool yourself, Vega, you'll never be able to defeat me. Look at you, letting Alit protect you just like a child!" (In the final Battle)

Vega's my second OC from Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal (Season II)

Her origins are Astral, she's the daughter of the Astral deity but following her wish and wanting to save "the human souls of seven stars from the darkness" she incarnates as a human and several times tries to prevent the darkness from completely taking over the souls of the seven (from this the Mithyrian Numbers are created by the deity as Astral's part)

[in the pic she looks like herself in Alit's past and also in Astral form, a priestess of a local goddess.]

During the second season, he takes on a human form and joins Yuma, Rio, Shark and the others; crossing paths with Vector but also Alit, with whom he will bond since he discovers his ties with a "lost past". Of course she doesn't recognize him at first and he has a vague memory of a girl who looks like her. Yet, the two become friends.

During the arc of the Seven Barian Emperors' descent into the human world, Vector notices Alit's behavior (after having followed him over and over again) will attack the girl while the others duel with Yuma's allies and, he'll defeat her when Alit reaches her and reveals the young woman's Astral identity to his Barian companion. From here, thanks to the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, her entire story arises in a new battle for the Barian Empereors...

I missed day 6 yesterday, so I decided to make it up today. If I remember correctly, the topic on Astrals and Barians was missing, right? @zexalocsweeek

So can I finally reveal Amira's secret to you? Oh, good.

Well, Amira comes into contact with the Astral energy and her healing powers come from that, in fact, both Kaito and Haruto seem to benefit from it more, even though it can be applied to anyone who suffers damage related to the use of external powers. (So then you're telling me it could cure Byron? Not exactly, since it's a corrupted body.)

At first we see her calmly seeing Astral, but at the same time Vector also plays with her, when he has control on her father. Later in Zexal II, she is the first to accept that Rio is actually a Barian and in fact, it seems she had already guessed it from her strange moments of absence earlier during the Mithyrian Numbers arc, but she keeps quiet for their own good.

But then, what is the secret?

Amira appears in another story of mine, but not as a human, just as Astral or rather, an Astral incarnation.

Below is the excerpt (from Vega's story):

“She’s a beautiful girl, or am I wrong, boy?” he whispered with a slight smirk on his face. “And her eyes are truly a sight to behold.”

“I-I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Kaito said, averting his gaze. “I was just… thinking.”

"You'd better be very careful what your eyes see of this world," the incarnation of the old dragon whispered again.

“You don’t mind if we start now, do you, Mira?” Vega said, smiling.

"Not at all..." she smiled in turn and approaching Kaito, the blue-haired girl held out her right hand, where, between her fingers, she held a card; when he looked up at her, looking into her eyes for a moment his lips parted without speaking, as if the innocent smile she had shown him in that moment had silenced him. Or was it really the warning Jinlon had left him earlier? "I'm sure it'll protect you more than you think. I believe in you..."

In this scene Jinlong talks about the girl's eyes, while Vega calls her "Mira" as short name... Moreover, she herself seems very sure that Galaxy Eyes will protect him. But look what happens next, At the end of the duel, Amira and Kaito have a chance to talk alone and she reveals something important. Galaxy Eyes shines, she appears in front of Kaito and...:

"You're ‘him‚ ... right?" Kaito whispered seriously, pointing to the card, letting her smile back at him.

“You're insightful, I am honored to be your companion...” she whispered. "But I take it you're upset about this, well... actually, you and I are even closer than you think, you just can't remember it, after that time."

[...]

"It's as if we Galaxy Dragons were a key to getting to the bottom of this story. The key to discovering the truth about Altaïr and how to defeat him."

"I guess you want me to investigate this, but without involving the Barians, I suppose." Kaito smiled as she nodded. "Well, I also want to find out what's underneath all this, so don't worry, I'll help you. After all, I'm your Master, right Amira?"

"You're not doing this just for me, actually. There's something noble and profound that drives you to fight. I know you, and that's why I'm proud to be your dragon. I'll tell you everything I know, Master."

Amira says "you just can't remember it, after that time" precisely, as if she had met him (I won't hide from you that there is a theory later that will hypothetically explain why)

So, let's know Amira's Astral form... Also called Mira (from like anyone in the Astral world to refer to the star) as the constellation of the Whale or omicron Ceti. (In Vega's story, many characters have the names of stars, just like our 7 Barian emperors technically)

If you notice, the girl has some references to Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (like scratches, taken from the dragon's wings) but also some details on her dress and hair (the red head, the tail, the color of the scales...).

Today we're talking about the past and the future... For @zexalocsweeek

So, let's talk in particular about Amira's future projects ~

As I mentioned in previous tasks, a lot of things change when Amira discovers her family's origins: she reconnects with her family, even if sometimes with difficulty, and she dedicates herself to her brothers...

…But she also rediscovers the love that she thought she couldn't receive, thanks to IV.

After the ending, in fact, Amira accepts Byron and Faker's proposal to resume her studies and focus on the "scientific world" but, although they both think she will take up the field of research that her mother took up, well, she will devote herself to medicine.

Haruto’s now well — certainly better than before — and Kaito no longer has to deal with the consequences of the Photon Hand but that something innate in her becomes something she wants to put at the service of others: she wants to become a doctor.

Amira manages to obtain a scholarship and begins attending medical school, obtaining excellent results in a short time; on the other hand, sees IV resume his “dueling career” as the two grow ever closer; and Kaito returns to work with their father, Byron and V on a special project that they will present to her once she graduates.

In fact, once she graduated, Faker himself invested in her, opening an “technological medical centre” and exploiting a recomposition of the Astral energy absorbed by his daughter as a driving force for rapid cellular regeneration: not only useful for errors caused by the improvement of AR duels but also for simpler or more “complicated” medical treatments and illnesses.

But the important question is: will IV be able to propose to her?

In the very first version of this story, yes and he did it in a funny way, just after the finale …but I'm currently working on it, I swear I'll come up with something new.

But I can definitely confirm that from the archived files that I found a few days ago: they’ll have a little girl with a very peppery personality (she takes after his father) but also so empathetic like her mother with a very strong admiration for his four uncles… and one Barian guy in particular (to uncle Kaito's delight we're talking about Mizael 🤣). Lils as they often affectionately call her... But her full name on the file Is LILITH (yeah obviously her father gave it to her)
