Paimon!MC coming right up~
When MC was a baby they were abandoned on the doorstep of their relatives. But their relatives hated MC so when MC turned 2 they abandoned the toddler on the doorstep to an orphanage.
The orphanage wasn't any better but the other kids ADORED MC so the workers couldn't do anything too obvious.
So instead MC was verbally abused, starved, and given the bare necessities to live.
There was a game station in the orphanage too but MC was never allowed to even touch it so instead they watched the other kids play on it.
They watched them play games and when Genhshin was being played MC always paid more attention.
MC learned as much as they could about the game and it's lore but then when MC turned 8 it happened.
The workers had enough of the child and unknown to the other children, MC had been thrown into the basement.
The kids thought MC had been adopted but a few of them were suspicious.
Weeks go by and during that time MC was hit, kicked, punched, slapped, spat at, verbally abused as well, and starved. They were getting so tired.
So MC curled up in the corner of the dark basement, and as their breathing slowed they felt a hand clamp around their neck.
MC cried out weakly, unable to breathe, and then they felt/heard a sickening crunch and it all went black.
They woke, tiny, crying, warm and cold. Too big hands held them and then they were passed to someone else's arms and named 'Paimon!MC'
Paimon!MC was soothed and the person holding them looked so pretty. There was another person in the room but most of the now baby's attention was on the nice woman who just gave birth to her.
Oh god she was a baby again.
She didn't want to die again!
Paimon!MC was snapped from her thoughts when she heard the nice woman's heartbeat starting to slow. The baby cried as the nice woman died with a smile on her lips.
The person in the room, the one who wasn't a doctor, gently picked her up, hugging her both tightly and gently. It was clear this person was her father. Through her blurry vision she could make out long black hair and blue eyes.
A year goes by and it's her birthday.
It's been odd, she's been fed, washed, taken care of, played with, and given stories. But she can't help but be greedy and take it all.
She died when she was 8 last time.
Last time she had been starved by her relatives and abused by the orphanage.
She had a father, no mother but that's ok, a stable home, and fun.
Her father had starry eyes...
An older man came by today and cooed at her, calling her papa THRAIN and her papa called the man PIERRO...
She was reborn in a game...
But then she sees her fluffy hair in the mirror and shakes the thoughts of being canon Paimon out of her head. Her eyes weren't like Paimon's galaxy eyes, and her hair was BLACK not white.
She turned 3 and then met a nice woman named Tholindis who introduced her and her papa to Tholindis' fiance named Rerir.
The four became a family and then Rerir introduced her and her papa to his friends, the other sinners.
Through Vedrfolnir they gained another family member named Dainsleif.
She was a happy child and all thoughts of the cataclysm stayed away from her mind.
A few years later and she met the Abyss Prince(ss) and the blonde became her big sibling!!
But then she turned 8 and it happened.
Vedrfolnir had been taken.
Days later and the cataclysm started...
She was running through the ruined city, trying to find her family. She saw Tholindis and the child ran over to the woman, hugging her tightly.
The woman crouched down and soothed her as best she could.
Then Paimon!MC and Tholindis saw Rerir.
It was clear Tholindis and Rerir had revealed their truths to each other YEARS ago (Paimon!MC had listened in without anyone noticing).
Relief flood Rerir's face and Paimon!MC saw the rest of her family hurrying to her, her papa, her grandpa (Pierro), her big sibling (Abyss sibling) and her uncles and aunty too (Vedrfolnir was still in the dungeons but was seeing everything with his sight)!!
But then the ground shook and cracked open beneath them. Paimon!MC stumbled slightly and tried running to her papa, tugging Tholindis along, but then the ground cracked and Paimon!MC was separated.
The last thing Paimon!MC saw before falling was Tholindis reaching for her, terror in her face.
The last thing she heard was her family screaming her name.
Paimon!MC woke to darkness, a cavern all around her.
The little girl wandered for a long time and then there were monsters and they chased her further into the abyss before she fell.
She was tortured day in and day out either mentally or physically.
Not in obvious ways but in ways obviously.
Monsters chased her and hurt her too.
She was so scared and tears were constantly streaming down her face.
One day she saw the Abyss sibling and tried running over to them but when the blonde turned and saw her, rage filled their face and then the abyss opened beneath her once more and she fell.
The abyss sibling didn't know it was her.
Still why did they have to do that?
Paimon!MC watches as the years go by and her hair turns white, her once starry eyes turn into canon Paimon's eyes, and the abyss shrunk her...
She doesn't want to be here!
The one good thing that came of this is her control over abyssal powers...
That's the only good thing that happened.
She does not know how much time has gone by but it has to have been at least a hundred years...
Then one day the abyss opened beneath her once again, throwing her even deeper into it. It clawed at her and she SCREAMED.
And then she opened her eyes and saw she was in a cave.
She sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. She hunched over herself and clawed at her arms.
She was 8 years old for crying out loud!
Eventually she left the cave and came across a grave in a hidden flower field.
Two figures stood over it.
A man in armor and an older man that she recognized as Pierro.
It was her papa and grandpa.
Then they said words that made her sick to her stomach.
They wished her grave a happy birthday.
They said how long it had been sense the cataclysm.
She was stuck in the abyss for 400 years.
She took a step back and a branch snapped.
Her papa and grandpa stiffened.
Her papa turned and he saw her.
He didn't recognize her or rather...
He did but he didn't think it was her.
There was a sharp pain in her throat and then she was running. She collapsed eventually, a hand pressed to her throat, blood seeping past her fingers.
Paimon!MC couldn't breathe!!
She choked on her blood, tears streaming down her face. Her papa tried to kill her!!
She fell unconscious. Later she woke up, the wound healed, now an ugly scar on her neck in a line.
Her papa had tried to cut off her head...
416 if you counted her past life.
But she was a CHILD, albeit more mature than a regular one. It hurt so much. She spent a week in the same spot just crying.
She found canon Paimon's clothes and wore them. At least the cape/scarf thing covered her neck...
And then she stumbled across the beach where the Traveler was.
She stayed there for another 100 years and then the blonde woke.
They grew close, they were her big sibling now. She helped as much as she could in Mondstat, even managing to soothe Dvalin and heal him even faster with her control over Abyssal powers.
Eventually after Mondstat but before Liyue, everything was revealed.
She was crying one night after waking up from a nightmare and the Traveler found her, soothing her, and asking what was wrong and it all just came out.
She revealed everything (except her past life and that this was a game in that life) and even though the Traveler was shocked, they still accepted her.
Traveler didn't shun her, instead they bundled her into their arms and just hugged the young child.
Paimon!MC is THEIR little sibling, Traveler would rather KILL someone than ever make her think she was unwanted. (Traveler is feral)
Mondstat is worried about Paimon!MC, VERY worried. Diluc and Kaeya especially but shh, don't tell anyone I said that. Paimon!MC is a skittish little thing but she tries to be kind to everyone. Her smiles make even the sun look dull in comparison.
They're going to meet Dainsleif soon...
Hope you liked it and it makes sense!!
I won't lie I'm really tired but I tried but I don't think it's as good as it usually is
What have I done to the poor Marshmallow Fairy...
I'm currently in the corner with some tissues and chocolate...
Oh god... I knew it was going to be bad, but not THIS bad!!!! ...Scoot over and hand me a tissue...
No, but seriously, fuck- Thrain! What have you done?! There's no coming back from THAT! Nothing will wipe what you did to your own daughter away! She has a scar, from you! ...I'm scared even more now, if Thrain acted that way with Paimon!MC, what's Dainsleif going to do?
Hell, what about the Abyss Sibling?! They hurt Paimon!MC too! If they try it again, the Traveler will definitely fist fight them!
Someone please just hug the marshmallow fairy...
