Day 2 #Xayahtober2023 Sacrifice

On Xayah's hands, the blood of the human she killed drips like a condemnation. His eyes, once filled with innocence, now reflect terror and panic. On his face you can see the burden of the decision that changed his destiny. That day Xayah sacrificed more than her empathy and her old life.

-.-.-.-.-.-.

Okay, let's move on to day two, and I tried to do something different, but I don't think it turned out well haha, I still like it a lot.

This drawing is not of any Xayah, but of the version of Xayah that I have, Heartless (Kind of an Undertale Au ahaha). And it is easy to recognize by the scar on his right eye, which is not very noticeable here x,d

This is all because I want to continue exploring more of the story I'm giving you. And, analyzing it, the fact that she saw the human attack on her village, seeing everyone die and being the only one who could escape, must have generated trauma for the survivor. Adding that that same day, after a human who came to chase her, she tried to flee, but the cornered verse had no choice but to kill him. And let's just say that murdering someone with her own hands after still dealing with the shock of her family's death, I don't think it was pretty for little Xayah.

Do not edit.

Do not crop the logo.

The main reason I’m upset about Xayah (and Rakan of course) remaining corrupted (in the skins, because there’s still more lore to be updated soon I believe) is because her whole identity is she’s the guardian of her people.

A guardian is who she is;

she fights and dedicates herself and her life to the protection of her culture, and the vastayan people. Who’ve for so long been oppressed and enslaved. It’s part of the reason I so desperately wanted a Star Guardian skin for her, although the pastel cutesy concept doesn’t define her very well, I think the actual purpose the guardians serve is what is so perfect for her.

She’s not a villain. She’s a hero.

Her goal is to save, to protect. To lead vastayans to a brighter future. To the ones hoping to extract magic from all life for their own gain, and to the ones who enslave and slaughter the ones she’s sworn to protect, she’s a war criminal.

But to her people, she is their voice, their savior, and

Rakan: *Eating chicken nuggets*
