Nope, that was about three years ago. Probably would have been four by now.
[She dealt with a lot since then. It's why she didn't hold any resentment for her parents. Well, not enough to keep cursing them like a certain mage does to her former "husband."]
Once I spent some time stealing wallets for cash, I was discovered by a teacher of Hebijo, who made me an offer I could hardly refuse. And if I got to meet the assholes who ruined my life and stab them, all the better. Yet despite beating their own agent and putting his ass in the hospital, they accepted my enrollment with no issue. All while they explained how good accepts few, evil accepts all. It's...it stuck with me even till now.
[She seems to lighten up a bit, though her eyes are still downcast, mixed emotions rising as she recalled being brought there, feeling both freedom and danger.]
That's the main gist of things relating to a certain person here. The rest, well to speed up, I still had trust issues when students kept trying to kill me, and because of winning so many fights, I became an Elite, working with a group of five of the strongest shinobi at the academy at that time.
Working with them, trying to be nice, playing leader, I saw all of it as a job, all to please Hebijo. By the time I found out they were making friends with the Hanzo shinobi, the good shinobi, I was getting furious. Yet when I decided to fight my friend Haruka on this....I realized how empty it was, fighting this way. I wanted to get stronger, to better help Hebijo, but to what end? I began to feel like I was trapped all over again, just like pleasing my parents. Meanwhile, I have friends who were still fighting for my sake, who were willing to hear me out and find purpose.
[She sighed, hand over her face.]
I still feel ashamed for being blinded so much, and I'm worried it might happen again with...with my new mother I guess, Caster.
That...I think is a good spot to end on. Way more to it of course, but I think I just wanna focus on what happened with Caster. I'm sure you know by now, what with the kidnapping of Darin, big forest fire, that thing?
