BNHA VERSE : BLUE MOON.

TWs: Death/murder, PTSD, trauma.

POWER: 2.5/5 (D+) SKILL: 2/5 (D) SPEED: 1/5 (E) INTELLIGENCE: 3.5/5 (C+) TEAMWORK: 4/5 (B)

Yuuei is not the only school focused on raising the best of the best heroes - far from it. With prestigious academies littering the Americas, Europe, and Africa, as well as the rest of Asia, it is no surprise that one of it's sister facilities rose to prominence on it's heels. 超越学院, or Chāoyuè Academy: School for Heroics - fondly called Chao - is one of China's largest schools, pulling in students from all across the country, as well as from neighboring provinces.

Born in the outskirts of Mongolia to a people still honoring their nomadic heritage, Altansarnai Hotgo is one of the many students that travels hours by bus, and then hours more by train, to be boarded at Chao nigh year round. With only small visits back to her home and family, the girl is beside herself when her small tribe decides to make the excursion to come visit before the school's very own Sports Festival.

The Festival brings forth the best the school has to offer, and family, friends, and companies from across the globe come to scout prospective students. It brings out the best... and the worst, begging for the scraps.

On the eve of the Sports Festival, she agrees to meet her family at an eatery upon their arrival. With basic Cantonese being her second language and English her third, she gives her relatives poor directions.

They are not there. They are not there for over an hour, and when she finally believes they simply never came - she sees the police lights and the wailing sirens headed blocks away, and she knows.

Altansarnai had always been a student to keep her head down and her life private, so when news spreads across the school that she has nothing to return to and that the foreigner family that was mugged and murdered had been hers, she swiftly spirals and intends to drop out entirely.

One of the teachers takes her under their wing - quite literally, as their quirk has them part owl. They reach out to neighboring schools, hoping that removing the girl from the spotlight would keep her from fully being lost. She takes the remainder of the school year off, volunteering at local hero agencies to grab coffees and shred paper, before Yuuei accepts the professor's application.

Alta Kha is officially a UA student, retaking her first year once more, with a name she hopes no one will recognize and a backstory she prays no one asks about.

Which is not a big ask. With Japanese being her fourth language, and still processing her history through therapy, Alta is even more quiet and withdrawn than before... when her Quirk isn't needed.

Labeled The Echo, Alta's quirk involves being able to dive into memories of those she's working with - or working against. With an inability to control how frequently or when the power strikes, she is at a disadvantage on the field and in combat. She is primarily in classes geared toward support and medic training, where the other aspects of her Quirk shine: the ability to translate words at an incredible rate, so long as she has seen or heard it in another language she already knows. It makes her soar in written language exams... but flounder and turn red during spoken-word. (Emulating alphabets is easier for her: emulating sounds doesn't come as swiftly.)

Alta Kha is placed in class B, and is housed year-round at the high school. She returns for a few weeks during holiday breaks to visit her family's burial site in Mongolia and to work at a hero agency for pocket money, but otherwise stays in Japan.

LEVEL 80 WHITE MAGE STAVE ; EUSEBEIA.

EUSEBEIA ; the word has fallen out of use and knowledge, a virtue lost by history. It was written of in books and manuscripts from times past on the First, conveying holiness, reverence, and sometimes, fear. ( x )

Carved from one of Lakeland’s many lilac-toned trees, Eusebeia is an homage to Alta’s journey through the First. It has grown and evolved as her travels sent her across the shard, and was originally a simple, wooden stave. Her previous cane was not properly attuned to the First’s elemental spirits and struggled to amplify her spells, being torn away from it’s home spirits and aether. Swiftly after she was pulled to the First was this weapon carved.

As a White Mage’s cane carries a spell and manifests energy sometimes through the user’s own aether, it comes as no surprise that, as the light began to corrupt it’s owner, did tendrils of the unending sun begin to trickle down into her stave. While the curls of marble and gold filigree climb up and down the entire branch, it is the most tainted by it where she often wields the weapon.

The Crystal was not bestowed upon the stave until after her return to the Source. While the shard from the tower is not as complete or full as G’raha’s own, the homage to their connection is unmistakable. While she may give some floaty, sentimental reason behind it’s addition, it’s actually quite practical, or so G’raha would say. Since the Crystal itself has seen both the First and the Source, it attunes itself to both shard’s aether and elements with ease, allowing Alta to wield the weapon with it’s intended strength no matter what shard she may be on. It acts as a beacon to the elemental spirits in both places when they otherwise may not be able to find her, should she use other staves.

(Alta has no real leanings in the science or logical reasoning behind the addition: it’s a sign of her promise to the Crystal Exarch, that she would take him on her journey, no matter where she ends up. While she is aware the shard of Crystal itself does not belong to him, the sentiment - and promise - is still there, should he or G’raha ever worry of her loyalty to it.)

base by keyune, but has been deleted. inspiration under the cut.

traditional mongolian patterns called khee. i’ll be honest and say i didn’t do too much digging for references. i just wanted something i could replicate by hand. the one i picked in particular is called the “hammer” khee and. i got the idea from a door i saw. akdnkngkngk

l.oona stages for their latest comeback: the asymmetrical hems, exposed shorts, etc.

the uppermost left image was taken from (what was labeled as) a traditional mongolian clothing, but ultimately i ended up cutting the idea of a V waistband to do the overcoat pictured below it instead.

shorts were taken from the ishgardian shorts of healing and just modified a tiny bit. arm bands were inspired by the pagl’than arm pieces i think.

her body paint has no real meaning aside from the azem/sun sign.

Title: severed Rating: T Media: Final Fantasy XIV Triggers: Depiction of PTSD, violence, description of death, blood

His lance scraped at her cheek as he struggled to breathe, until the weapon clattered to the ground beside her. Just like before, he clawed at his throat. Alta could hear the rasp as he fought with himself, with the beast that had swallowed him whole, his other hand fumbling to find his weapon -

“Finish me now,” he echoed.

The second time the Warrior of Light faces Estinien Wyrmblood, sparing him is not an option.
