In a Black Butler mood recently, so I drew a companion piece to a drawing I made when I was in high school. I can’t find the version that I made in Medibang, but I found the sketch. So, this is a slight reintroduction to my Black Butler oc, Veronica, O!Ciel’s reincarnation of the 21st century.

TRAGIC HORROR TROPES.
— the final girl.
the final girl comes out the other end of trauma alive – or, they were supposed to. honestly, you're not so sure you're really alive anymore. you saw the same hurt take those you were closest to while everyone paraded your bruises and bravery, as strength, as if you're the hero. and it hurts. you're tired and you don't want to have to be brave anymore. whatever you went through, it changed so much of who you were that you're still getting used to the person you see in the mirror. you didn't have a say in any of it, but you're here now, and that's gotta count for something. you'll make it count for something. but first, you need to let yourself find rest.
— the witch.
people need to find blame wherever they can; it makes the bad things in their life feel just a touch more bearable. the witches are so often blamed for the curses others are under that no one even questions it anymore. you point to a supposed witch and everyone else prepares the stake, no matter their innocent. to be born and believed a witch is one of the worst curses of them all – you can have friends and family, but there's always a dread that someday, someone will point to you, and everyone you once trusted will throw you into the pyre. if you're here, reading this, you've probably been burned before. and i don't blame you for wanting to hide away, to really become the witch they all say you are, to curse them. but to be a witch is to brush your fingertips over the bark of a tree and watch it grow a touch stronger. keep that in mind.
— the vampire.
it is the loneliest day of a vampire's life, the first time they look into a mirror and see their reflection missing. drinking blood sucks too, don't get me wrong, but as a vampire you had to learn to hide from the sunlight, from your family, all your friends, because you were unavoidably different now and you didn't know how to explain that to them in a way they would understand. you could get stranger's blood in bursts, but what is life when you can't know someone for longer than the night lasts? you left everything behind because it was easier than trying to tell them. i just hope you know you're not the only vampire out there, and that there exist people who will understand your situation without a word. they'll sit with you in the dark for as long as you'll need them to.
— the mummy.
here's the thing about mummies – why the hell is anyone opening up their tombs? you were resting. you were peaceful. but someone intruded, barged in and broke down your walls and stole all the parts of yourself that you cherished, and then blamed you for being angry. blamed you for chasing them down no matter how fast they ran and how many obstacles they put in your path. and you know what? they deserve your rage. they destroyed something sacred. they didn't give a shit, and they wouldn't ever have lamented their actions had it not been for you – the real hero – getting up and showing them that they don't have the right to destroy and pillage as they please. that is your home. that is your body. nothing they do can take that from you. if not for you, they probably would've kept breaking into tombs and disturbing restful lives without a second thought. you won't be repaid for your good, but i hope you know you are a saviour in your own right.
- Kore - Aster's late friend, they'd known each other since senior high. Tragically died in a raid.
- Sybil - The guild leader and the first member. She founded the it about a year and a half before Aster and Kore joined. The guild members see her as a mother figure.
- Lunette - The "DPS" of the guild along with Agni. Joined about a few months after the guild was founded.
- Agni - If Lunette is the magical DPS, he's the physical. The third member of the guild, he specializes in fire.
→ Miscellaneous:
- Hedeon - Dubbed "The One-man Pandemonium." Despite seeming human, they possess incredible strength comparable to that of a demon. Due to all the crimes and atrocities he's committed, an extremely high bounty has been placed upon them. Unfortunately, due to his inhumane strength and skill, those who have attempted to hunt him have either ended up severely injured, traumatized, or dead. Despite all this, he claims that he doesn't exactly side with neither good nor bad, and merely does whatever entertains him, which is also why they reject those who, instead of wishing to kill him, desire to form an alliance, as to him connections and bonds only serve as unnecessary restraints.
→ The Platinum Basilisk:
- Veronica - An extremely rich business woman who owns most of the city's buildings, materials, and land. Aside from being a business woman, she also leads the city's largest guild and is in charge of handling the bounties, working as quest master.
- Seth - Works as a bounty hunter and is part of Veronica's guild. He mainly uses a compound bow as his weapon, and is an extremely skilled archer. The guild, including him, have attempted to fight Hedeon, but quickly fell back and retreated after Hedeon killed hundreds of them in minutes. Holds the position of vice-guild leader. (And is in a relationship with Veronica)
