Description
Here's my bae.
Basic Bio
- Name: Yayu , Sylthfarn (ヤユ､シルスファーン)
- Age: 18
- Species: Human
- Faction: ＲＥＤ
- Job: Creature Charmer - Yayu trains a variety of ravens, crows and black birds of the same species. Her performances are suitable for both adults and children (depending on the performance time). As ravens are dangerous birds, she performs in a distance from the audience and part of her act is to let specific audience interact with the birds.
- Birthday: Unknown
- Special Item: A feather from Abyss (Yayu's first friend/deceased Raven) she managed to obtain a feather before her raven was killed and disposed of by the caretakers in the asylum. She keeps it with her at all times, where she keeps it is a secret. It helps to keep her calm.
Personality
- Observant: Yayu is an observant person, she rarely interrupts people's conversation and even though she is never interested in their conversations, she would still remember the details of them.
- Confident in her act: She has high confidence in things she does, sometimes it leads to her getting hurt, but she walks with her chest up and face front. She doesn't feel discouraged when making mistakes and many times her confidence leads to her appearing like she is ignoring her surroundings and cold.
- Paranoid and easily shaken: Performance aside, she is really paranoid about many things, such as being without her birds around. She also freaks out when she can't find parts of her clothing. She is seen to have some slight OCD, she will not leave her trailer without her gloves nor dare to touch anything without them. She would wash everything more times than needed and make sure they leave no scent or clue of what she has been doing.
- Sweet: Despite her appearance, her heart is still not made of pure ice, she can often be really sweet and also smiles when it comes to children or anyone she deems "safe" to be around.
- Holds grudges: She will never forget nor forgive anyone that has ever done her any harm. Just like ravens.
History
Yayu was born as an illegitimate child to the noble family of Sylthfarn in Germany. Despite her status as a wedlock child, she was treated with great love and care. Her home was a beautiful mansion, an egg that protected her from any danger she could ever perceive. She had a nanny that educated her, servants that attended her, and a mother who always sat in a rocking chair smiling at her.
As a child, she was always afraid of birds, especially the large black ones that soared high above the mansion. Often she would find herself attacked if she came too close to them, causing her to become terrified. As a result, she stayed inside most of the time, going out only when accompanied by family members or servants. Other than that, she could be found in her room, sitting at the window and watching the birds circling overhead and flying back to their nests. That’s how she passed her days…
As Yayu grew older, a certain person from the family would give her instructions, such as carrying packages from one place to another, trading it for another package. It was always hidden in a brown package and her upbringing kept her naïve of the weight of her own actions. Little did she know that she was carrying contraband, transporting and trading illegal goods with banned associations. Slowly her family seemed to stop noticing her, the nanny long gone, and the servants busy with other things, and her mother frequently out. Despite it all, she felt like she belonged, happy to do what she was told…
Until she got caught.
The harsh reality hit like a sledgehammer. One moment she was on her way to a frequent destination while carrying a package from the person, the next she found herself on the ground, restrained by the authorities. When she said she was from the Sylthfarn household, she was dragged back to the mansion and questioned. Her father simply stood there, smiling as if the authorities were making some secret joke that Yayu couldn’t understand.
"What a curious prank you are trying to pull. However, I think, perhaps, you have the wrong child. My son is right here."
As he spoke, another child, with a face almost identical to Yayu’s, came out from the side room, his blue eyes piercing hers. By then, the rest of the family filed into the room, her mother in the back with the servants, all muttering how they didn’t recognize the child that had been brought to the mansion.
Yayu lifted her head up, watching silently as she glimpsed the reality of her future. The people that once claimed to love her now taught her a new feeling in addition to all their lies - the feeling of “betrayal”. As a child that was born without paperwork, it wouldn’t matter at all what she said. She had no rights, and thus no one would ever think to listen to her. Holding back the tears that threatened to fall, she locked up all the emotions in her heart. She accepted her fate.
“Such an odd child. She doesn’t smile, or laugh. Nor does she cry or tremble in fear. All she does is stare. Disgusting.”
“But I do feel all of those emotions,” Yayu would always tell herself. She just simply never had the confidence to show it. Due to the overflowing amount of orphans in the orphanages, the authorities sent her to a mental child asylum for temporary stay. There, she found herself confined in her room, unsure of what to do. Yet despite the change in environment, she found no difference between the asylum and the mansion. She found herself at the windows again, watching as the black birds soaring outside, terrified of them. There were many children in the asylum, mostly simply just children who had daily seizures, impaired thinking, or simply just talked to themselves.
Her life felt empty. All she knew was that she was not afraid to lose anything, for there was nothing to lose to begin with.
She stood up from the window and left her small room. Because she was simply being accommodated at the asylum, the caretakers did not bother to keep her door locked during the day. Yayu walked into the courtyard in the back of the building, to where the black birds were the thickest. Holding out a frail hand, she watched as the birds attacked it, scratching and pecking until blood dripped down her wrist and arm in rivulets. Despite that, she moved closer, finally able to settle her hand gently on the chest feathers of the one she had been watching the most since her arrival. By then, the asylum’s curfew had passed, and she found herself locked out, unable to go back to her room. As a result, she searched outside for a comfortable place to sleep, far away from the birds.
When Yayu woke up, she found the bird she had touched the day before at her side, heaping a pile of bandages in front of her. Watching it carefully, she began to bandage the cuts and scratches that she had washed earlier in the nearby fountain. It stared at her, cocking its head to the side, seemingly curious.
“Your feathers are so deep and dark…just like an abyss.”
From that day on, she found herself spending hours upon hours with that bird and its flock of friends.
However, as Yayu had predicted, her happiness did not last for long. One day, some of the older children saw her interacting with the black bird, and from then on Yayu found herself an outcast. The children of the asylum found her strange and creepy, as she would always spend her time outside and become covered in dirt, not only that, word of her speaking to birds spread like wildfire. The other children would drag her around and beat her up, calling her a freak; frustrated, perhaps, at the different treatment that Yayu received as a non-asylum child.
During the night, Yayu would stay with the bird, a raven, the matron called them, saying nothing as the wounds and bruises increased. It repeated in a vicious cycle until one day, Yayu did not show up. The raven went to search for her, flying quietly around the building and peering through the windows, finally witnessing the source of Yayu’s wounds.
“I heard that birds like crows and ravens tend to be overprotective, carrying their grudges throughout their unkindness.”
From that day on, the raven and many of its friends and family began to surround the asylum, attacking the children, concentrating the most on the ones that brought harm to Yayu.
“You protect me more than any human ever did…”
After that incident, the caretakers of the asylum planned to shoot down all the black birds that attacked the children, any black bird that flew near the asylum. When the Raven came close to find Yayu, it was taken down and killed by one of the caretakers. Yayu grabbed on to it's wings while the caretakers tried to pull it away from her and dispose of the bird. She wouldn't let go, for the first time, she was angry, she was sad, she was enraged, she grabbed on as tightly as she could, in the end the wing slipped out from her grasp, leaving her with merely a feather as her one true friend was disposed of, in front of her.
Her first true friend, family, and one and only true love.
Her life became bitter and empty. She wanted to be with the Raven. To fill the void, she began to search for a bird like it, yet one after another, she quickly found that none could ever seem to replace it. They were just…birds.
After the death of the Raven, the flock left the asylum, never to return. Yayu followed their trail, which lead her to Cirque Des Reves, where she found a place to settle down.
“I can charm birds, however, only on one condition: all the birds you give me must be of black feathers.”
It was her only request from the circus. Yet the birds she trained…they were never the same. Every month she received a new batch of birds, seemingly identical to her previous ones. Yet the number of birds she kept never changed and where the prior group went, no one seemed to know.
Behind the scenes, Yayu would kill her birds. She would train them, rigorously and with care, before allowing them to shine in the circus shows. Yet quickly after she would remove them from existence, realizing that what she was looking for wasn’t there. None of the birds would ever behave like her precious Raven, her precious Abyss. Even if they carried the same feathers, the same form, they were of a simpleminded sort…they could never be Raven. The Raven was different; it felt like it wasn’t a bird at all in the times they spent together.
Soon her trailer became filled with bird corpses, the bigger ones taxidermied, the small ones scattered all over her floor in piles of bones and feathers. Washing her hands and clothing became a frequent habit, yet what could she do? She felt safe when she had birds around her, but she didn’t want them to fly away either, so the best solution was for them to stay silent and unmoving forever.
“I want to meet someone like you again in the future.”
Her desperation begins to separate her from reality.
TL;DR version (With less classy English!):
Okay so, after being thrown into the Asylum, Yayu, the illegitimate child started to make friends with a Raven. After protecting Yayu from the children from the Asylum (by attacking the children), the Raven was killed by the caretakers of the Asylum. All the other Ravens then fled from the premises and Yayu followed the flock that lead her to the circus. She starts to develop some psychological issues that causes her to start murdering the birds she trains. (For more details, read her long history ovo)
