She has an ability that lets her summon two spirits, a demon and an angel. They help her navigate what is good and bad and she decides what to trust from a grey area. Since they did start existing simultaneously with her that technically means they are the same age as her. (14) Although they wouldn’t see it that way since they’ve existed through reincarnations for trillions of years, but still they reincarnated/reformed when valiance began to form in the womb. And she’s not aware of all her past lives with them the way they are. Time for them works very oddly like they always saw, felt, and missed valiance, before, during, and after her entire spiritual existence which started with the birth of their earth (which in their universe is named gaia) and ended with the death of it.
For them to not be accurate personifications of good and bad within society leaves valiance with a lot more work on her shoulders to actually navigate the more realistic ways that good and bad act within humans. Which makes them useless and convincing myself i should then just use them as symbolization for the way that society treats good and bad as something generic like it’s not the most painfully obscure thing humans have been arguing about for thousands of years and still just being able to come up with the same questions and answers repeatedly until we die, screams laziness to me and still just leaves them useless within their cosmically and spiritually assigned jobs
But idk that’s just the surface when we get to the actual plot of the story and her character, ofc i do want them to be useful. It’s just i thought it’d make more sense if i didn’t humanize them, to make them feel like real spirits of space and time attempting to imitate humans on earth but then that just leaves two brainless aliens that u can’t resonate with. Also why i didn’t wanna give them proper pronouns they are just, it and that. And then another issue is that they’re not gonna feel like valiance’s closest best friends?
This is no where near unique
But i thought it’d be cool to take a twist on how demons present themselves with fire by making the angel present themselves with heat cz it lowk makes more sense that way, and just like how ashes is presented with heat but with plasma instead of fire, void is represented not with ice but simply the cold, which is the absence of heat.
The angel, ashes, (which valiance named herself) represents good, which comes with representing light and stars, and even the heat that comes with that. What stars are made of is plasma powered by nuclear fusion, the process of crushing hydrogen atoms into helium, releasing massive amounts of heat and light. It’s interesting how that works like a bomb apparently so like imagine using nuclear fusion like a bomb of heat and light, or if u could control the heat then a VERYYYYY powerful flash bomb. That is op. And thats how i like it!
The demon, void, represents bad, it acts as the absence of good, the absence of light, the absence of warmth, so it’s the shadow that is left without light, just absorbing it, and the cold left without heat, dimming that warmth. Tho it might depend on the presence of it’s contrary, bad is still as much of a force as good is.
It’s funny how light has to be more of a force than dark has to be just to exist, which reminds me of how to be good means to fight and conquer over anything that is bad meanwhile people will tell u that the world sucks because that’s just the way it is, like is there no universe where light and good is the nature of the universe? That doesn’t have much relevance it just made me think
