Narrative: this is meant to show their first kiss. In b6, Sandy finds out about the exact curse Idia has and the circumstances of his life. This being a big reason on Idia’s part on why their relationship does not progress. As the more Idia realized he loves Sandy, the more he felt she deserved better than to live in the Underworld, and he doesn’t want to drag her down there.
The more he yearned for her, the more he feared having her.
After he gives Vil the cosmetics Rook brought, Idia holds Sandy back at her request to speak with him. When she asks if he will erase their memories (both her research report in b5 and her otaku heart coming in handy), Idia becomes upset and confesses to her that none of this was supposed to happen. He then goes on to explain that he had meant to break up with her for the last two years, but could never bring himself to do so which left his last hope that during senior year, Sandy would get a good internship, and eventually he would fade out of her life like a game going EoS.
He asks Sandy if she will argue with him, but Sandy replies “what’s the point? I’ll forget all about this, and you’ll be stuck with all the bad memories.”
Rather, Sandy finally confesses to him that she loves him, and always has, basically telling him she chooses him, so she chastely kisses him, in a selfish act, and gives him her headband where with the two forget-me-not clips are—a symbol for remembrance and devoted love.
Idia is too stunned to react, but before she leaves the room, asks why she would throw away her kiss and confession knowing she’ll forget.
Sandy at the door, smiles at him, “It’s precisely because I will forget this that I have to say it now. I’m a coward, so I don’t think I can bring myself to say all of it again. But when the me who has forgotten all this, finally works up the courage to say all that I have, I hope that you hearing it a second time will finally get through to you. Ciao, Idia!”
Intro: Lavenza is my OC that is also the Counter Force. Her main story is, technically, neither Fate/Stay Night, nor Fate/Grand Order (or any other Fate works. Since she is the Counter Force, she does exist everywhere.)
Sandy’s overblot design and the inspo sheet. She has a turn-around and an expression sheet but I haven’t cleaned them up.
Her phantom hasn’t been drawn yet, but think of it as a tall, slender skeleton, a mix of Jack Skellington and Slenderman with a perfume bottle looking head.
Sandy’s designated book is b1.5: the Queen of Lamentations, that takes place between Book 1 and Book 2. Her reasoning for overblotting is the realization that the ‘happiness’ she seeks for both herself and to spread for others is ‘false’—that life is suffering.
Her wish is to make others happy, as she believes other people can feel real happiness, while hers is nothing but a shadow of what it once was. She feeds off the happiness of others, so she can be happy for them, it’s both a selfish and selfless mindset.
When that fake illusion of making others happy is broken, Sandy snaps and realizes if she can’t make everyone happy, she can take away their suffering, and so in her overblot state, she seeks to kill everyone, to preserve them in a state of not being hurt further—to take away their suffering.
A little more info: Sandy has been trying to revive Skully by finding anything that once belonged to him, because she wants her brother back, and for her family to be as they used to be.
A loving family.
When Skully goes MIA, her family has no choice but to declare him deceased. Sandy loses both Skully as well as her family’s once warm affection—their house turning into an ongoing funeral and a place of cold, loneliness and continuous grief.
It is because of Idia revealing that the real Ortho died, and he built the robot Ortho, but this did not truly bring his brother back. This is an attempt to prevent Sandy from falling down the same path as him, does Sandy realize the happiness she sought isn’t real. She has ignored Idia’s deeper pain, by turning a blind eye to the fact Ortho is a robot, even when she suspected something was wrong.
I haven’t properly introduced Sandy on tumblr—She’ll have her profile up and intro sometime this month.
For now, brief intro: Sandy is Skully’s little sister. I took a lot of liberties in their story, so if it doesn’t add up to his card vignette, it’s because I wrote their lore before more info on Skully came out. Due to magic, Sandy and Skully were separated (though both unbeknownst to one another’s plight, as Skully had gone to NRC and was trapped in the book), Sandy was trapped in a time displacement curse in their old town shortly after.
Sandy winded up in present time, unknown that she’s from the past. She has believed Skully was deceased since she was 7 yrs old, and they don’t get to reunite until Lost in the Book of Halloween: the Nightmare Before Christmas, albeit briefly.
*Idia is here because he’s Sandy’s boyfriend. The two met in an MMORPG when they were 13, shortly after Idia had finished building Ortho and perfecting the Cerberus System. They became gaming buddies online, and by complete accident, Sandy became his online girlfriend. They both winded up meeting each other in person at Night Raven College, but neither were aware the other was attending.
This is Sandy's fake introduction — it is how she enrolled in Night Raven College, using a phony name (her neighbor's), and wearing the iconic pumpkin mask, which she wore for two years.
Sandy attends NRC against her parents' wishes, as they planned to have her attend an all-girls school in the Kingdom of Heroes. For 2 years, she sent her parents fake report cards and information from the girls' academy while in reality she went to Sage's Island, in the hopes of finding anything that could tell her what happened to Skully.
And for 2 years while attending NRC, Sandy had been hacking the system and combing through all the students' records in the last decade, trying to find Skully's (to no avail, because Skully attended NRC centuries ago, not decades, unbeknownst to Sandy). Of course, this was all known knowledge to Idia, who turned a blind eye to her cybercrimes.
But it was based on a meme going around twt; originally the character leaning was naked with a present bow covering them, but I drew Sandy in the Celebratory Dress of Angell from Path to Nowhere since it's cat theme.
