there's no in-between

“Hey, did you know that if you were a chicken, you’d be impeccable.” Eugene grinned, shooting finger guns at the other. “What do you think? Good pick up line? Bad? Maybe I should try something different. Like… You must be a campfire. Because you’re super hot and I want s’more.”

          “If I was a chicken -      was that meant to be a compliment?” Luna asked, offended by the insinuation that she wasn’t already impeccable. “I would never say that again, especially to someone that you’re interested in. It’s a disaster and a half, not that your second attempt is much better. I might recommend skipping the lines altogether.”

{ SARAH JEFFERY } – { LUNA MOON } is a { TWENTY-THREE } year old { CIS FEMALE } student in the { CIVILIAN INTEGRATION DIVISION }. { SHE } was invited to join the Academia because of { HER } { RAINBOW MANIPULATION }. Honestly, they can be pretty { INSULTING }, but they make up for it with their { CHARM }. ( drew, est, twenty-one, he/him )

luna’s parents would tell you that she was born happy - smiling and giggling earlier than most babies and not seeming to stop until she reached her teenage years.

as a middle child of a large family, she slowly grew to resent the attention lavished on her siblings - siblings who always seemed more talented, more deserving - and as she entered high school she began to act out. the thud of a slammed door became a frequent sound in the moon household, often followed by the creak of a window as luna disappeared into the night. 

and yet her grades never slipped into a range that would cause concern, luna unwilling to sacrifice her own future to gain the attention she wanted. no, luna was deadset on one day opening her own cafe, the idea coming to her as she sipped at her first cup of coffee. 

by the time that her senior year rolled around, luna had learned how to insult people with a kind smile still in place -    had in her mind at least learned to be casually cruel even as the happy child still lurked underneath the surface. 

then life threw a curve-ball as it tends to do during a physics lesson on prisms and the spectrum of life. luna was frustrated, struggling to measure the angle of refraction when it happened. the rainbow of light seemed to solidify, the light becoming hard and unmoving before her eyes. after completing the assignment, she pocketed the strange object -   deciding there and then that nobody was to know.

except apparently life wasn’t willing to settle for that; everytime that luna saw a rainbow, she watched as it shifted, changing to somehow seem to echo her mood before crumbling just as the panic hit. to say that she was relieved to receive a letter from the academy would have been an understatement.

since arriving, she has learned to somewhat control her abilities -    learning that she can create rainbows and then promptly questioning why she ever would. perhaps it’s her desire to live a normal life that’s keeping her from reaching her full potential but luna won’t hear a word about it.
