Sakurarisen. An Independant  ✿  Semi-private  ✿  Semi-Selective  ✿ RP blog for Seraphina Mayuzumi/Fair, Shayan Fair, and Iris and Terra Fair, Fully original OCs with fully original lore ft. elemental phoenixes called Fenix, among other magical and mythical beings, that tells the story of a world long since lost and how they’ve come to be in current day, how they survive, and how the Fenix of Snow and Ice has worked her way through the Cycle of Rebirth and countless worlds to the woman she is now  ✿  Primary verse is set in the original setting of Spellbound, primary fandom based verses are set in Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core and Remake/Rebirth, and Genshin Impact, secondary setting in Halcyon Era, which tells the story of the Fenix and the world of Halcyon, and Honkai Star Rail  ✿   Primary muse is Sera; Secondary in Shayan; 'Guests’ in iris and Terra  ✿   Blog is eternally under slight construction due to the development of Halcyon Era lore

Canon settings are run canon adjacent, following canon as much as possible with some divergences  ✿   FFVII canon on this blog is Crisis Core into Remake/Rebirth, OG verse strictly by request only - 7R verse takes place in a unique, alternate timeline running parallel to game canon followed by myself and @honorisen​, with the vast majority of canon events still intact aside from some slight divergences  ✿  While Halcyon Lore is a distant backstory of Sera’s, it affects everything to do with her and every verse in varying ways, and is always present in some form, if not obviously so  ✿  Somewhat OC and crossover friendly

Reminder prior to Snezhnaya's release that Sera does not let on she's from Snezhnaya, nor a wanted criminal in their eyes. Although she carries a Snezhnayan cryo vision in her Genshin verse, she claims to hail from the Mondstadt area (or Inazuma; it depends on who she's talking to, though it's more often than not Mondstadt) and will never tell you an actual hometown. She has contacts from Snezhnaya and is incredibly close to a harbinger ( @yoroiis ) and his wife, who protect her and hide her location, but there are incredibly few outside of Snezhnaya itself that are aware of where she or her husband Zack ( @honorisen ) truly hail from, and she refuses to set foot back in the nation due to their history, as well as her wanted status, even if said status isn't much of a high priority outside of the town she was born in.

I'm beyond down to discuss Snezhnayan muses who might know and would like to interact, but just wanted to drop that there's few who would, especially thanks to Childe's interference~! <3 Also hi I'm beyond stupid excited for this next update can you tell- XD

It had been a long, tiring day for one 'cat', treking through a finally quiet house in search of her source of comfort and peace. Run here, run there, deal with this problem and that issue, keep track of small kids, get caught up in a yelling match that had, admittedly, taken more of a toll on her than she cared to admit... And none of that had included keeping track and taking care of her own family, who had been just as eager to run about in the warm summer sunshine as everyone else in town. As much as she loved her job and having a family... Sera needed a break.

And it was in her husband she'd find that break, wasting no time in crawling onto his lap the moment she spotted him to curl up as close as she could to his chest. Hot as the summer was, his warmth was welcomed, sinking into her tired form like a fireplace's heat in the dead of winter, soothing and easing her frazzled and exhausted nerves. She'd never understood just where that heat came from, but she'd also never complained about it - Not when she could instead reach up and trail sleepy fingertips over the side of Zack's neck, ever so slowly working her way up towards his jawline.

"I love you," she'd whisper after a moment, unprompted but never anything less than her entire heart laid out for him. It was more than just a declaration of feelings; it was gratitude for being there and in her life, and letting her be close like she was. It was awe at his easygoing smile and willingness to still be there, even after all he'd been through, and continued to deal with. Happiness that he chose right there tobe, and with her to live his life. It was a great deal of things she knew he'd pick up on, and she'd leave it there for the moment, lifting her head to lay a soft kiss against his jaw before she'd snuggle back in and let her fingers do the 'talking' for her.

This... This was the best way to end the day, and she'd take no arguments.

@sakurarisen

" Heh, c'mon. You only love me because I saved you from all of those extra chores around the house today, don't you? "

That was a joke and Zack knew Sera would catch on quick -- but he couldn't help the amused laugh that'd followed. Worn, weary, and battle tested; Sera had flopped on him more like she'd just returned from some major fight than a busy day out on the town! Normally, she did okay with non-stop afternoons like the day had been, but when Sera hadn't come back for lunch to check in on him or the kids, then he'd kind of took that as a sign she'd needed extra help.

So much so, that acting like her oversized pillow at the end of the day wasn't anything he'd complain about! He'd simply scoop Sera up, hold her against his chest like the small fluffy kitten she was to him, and lay a warm, affectionate nuzzle of his nose right against the top of her head!

" You really should take a break more often. You know that, right? You've gotta pick and choose your battles more carefully, kitten. You're gonna miss something good around here someday 'cause you don't. "

Don't read into that too much, Sera! Just soak up his body heat like the heated pillow he's supposed to be right then!

reblog this if you're fine with your mutuals sending you asks unprompted

[sakurarisen]

This update is taking longer than expected due to a mutltitude of offline reasons slowing me WAY down, but I've gotten SOME progress done on it, at least! Notably the following: -Sera's rules have been updated! Most of what's been changed involve noting I'm not going to be holding back or hiding that she does have access to magic even while sealed/as Sera and will use it if need be; I've come to realize I'm quite tired of trying to weaken my muses for the sake of making others comfortable, and won't anymore. Everything else is small wording changes, like fixing up and noting things regarding to Shayan, adding a note to not send me leaks and spoilers about upcoming Genshin content/please tag your leaks, rewording things for easier reading, and so forth.

-This doesn't mean Sera's strength level has changed! Sera is about as strong as Zack in regards to her magic/bow use as far as FF7 settings are concerned, and is just under the level of an archon in regards to Genshin settings, for an example of how strong her magic and bow skills are. So long as Aria, her actual, true self, is sealed up, this is about the level her magic can get to, and trying to use anything stronger is pushing herself too far. I've just gotten tired of making it seem like she's not this strong for other people to be interested in her, even if that's not all THAT strong to start with. <3

-Rules now reflect that I use 'verse' and 'setting' interchangably due to the overall lore of the blog; every verse/setting is just another of Sera/Aria's lifetimes, so I just use them both. <3

-Also noted in rules is that I don't use AI, and will hardblock if I catch a partner using it to write/for graphics. If I happen to reblog something that's used it, it's most likely I didn't realize it, and would appreciate a heads up so I can remove it.

-After much plotting and discussion with @yoroiis, Mydei has been added to things as Sera's canonical nephew in every verse/setting. Sera isn't always aware Mydei is her nephew and even when she is, she isn't aware he's her brother's son from Halcyon or has technically survived since its fall, with Spellbound being the current sole exception verse. She knows he's someone who means a great deal to her, however, and Shayan is aware from Mydei/other sources he's his cousin, but they can't tell you who his parents are outside of Halcyon and Spellbound verses.

I still have a fair bit to update, including finishing updating both Sera and Shayan's carrds, an updated relationships page, and the divergences, but this is at least a start~! <3

[lunabyssdraws]

Ref sheet number two goes to Sera! <3 With the rehaul her design has had, she, too, was wildly overdue for something like this - But unlike Mako's, this is going to ultimately be one of many for Sera. I eventually plan on adding to this with several more for her primary outfits, her Genshin setting appearance, and especially one sheet for her as Aria during Halcyon, and that's just the bare minimum! So needless to say, Sera and her references themselves are a side project I'll be poking on for quite a while~!

Not shown here are Sera's tattoos (one of which I'm in the process of hopefully finding someone/a friend to draw for me, considering I can't figure out how to myself), the pale blue 'scratches' that eventually form her wing markings on her back with intense use of her magic, the hair clip that holds her braids in place on the back of her head, a blue crystal heart pendant that sits on the same chain as her wing pendant, and her engagement/wedding ring. While my art skills have grown considerably in the last few years, there are still some things I can't draw as a novice! <3

But this is a start, at least, of so much more to come! <3

[warofthebeasts]

But he likes the popcorn...

[sakurarisen]

She can butter and salt the danish? It's better for you thanks - Wait, how many bags of popcorn has he had already?

"Seph, please-"

[warofthebeasts]

He's eating plain popcorn. Ignore the three other empty popcorn bags. A man's hungry.

[sakurarisen]

Absolutely not. She's not letting anyone else have the same diet as her husband and son. Nope. You're going to take this basket of apple danish instead, Seph-

Which video game character do you most identify with (and why, if you like)?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

I wasn't answering these just because rp blog, but this one made me smile and want to <3 Ash from Concrete Genie, made by PixelOpus (rip). We've both been through severe bullying and even abuse at the hands of those bullies (being jumped and beaten, having things thrown at us, the insults and yelling and cruelty...), and both turned to art in some form to help deal with it. For Ash, that meant drawing and painting, and for me, that was also drawing, but also writing; Like him, I've created entire fantastical worlds to lose myself in as a means of dealing with the pain left behind, both to cope and to get it out before it consumed me in some form, and that's led to countless stories - Not all of which I've shared.

Sera is to me what Luna is to Ash. My notebooks and my sketchbooks to his sketchbook. My pencils to his paintbrush. Ash's story makes me cry every time I play through it because I feel so connected to him through it and been through many of the same experiences with bullies, I can't help it. I will always and forever love Concrete Genie, Ash, and the world he inhabits. <3

Zack had actually been proud of himself! He'd played the morning extremely nonchalant, letting Sera go about her day without so much as slipping a smile that'd give away his intentions. The worst thing he'd done was trail after her like a lost puppy waiting for a head pat -- but that much wasn't too unusual for him either.

It wouldn't be until they'd heard a knock at the door would Zack block her way past him, refusing to let her go. His move would be paired with a sweet grin before he'd duck down, grab Sera up by her waist with a laugh, and peck the warmest kiss he could muster right against lips all but ready to scream at him.

"C'mon, kitten! Don't think I forgot what day it was already! I know you don't like making a big deal outta your birthday, but you didn't even ask me if I had anything special planned!" Zack would feign a small pout at that. "You really don't think I'm still that hopeless, do you?"

Of course she didn't, but he had to make this fun! One more feather soft kiss and Zack would have Sera back on her feet in front of him; his hands playfully perched on his hips.

"Actually, don't answer that -- but just know I do have plenty of stuff planned for today though! Can't let the world's best girl go unnoticed on her birthday, right? So just trust me on this one~"

It's a Sera's birthday! (3/29)

In Zack's defense, Sera hadn't much minded - Her birthday was just another day as far as she was concerned, though she'd also be lying if she said it hadn't started to come with a little bit of excitement in recent years. Never knowing what her family and friends had planned, the chance to spend quiet, quality time with them, the broad, sweet smile it put on Zack's lips especially... Even so, she'd expected nothing for the day, taking her morning like she always did, complete with a few stops to giggle and give her puppy-like husband a pat on the head. Just another typical morning!

But... She'd also be lying if she said she wasn't, on some level, a little dissappointed, too. Most years, he'd woken her on her birthday with a kiss and a whisper in her ear of happy birthday - a quick jump to acknowledge the day before anyone else could get a chance to. A jump he hadn't done this year, nevermind at any point since... He hadn't forgotten. Zack would never forget, especially considering he never let her forget. This was a day always more important to him than her...

...Wasn't it?

By the time the knock on the door had rung out, Sera had gotten so lost in her own thoughts on the matter, she'd slipped into an 'automated' mindset, wandering around their home tending to whatever she could much like she often did when overwhelmed, just without the clear stress and stiff movements that oftentimes accompanied it. She could just ask Zack, sure, but that meant acknowledging that maybe, just maybe the day wasn't just 'another day', and was she ready for that, really-?

Deciding she wasn't, she'd tried to slip past her husband for the door, careful steps blocked each and every time without fail by his far larger frame. He was stubborn about this, Sera decided; what in the world could there be at the door he didn't want her to know about? Didn't he realize they had to answer the door? It could've been someone coming for their services, or a delivery, or even a friend! They had to answer, she needed to get by - Why wasn't he letting her by!?

Her answer came paired with a call of a 'delivery' from the door, quickly gone forgotten about in Zack's quick snatch of her right up off the floor for a kiss that near immediately calmed every frazled nerve in the blonde's body and replaced it with a familiar warmth, and if it hadn't, his smile most certainly would've! There wasn't much his enthusiasm couldn't melt away for her, though she still wasn't about to tell him just why she'd been lost in her thoughts, either!

"...You don't usually miss any chance to yell it from the mountaintops," she'd remind after a moment, leaning into his second kiss the best she could before he'd put her back down on her own two feet. Maybe he wouldn't mind if she asked for her gift to be more of those kisses...? Even parted as they were, her lips still tingled and warmth still coursed through her veins; did he have any idea yet just what his love did to and for her~? "So I wouldn't say you're hopeless, just... Really good at being sneaky."

Hopeless implied he'd forgotten. Hopeless implied he didn't care enough to remember. Hopeless implied a man who would have just shrugged and found her flowers to make up for it. Zack Fair was anything but hopeless, and Sera wouldn't waste any time in reminding him of that by laying her palms against his chest, rocking up onto her toes to press in a soft kiss of her own to his lips, tingles rushing throughout her form with the contact. He wasn't hopeless... He was sweet, her forehead coming down to lay against him once she'd lowered back down, eyes drifting closed.

Best Girl. Kitten. He was never shy with nicknames and titles, yet this time they'd quieted the birthday girl, relishing in his closeness. A day of plans and time with him... She couldn't think of a better gift than him, arms curling around him, lips curling into a soft, content smile.

"I trust you, Puppy... Always. I love you."

Thank you for making everything in this world brighter than any star or sun could ever hope to be.

A work in progress from my sketchbook of birthday art for my sweet kittylike Fenix, Sera! <3 March 29th is my girl's birthday, and with my art skills slowly progressing, I thought this was the year to put them to the test and give her a proper birthday art like she deserves, though theres no way I'll have this done by the end of the day, unfortnately... But I can at least share a wip! <3

Happy birthday, my little kittybirb~ <3

[itadakimasu-letmeeat]

[sakurarisen]

Just as a heads up, tomorrow, March 29th, is Sera's birthday! <3 I'm trying to get the updates I've been working on between offline stuff done by then, but whether they are or aren't, I'm gonna be lowkey celebrating my girl's birthday! As always, I'll be tagging things pertaining to it with 'A Kitty's Birthday', so if you have no interest in seeing anything of the sort, that's the tag to blacklist~
