daitens regeneration comes from her blood quirk. it’s an evolvement and adaptation ( meaning, the regeneration is not a part of the quirk itself and can’t be taken away ) of the quirk users body, whereas the user would’ve suffer extreme blood loss when or if they use their quirk.
while the user can still feel the affects of blood loss, it is far less fatal due to the user not using the entirety of the bodies blood volume, with an ability to create blood more quickly. however, this adaptation makes it easier to develop the symptoms of or, if the quirk is taken away, a blood cancer called polycythemia vera.
these symptoms include : skin itchiness and redness, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, and numbness, tingling, burning or weakness in their hands, feet, arms or legs. it can also cause scarring in the bone marrow.
michelle yawned as she sat in her favorite chair in the coffee shop, curled into a ball as she watched whatever stupid video was playing on her youtube app. she pulled her hair to one side, only for a good amount of her hair to just shed into her hand. “aw, fuck...” she muttered. @mochahqstarters
— What’s ARIANA GRANDE doing in LOS ANGELES ?? Oh! That’s just ELVIRA LANE the 25 year old who lives in LA! On the outside looking in everything is perfect - but nothing is ever as it seems. They are hiding SHE HAS LEUKEMIA. Yikes! I hope that doesn’t spread to the neighbors!
she's style... she's grace... she's in your face. this gir is confrontational as F U C K. if you say something about her or her family she'll go up to you (all 4'10" & 92 pounds of her) all "what did you say? you wanna talk shit? talk it then bitch. nothing to say now? that's what i thought, keep my fucking name out of your mouth while you're still able to speak". very very... mouthy.
she's also violent. sheee has been in many physical fights (both won and lost) and will not hesitate, bitch.
she CAN be nice, and there are people who have only seen the nice side. but there are also people who have only seen her bitchy side and those people are most likely her enemies.
she's very sarcastic and can be short with people (not just in height). she's not a huge talker unless you KNOW each other, so if you ask her an elaborate question but it's easy to answer, you're gonna get a "yes" or a "no". straight to the point.
she owns her own hair/tattoo/piercing shop. how does she own her own business at only 25 years old? easy. she went to cosmetology school and took art classes, along with training classes. she knew she wanted to do at least one of those things later on in the future so she prepared herself ahead of time and did all three at the same time. she became an apprentice at a piercing studio and was quick to make friends with the owner at the time. the owner was wanting to expand, but didn't know what to do for the bigger half of the studio. elvira suggested making it a hair salon and just have them separated by a breezeway entrance, the owner thought that was a fantastic idea and thus the hair salon was made. because it was elvira's idea, the owner gave her part ownership of the salon and the tattoo/piercing shop, but when he retired, he left the entire business to her and she became the sole owner and changed the name to "life in the fast lane" (cause her last name is lane... get it? i know, it was bad)
something people might notice about elvira that really sticks out is her hair. ever since she was old enough, she started bleaching and dying her hair crazy colors. it's a normal occurrence to see her with green blue and yellow hair. but now it's more frequent. almost as if it's every other day. and people talk. people talk a LOT. some talk shit and say she's going to ruin her hair (which she did, she fucked it up with all that bleach), others say it's not her hair and that she's using wigs or extensions.
the only person that currently knows about her leukemia is her twin. she hasn't told the other lanes yet because she didn't want to scare them. but now that she's starting treatment and feeling worse, she knows the'll start asking questions and she doesn't want to lie to them.
if you see her around town wearing a surgical mask, mind your business.
her personality has toned down a lot. treatment is taking a lot out of her and it's noticeable that she's changed. some are genuinely worried about her and others don't give a shit, they think she's faking depression for attention (she's not above doing that, but she's not doing it).
she's been in the hospital a lot lately and when she isn't there, she's at home complaining about the way food tastes.
sooo even though she's a major bitch in general, she's going to need friends. like real friends that she's known forever, friends from the hospital (not just cancer patients), stuff like that. i'm sure the news about her cancer is going to get out, so i would even be down for a plot where someone befriends her because they pity her, and even an enemy turned friend. so with that said, this is elvira and i would love to plot so please hit me up!

oh my gosh, am i crazy or did i just see XAVIER SERRANO jamming out to CHANGED by BAZZI ? wait nevermind, i think that’s just AVERY YBARRA . pretty sure i heard they’re known around hollywood as THE CONNARD. while that is a broad term, it makes sense because they’re known around hollywood for being HEDONISTIC but can also be CALLOUS. which makes total sense after seeing everything prominence insider has posted on their site about them. + missed calls at 2am, tangled knots of headphones, burnt matchsticks, well worn leather jackets, there are pasts inside they, do it out of spite. ◜ lina. 21. gmt. she/her. ◞
in a quaint yet suburban town located on outskirts of barcelona , spain lived alejandro castillo , a recent high school graduate & current owner of the castillo residence . he’d call it a home , but he wouldn’t label a 100 square meter foundation a home . the castillos never had an easy life , & as the only child of his late parents he was left with the entirety of their his family’s fortune . or so , how little of the fortune they had left . alejandro was a level headed young man who had worked hard in school & had a weekend job to pay off the bills , & with little family he was left alone in the big city to find a stable future & work through his grief . he had three , very important steps to follow : get drunk ; it wouldn’t cost too much for a pint of flaherty’s finest bitter , right ? buy a car ; although he had little money to play around with , his inherited money was enough for him to buy an beaten down toyota 4runner . then , get a girl ; it was a common necessity back then , but who would want a struggling mechanic who was left to live his lonely life ?
in a more upstate area in barcelona , victoria de la rosa resided with her parents & three siblings . now , the de la rosa’s were not by any means considerably wealthy , but they were comfortable . their children were educated in some of the best schools in barcelona & had full scholarships for college . in conclusion , victoria had a good life , but she wasn’t spoiled about it . a modest & kind young lady , she accepted everyone no matter their status & lived somewhat an idealistic life . everyone expected her to do well in life , to marry someone who could treat her the way she deserved to be treated . her parents , who had even higher expectations would cast her off to have meals with already successful young men , but victoria didn’t care about success . success , to her , was three notches short of happiness & if you’re not happy , then what are you doing ? her whole life , she told herself that happiness comes first & success comes later , so she would quickly send who her parents considered to be eligible candidates on their way with that delicate smile of hers .
the day that victoria met alejandro castillo , her whole world changed . he was everything he parents didn’t want her to be with . he didn’t have a lot money , a flashy car or an expensive house . but what he was brave & determined , thoughtful & fair . it was these traits , rather than the little fortune he had behind him that made victoria fall in love so easily & undeniably . within a year , the pair were married , but the wedding wasn’t exactly what would be called ‘ traditional ’ . in fact , it was just the two of them & two witnesses in barcelona’s registration office . it wasn’t decorated with pretty flowers & silk sheets draped over chairs , with hundreds of guests holding back the tears as vows were exchanged , but it was everything they could hope for . on the contrary , victoria’s parents were not happy at all . not just in her choice of the wedding venue but the man she chose to dedicate the rest of her life to . so , as some form of punishment , they cut off her funding & left her to her own devices . but victoria was happy regardless .
the happy couple lived in the castillo home for a couple of years , & after victoria had caught on a stable job & they had a good influx of money to keep them on their feet , they decided to invest in a bigger home . it wasn’t much bigger , but it was a house a lot more fitting for their growing family . after all , victoria was pregnant with their first child , & with that comes a responsibility & the need for a lot more room . the pregnancy was tumultuous & complicated at times , but when it was good , it was incredible . the problems became defeated by the pure happiness that came with feeling their baby kick in victoria’s belly for the first time , or feeling it have hiccup after hiccup . it was a long nine months of waiting for the day to finally come , & after they had both agreed not to find out the gender of their first born , the day their baby was born was the happiest date of their life . it was at 02:51 AM on september the 2nd , 1994 , that matías castillo was born .
as a child , he was vibrant & playful . always curious about his next adventure & finding new ways to entertain himself . he was close to his father ; attached to his hip & striving to be more like him , a man who had recently succeeded in his mechanic’s degree after years of trying & only just catching a stable job . but no matter how close he was to his father , matías would forever be his mother’s son . she was his angel , or so he saw her . she was kind & she would teach him to be so . she would easily talk to strangers & he’d follow suit , wanting people to look at him the same way they looked at her . even with his sisters , he was kind . when they were born , he assumed the role of the protective older brother , & despite the odd few debacles that every single sibling has , he still adored them . the family were as what people would say , like a pack of wolves . everything they did , they did it together & even though they didn’t have a lot , they had each other & that was all they needed .
in school , matías excelled in everything he did . he was one of the top pupils in all his classes & was a good , respectable student . especially in food technology . when he was young , he used to stand at the kitchen counter , peering over the top to see what his mother was cooking & over time , it became his passion . most boys his age were into sports & computer games , but all matías cared about was the smell of bread baking in the oven or the satisfied smiles on his family’s faces as he created yet another delicious meal . he became quite good at it , & despite how proud he was of his skills he felt alone in school . nobody understood what it was about cooking that made him feel so fulfilled , & despite his mother’s constant reassurance that it didn’t matter as long as he was happy , he distanced himself from the oven & focused on computer science instead . it didn’t provide the same form of contentment as cooking did , but it was enough to occupy his mind & make him fit in .
but it wasn’t all plain sailing , especially for the castillos . not long after matías’s fourteenth birthday , victoria was rushed in to hospital due to unexplained nose bleeds & weight loss , which both led to an incredibly low blood pressure & a worrying amount of dizziness . after hours worth of blood tests & different types of medical examinations , the family were faced with the distressing news that their beloved mother & wife was showing symptoms of acute leukemia . after more tests & scans were ran , the diagnosis was confirmed & the severity of the condition rattled the family as a whole , no more than matías . he spent hours locked away in his room , trying to come to terms with the the news while his mother received failing treatment . the leukemia had spread too far , reaching to her vital organs & they knew then that it was too late . on august the 21st , victoria castillo passed away with one final request to her son : take care of the family .
the castillos were overcome with grief , which each of them handled in their own way . the girls delved into their school work as a form of distraction . matías kept his promise & took care of the family . he cooked them meals , made sure his sisters were getting to school on time & made sure his father didn’t drown himself in the amount of alcohol he’d been consuming since the funeral . in little to no time at all , he became the man of the family despite only being a young teen in high school , but he tried his best however hard it was . their mother had managed to save up quite a collection of money for them throughout the years , but it didn’t take long for their father to make that disappear on what he would call ‘ necessities ’ that he’d hide from his children too quickly for them to have a good look . as suspicious as he was , matías knew he couldn’t spend too much time pondering over it because his father had quit his job , & they had no other form of income to see them through .
for a little while , the family were slowly sinking towards the way of poverty , & matías was struggling to find ways to provide for them . he tried cleaning windows , washing neighbours cars , but none of the money he earned could provide enough for a house of four . but he was a smart & determined kid , with knowledge way beyond his years & after trying & trying & trying , he found a solution . or more so , the solution found him . the solution being one of his classmates wanting unwarranted access to a friend’s phone . matías wasn’t a computer expert , but he knew his way around programs & after learning of his mother’s condition , he lashed out a little in school & managed to unlock certain websites that were previously banned from the school network . although the school board were quick to notice & shut down the sites again , they never found the culprit , but that didn’t mean the students had no idea who did it .
at first , matías declined . he had so much to worry about already that he did not need someone wanting to find out their friend’s personal information being on his shoulders . but once a good lump sum of money was brought to the table , he had no choice but to agree . after all , it was only one person , right ? if only that were true . after succeeding in gaining the information his classmate asked for , word got out & suddenly he had a whole list of people wanting him to access someone’s system for one reason or another . over time , he became quite good at it & earned a lot of money . money which his father used to pay for the debt his children didn’t know about . no matter how much he earned , through what he’d call his extra curricular activity , it would go in alejandro’s back pocket until he was waist height in debt that he had no choice but to admit where the money was really going . after all , matías had already spotted the bags of powder & pills his father had attempted to stash away , which he had skilfully ignored .
uncovering their father’s drug addiction caused a further rift between the family & matías decided he had had enough . after graduating high school , he had good enough grades to further his education & achieve his bachillerato certificate in food technology , pursuing his dream career & fulfilling his mother’s expectations of him . he even got a part time job working as waiter in the a nearby restaurant , telling himself that if he could keep this up for another couple of years , he’d be able to leave spain & his estranged family behind . he didn’t tell his father about his job , however . he used enough money to provide for the family but the rest was stored away somewhere safe for later use , & after he had earned his certificate , matías booked a flight & earned a place in an american university majoring in food tech & left his old life behind him without so much as a good bye .
for months , he had to swallow his guilt for leaving his family . after all , he made a promise to his mother & broke it by leaving his family in the thousands of euros of debt his father had landed them in . but he wasn’t happy ; matías wasn’t happy being branded as a castillo . he didn’t want to have any ties to his family so after a few months of living in the US , he decided to change his name . it took a lot of back & forth throwing of different names but after a while of deciding , he settled on avery ybarra . nobody would ever suspect he was a castillo with that name , or so , that’s what he was hoping for . living in a different country was refreshing ; he was free to do what he wanted to do & what he wanted to do was cook . but he needed to work up to the position he wanted . he already had experience as a waiter , so getting a job in that department was easy , but it was soon noticed that he was more than just taking orders & bringing out dishes . he’d often critique the food that was being sent out , which at first his boss found annoying until he realised that the customers were complaining of the same thing , & promoted avery to chef de partie as a roundsman .
his newly accounted role in the restaurant boosted sales , & his talent was noticed by many . so much so that his colleagues , well aware of his passion for food persuaded him to apply for hell’s kitchen’s 14th season . as reluctant as he was , he eventually applied & was accepted as one of the contestants . the competition was tough , but he battled through each challenge like a champion & gained a mass following on his instagram , if not for his youthful looks then it was his attitude in the kitchen . but eventually , on june the 9th 2015 , he was crowned the youngest winner of hell’s kitchen . after that , he worked closely with joël robuchon , a world renowned french chef who’s dishes avery was in awe of but he was also awarded a grand total of $250,000 to do with what he pleased . he planned to buy a nice home , a decent car & put some money to one side so he could eventually purchase his own restaurant . but his father had other words .
after his victorious win , avery ybarra was a name everyone knew . young , promising , & strikingly handsome , he was popular among many . but back home , his family still knew him as matías . so , in return for his family to not expose who he actually was , his father proposed a deal : pay off his debt , give them a comfortable amount of money to live with , & then they’d have nothing to do with him again . avery did not think it through too much . after all , how much debt could his father had gotten them into within such a short space of time ? his first mistake was underestimating his father’s addiction , & after paying off the debt & giving them a lump sum to spend in their bank accounts , he was left with next to nothing . avery felt sad , manipulated & above all betrayed . he never trusted his father to begin with , & there was a good reason why .
* here’s where his secret goes but let’s say he got a lot of money *
at first , avery didn’t know what to do with the money . he just needed enough to get him off his feet . but after time , he did everything he had planned before . he had his nice apartment , his luxurious car , started constructing own restraurant , & a pile of designer clothes that eventually were given to him by brands over time . his following on social media kept growing & brands kept coming to him to promote their products , & suddenly avery didn’t need to do what he used to to gain money any more . he started a youtube channel where he would teach people how to cook , a channel that soon hit off & earned him more money over time . eventually , he settled into his new profit & his new life as avery ybarra . he wasn’t matías castillo any more , & it about time the world knew about it .
𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 .
due to the course his life took , avery has altered a lot through the years . when he was a child , he had a simplistic outlook on life & didn’t really take notice of a lot of things , mostly because he didn’t need to . now , avery is thoughtful . every decision he makes has to be well thought out before he can even consider carrying it out , mostly due to the fact that he doesn’t want to embarrass himself or come across as somebody who’s relatively useless . avery is also very critical of other people’s actions . he has this mindset where he believes he is superior to other people , & that often shines through in consistent eye rolling & only listening to half of what someone says before occupying his mind with something else . if he sees someone as being dull & boring , he’ll immediately shut off & act like they don’t exist because to him , they’re just wasting their time talking to him .
despite all this , however , avery is very humble about his career . he knows he’s a good cook ( after all , he won hell’s kitchen ! ) but he doesn’t let it get to his head . he knows he can be better & excel in it , so until he’s the best of the best , he’s not satisfied . he’s very ambitious & is not afraid to speak his mind if it means it’ll benefit him in some way . a lot of the time , he speaks his mind anyway . avery is a very outspoken individual , not afraid to voice his opinion no matter who agrees or disagrees . the fact of the matter is , he simply doesn’t care enough . people are generally irrelevant to him , especially if they serve no purpose in his life so it’s not uncommon for him to be rude & brash whenever he wants to be , even if it’s uncalled for . he doesn’t care about hurting other’s feelings , no matter the cost of it .
avery is also , despite popular belief , incredibly loyal . he’s not opposed to sleeping with strangers , but when he’s committed to something , he’s in it wholeheartedly until he loses interest or for whatever reason he can’t anymore . but , getting close to avery is very difficult . with him being a secretive individual , he tends to hide his thoughts & feelings so as a result , can come across as being quite fickle . he’s a man who knows what he wants in terms of his career & lifestyle , but in terms of everything else , he’s still not sure what exactly he’s searching for . he’s an aimless wanderer , meaning he travels a lot in order to gain more knowledge . be it in food or culture in general , avery is always keen to learn something new & bring it home to share with everyone else ( or those who he feels are deserving , that is ) .

“STOP IT! STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER! WHAT THE FUCK GOOD IS THAT GOING TO DO WHEN I’M SICK AGAIN?” Maya had been strong for all her friends and family in New York. But now that she was back at Ocean Park, once again with Leukemia, she finally broke down. Leo just happened to be the unlucky person to feel her wrath at the moment.
I haven't said anything in a while because my brother's been doing really well, but yesterday, he officially finished his maintenance treatment after 28 months! No more chemo, no more biopsies, no more going to oncology, nothing - the leukemia is all gone, he's totally clear, the doctors say it's never coming back. :) The oncology office where he was treating has a bell set up for patients to ring when they finish treatment, and he got to ring it yesterday; his wife took a video of it, and it was the best. He said there were times he thought he wouldn't get to, but he's so grateful to be here and to have had that opportunity. Thank you again to everyone who donated to him forever ago when this all started. Thank you to everyone who had him in your thoughts and prayers and everything. You guys are awesome and knowing people cared about him, even strangers on the internet, really helped him push through.
ariana grande / female — is that michelle katsopolis ordering a cinnamon twist frozen frappe at mocha ? i heard they’re a twenty-six year old cosmetologist/tattoo & piercing artist/vlogger. rumour has it she can be a little impulsive, but also compassionate. i guess that comes with being a cancer. they always make me think of baking ingredients scattered across a kitchen, colorful hair, sketchbooks full of doodles. i sure hope no one finds out she has aml leukemia. well, looks like their order’s up !
michelle will answer to pretty much anything you call her as long as it pertains to her name or is a nickname that you've given her
she basically lives at the coffee shop because she hates being cooped up at home, so she'd rather be cooped up at mocha instead
she's normally curled up in a chair reading a book. or sleeping. she sleeps a lot. if you find her on the couch asleep, just move her
michelle can be very intrusive. she's always curious and wants to know what's going on with everybody, but she's one of the rare people that doesn't spread rumors. when she hears one, she straight up asks the person it's about
she's also impulsive. she doesn't always think before she speaks or acts, but she never means to be malicious and never has ill intent
she can be a little dramatic in the way that she's very passionate about things
she can be very emotional about things
although nosy and dramatic, she's a sweetheart. she'll do anything she can to cheer someone up
michelle was diagnosed with aml (acute myeloid leukemia) just before christmas. she hasn't told anybody yet because she doesn't know how, but people that frequent the coffee shop and know her will probably notice that she's a bit different. she's really tired, she's lost some color, and she's starting to lose her hair due to the chemotherapy, so if you see a random piece of colorful hair just laying on the furniture, it's probably hers. she's been wearing hats lately, which is unlike her because she's always hated covering her hair because she likes to show it off (it brings her more business to the hair salon she owns/works at because she does her own hair), so anyone that knows her that sees her with a hat on will probably be suspicious
michelle loves to color. if she's not sleeping or reading, you'll find her coloring
she's also a flirt. she's gotten herself into some trouble with girlfriends, boyfriends, and wives in the past because she doesn't think to ask if someone is in a relationship before flirting with another person (although she hasn't flirted on purpose since she's been in a relationship)
she also flirts with her friends, but it's nothing serious. she just likes to play around
she wears a lot of onesies because she's always cold
michelle is a vlogger, so if you see her talking to her camera or her phone, she’s just filming a video
you can see a fun about page about michelle HERE, and a list of wanted connections HERE!
Lucas and Claus have a known maternal grandmother named Alexis. She was very nurturing to the twins when they were babies and happily babysat for Hinawa and Flint when they had things to do. The reason was so that she could spend as much time as she can possibly fit in because of her illness.
Alexis had Leukemia, and was told initially that she would never get meet her grandchildren. But with medicine she was able to live long enough for the twins’ first birthday. Sadly, not long after she passed away from her condition. The last thing she did was give Lucas and Claus stuffed animals she made with love; the one she made for Lucas is actually the stuffed frog he carries around as a child and Claus was given a goat.
She had also made the toys as a way for the twins to know that she was there for such a short period in their lives; acknowledging that they wouldn’t be able to remember her. Alexis hoped that it would give them the feeling that their grandma always will love and support them; that she could be there in spirit when either twin was upset.
