seeing spirit leading the story in the latest chapter was nice, will we learn more about her, backstory wise? afaik, all we know is she was captured by bandits and is repaying reader by helping her, and will eventually see reader as a sister figure. she doesn't speak monkey, so that most likely means she doesn't have a troop right? who did spirit grow up with?
Oho. Now this is fun! Spirit's backstory is mostly a mystery to most people because she is a lone monkey demoness. She does have family, but she never talks to them. (Mostly because she doesn't know most of them)
Spoilers below on her backstory. You know I probably should add these cuts for most questions... eh it's fine.
Spirit is the daughter of a monkey demon and a human woman. They weren't in love, far from it they simply wanted a one night stand (or rather they both got drunk and ended up having a one night stand). So after they were done the demon left and never came back.
The woman Chu Lin gave birth to a single monkey cub, whom she raised with love and care. Being human she had no idea about monkey customs, so she never taught her daughter about it since she didn't know about them. Like at all.
Which results in Spirit, not knowing how to speak monkey, 'properly groom' (she does it instinctively but was never taught so it's not proper) and she was shunned by the village along with her mother.
Because she and her mother were outcasted from their home, Spirit didn't like humans. Except when they traveled she met several who had no problems with her appearances and looks. So she saw people as just that people both good and bad. She knows you can't judge a book by it's cover ever.
Along their travel to find a new home, they came across a forest. One with a very playful six tailed fox demoness named Su. A demoness skilled in fire, lighting, and a few glamours. She lived in the forest for a long while before they traveled through. She played several pranks on the two as they passed through but decided just before they could leave to give Spirit a gift. She taught her how to use glamours, just enough to make her look human.
Because of this, her mother and her were finally able to settle down in a human village for a while. There, her mother met a man that she fell in love with. They got married rather quickly, and Spirit decided that it was then that she should leave. Her mother was safe and taken care of, she was now an adult and could take care of herself too.
She stayed for the wedding of course and got to see them after their honeymoon. After they saw each other one last time once their honey moon was over though, she left. She gave her mother a gift, a small Jade pin in the shape of a monkey and just left. (She did say goodbye and their were tears)
The reason she wanted to leave was to find her father, the man who helped give her life. She needed to learn more about her home and culture. So she set off to learn about her own kind, with a bow and her glamours she was she that she could do this.
However, there was an accident. She ran into a demon who was rather powerful. After fighting for a while, she got knocked out and lost most of her memories. So she doesn't remember anything about her Iife before the fight. All she remembers is that she got into a fight with a golden monkey demon.
She began to travel after she woke up. The demon was long gone by then. It's about two years before she gets ambushed by the bandits, and in that time, she learns several things about life. So that's why she's not running around trying to remember her life because she's already tried and failed. So she wanders the world searching for... something. What was she searching for?
Until she gets ambushed by bandits. She is pissed off by this, of course. They had ambushed her while she was sleeping and stole her bow! So now she has put her mission on hold to help a human. At least she's a very nice human, so she doesn't mind it too much.
Besides, maybe she'll be able to find her memories with the help of this human. After all, she did appear out of nowhere. Though she doesn't get her hopes up with this.
Of course that is until the monkeys cubs get involved. She doesn't mind cubs truly she doesn't. She normally likes them not quite love because she's not good with kids but she likes them. But something about these two... it's just so something... she can't quite put her finger on it. Especially with how they are getting clingyer and clingyer by the day.
She gets annoyed at the two often and at times wants to just toss them aside. Of course, they don't really give her that chance and try their best to hog reader all for themselves. Not that they'll try to do anything to Spirit, she is the provider that gets most of the food for Reader after all.
Eventually, she'll meet her dad (on a certain island) and learn he has a mate, who he got together with after the whole one night stand. And she'll learn that she has two siblings, who are very keen on the idea of a big sister. Her father's mate is even welcoming to her, much to her surprise.
After all if that was her dad, and that was his mate. But his mate isn't her mother than... who is her mother?
I loved this ask! Please send more my way if you want. No pressure it just helps me think on my stories and no I did not just come up with her backstory (I totally did, but I like it so meh!)
Also, if you wanna learn about Su, then send an ask. She's gonna be popping up in the story too later. @sleepingdramaqueen has heard about her before. Hehe~
And yes, I will add more to this backstory, but I just came up with it, so yeah. I'm debating on if I'm gonna mate her ace or give her a love interest. So far, she doesn't have one (if you have any suggestions for one, though send them my way!!)
Hello, I sent in an ask a while back and idk if it went through, or if my potato wifi ate it, or if Tumblr ate it, or if you're holding it for later, or if I accidentally committed a serious case of foot in mouth without realising it and you just deleted the ask.
As I am on anon, you can't tell which is the question I asked, or even if you have received it, without me resending it. As the asker, I have no way of knowing if it landed into your inbox if you don't acknowledge it.
In this event, what should I, as an anon asker do? I don't want to flood your inbox when you are busy, or make you feel obligated to answer an ask, but at the same time it's difficult to tell if my potato connection ate the ask or if you just binned the ask because of any potential faux pas i might have committed. Does Tumblr still eat asks?
Should i try and resend asks after a set period of time?(One week, two weeks, a month?) Or should I assume a question to be binned after a while?
In the event I did a bad in the ask, (I sent in an ask if you had pictures/art of Chu Spirit, your OC. I wrote it half asleep so it probably had very bad grammar and/or autocorrect)I am very very sorry and didn't mean it. I can’t remember what exactly I wrote, or what part could be the issue but I am very sorry if it came through as mean or rude.
In the event it was just a case of never hitting your inbox, I guess I've re-sent the ask in this, and hopefully you will see it this time?
In the unlikely event that you already answered the ask and this was simply a case of me being as blind as a bat, know that I will simply perish from the sheer embarrassment.
I hope you have a lovely day. Do not feel like you have to reply if you do not want to.
In this case, the best thing you can do is send the ask a few times. If someone is not an anon, they can send me a DM or comment or send the ask again. If you flood my inbox, then I'll answer one and delete the rest. I don't see a big deal in that personally, but I know some people find it annoying.
No, I haven't answered that ask. I know I didn't delete it, and I couldn't find it. So I don't believe I got it at all.
As for the question, no, I don't have any pictures of Spirit. He probably should draw some, but I'll probably do that later. Maybe. Sorry to disappoint. Also thank you for pointing that out because yeah, I never received it.
Okay, so I woke up when my sister had to leave to go with her dad, and I ate breakfast, then I drove my mom to the tortilleria (stereotpe, anybody? Yep.), then to the meat amrket store, then back home. I sat down to write and then my mom left for work and I kept writing. I can write for hours because I listen to music and scroll through tumblr every now and then. Then I made food for my brother and started writing again after we watched two episodes of The Loud House. Then I took a break and sketched a bit. Now I’m just interacting with my tumblr friends because it’s nice.
Sorry my life isn’t very interesting.
what is something you want to try for the first time?
