kim yoohyeon. thirty three. non-binary. they/them. demiromantic pansexual libra. ☾ *ﾟ is that sera ‘zelda’ graves-seong behind the mask? whenever i see the radio host for 107.5 black dragon pearl, twitch streamer, and guitarist for vain rogues & ghost orchestra in pigalle, i think of house on a hill by the pretty reckless. rumor has it they are eccentric & loyal, but smothering & vengeful can be their fatal flaws. what their neighbors in other ( commune of coubron ) call them is the silver fox.
to consider sera’s childhood life a bundle of TANGLED MESS would be a gigantic understatement. their father passed when they were young and their mother had to raise them on their own in korea until she stumbled upon an enchanting man that she fell in love with after years of mourning over her husband. the two bonded and later, she found out that he was the head of twili family, of all things, which dumbfounded her but it had never halted the two and they eventually married. the mother and sera moved to the country, and sera was eventually considered as heir,
sera never minded and they weren’t necessarily impressed ether by it, or at least, they hadn’t been old enough to be analytical of their upbringing with their parents other than that the fleeting sensation of confinement here and there. something always seemed a bit amiss about the place, however, there were hushed encounters and people with crooked grins that domineered over the pair, but sera had always been lethargic about it. they weren’t all that interested in many ordinary things either, spending most of their time in their room either working on music or dissecting bugs which had crawled the walls instead of their duties. it wasn’t to say they were anti-social either, they knew how to play the part of being an amicable host, it was just not a lot of things kept their attention.
when travelling years later, sera stumbled upon DUSTIN GRAVES-SEONG at a circus. fascinated by his performance and the concept of circuses in general, they stayed until the show ended to speak to him behind the scene. there was an instant connection between the two and a kindling relationship, sera ultimately succumbed their first time to him that night and it was something that they had never regretted. however, they were not able to stay, though their feelings for him remained for a long time ahead.
the wealthy family’s supposed peace was, however, abruptly lacerated when an attack ensued and their parents were murdered in the process; sera witnessed with their own naked eyes the way their bodies had fallen limp, but before they were able to react much, they were ushered to safety to ensure the empire could be rescued.
too young to live on their own, sera was passed off to their strapped aunt; a middle-school english teacher who also worked as a prostitute at night. their aunt, while deep down unable to raise a child, lapped up the opportunity as she was promised the remaining of sera’s parents’ income. sera once again was emotionless to the toxicity that household possessed. they would watch their aunt come home with her clients late at night and some decided to even stick around at times, occasionally throwing inappropriate jabs at them.
sera was introduced very early to the realm of careless sex and drugs despite their feelings for dustin, in a way, the lifestyle assisted them in perceiving the world a lot less like an unexciting playground. their aunt wasn’t necessarily the best parental figure, and allowed sera to dig deeper and deeper into their vices. even thinking at one point that they’d somehow helped in bringing more client. eventually they reached a point where sera was pretty much sold around, whilst their aunt reaped the benefits. to those who had seen the heir before, they were not able to recognize them anymore, already cocked-up with everything that their aunt had molded.
their life twisted again when a client stumbled in and turned out to be a major television producer, and offered sera a place in their dating show. they agreed to participate, and here, they were reunited once more with dustin. it was as if fate had indeed desired for them to be together, as dustin ended up being their match. after completing the show, the two affirmed their relationship and then married, resulting in their first son JUNGWOON GRAVES-SEONG.
sera later reconnected with the producer, concerned that their income might not be fitting enough for a life together, and he introduced them to an owner of up-and-coming music label which aimed to experiment with pop-metal genre. though dubiety was quite apparent, they eventually agreed to sign the contract. sera soon clambered in reputation, and became a rather well-known sensation due to their skills and unique approach. luxury and fame were handed to them but they all did not come without a price.
not only did they begin to receive continuous inappropriate advances, they also later found out that their boss became obsessed with them and the money they brought. he didn’t plan of letting them go ever, and started straining them from their own family - including threats to their family if they did not stick around. perhaps their biggest loss occurred when jungwoon began to get ill for unknown reasons, his ailment worsened each day and they were constricted from him by their boss. jungwoon, unable to endure, then passed, sending both of the parents into spiral. still clenched within the boss’ grip, sera was still not permitted to leave and threat fell back on their spouse this time. with a heightening tension, overwhelming grief, and misbehaviors, the couple decided to split.
while they might have been aloof at the beginning, sera eventually cracked under the pressure of their loss, sinking more into the hellious pit where they started to overwork themselves in order to forsake the memories of crooked hands touching them, dusty disappearing, and the last breaths of their son. they began to experience issues with their severe loss of weight, and their drug consumption further stacked. their name was tainted on its own when they experienced minor accidents in public; drunken antics, temperamental outbursts. continuously losing their grip, they had to be burdened by more complaints from the peers and even more pull and shove.
fortunately, the separation itself didn’t last long as fate once again, eventually bound the mourning parents together. they were reunited with dusty, and their anguish towards each other eventually faded. despite this, they continued to propel downwards as dustin joined them in adventurous thrills, including robberies and unspoken crimes. engulfed in eventual remorse and guilt for what they had done, sera was later discovered overdosing at the penthouse of their then-roommate, ziv, and was tended to the hospital. eventually, they gradually began to mend their ways and agreed to couple counseling with dusty, to pierce back together what had been shattered.
after a sudden, mysterious death of their ceo, the label dispersed altogether. sera opted to retire entirely from the mainstream music industry and resuming the counseling, they moved back in with dusty. there, they rekindled their marriage through knots and obstacles, and sera was determined to not mess up again. when they became pregnant again and agreed to keep the child, they realized this was the life they had always yearned; not all the fame that had raptured them.
these days, sera finds themself working as a streamer, radio host, and performing with their band if they have an active schedule, but most of the time they prefer to remain at home with their spouse and finding relishment in domescity bliss for the first time.
