I am obsessed with the song Idol of Yoasobi (again) and now I am imagining an Idol AU of Neo based on Oshi no Ko. First, I want to clarify that this is not a RWBY as Oshi no Ko characters. I am taking some elements of Oshi no Ko and Neo is somewhat based on Ai's story, but more oriented to her motivations and feelings than... well, the whole having babies at 16 years and dying at 20's.

There is some death and trauma thou.

With that being said, lets start!

Neo was born the daughter of Carmel and Jimmy Vanille, Trivia Vanille. From a young age, it was clear she wasn't able to speak, something her parents always hated her for.

Her mother worked with Lil Miss Malachite on Malachite's productions. The daughters of Lil Miss, Melanie and Miltia, were child stars, and Jimmy and Carmel wanted Trivia to be a child star too but "how can she be a star if she isn't able to speak?". And, as if that wasn't enough, she had heterochromia that her parents forced her to hide with brown contact lenses.

Another person that worked with Malachite was his right-hand Roman Torchwick, who organized the films, series, music groups, and even sometimes had to babysit the little monsters called Melanie and Miltia.

Because Trivia couldn't be the star they wanted, her parents cast her aside and never showed her any form of love. She didn't have any friends in school and when she was accompanying her mother to the productions, Miltia and Melanie used to bully her.

This led to Trivia never knowing what it was to be loved or what it was to love someone.

Trivia desired to be a star. An idol like the ones she heard, maybe if she was, then her parents would start to love her. But how could she be one if she wasn't able to talk not to say sing?

Despite that, she was very good at dancing! And sometimes she read the scripts of films and pretended to be many characters, saying the dialogue with sign language. She was very skilled but no one noticed.

Until someone did.

Roman was told to keep an eye on Trivia, but unlike Melanie and Miltia that were two demons disguised as humans, Trivia was always calm, obedient, and sweet. They didn't have much interaction, but he had some fondness for her and soon noticed her talents being wasted.

One day, he told Lil Miss to include Trivia in one movie. It took some time, but, because she wasn't going to play any major role, she agreed. Carmel was even more reluctant, but ended up saying yes due to her boss asking it.

Trivia didn't know what to think. All her life she had been told she couldn't be a star because of her muteness. Her parents hated her for that. And now she was going to act in a movie? What if she messed this up? What if they hated her even more? Roman noticed her nervousness and told her she had nothing to be afraid of. He gave Trivia the courage she needed and she did an amazing performance.

The movie was a success, and a lot of people talked about the little mute girl who added more fright to a movie already terrific.

Trivia was happy with her performance and soon started to play in more series and films. Always minor roles, but it was enough, for once in her life she was appreciated, even if it came from strangers she didn't know and never from her parents. She was told that she was loved. If only she knew what it meant, if she could only feel it.

Roman took her as his apprentice, and they started getting together more and more. With time, Trivia spent more time in Roman's house than she did on her own. He taught her everything he knew, and the two of them became very close. He always congratulated Trivia, and she always felt happy when being around him. Comfortable. Appreciated in a way she never felt with her parents.

Roman adored the girl. She always listened to him and took his advice to heart. She was fun to be around, they shared meals, pretended to play music together, he even learned sign language to communicate with her better. Still, he never showed her how much he loved her.

Because like Trivia, he didn't know the meaning of love. He grew on an orphanage, abandoned by his mother. Never knowing what it was to feel loved and to love someone.

What if he said "I love you" and it was a lie? One he knew a lot of famous people said to please their fans? One he told Trivia it was okay to say?

He saw her dancing to the songs of the famous group STRQ, Trivia's favorite. Roman knew that she had nothing to envy from them, Trivia was skilled and talented, one of a kind. If she were to be an idol, she would be the best one the world had seen. So he proposed it to her.

Trivia thought he had lost his mind.

Trivia, signing: Me? An idol? That's not possible. It's one thing to act in minor roles but, being in a group? You know I am not able to speak. How would I even sing?

Roman: There is plenty of technology. I am sure you would find some gadget to make a synthetic voice. Besides, your muteness would make you unique, think about it "The idol who made her way through music despite her muteness"

Trivia, signing: ...Even if that is true, I sure wouldn't be able to love fans, and sure they wouldn't love me. Idols are people who say I love you to the fans and so on, but if I said that I would be lying. When people say they loved my performance is okay, I don't have to answer. But as an idol...

Roman: So what's the problem? Lying is okay. In fact, pretty lies is what the fans want. Lying is a talent, you know? Is okay, lie as much as you want.

Trivia, signing: Would it really be okay? It's okay if I said "I love you" even if it's a lie?

Roman: Yes. And you do want to love people, do you not? You just don't know how. If you sing and dance, that's a way to love fans. If you become an idol, your songs will be full of love words. Besides, the more you say you love them, the lie can become true.

Trivia deeply thought about it. Being an Idol was something she had forgotten a long time ago. Could she really become one? She loved to dance, she had never been able to sing, but what if Roman was right? What if she found a way? And to feel loved, to be able to love, if she became an idol, would she finally understand what it meant?

Finally, she agreed to Roman's proposal. The two of them made a deal: He would start his own company, and when Trivia was sixteen, she with other teenagers would form an idol group. Until that, she would practice to become the best idol she could.

Everything was perfect. For once, in her ten years of living, Trivia was able to dream of a bright future in the entertainment industry. She would become the idol she always dreamed of. And Roman would be by his side, Roman, the one she could trust, Roman, the one who had always supported her, Roman, the one thing she appreciated in a world she hated.

But the dream never was accomplished.

The day of her eleventh birthday she decided to spend it with Roman. Her parents made clear they had no time for a celebration, and she didn't mind, not anymore. The two were about to have lunch when the bell rang.

Roman opened the door. Someone stabbed him. Roman felt. The assassin tried to go against Trivia. They were about to stab her too when Roman took out his gun, shot, and killed them. Trivia called the ambulance, but it was too late.

His last moments Roman spend them hugging Trivia, was she okay? Was she not hurt? Ah. How glad was that he had taken her under his wing, taught her everything he could. All his life had been miserable, but she brought him a bright happiness he had never had before. She was going to become an idol right? How he wished he could be with her, guide her, see what kind of adult she would become. See her being the star he always knew she was. She might be Jimmy and Carmel's child, but she was like a daughter to him. His precious star.

He still had something to say to her before passing away. He hugged her more, placed a hand over her cheek, and said:

"Trivia, I love you"

He felt relief. He had been able to say it. That wasn't a lie. He loved her, he always had. He went in peace.

But Trivia was heartbroken. The only one that made her feel something positive, the only one who cared about her was gone. She wanted to kill the one who did it, but that person was already gone.

Or not?

From there I don't really know how the story goes. I know that Roman had a testament where he left everything he had to Trivia, she deduces that he knew someone was after him, and also realizes that the one who killed Roman was a hired assassin, so there is someone pulling the strings who wanted Roman death, and she decides that she will find them and kill them in vengeance.

He was a loner like her, so his only contacts were with the people he worked it. The people of the entertainment industry, so the person she was looking for had to belong there. If she wanted to find them, she had to be at the core of the entertainment industry.

So she decides to still become an idol, but this time not for knowing the meaning of love, but to find the real killer. She spent the next four years practicing and becoming skilled at dancing, she even got a gadget to emulate a voice for the singing part. Her parents were against that dream, so she decided that not even they would stop her revenge.

So she ran away, dyed half of her hair pink, stopped using contact lenses, and started living in the house that once belonged to Roman. She changed her name to Neopolitan. One year later, when she was sixteen, Evernight Studios were searching for four candidates to form an idol group. Evernight was one of the world's most famous if not the most famous company. If she got in, she would have it much easier to achieve her goal.

So she auditioned. Maybe her skills were not perfect, but everyone could see she was one of a kind. She wasn't only beautiful, but her mismatched eyes and hair drove attention everywhere. With her in the group, success was guaranteed. The only condition that the boss, Salem, put her, was that she had to pretend to have a voice all the time, she couldn't just use the gadget for singing, she had to use it all the time

Neo wasn't very happy with the idea, but if that was what was needed to accomplish her revenge, so be it. That was her first lie, the first of many.

She formed a group with Emerald, Mercury, and Cinder, and the four of them started their path to becoming stars.

From then I know even less. I don't know who send the assassin to kill Roman, but I know he left a letter for Neo that she finds after a long time, that made her realize he loved her, something that she forgot after all that time for being obsessed with her revenge. This helps her realize she had loved him too, even if she didn't know it at the moment.

Yang is the secret child of Raven and Tai, Ruby is the secret child of Summer and Tai. Summer is killed because of the same person that wanted Roman dead, an assassination attempt is what made Raven leave and disappear from the map.

Weiss's father has his own company, but Weiss chooses to join Ozpin's because she hates her dad and forms an idol group with Ruby, Blake, and Yang called RWBY.

Neo eventually reveals the secret of her voice and accepts her disability with pride.

The one pulling the strings tries to kill Cinder too, but she survives with half of her face burnt and without an arm. Neo saves her because she is not losing another person she loves to that psycho.

And of course, Neo's first "I love you" goes to her most dear friends, Emerald, Mercury, and Cinder.
