(Girl from the future)

*Chapter 1*

_____________________________

One week before Katarina started work at Ministry of Magic with Maria, Katarina walks around her family gardens alone wanting alittle time to her self, once she starts her new job she wasnt going to be at home that often and wanted to visit some of her favourite hang outs, before checking her veggie garden she took a trip to her favourite tree she likes to climb, she walks over and spots something or someone passed out up in the tree.

Katarina: "is that a girl? She doesnt seem to be moving, I better check if shes okay"

She runs over to the tree as she climbs up, shes gets a good look of her, she appeared to be breathing still which was a good sign, she takes her hand as she checks her over, she looked awfully familiar to her, she has the same blond hair as her brother, so she wondered if perhaps this is a relative of Keith's possible cousin maybe that's why shes at the Claes mansion.

Katarina: "hey are you okay, you shouldn't sleep here, you might fall"

The girl slowly opens her blue eyes same shade of blue as Katarina's, luckily she was sat up in the tree, she places he hand behind her head as she winces out in pain"

Katarina: "hey are you okay"

???: "my head hurts... where am I, last I remember I was kidnapped and dark magic was casted on me by one of my uncles"

Katarina: "dark magic?, where are you from?, maybe I can help what's your name?"

Alice: " my name its Alice Claes, but um its werid now I look at you cause you look alot like my mom"

Katarina: "Claes? I never meet you before, oh you must be one of my cousins.... wait I look like your mom?"

Alice: "yeah my mom is Katarina Claes"

Katarina: "oh my name is katarina claes too, that's pretty cool"

Alice: "that can't be right... if your Katarina and you look like my mom..... what year is this?"

Katarina: "2021?"

Alice: "Wait what! But how, it can't be unless..... I was sent back to the past.... which means...."

Her body starts to tremble with fear, katarina holds onto her stopping her from falling.

Katarina: "time travel! Wait I think I studied about that in class, theres black magic that can send someone to the past or future, if that's the case then...."

Alice: "I have to go back home, I can't say anymore with out changeing the future I've said enough"

Katarina: "from what you said does that mean your my future daughter!"

Katarina wasnt expecting this, she was in shock, but remained strong for Alice who was scared, thoughts ran threw her head, if this really is her future daughter then who is her father and who sent her to the past like this, was this part of her future doom flags. Was someone going to target her threw her future child.

Alice remained silent not wanting to talk anymore about where she came from, one wrong word or move she makes could change the future.

A voice calls out to Katarina taking her away from her thoughts it had also pulled Alice away from her thoughts too. They both looked down the tree and see Keith calling.

Keith: "hey sister we've all been looking for you, Anne has tea and sweets prepared"

Alice: "I know him to he looks alot like someone I know...."

Katarina places her hand on her shoulder.

Katarina: "why don't you join us, are you able to climb down?"

Alice: "I don't have much of a choice do I?"

Katarina: "nope, your eatting sweets with me and Keith, I guess that would be your uncle Keith right"

She teases her as she Pat's her shoulder.

Alice: "I can't say anymore, I've gave too much away already telling you your my mom"

Katarina: "wait so he might not be your uncle?, hmmmm well I will stop asking, let's go down shall we?"

Alice nods and gives her a sweet smile, she follows Katarina down the tree, Keith watches both girls coming down but was curious who this other girl is.

Katarina: "wow you really can climb trees"

Alice: "yeah my mom taught me, through my father doesn't like me doing it he thinks it's to dangerous so I get into trouble alot.... hes pretty stricken and to over protective of me"

Katarina: "sounds alot like someone I know, my mom scolds me too for climbing trees"

She giggles as Keith runs over to her.

Keith: "sister dont tell me you've seduced another one!"

Katarina: "oh no it's nothing like that Keith! Shes lost right Alice"

Alice: "yeah...."

Katarina: "hey you know, now that I look at you both you guys could be twins"

She couldn't help but laugh at there reactions as Keith and Alice look at each as there faces flush red.

Keith: "sister what are you talking about, I dont have a twin, we look nothing alike either"

Katarina: "oh that's right Keith, this is Alice Claes, shes been sent from the future and she needs help to get back home, isn't she so adorable!"

Keith: "wait what.....future! Is that really possible, I didn't think time travel was possible"

Katarina: "yeah, someone casted dark magic on her and she ended up here, oh shes also my future daughter, how cool is that Keith!"

Keith: "wait did you say daughter? Shes your future daughter?"

Alice remains silent not wanting to interrupt them. As Keith looks at her.

Keith: "if that's true then how do we send her back to her own timeline, and who's her father?"

Katarina: "who knows she won't tell me, something about changing the future?"

Alice: "if I say anything about the future it may change things..... as for who my father is, I thought maybe you might of worked that out by now based on who I resemble most"

Katarina: "hold on not twins you guys ain't twins, woah hold up, for real! I know who it is, it has to be you keith! She has my eyes, and she's clearly resembles you in looks and same hair colour too!"

Keith's faces flush red as she points at him.

Keith: "wait what!"

Alice nods as they both look at her.

Alice: "yeah he's my father, I cant say anything else about the future, enough has come out as it is, I may of damaged the future enough as it is coming face to face with you both...... I just want to go home to my mom and dad"

She clings to Keith as she cries into his chest, Keith really didnt know what to do at this point, he was shocked, but yet happy too, hearing he will one day win Katarina's heart.

Keith: "dddddd daughter, I have a daughter with........"

Katarina: "I'm shocked, Keith! I know you confessed lately but this, I never expected"

Keith: "I think we should talk about this later sister, shes really clinging onto me in tears, we should do something"

Katarina: "I know what to do!"

She goes over placing her hands on her shoulder .

Katarina: "hey, it's going to be okay, let's eat some sweets then we can go and see a friend of mine, he knows alot about dark magic, maybe he will, know how to send you home"

Alice: "uncle Raphael and uncle Sora?"

Katarina: "yeah, through maybe you shouldn't call them uncle when we see them"

Alice: "yeah your right, I don't want to mess anything up, dad will be super annoyed with me if I mess the future up, I call all my mom's friends aunt and uncle, it's a habit I have, I will try and not say it if I see them"

She let's go of Keith as she wipes her tears.

Keith: "makes sense I'd be annoyed if you messed up the future, what's been said today stays between us three for now, lord and madam can't know about this either, for now we tell them your a guest staying for a few days till we can find away to get you home"

Katarina: "oh man, wish I could tell everyone I have a really cute furure daughter"

Keith: "no sister, bad idea if Geordo and the others find out, don't you think they'd end up hurt? That could most definitely change the future, they can not know about her"

Alice: "he's right, they can't know, if they ask just tell them I'm a distant cousin, its okay to tell sora and Raphael, the rest is to stay between us, through I'm finding it real hard to call you both by your names, I mean your both going to be my parents one day"

Katarina: "hm then why dont you just call us what ever makes you feel comfortable, but only when where alone? I don't mind if you call me mom"

Keith: "Sister!"

His face turns red with embrassment from hearing her say that,this was all a shock to him still, he never expected to run into his future daughter and here's Katarina acting all normal with this situation.

Alice: "sure if you don't mind me calling you mom"

Alice smiles at her, causing Katarina's heart to flutter she has that same cute innocent smile as Keith did as a child.

Katarina: "your so cute! Hey how old are you"

Alice: "I just turned 15, so um i dont want to sound rude but, I'm getting pretty hungry"

Katarina: "yeah me too, hey Keith or should I say dad"

She nudges him in his side with her elbow as she teases him.

Keith: "hey! Sister don't call me that, its embrassing!"

Katarina and Alice both giggle at his reaction.

Alice: "he hasn't changed a bit, he even calls you big sis still"

Katarina: "what for real?"

Alice: "yeah, I asked him about it once and he said it's a bad habbit of his"

Keith: "you really are from the future huh? Which means you weren't making it all up, your really my daughter?"

Alice: "sure am, I have two younger twin brothers and another sibling on the way, you will have your hands full future dad"

She playfully winks at him as she links onto Katarina's arm. Keith's face couldn't go any redder than what it was already.

Keith: "that many, lots of kids? With sister!"

His heart was racing in his chest to the point he felt like he was gonna pass out. What struck him the hardest was being called dad, it felt kinda nice to him but also made him feel weird.

Katarina: "hey hurry up Keith, or we will eat all the sweets with out you"

Alice: "yeah hurry up dad!!!"

Keith: "ah! I'm coming sister..."

He mumbles alittle something to him self not wanting them to hear.

Keith: "does she have to call me that, I'm not prepared to be called such things...."

To be continued.

[divine-identite]

Finished up rps got like 8 left I believe, will be making headcanons though today actually :T. Also, if I flooded your dash with Katarina stuff, sorry I have my queue set to an hour interval.

Though despite that am feeling a tad low today, in fact quite disappointed in Tumblr and people that backed her up. It’s not necessary the fact she didn't want to admit that it was whitewashed, perhaps, may have been racism involved but hid behind the bullshit that fact it is my OC and it is fictional characters. Keep in mind this goes for white, black, Asian wash all alike.

Can we be honest with another? How I think it is if you involve real life in a fictional to some degree without deviation of where it can be perceived as a fantasy of fiction, you, yourself, have already built that foundation of real-life standards. Thus in that set equation, you’ve allowed yourself, and others too, to judge your muse and character on realistic grounds. If it were different say as Caius or Lightning, we know where their inspirations came from but the strange hair colour and feats they’ve completed are beyond normal physics or anything of the sort. Yet we cannot fully trace real lie references despite the great mass of ambiguity surrounding the universe -this fact entails many of the final fantasy games.

My deepest disappointment lies in the matter of her associates, not because they support her, which is a natural reaction, but they perceive my attack as hate and had an equally fucked up point of view. To ignore the issue and assert that character growth > than race and fictional representation is quite painful to hear, only because I attacked their friend on an issue that is prominent. Her muse is of Japanese - America, a Japanese Father and White American Mother. I attacked her because she is blatantly using Japanese heritage as a pivot to use the name for her muse while keeping most of her muses white features. She will explore only one side of the heritage while using the other as an excuse to use the name. It only adds to her exoticism of her muse rather than fictional representation. To hear this is even worse I feel from one of her supporters :

❝mun;;     okay, I apologize for this but… drama ahead ( this is the only post I’ll ever make )Do not. And I repeat, DO NOT send other muns hate based on their blog. Their character, their feelings. Their blog. I repeat, it is their blog. How they see their character is how they see them. If you don’t like it, get off their blog? I know race is a touchy issue. Many muses are white, and there is a lack of representation. And its terrible, it is. However, do not shame muns who write their character as one race or another. At the end of the day, race does not matter; its the value of the character, their growth, and how they interact with others. People are people, I think. Its not an “ us vs. them “ situation. Its one shitty person who decided to start drama and attack other people for their representation of their character. HOW PEOPLE REPRESENT THEIR CHARACTER IS HOW THEY SEE THEIR CHARACTER. THE ONLY ALARMING BEHAVIOR WOULD BE: sexual harassment from one mun to another sexual harassment from one character to anotherthreatening or abusing the other mun or character if not part of the plot or the character’s personajust actual abuse or hate or slander in general???If someone wants to change the canon character into a transgender character, they can fucking do it. If someone goes by a different name than what is typically aligned with their character, they can fucking do it. If someone writes their character to be a certain race, they can fucking do it. Appropriation of race or culture is when people treat said race wrongly, mock it, change it without reason, ect, right? I know, people are protective of their characters. They have a right to keep a clean dash. They have the right to only follow or talk to people they feel comfortable with. I’m fine with that, I understand that. MY FUCKING ISSUE IS WHEN YOU ATTACK MY FRIENDS BECAUSE THEY DON’T FOLLOW YOUR IDEALIZED VIEW ON THEIR CHARACTER. THERE IS NO REASON OR EXCUSE TO BE A DICK. YOU’RE NOT BEING SOME SUPERHERO, YOU’RE BEING A JERK. IF YOU DON’T LIKE MY FRIEND’S INTERPRETATION OF THEIR CHARACTER, THEN DON’T FUCKING FOLLOW THEM. DON’T INTERACT. DON’T TALK TO THEM. BLOCK THEM, IGNORE THEM. I recall Tumblr’s guidelines being something like . . . “ Go nuts, show nuts, we don’t care.”Maybe the RP community can take a bit of that advice? I really apologize for the cussing and the hate. I don’t want to start anything, I just want to stand up for my friend because they mean so much to me. If you don’t like a mun, their interpretation, or agree with their character’s actions - don’t follow them. Just keep scrolling, move on. Roleplaying is for fun, its a hobby not a job. ROLEPLAYING IS FOR FUN. repeat after me. ROLEPLAYING IS A HOBBY. Don’t spread hate if you don’t like it. ❞

So instead of addressing the issue, we have to move on, do not follow and block it. We worry about drama on the dash ins Just scroll past the issue. A few months ago someone got called out for roleplaying racism and paedophilia, the got bashed for it hard and I think he deleted his account- never to be seen again. Yet when people appropriate culture people in an insensitive manner they insist it infringes on their creative thinking rather adopt a respectful thinking. If race does not matter does that give you right to pick and place whatever parts of a culture to express just to build your muse? than insist to ignore the repercussions under the guise that this is your muse you are in control, and that you do not need to follow any idealised view. However, it is good to know race and culture are just one big Petri dish; pick out what doesn't suit you and represent what does.  Let's be real here, you can make your muse any sexual orientation, and race, of any religions, creed, and still do it proper representation. This doesn't mean to be an asshole and use these aspects just to appear exotic or find any particular way to benefit yourself whilst deterring any criticism. 

The only alarming issue to this person is sexual harassment and harassment upon others. Never does she find appropriation an issued for, again, it infringes on another's creative thinking. Let things happen, and let it be if it happens. The fact we turn an indifferent eye towards these things instead of addressing the serious issue where the line ends just laments how fucked up we are in roleplay. Not just those who exacerbate it so indifferently, but to friends who are, too, indifferent instead of being a friend talk to them. So I ask you guys if I do act out of line or do anything like this - do jump on my ass, call me out and send all anon shit. I’ve only lost three followers, two who were her friends. So let's end this with an interesting quote :

❝ did u kno that there are different layers and shades of racism, not all of it is fiery and angry sometimes its indifferent and silent and so normalized that racists dont even think theyre racist even when poc are literally telling them about it, and thats perhaps the most pervasive type of racism of all my dudes ❞  -  @cassianorgana
