#ik (though having tragic notes) is actually a more whimsical happy-go-lucky character here

[journey-to-the-attic]

diavolo calling ik his daughter feels so much crueler when you realise the ghost of her actual dad is literally there the whole time jhsshdhjsj

im really curious abt ik's story before becoming a demon though

i was thinking about that actually!!! okay so in this au, since the rules about demons and the devildom are different, i also get to make up new lore for how demons are born

so there are natural-born demons and human-born demons, and there's not too much difference apart from the way they're created; natural-born demons just sorta spawn in the devildom, while human-born demons are created from the remains of dead humans by certain scout demons

normally, human-born demons are created by violent/angry/spiteful/vengeful/etc. deaths, and the nature + abilities of the demon depend on the circumstances of their death. ik's death was an accident while playing like regular kids do - which is why she's mostly benign, and has weird cartoonish powers

these sort of deaths are usually left to reapers, but in this case the scout demon took pity and decided to give her a 'second life' of sorts by bringing her back as a demon - though, as is the case with all human-born demons, she doesn't remember her old life at all, and is only vaguely aware of her origin

i'd place her as originating from a few centuries in the past, plus she's used to all archaic magic tech in the devildom, so she is very wowed by human technological advancement. levi shows her super mario and she is totally enthralled
