#one has camellias another has lotus surrounding them

[racoonwithavoid]

I’m sure I’ve shown these 2 before, Winter [right] and Natsuki [left]. I forgot if I ever went into detail about them though, so here we go-

Natsuki is the clone of Winter by a science experiment

Winter and Natsuki have that Hanako and Tsukasa vibe if ya know what I mean

Winter hates the scienctist who was behind the whole thing, hence snapping and causing destruction before running away, Natsuki was still at the lab- at least what was left of it with the only survivor being the Dr. because Winter couldn’t bring herself to kill him for whatever reason

Natsuki loves the scientist but he treats the two completely differently; when Winter was there, he forced her into doing what he wanted, manipulated her, gaslighted her, etc, with Natsuki, he treats her as if she’s his kid, now if he truly does care for her is another question

It took Winter time to realize that the hatred she has towards Natsuki is really unresolved hatred towards the Dr. and her unforviness towards herself for leaving her there with the Dr.

They both need lots of energy to work their best performance, and since Natsuki is a clone of Winter, she has almost the exact same quirks as her, one of them being a soul eater as a means to get energy within a shorter time frame, however Natsuki does it monthly, Winter tends to starve herself of spiritual energy because she doesn’t want to be overly powerful and overwhelm her body

Winter uses a pill that the Dr. used to make for her to keep her quirks in check, once they began running out, she found secretive ways to get more without having to depend on the Dr., without the pill, all of her quirks strain her body, eventually killing her body off

Natsuki doesn’t use pills anymore, cause after the Dr. gave her a Nomu as a companion fused in her body, it keeps her quirks in check. Winter and Bloom could only dream

Winter doesn’t know what Bloom is, so she calls her an energy ghoul because she absorbs energy and uses it, but doesn’t have a vessel, she’s not a lost soul it seems because compared to them, she has special abilities like kitsunes and such, but she doesn’t fit any of the supernatural, hence energy ghoul, winter would also call her energy host, because of the relationship they have. Winter allows Bloom to use her energy and Bloom protects her from harm to live within her

SIDE NOTE: if Bloom wished, she could take all of your physical as well as spiritual energy for herself resulting in a death, she won’t do that tho unless otherwise

Winter’s original quirks were: elements, weather, and spirit eye (or 3rd eye; which allows interaction between the physical realm and the spiritual realm where you can see souls, devils, and such), because of this, Natsuki’s start up quirks were that, but more because when she made, Winter acquired more and more quirks, there’s some that they have that the other may not have

When Winter was cloned and Natsuki was made, they used to have a connection, one of the reasons being that a piece of Winter’s soul was taken and put in Natsuki, however over time since they’ve separated, they no longer have a connection because of how they were brought up, their environment and such, so even if Winter were to try and take her soul back, it would be for nothing

When Winter and Natsuki regain their connection, it will be evident in their interactions, appearances, behaviors, etc, such as: Natsuki doing things to help rather than cause trouble, and Winter acts more smiley, one thing they have in common is their affection: when they love someone, they���ll hug, keep close, kinda act like domesticated animals, tamed enough to be allowed to go places but can and will take out whoever their loved ones want them to get rid of with little to no remorse

Winter believes that Dr. is using Natsuki solely to get his plan to succeed, Natsuki accepts that and will wholeheartedly allow it, but knowing that Winter doesn’t want that to be her fate twists her emotions in a way where now if the time came for her life to laid down for his plan to go through, she doesn’t know if she’d follow through with it anymore

If they were a deadly sin, they’d would be greed, according to researches, gluttony is eating an excessive amount for no reason. It may seem like they eat much especially with how their bodies look, but it is vital for them because holding many quirks, whilst living like other humans takes up a lot of energy making them constantly hungry. Imagine the hungry caterpillar, but when they evolve they’re one of the most powerful people to fight against, with their primary weakness being their mind, Winter’s cousin, Kuzuko knows this

If there's questions, feel free to ask!Here’s the base btw, credit to the creator of the base!

For the fanfic mashup: royal au x flowers of romance 💐

Thank you for the ask!! There wasn't a ship specified, so I did my favorite. Hope that's okay...

I actually have a Tsukura royal au in my wips that has a focus on gifts of intent, but here's another idea.

The Queendom Sakura rules over is a show of her power. Her people are well fed and housed. Her lands prosperous. Her allies willing to stand beside her at the merest threat.

The only thing Sakura is lacking in is love.

She's had proposals aplenty. Her personal guard has been in love with her since she was still a princess, Great Houses have offered up their sons (and daughters) and there is no lack of Nobility wanting to combine their kingdom with hers. But they mean nothing.

At this rate, once her sister Nene marries and has a child, Sakura will have to make them her heir. But there is plenty of time, Nene reminds her, and Sakura focuses on running her Queendom and turning down the Minamoto's offer for marriage with vicious politeness.

And then the flowers start appearing.

At first, she thinks it's Natsuhiko, but he denies it. He's been courting the older sister of the Palace's resident painter, and he is not the type to let his affection stray. They could be left by someone working for the Minamoto's, but the bouquets they tend to send are often full of red roses, which Sakura hates.

The first is a bundle of lilac, left on the seat of her throne. Nene drags her to it as soon as she wakes, and Sakura lifts it carefully into her hands. The heavy scent of them curls in her senses, and she puts them in a vase in her office to keep her company. She's not blind to their meaning either; new love.

The next is a cluster of sunflowers, laid at her spot at the table, still damp with morning dew. Their bright faces carry the same hopeful adoration that their meaning does, and Sakura brushes her fingers over the petals.

These are followed by a single pink camellia, left in a glass on the window seat she favors in the library. She puts it on her bedside table, and when the petals drop in a rush seven days later, its meaning of longing has her curious to see what comes next.

More and more are left around the castle for her to find, and when the weather turns too foul for even her mysterious suitor to attempt to find her fresh blooms, she finds paper ones. A handful of scattered pink petals, the same as her namesake. A delicately folded lotus, left on the windowsill overlooking the garden pond.

Most intriguing though is the flower left outside her bedroom door several weeks later. Sakura has never seen one in person, as they're only found in the far reaches of the Northernmost Queendom on the continent, and are near impossible to grow.

In a glass bubble, surrounded by paper imitations, is a StarFlower. It glows even with the light streaming in from the windows, iridescent petals shifting their hues as though each contains its own small galaxy. Sakura holds it close as she looks up and down the hall, because this flower has more meaning than all of the others combined.

A StarFlower means a love eternal, untouched by death, an unbreakable bond between two souls forevermore. They were not a flower carelessly given, or lightly received. She scoops up the paper ones, and disappears into her room.

When the Queen of the North comes to meet to go over treaties and alliances, Sakura knows. The Queen and her daughter, heir that Sakura would be dealing with when she stepped down, smile knowingly, the Prince Regent hiding his own wide grin behind a hand.

Sakura could pay attention to the fact her sister is crying tears of happiness as her fiancé holds her hand tight, but she is enthralled by the brilliant bouquet of blood-red camellias being presented to her.

Tsukasa stares down at her over the rich blooms, amber eyes glowing fiercely when he sees the paper StarFlower she's pinned in her hair for this meeting.

Its improper, unbecoming, unfitting for a Queen of her status, but Sakura does not care. She lets the petals fall around them as Tsukasa scoops her up at her quiet "Yes." and kisses her with enough passion that everyone in the room blushes and turns away.

Later that night, tangled in the sheets as Tsukasa draws flowers over her skin with his fingertips, she thanks the stars that she agreed to let him stay when Nene and Amane's engagement was announced. Grateful too that he courted her slowly, allowing her to fall for him in her own time.

In the glass bubble, unseen as Sakura draws Tsukasa down for a kiss, the StarFlower glows, and splits into two. Their stems twist together, petals brushing, as a Bond is sealed.
