So far, many known figures in the gambling industry gave keynote speeches to talk about the future of gambling. One of the gambling event on the agenda was the Curaçao Finance Minister, Javier Silvania. In his speech, he Emphasizes the Benefits of the New Gambling Legislation in Curaçao…
This is my entry for Day Two of the OC New Year's Challenge!
Luna Silvania Aether -> Aether S. Luna
Luna is my oldest OC. Yes, you heard that right. The first OC I ever created. She has gone through a lot of revamps over time (at first, she wasn't even a One Piece OC), and I'm proud to present you her final form. The metamorphosis is complete.
But if you think I'll tell you everything straight to your face, you don't know me well. I like to tease a little :)
In her former concept, she was supposed to be the potential last survivor of a species that originated from the moon, called the Moon Spirits. But then Wano came along, we got to Onigashima, and you might understand why that concept was no longer viable. But I had faith in Oda-sensei, and he presented me a toolkit for a solution only a few chapters later.
So, let me give you an outline and some hints:
Luna is the only one of her kind, the only daughter of Mother Moon, the goddess of the moon herself - or at least she's very convinced of it. Fact is that nobody can explain her powers, manifesting in the form of crystalline shields and beams of light, or how she can substitute bathing in the moonlight for sleep, not to mention her practically glowing eyes and large, angelic wings.
Is she really a demigoddess? Is she even from the moon? Well, with the hints in the moodboard and the help of her name, as well as knowledge of the reveals made within the Wano Arc and Egghead Island Arc, I think you might be able to figure some of it out :)

Luna claims to be the daughter of the moon, believing "Mother Moon" to be watching over and to be the source of her magic powers. She joined the Straw Hat Pirates shortly after the Davy Back Fight after they saved her from captivity in a castle without windows, the lack of moonlight making her sick. From this point on, Luna sees herself as the crew's "guardian angel" and quickly befriends all of them, even the distant Zoro. At first finding herself overwhelmed by the energy of the crew, she soon eases into it, even finding herself returning the affections of the "love cook" Sanji.
Luna is very tranquil and caring, but she's also easily nervous. The last thing she wants is to be a burden, so she usually stays away from fights whenever she can, knowing her wings could get in the way. Whenever she does get involved in fights, it's usually to cast protective barriers or shoot magic projectiles from afar.
Extra facts:
Luna cares for Chopper like a little brother or even son. She flies him through the air for fun whenever he wants to
If needed, Luna can whack people with her wings, delivering heavy blows
She loves elderberries and yoghurt
Luna experiences molting (I made a post about it on my main blog here) and grooms her wings every day
She pays lots of attention to her appearance and takes pride in carrying herself with dignity and elegance
She started going through her final molt before adulthood during the Sabaody Arc, rendering her vulnerable and unable to fly. To this day, she still regrets this, even though the situation was beyond her control
After the timeskip, her wings are large and strong enough to even carry people as large and heavy as Franky or Jinbe

Physical description:
Luna is tall and with smooth curves and fair skin that is cracked, scarred or burned in various places. Her eyes are a bright blue, glowing whenever she uses strong spells, and her hair is a very light platinum blonde. Most of her clothes are long, elegant and flowy with wide sleeves and kept in blue tones.
Faceclaim: Elle Fanning (in case you should ever need to imagine her as live-action, 65% accuracy)

In the Vampirschwestern novels it is implied that the easiest method to tell a born vampire (including hybrids) from a sired one is by eye color. Natural vampires have unusual, often impossible eye colors:
-Zezci (Silvania's and Daka's grandmother) has that archetypical blood red
-Uncle Vlad has heterochromia; one eye green and one orange
-Murdo's pupils emit a fiery orange glow
-Daka's eyes are brown and flecked with purple
-Bogdan (Silvania's childhood sweetheart and best friend back in Bistrien) has black irises with a forest green grain pattern
