Bianca held her breathe as she watched her father slip around the corner, almost safe, almost there. She and her family stood waiting for him, fearful of being seen, yet so happy to see him safe.
Her little sister, Tali turned to face her. "Daddy's back, and look, he has food as well!" I smiled softly down at her. "Yes."
Her father look slowly left, then right, preparing to make the dash across the large, barren plain, over to the pile of broken instruments that Bianca and her family were hiding behind. Bianca closed her eyes, praying for his safety in the final moment. With her eyes squeezed shut, she began.

Oh great Hazuki in the sky, hear my prayer. Please le-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Bianca's eyes flew open, just in time to see the large, hulky figure behind her father pounce. Her sister and mother screamed for him to move, and rushed forward to help him, to fight of the abomination that was now apon her dear father.

Bianca stood rooted to the spot, frozen with horror.

Tears began to fall before she could stop them. Bianca tried to turn away from the terrible scene in front of her, but found that she could not rip her eyes away. "N-no! Daddy will be fine, he knows how to fight, and Mummy and Tali are helping..." Bianca trailed off. Even a fool could see that he was fighting a losing battle. "No... Daddy..."

Black spot appeared at the edge of her vision, and the world started to spin. Before she knew it, everything was black.

Daddy...

***

"Bianca?"

Bianca blinked open her eyes to find herself staring straight into the face of her sister.

"Tali? Where am I? Oh..." Tears blurred her vision as the memories came rushing back. Her father, torn to pieces by a monster, her sister and mother fighting to keep it away. And herself, hiding in the shadows like a coward, doing nothing to help her dying father.

That's all she was. A stupid, fearful coward.

"Father..." Bianca said softly, "He's dead, isn't he." She said, looking up at Tali. Her mother entered the room silently. "Yes." Her mother sat beside her on the bed. "You passed out before it happened. We're hiding out on another side of town right now, because those monster are attracted by the smell of blood."

She said it with such a straight face that Bianca couldn't help but think that she didn't care. Of course she does, she's just trying to hide the pain, unlike you, crying and being a fool in front of others. Pull yourself together Bianca! She mentally slapped herself, and wiped away the tears.

"Alright, let's go and find food." She said, her face devoid of emotion.

***

The hooded men took them before she could scream.

They came in the night. Bianca had only just managed to escape, with more that a few scratches. She had only noticed them because she had awoken in the night. She couldn't sleep because of a nightmare. Her entire family, burning. She had heard them shortly after awakening. She had woken her mother and sister, and they had ran, but the hooded men were faster. Bianca had run blindly, not daring to look back, only to realise that her family was gone.

Bianca had run and run, and finally collapsed beside a pile of violins, broken and sad.

Just like her heart.

She was alone.




***

Bianca stared at the little creature in front of her, almost dead. It slowly turned it's head to face her, wincing painfully as it did. It smiled sadly, as if it knew Bianca couldn't do anything to help.

Bianca shook her head fiercely. She was NOT going to lose something so soon after her family. She would help this creature if it was the last thing she did. She would help it, cure it, and she would protect it, nothing would stop her. She would heal it, nurture it, care for it. No lives would die at her hands, not if she could do something to help, nothing would die if she wanted it to live, ever again. Ever.

Bianca ranted on and on, her hair flaring out behind her. From deep within her body, a pale purple light began to shine.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

She let out the most piercing scream that anyone had ever heard. It rang from one end of the Dark realms to the other, chilling any who heard it.

A pure violet light burst forth from within her body, circling the pitiful creature in front of her. It pulsated violently, and entered the creature's body. As the power flared out of her body, Bianca began to weaken. She finally collapsed, the small creature now fully revived.

It flew forward, and gently patted Bianca's head, and began nursing her back to health.

"My name is Aurelia. Thank you for saving me."

***

The young girl stepped forward, and gently clasped Bianca's hand, pulling her and Aurelia towards the gentle, golden light.

"Welcome to Orchestra."
This is the backstory I made for my OC, Bianca for my application for :iconnightmare-rhapsody:.

I just made it more complicated.

Also, I think this was a little sappy, but I think her personality makes up for it, so yeah. I also just wanted to add in some of the explanations for her personality, so here it is! :D

Enjoy! :D
