I don't own anything except my OC's
This is just an intro and background story for my character or maybe a little more
So please...go ahead and read but you could skip this chapter if you want as I said this her background story
When she heard of Fairy Tail's win at the GMG, she rush to pack her small cart with her few belongings and move from her little shack the following day. She had lived at the edge of a forest near a town for almost two years now, and she did random acts of kindness around the town to earn a bit of money for food.
'I'm gonna miss it here...' She thought to herself as she connected the horse, she got him from a townsfolk, to the cart. As soon as she was done, she heaved herself up into the seat and whipped the reins making the horse settle into a trot, with a last glance back at the run down place she called home. It would take a few hours to make it to Magnolia with a few stops for the horse to rest, good thing the sun was still rising.
Sighing, she thought about how it was going to be. She had no friends, well she have one but he disappeared saying he had to look for his mom, and her family was mean so she ran away to some random place, all she had was her strength and uncontrollable magic.
She sighed again this time thinking of her parents, man did she miss her parents, her dad didn't use magic but had awesome fighting and weaponry knowledge, that's where she she got her strength and skills from, and her mom tried to teach her magic, which was wind magic. She tried as hard as she could but she couldn't control it, all she could do was produce wind for up to 30 seconds then it would go haywire. That was then she gain more control over the years but not full control.
Then one day she accidentally broke something important in the house and her dad got mad and blamed her mom for teaching her such magic, they argued for what seemed hours until he left...forever. She never seen him again after that and ever since then her and her mom had been emotionless. Her mom stressed so much that she had grey in her jet black hair, and then in the year X789, she was 15, she passes at the age of 38 from so much stress it gave her a heart attack. She had never felt so alone. She realized that she was crying, she dried her tears and continued to think. She remembered running away from her uncles and aunts. She remembered her mom's calm sweet nature and kind heart, she would never hurt a soul unless provoked but that was rare. She remembered how similar they were, they both had long black hair that went pass their butt, large dark gray eyes, but she was shorter than her mom by a few inches, used the same magic and they were the most generous people in town.
Nia's POV
All that thinking gave me a headache so I called it quits. I slowed the horse to a stop at the edge of a town, not just any town, my old home town. I forgot that I was going to pass through on the way. Forcing down my tears I snapped the reins and headed towards my old home.
As I arrived I could see no one lives there and it was still in the same shape as I left it. I got off the cart and went around back where my dad's shop was connected, when I went inside all his tools and weapons were still there. Old memories of when I was younger popped up, I would be in here while my dad made all kind of things but I knew not to touch anything. Smiling, he never minded teaching me the things he knew. That's when I decided to keep some stuff. Over the couple of years I studied basic re-quip magic to store some stuff in the future, so I gathered up a couple of swords, a giant mallet thingy, a double-headed ax he used to let me borrow, some throwing knives and his dagger and a tomahawk that he left.
I went up to my mom's room, went straight to her closet and filled my arms with her clothes that I knew I could fit, I stuffed it in a random suitcase that I found and went put it in the cart also. I went back to mom's room and sat on her bed, minutes ticked by as I stared at nothing. I glanced at the dresser and saw her jewelry box, I got up and searched through the box. I saw my dad's favorite necklace and mom's lucky earrings, I put both on. Oi, I need to go it's already noon. But yet again something else got my attention.
A note? How come I didn't notice that? I grabbed it and headed out the door and continued on my journey to Magnolia, I only had an hour left till I made it. I glanced at the letter curiously. I gave into the temptation to open it.
Dear Nia,
I know what you must be thinking, you must hate me now, but just know that I still love you. You are so much like your mother and I can't bear to lose you too. I'm sorry I left you both Nia, and I wasn't there to cheer you up when Shana died. Everything that your mother and I owned belongs to you now, I left 100,000 in Magnolia for you, I know you're going there because that all you use to talk about before I left. I wish you well on your adventurer and I love you.
Love Dad
P.S. Don't get into too much trouble, please for your old man.
There was no tears this time, just a goofy grin. I put the note in my pocket and urged the horse faster. When I made it to Magnolia the sun was about to start setting, I couldn't keep the smile off my face, it's been a while since I smiled like this. I spotted a fruit stand and stopped at it to buy my favorite thing in the world, watermelon. My eyes sparkled with happiness as I paid for three full watermelons, I placed them in the back of the cart and went on my merry way. I had to go to the bank*, and get that money so I can get a place to stay.
After about 3 hours, I had gotten the money, and found a cozy one bedroom apartment with a small kitchen w/ connecting living room and nice sized bathroom. The rent was 60,000 a month and it was already furnished with an awesome bed, a couch, table, desk and dressers. I unpacked all my stuff, which wasn't much and got out a watermelon. I sat there for about an hour eating my fruit, when I decided to explore the city for the rest of the day.
When got dark I went on home. I took a long deserved shower, after that I got dressed in my underwear and a over-sized t-shirt, the jumped in the bed, sleep when my head hit the pillow.
The Next Day
I shot out of my bed with a bright smile. To is the day I join Fairy Tail!
I hurried into the bathroom to do my morning thing. I rushed to brush my hair letting it flow past my butt, and then put my mom's favorite outfit on, falling over in the process. After I finally managed, I grabbed some jewels and went to get some breakfast since I have no food.
I found a small pancake place, ordered some chocolate chip pancakes with bananas on top. Oh my this is the best breakfast I had in a while. I paid and gave a tip, before leaving the shop I asked for directions to the guild.
As I skipped towards the guild, I accidentally bumped someones shoulder, I turned to apologize.
"Oh! I'm sorr-" I froze when I seen his eyes, my own widen.
'Those eyes, I remember them from somewhere!' I tried to remember, I was about to ask if I know him, but he already walked away. Shaking my head, I kept walking till I was in front of iron gates. I craned my neck up to see the huge building.
'Wow' was my only thought. From outside the doors I could hear fighting and yelling, is this how it is? I opened the door and got an eye full.
Guild's POV
Intakes of breath could be heard throughout the place as a chair flew at the person at the door, everyone froze in place as the person barely dodged the incoming chair. The person was obviously a female. She wore a grey floor length skirt with slits to the hips, dark brown boots and a black waist shirt, her black hair swinging when she whipped around to face the guilty guild members.
Nia's POV
This is how it's gonna be? Wild? Destructive? Well this is my place to be, I already like it here. I let out some chuckles as I see their disbelieving faces. As I walk to the bar, I seen something my pure eyes was not supposed to see. Grunting, I ignored it as best I could.
"Is your master in?" I asked one of the barmaids,
"I'm right here," I looked to the right and saw a small old goofy looking man, " What can I do for you?"
"I want to join and I need a job," I replied
"Of course you can join our guild and what do you want to work as?" I raised an eyebrow, that simple?
"Blacksmith" I said, Macarov nodded in approval.
He turned to a beautiful white-haired woman, "Mira get the stamp." She nodded and pulled it out of nowhere, and silently asked me where I wanted it.
"Lower left on my back and can I get it in dark green?" I pointed to the uncovered area
"No problem." She replied, my god she has the sweetest smile. After she released the stamp I felt a tingle all over me. I heard cheering and whooping from the guild members and I felt so happy and special at the moment.
"Introduce yourself child" I heard Master call out to me as they all quieted down.
"Uh, my name is Nia Hulcher and I'm a blacksmith" I said nervously shuffling my feet, I never really like talking in front of people. A course of "Aww's" and "She is so cute" rang around the guild.
"What kind of magic do you use?" The blonde girl asked nicely
"Well I use wind magic but I'm still learning how to control it" Then that's when the questions started rain down on me
"How old are you?"
"Are you a weapon wielder?"
"FIGHT ME!"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Love-Rival"
"Can you teach me how to make a sword?"
"COME ON, FIGHT ME!"
I snapped
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" I roared, fast winds whipped around the guild for a second and everyone was quiet now,
"Thank you," I said sweetly "To answer your questions, I'm 17. Yes, I use an ax. No I will not fight you. No I do not have a boyfriend. I can probably teach you how to. And yes, now I can fight you." I answered in one big breath.
I saw the pink haired guy launch at me with a flamed fist he was coming pretty fast too. Ah, Salamander, I grinned and waited for him to get close, when he was within 2 feet of me, I dropped my shoulder into his pelvis and used his momentum against himself, flipping him over me and into the bar. I heard gasps and whispers of "How's" and "What the hell's", turning to face them I notice them stare at me in awe and disbelief. Damn, just because I'm short doesn't mean I don't know how to kick butt. Ugh I hate when people underestimate me. I continued ranting in my head until I saw the most cutest thing ever, my eyes widen when it spoke, his voice doesn't match his body. I was over there in less than a second, hugging the cute cat to my chest.
"Oh you are just the cutest little cat ever!" I was officially a cat woman. I held him at arm's length when I heard a scoff from the corner, but I ignored it and fangirled. "Oh I just want to cuddle you all day, what are you? I know you're not some regular cat. What's your name" I asked him, and he just looked a me suspiciously
"Pantherlily but just call me Lily and I am an exceed," He hung limply in my hands until I held him in my arms and started to pet his head. I felt his little purrs but they stopped, I looked at him and he looks embarrassed as he refuses to make eye contact, I scratched behind his ear and the purring returns but louder and I felt him shudder a little. Laughing a little, I set him back on the table he was on before.
The master led me to where I was going to be working. The room was on the side of the building next to the hall and it was quite huge. It had tables, a big furnace, a sliding door that lead outside, a lot of vents to let the heat out and all the tools I need from tongs to swage blocks. I was in blacksmith heaven.
I went back to the bar and made a conversation with the sweet barmaid.
"Do you have any watermelon?" I asked hopefully
"We sure do! Just hold on a second," I was definitely going to like it here. She gave me half a watermelon and a spoon, I thanked her with a mouth full of fruit and all she did was giggle. I finished it within 10 minutes and was greeted by a girl that was a tad bit shorter the me.
"Hello Nia, I'm Levy!" Wow she was so energetic, I just had to smile and greet her back. We chatted for a few minutes until more girls joined in. We talked for a couple of hours until it was time for me to go.
"See you around ladies, I got errands to run," I sighed as I said my goodbyes and walked out of the guild.
I began walking to the grocery store, maybe being here might be fun after all. I smiled looking up to the sky,
'Well mom, I made it I wish you could be here to witness this and help me out a bit y'know', I smiled harder knowing that my life has taken a turn for the best.
Please R&R Tell me what you think
