Hello! Well, I'm pretty new to the fandom and I'm hoping you guys like this story. If you guys happen to like this story and want one that basically plays through episodes before the Battle City Tournament, let me know. I would be glad to do it. I'm just going to start off with introducing my main OC and her special item. In case you haven't noticed, there is a chibi version of her as the story picture. I'm hoping to make a anime verson of her soon. Until then, I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or its characters. Only Anya and the Millennium Charm. Enjoy!
BASIC INFO
Name: Anya Mirov
Birthday: March 16th
Zodiac Sign: Pisces
Hometown: Domino City
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Occupation: Student, Duelist
History: Anya and her older brother, Dimitri Mirov, both were born in the city of Domino. Their mother left them at a very early age and their father, an archeologist, spends most of his time away from them. Instead, they went to live with their uncle who owns an antique store when she was 7 and when Dimitri was 9. One year later on her eighth birthday, Anya received a gift from her father while on a dig in Egypt: this turned out to be the Millennium Charm. When putting it on, Anya was then chosen by the Millennium Item as it's bearer. At first, she didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary. Since her sense of intuition increased and she could sense the good and evil in people, it wasn't hard to meet her first friend since coming to her uncle's store and going to a new school. She sensed the good in Yugi Muto and was immediately drawn to him. The two became fast friends and were seen together constantly throughout the years. When Yugi solved the Millennium Puzzle, Anya was the first to notice something different since then, but helps the two in any way that she can. The two of them together learned how to play Duel Monsters and Anya is a fairly exceptional duelist. At one time, Anya could not play the game to save her life, but Yugi taught her some strategies to get her on her feet. Over time, she became stronger and stronger, so much that when competing in Duelist Kingdom, Anya dueled against Yugi and the two tied. Ever since, the result of the duels between the two have often ended in a stalemate.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Height: 5'5
Weight: 131 lbs.
Hair Color: Black
Hair Length: Reaches to mid-back
Eye Color: Aquamarine
Typical Outfit: On most days, Anya is seen in her favorite colors: black, purple, and yellow. Her favorite outfit is a yellow tank top with a no-sleeve purple vest and dark blue jeans. Her accessories include a yellow hair ribbon, scarf, sash, and a pair of black fingerless gloves that is ripped and reaches past her elbows.
However, she does like to change up her wardrobe and in each of the Yugioh Arcs, she has a different outfit. These Arcs include: Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, Waking the Dragons, Capsule Monsters, and Dawn of the Duel. A list will be posted in the future of outfits from each of these Arcs.
RELATIONSHIPS
Yugi Muto/Yami: At the tender age of eight, Anya had a hard time making friends. But thanks to the Millennium Charm, Anya sensed the goodness in Yugi's heart and approached him. Yugi was quite shy around her at first, but she didn't give up. In time, the two grew very close and were nearly inseparable. Anya admires his kindness and passion for games while he admires her for her determination and protectiveness. To this day, they remain good friends along with a healthy rivalry when it comes to Duel Monsters.
As for Yami, Anya was one of the first to notice Yugi's change in a duel after he completed the Millennium Puzzle. This may be because Nakia was awakened not long after Yami was. Even without the interference of Nakia, she and Yami have a strong bond.
Dimitri Mirov: At one time, Anya and her older brother Dimitri were as close as can be. When their mother had disappeared, Dimitri became very secretive and over time, shut Anya completely out of his life. Any time they would meet, his mood towards her and/or her friends would usually be scornful and bitter (kind of imagine him being like Kaiba). Despite that, he does actually care and will be protective of Anya around anyone that may try to do her harm.
Silent Magician: From day one, the Silent Magician has been Anya's most trusted friend and partner out of every other monster in her Duel Monster deck. In fact, the two are so deeply connected that in a duel, Anya will do everything and anything to keep him safe from any kind of attack and he in turn protects her from any magical forces that try to harm her. Of course, the way they converse is quite strange. Silent Magician cannot speak with words, so instead, he uses his mind to send concepts and images to Anya's mind, thus using them to create his thoughts into words. Anya, for some reason, always feels at her safest when his card is in her deck.
Saffira, Queen of Dragons: Saffira had not been around nearly as long as Anya's closer monsters such as Silent Magician and Black Rose Dragon, yet she has just as strong of a connection. In fact, even though Saffira was not made a part of Anya's deck until the beginning of Duelist Kingdom, she was often used in Anya's finishing turns of her duels. And while Anya has no clue as to where this attachment came from and how it happened so fast, she knows she wouldn't trade it for anything.
Joey Wheeler: At first sight, Anya couldn't help but develop a schoolgirl crush on him. However, she never chose to act on those feelings because of the constant bullying that he and Tristan did with Yugi. She was, of course, skeptical when they wanted to become friends, but she eventually warmed up to them. While competing at Duelist Kingdom, a haughty canine-based duelist named Lupin was drawn to her and wouldn't leave her alone. Desperate to get her off of his back, she lied about having a boyfriend, blurting out the first name that came to mind: Joey Wheeler. Realizing her mistake, Anya practically begged Joey to pretend to be her boyfriend. After a bit of "friendly persuasion", Joey agreed to the act. They managed to keep up the act all the way up to Lupin getting kicked out of Duelist Kingdom and well beyond that. Soon enough, what was once fake became actual puppy love which grew over time into something more.
Rehema "Rey": When Anya met Rehema, she had nearly drowned after escaping Marik's ship. Afterwards, the two were nearly inseparable as they went on with their quest for the Locator Cards and helping Yami to defeat Marik. At first, Anya was skeptical of this girl considering Rehema also wielded a Millennium Item: the Millennium Sundial. However, the two do share a strong connection after learning more about each other. According to a certain stone tablet, however, their kinship is far more than mere coincidence: this friendship may have been rekindled after a strong friendship developed over 5,000 years ago between their ancestors!
Nakia: Anya can't help but feel that having Nakia as one of her two Yamis to be both a blessing and a curse. But most of the time, it seems more like a curse. While Nakia acted as sort of a replacement motherly figure and her wisdom has saved Anya countless times, she also does many things without Anya's consent. For the most part, Nakia does have Anya's best interest at heart, but much like she was 5,000 years ago, her loyalty to the Pharaoh exceeds anything else, including her Hikari's life. This has resulted in Anya setting her life on the line for the sake of Yugi and Yami against her will. This has also brought Anya to consider whether or not her loyalty and friendship to Yami and Yugi is truly her own, or if it's forced upon by Nakia.
Amunet: Amunet is the second Yami residing within the Millennium Charm. Unlike Nakia, Amunet is actually concerned with Anya's safety and is actually more open to her with giving advice and dueling strategies. This may be because Amunet is Anya's ancient ancestor and had developed a deep fondness for her. While her loyalty to the Pharaoh remains strong, she believes that helping Anya achieve her destiny will help Yami as well, and will help her in any way that she can. As for Anya, she thinks of Amunet as the little sister she never had and always wanted.
Bakura/Yami Bakura: Ryou Bakura, in Anya's opinion, is by far the most adorable creature she had ever laid eyes on. She is often seen with her arm wrapped around his shoulder and playfully messing up his hair. This has frequently brought up the question of whether or not the two are a couple, to which both of them say no. Anya says no because she sees Bakura as more of a brother (or at least what a brother should be) than a boyfriend. Bakura admitted to his denial for the sole reason that he's entirely intimidated by Anya's fiery attitude, but still likes her as a friend and a bit of a protective sisterly figure.
Yami Bakura...well, Yami Bakura is an entirely different matter. Due to a trick placed upon the Millennium Ring, the Millennium Charm is unable to detect the evil no matter how close it is. Even when these two do clash, it isn't a very pleasant experience. Yami Bakura constantly mocks Anya's so-called strategies in Duel Monsters, saying that she is nothing without the spirits of her monsters to guide her in a duel and relying on their advice. Anya always retaliates with she's plenty strong and the support and encouragement of her friends (human and Duel Monster alike) only make her stronger. Even without Amunet's past experience with the spirit of the Millennium Ring in Ancient Egypt, Anya despises Bakura, but cannot help but be even more afraid of him than any other enemy that she along with Yugi and Yami encounter.
Tea, Tristan, Mai, Duke, Serenity: While Anya doesn't spend as much time with them, she certainly does have a protective nature when she's around them. Anya considers all of them friends, but doesn't feel as necessarily close to them as she does Yugi, Yami, Joey, and Rehema.
FAMILY TREE:
Amunet (deceased; ancient ancestor): Anyone can tell just by looking at these two (if they could actually see Amunet's spirit) that they could easily pass off as identical twins. Even so, Amunet is Anya's Egyptian ancestor from 5,000 years ago on her mother's side. For some strange reason, all of Amunet's descendants mainly consist of girls, which was actually considered a good thing since they believed that only a female heart could activate and control the Millennium Charm. These two are actually quite the polar opposites: Anya is very outgoing, expressive, and rarely ever hesitates. Amunet, however, is actually quite shy, cautious, but extremely sweet and mild-mannered. Even with these and many other differences, they do have many things in common: whatever they do, they do for the safety of their loved ones, they never give up no matter how high the odds are stacked against them, and they have big hearts with a lot of love to share.
Eboni Mubarak-Mirov (missing; mother): As much as Anya and her father love each other, Anya and her mother were as close as close could be. These two did nearly everything together, mainly drawing and gardening. However, that all ended when Eboni had disappeared on a archeological expedition. Anya had been completely distraught for the first year without her mother or really anyone, but slowly began to recover.
Vladimir Mirov (age 44; father): Anya absolutely adores her father. He is of Russian descent, thus she given a Russian name rather than an Egyptian one. He is a person that Anya describes as a man with "no bark or bite," at least when it's just between them. Vladimir loved having her and Dimitri along with their mother as they traveled all over the world with his archeological career, but of course with the disappearance of their mother and his wife, he had no choice but to send them to his younger brother, Nikolai. It was obvious to know that Anya was not happy with that decision, but eventually got over it. As of today, they are still on extremely good terms and look forward to the brief times in which he comes to visit his children.
Dimitri Mirov (age 19; brother): Their current relationship isn't as strained as everyone sees it. Truthfully, they were the best of friends as children, but went downhill fast at the disappearance of their mother. Whether it was the sadness from losing their mother or possibly anger and blamed Anya for her disappearance is not known for sure. Still, Anya loves her brother and Dimitri looks out for her without really letting it show. While the relationship isn't exactly the most ideal, it is obvious to the observant eye that they care deeply about each other.

SPECIAL ITEMS
Millennium Charm: (That's right, I made my own ancient mystical item! Deal with it!)
Appearance: A bracelet made of black leather with golden feathers and a golden heart charm with the Millennium symbol. This charm is about the size of a shot glass.
Owner(s): Anya Stevenson (current), Amunet (previous), Nakia (creator and previous)
Abilities: Unlike many of the Millennium items, the Millennium Charm chooses its bearer by the size and strength of his or her heart. After finding its proper bearer, the Millennium Charm grants its user with an increased sense of intuition, giving them a stronger judge of character. Basically, he or she can sense the good and evil within people, though it is hard to determine specifically what is evil about a person if he or she feels this way.
This Millennium item also has the power to sense truth and lies. If someone lies or is not who they say they are, the bearer will know about it. However, unless multiple lies are spoken separately, it is hard to pinpoint the truth from the lie.
As with the dueling monsters, The Millennium Charm gives its bearer the ability to communicate telepathically with the spirits of the monsters through the cards. Even the Egyptian God Cards are not immune to this ability, but will only speak if they believe the bearer of the Millennium Charm is worthy. One could even listen to the thoughts of the monsters of other duelers, though they won't be as open.
However, as with any magical item, it does come with its price. While intuition is strongly increased, it often interferes with the bearer's emotions. When near danger, whether they know what it is or not, the bearer often experiences strong anxiety, fear, clinginess, and paranoia. This, however, can be overcome with practice.
When making a pact or a promise, the Millennium Charm locks it within itself and the bearer, making he or she abide by that promise no matter what future circumstances, even if the bearer is forced against his or her will.. In this situation, there are only two ways to break the lock: the first way is for the person who joined in that promise (if there are more) lets them out of that promise.
The other way is slightly more complicated. Much like a real heart, the Millennium Charm dislikes betrayal on all levels. In the event that the person on the opposite end of the pact violates the terms of the deal in anyway, the deal is broken and so is the lock on the bearer. There will be cases in which one pact will conflict with another. In this case, two factors come into affect in which will decide which one will be kept and which will be broken. The first factor is how long the pact has been in effect. For example, if a pact was made one week before another conflicting one, the oldest would win. The second and most important one is how much strength of the heart was put into the pact. Even a heart-filled promise that is one day old can overcome an older one with only half of the heart put into it.
The only notable ability not used towards the bearer is emotional manipulation. Depending on the mood of the bearer, others around her will feel the same. However, on a much darker note, the bearer can single out a person and control their emotions, causing surprisingly disastrous situations. Also, if not careful, the Millenium Charm can even inflict this power on the bearer herself.
On a less negative note, the bearer of the Millennium Charm are able to overwhelm the powers of other Millennium Items so long as their hearts are strong enough. However, even if they are strong enough, the bearer will often suffer from the following symptoms as a result of using so much of their heart's strength: uncontrollable shaking, severe drop in body temperature, graphic nightmares, extreme sensitivity to nearby emotional reactions (good feelings will make the bearer heal faster, evil feelings will make symptoms worse), hallucinations, clinginess, intense dizziness and drowsiness. Nobody has died from these symptoms, but it will hinder their performance greatly if not given enough time to heal.
The Millennium Charm was also very precious and sought after because of its interesting connection to the Shadow Realm. Should the bearer be attempted to be sent to the Shadow Realm that is NOT by penalty of losing a Shadow Game, the Charm will cast the bearer's mind and spirit into a protective barrier and force it to become dormant within his/her body. Should this have happened, Nakia (or anyone else with the power of a Millennium Item) would merely enter the world of the Millennium Charm and reawaken the spirit within and bring them back. In addition, even by penalty of losing a Shadow Game, the bearer will be sent not to the Shadow Realm, but to Shadow Limbo (basically the thin line between the real world and the Shadow Realm) for a various amount of time. In other words, the bearer of the Millennium Charm cannot be sent to the Shadow Realm UNLESS he or she is not wearing it.
More secrets are being revealed as time goes by.
History: The Millenium Charm, much like the other Millenium items, were created from the darkest of souls. Nakia was chosen as its bearer and used it quite wisely. When she was destroyed, her spirit was locked away, Amunet took her place years later. Many years later, Amunet sealed her own spirit away in order to fulfill a promise. Finally, Anya was chosen as the third and final bearer.
OC Duel Monster Cards:
Chione (pronounced Key-oh-nay), Sacred Serpent of the Nile
History: To start, Chione was not always an Egyptian Goddess Monster. She first began her life as a mortal baby, but was born extremely sick. When her father begged the Egyptian Gods to help her, he was told to set her body into the Nile River since it was considered the life source of Egypt. When she was, her black hair turned a royal violet, and her violet eyes turned golden, a sure sign that her body was touched and blessed by the Gods. As a result, she was spared and became a healthy infant once again and was given the name Chione in honor of the Nile River.
Chione grew up a princess, underneath her father King Akununkanon and her twin brother, Yami. Throughout her life, Chione was a compassionate girl and only wanted to protect her friends and her people from harm. Upon the arrival of Zorc the Dark One, after many of the defenses had fallen, Chione found a way to give aid to her brother and her kingdom, but would involve a great sacrifice. Since she had a piece of the Egyptian Gods locked within her, she offered her mortal body and soul as a sacrifice to the Gods in order to protect her loved ones. Instead of the Gods stopping Zorc themselves, they destroyed Chione's human body and transformed her into the Sacred Serpent of the Nile. It wasn't until after the battle was won that her body was sealed away in stone (much to the sadness of many), but Chione knew that she would one day be needed again.
In the present, Chione is the fourth and final of the Egyptian God Cards. Like the other three, Chione has hidden abilities that can only be accessed by a few chosen. This Egyptian God Card was stolen by Rehema before Marik could get to it and was delivered to Ishizu. To keep the card safe and aid Yugi, she bestowed the card to Anya. When Anya asked why give the card to her when it would be safest with Yugi, Ishizu merely answered that it was fate that Anya received the card.
Attribute: Divine Beast
Level: 10
Attack/Defense PTS.: 4000/4000
Description: Everyone from Princes to Pirates have flocked to the Nile River for the desirably priceless scales and fangs that were discarded by this powerful serpent. Those lucky enough to receive one often wore it for the lore of bringing great fortune and prosperity.
Abilities: Chione's attack points increase by 1000 for every Magic and Trap card that is on both sides of the field. Chione cannot be affected or destroyed by Magic or Trap Cards, nor by card effects. She can only be defeated in battle. Another ability she has is Instant Regroup, which allows Chione to remove herself from the field for one turn with the cost of decreasing 2000 of her attack and defense points, keeping her safe from attacks. Power Constrictor is one other secret ability. When Chione is about to be attacked by a more powerful monster, she automatically coils around them and squeezing half of their attack points away. This ability can only be used once per turn.
Physical Appearance: Like all of the Egyptian Gods, Chione is also a powerful behemoth (as quoted by Marik). The overall color of her body is a deep violet, almost black with a lighter shade as her underbelly (Don't worry. A general sketch will be made and posted). Her body is serpentine-like and she has no limbs aside for her set of large wings. She also has a series of fins on her body, including a large fin on her tail.
Red Eyes Black Dragoness
Attribute: Dark
Level: 6
Attack/Defense PTS.: 2200/2600
Description/Effect: This card can be Special Summoned from your deck, hand, or graveyard if you or an opponent controls one or more "Red-Eyes B. Dragon." This card cannot target "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" and this card cannot be targeted by "Red-Eyes B. Dragon."
Ancient Egypt
"I've never seen this Millennium Item before, Nakia. What does this one do?" the young prince Yami asked, standing on his toes to get a better look at what his caretaker was holding in her lap. At first glance, it merely looked like a black leather bracelet downed in golden feathers and at its center, a golden heart charm with the symbol of the Millennium Items.
Nakia, high priestess and sworn guardian of the young prince, smiled and set it on her wrist, "I shall show you. Seiyaryu! Come hither and make your presence known!"
The heart began to glow brightly and upon Nakia's diadiankh, the scripture of a creature appeared. A beam of white light zoomed into the garden where they sat, making the young prince cover his eyes from the intensity. When the light died down, Yami removed his arm from his eyes and gasped.
In front of them, a large pink dragon stood before them, spreading its wings before giving out a loud screech. Yami shuddered and hid himself behind Nakia, who chuckled fondly, "Don't be afraid. He won't hurt you."
"H-he won't...?" Yami timidly asked, coming out just a little bit further and casted his amethyst eyes upon the creature, who cocked his head and looked around at its surroundings. "But...but why?"
"That is the power of the Millennium Charm, my Prince," Nakia closed her eyes as she continued. "When I summon my Shadow Creatures, they automatically obey the desires of my heart through the Charm. Since I wish no harm upon you, that is exactly what they will do. In fact, so long as they are around you, they'll be as gentle as a lamb."
"Really?" the young prince asked in wonder.
Nakia merely waved a hand, "Go on and judge for yourself. But just remember that so long as I am nearby, Seiyaryu will not bring harm upon you."
Yami gulped lightly, but removed himself from behind his caretaker and cautiously made his way towards the creature. Seiyaryu apparently took note of his presence, casting his blue eyes onto the prince as he came ever closer to him. The young prince carefully held out a hand and, defying what his fears told him what the creature would do, Seiyaryu bumped his snout against his hand and hummed loudly.
He smiled brightly and patted the beast gently on the snout. Nakia smiled gently and looked to the sky, praying to the Gods of Egypt that this would mean Atem would always be and feel safe within the walls of his own home.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This information will be updated, so keep checking back on this page.
Okay, I know that this isn't the best beginning, but I promise it will pick up. Again, this is my first time in the fandom. If you have any criticism, please be gentle. Bye!
