Author has written 3 stories for Kingdom Hearts.

8/11/19 Updates: So I've done a lot of thought for RS, and I figure it might be be, unfortunately, the best course of action to restart the story from scratch. The overall quality and some plot refinements make it hard to do edits chapter-by-chapter. I'm also not quite satisfied with the tonal course the story has taken. In light of that, I think it may be better to write the bulk of the chapters, if not all of the chapters, before uploading so as to make sure there is a strong thread of consistency and quality throughout the story. I'm open to hearing any thoughts and feedback about it since it's such a big decision, and I will probably also post an author's note update later in the story itself to get the word out better.


Bio

Call me Tempura. :D Age 24. She/Her. Japanese American. Born and raised in Hawai'i. I tend to be an awkward potato who doesn't quite know how to talk to people but tries to be friendly. I'm also a lazy procrastinator. Loves to write, read, sketch, play video games, and make and eat good food.

I'm a graduate with a B.A. in English, though that doesn't mean my writing is perfect! Far from it. I have stories in my head, and though I've been writing since I was a kid, I always hope to improve. Stories have always been my escape, and writing is my dream. I hope to create stories that resonate with others as much as my favorite stories resonate with me.

Kingdom Hearts is one of my most favorite series of all time, and has been since childhood. Pokemon was my childhood (Johto born and raised, though Unova is probably my favorite region overall). Overwatch is another game that holds a special place to me as my first FPS and the first game I've taken seriously in a competitive manner (mainly PS4 though I occasionally play PC; Tracer main at heart, though more often than not I flex to tank or support). For books, Daughter of Smoke and Bone is one of my favorite YA stories, though I also love almost everything by Neil Gaiman.

I'm pretty laid-back and I try to keep open-minded about things. Constructive criticism is always welcome.


Stories

Kingdom Hearts: Re-sketch - (in progress) - attempting biweekly updates; upload on weekends (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday)

15-year-old Hikaru Stonewall has a lot of baggage for a girl her age—kind of a given, considering the state of her family: an absolutely-no-nonsense mother, a couple of goofballs for brothers, a moody sister who would rather be anywhere else but there, and a gaping hole torn into the center of it all. But when it comes to the troubles eating away at her heart, Hikaru finds that the easiest thing she can do is pretend everything is alright.
That is, until the Heartless attack, shattering the fragile stability she had struggled so hard to build. Separated from her family, she joins Sora, Donald, and Goofy on a search for their missing loved ones. But things are never so simple. Between dodging shadowy villains and protecting the worlds from the Heartless, Hikaru must reconcile the forgotten truths hidden away in her heart, lest she be consumed by a darkness that may have been better left in the past.

Originally started in 2014, the current version is a culmination of years of rewrites, edits, and plot tweaks. This is the first book of the larger Re-sketch series, with the series as a whole following Hikaru's journey all the way up to Kingdom Hearts III. Basically, it's more or less treated as a parallel timeline/universe version of the Kingdom Hearts canon, with a healthy dose of original settings and world-building that hopefully feels like it fits into the universe of Kingdom Hearts.

Some OC/canon character pairings, though the focus of the story is not romance-heavy. The first chapter is very OC-focused to set up the characters and their home before we dive into the Kingdom Hearts storyline. Give it a shot even if OCs aren't your thing! I'm trying to make this a quality story in the true spirit of the Kingdom Hearts series, blended with a personal touch.

Kingdom Hearts Re:X[chi] - (on hiatus)

Current hiatus, no chapters stocked up at the moment. Rather than being a chronicle of Unchained X/Union X, this will probably turn into a retelling of the original X specifically, from the perspective of the Key Kids. Very OC heavy; focusing on the life of the Unions and parties through multiple intersecting character stories; may possibly accept reader OCs to fill out the Unions in the future.

The Long Night - TBA

In the planning phase. KH AU. Supernatural/Horror.
