He always tells the kids that all the people he's gone against and pissed off and all the ways he's been hurt, Esme is the one person that he's truly afraid of lmao

He definitely did not expect her to be as assertive as she is lol. He certainly wasn't used to THAT. But I think it made him even more attracted to her. She wasn't intimidated in the slightest and and despite trying to push her away and fight off the things he was feeling (he believed he was protecting her from him being such a mess and that he'd hurt in her the end and she 'deserved better' than that), she refused to be scared off.

This is your free pass to ramble about Esme!! Whatever you want to say about her, go nuts!! <3 <3

@youflickedtooharddamnit @secretaryunpaid @darknightfrombeyond @bardic-tales @creators-club

I'm not entirely sure what to say about our Esme. Even after taking time to think about. So, maybe some basics to start out:

At the start of the main series and Lost and Found, Esme is twenty-nine years old (almost six full years younger than Tyler) and living in Prague when Nik asks her to do the Dhaka job with Tyler (in an altered story line, but with a lot of canon). She is originally from Snowmass, Colorado, USA, and she's the last of six kids and the only girl.

Esme has a degree in psychology, and worked as an intel specialist with the US Marine Corps, spending time in various places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Along with English, she speaks French, Spanish, German, Pashto, some Dari, and a bit of Russian. She and Tyler once unknowingly (and extremely briefly) crossed paths in Kandahar, when he was still with Australia's SASR.

Her ex-husband Mark was sixteen years older than her, and one of her commanding officers. They had a disastrous marriage and after her divorce, she left the Corps and moved to New York City, where she can working under The High Table and in the same circles as John Wick. It was Esme that introduced him to his deceased wife, Helen.

After she was ex-communicated, she moved to Prague. A mutual friend introduced her to Nik, who hired Esme as an intel speciallist.

I know there's more I could talk about....lol

Her childhood dream was to own a bookstore, and for their tenth anniversary, Tyler bought an old business that had closed down and helped her turn it into her dream :)

She loves gardening and they have a little hobby farm with chickens, goats, and a few pigs. She also enjoys baking, knitting, and crocheting.

In the main series, she and Tyler have been married for thirteen years. She is co-owner of his mercenary company and enjoys being behind the scenes, running her book store, and just being a wife and mother.

@bardic-tales. It makes me so happy that you love her so much!

I wanted to create someone who, while being in the same world/career as him, was actually so opposite in almost every way. Just this tiny, girl next door thing (especially compared to his height and build and all his tattoos and scars) that everyone totally underestimates. Tyler admits he did. That he didn't think she'd be any help and would be nothing but a hinderance, and she proved him wrong. And put him in his place when she felt he needed to be lol. And she's a social butterfly, while he's a notorious introvert. Yet I wanted to find a way to make them 'work' somehow lol

Still my fave gif. You know Esme rolls her eyes A LOT. She has Tyler and four boys (two pre-teens) all under one roof lol

Some extra that suit her well:

Sneak Peek

Our boy is trying real hard to form any real connection with our Esme. And he's not doing very well. She's a hard one to scare off lol

(It's messy. I tend to work on dialogue and then add in shit around it all later)

“It’s an Aussie thing.  I’m saying I’m starving.”

“Well, in that case, I could eat the ass out of a low flying duck, too.”

“You know, you’re catching on pretty fast. Only been a couple of days, and you’re already using some of the slang.”

“Maybe if we get the chance, you can teach me more of it.  That would really confuse people in Prague; if a transplanted American busted out some Australian slang.”

“Something tells me the locals are used to you being a study in contradiction.”

“It’s kinda funny you’d say that.  I’ve been thinking the same thing about you. I bet you surprise a lot of  people.”

“I don’t know a lot of people.  In the same way they don’t know me.”

“Is that by choice or…?”

“Necessity.”

“Theirs or yours?”

“Maybe a little bit of both.”

“I know you.”

“You think so, do you?”

“It’s only been a few days. Since we met.  And something tells me I’ve seen more of the real you than anyone else ever has.”

With a smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth, he nods in the direction of the bathroom.   “I really do hope there's some hot water left for you.”

What's everyone up to?

Introducing Bianca Moore, the Angel of Shinra

Warnings: child experimentation, medical torture, parental manipulation, forced surrogacy, captivity, trauma, demonic corruption, Shinra abuse

🌙 Name: Bianca Amara Crescent-Moore 🔮 Age: 23 (human years during FFVII) 👤 Gender: Female 🌌 Fandom: Final Fantasy VII (AU/OC integration) 🌟 Ship: Sephica. (soulbonded, married, parents of twins) 📅 Date of Birth: October 1st, 1976 👼 Mother: Seraphine (celestial guardian) 👹 Father: Azrakiel / Asmodeus (demon tyrant) 👩 Surrogate Mother: Sarah Moore 👨 Surrogate Father: David Moore 👧 Daughter: Aurora Crescent-Moore 👦 Son: Lucien Crescent-Moore 🎭 Faceclaim: Eiza González

Character Overview

Bianca Moore was never meant to exist on Gaia. Conceived of an angel and demon, carried by a human surrogate, and stolen into Shinra custody, she became both company's pawn and propaganda icon—the Angel of Shinra. Raised alongside Sephiroth as his counterpart and experiment, her life was laboratories, confinement, and scars. But through the Red Ribbon of Fate binding them through every reality, love grew from captivity, rebellion sparked against Shinra, and Bianca forged her own truth. Now wife to Sephiroth, mother of twins, and co-leader of the Vanguard, she is both celestial horror and fiercely human, forever walking the razor’s edge between salvation and corruption.

NOTE: This is only one of the countless reflections shown in the Mirrors within the Pathway of Reality of Fantasy Worlds Collide. Each mirror reveals a different path Bianca and Sephiroth might walk: a reality shaped by prophecy, bloodline, and choice. In this reflection, she was born into Shinra’s grasp and bound to Sephiroth as the Angel of Shinra. But the mirrors shift endlessly, reminding us that no single world defines her. Every AU is a shard of the greater story.

🌟 Character’s Persona: Bianca is chaotic good with a fiery blend of charm, mischief, and resilience. She thrives in rebellion, often masking pain with humor and sharp wit. Her strengths lie in her adaptability, passion, and loyalty, while her flaws are her impulsivity and avoidance of vulnerability. Growth for Bianca is learning that she is not bound by prophecy or corruption. Her identity is carved by her choices.

🎭 Personality: Sacred yet profane, Bianca embodies contradiction. She is playful, unpredictable, and affectionate with those she loves, but carries a predator’s edge born of demonic blood. Her trauma makes her distrustful of authority, but fiercely protective of found family. Though haunted by Hojo’s experiments and her father’s whispers, she chooses rebellion over despair, often becoming the spark that reignites hope in others.

💑 Transcendent Bond: Bianca and Sephiroth’s Red Ribbon of Fate ties them spiritually, emotionally, and metaphysically. What Shinra intended as a manipulation became an eternal bond. They share pain, thoughts, and love across distance. Their union produces twins, Aurora and Lucien, and anchors Sephiroth against Jenova’s corruption while he grounds Bianca against her own infernal whispers.

⚔️ Courage in Conflict: Bianca’s bravery lies in defiance. She stands against Shinra despite being raised as their weapon, challenges prophecy instead of yielding to it, and faces her own corruption daily. Her true courage is her refusal to become what she was designed to be: a pawn of destruction.

✨ Likes & Dislikes

Likes: cloudy skies, wolves, celestial magic, stargazing, Genesis’ poetry (secretly), combat training, sparring with Sephiroth, cuddling her twins, prank wars, fresh bread, long baths

Dislikes: authority figures, Shinra logos, Hojo’s voice, hypocrisy, Jenova cells, pity, bright sunlight, surveillance cameras, moral absolutism

🌿 A Soul of Many Hobbies: Alchemy, belly dancing (secret), calligraphy, gardening herbs, creative writing, reading poetry, storytelling, soul magic studies, sparring, baking bread, leaving love notes in odd places, collecting feathers, and speaking to chocobos (will joke about knowing chocobo 'language' which cracks Sephiroth and the others up)

Powerset Overview

💫 Powers and Abilities: Bianca wields corrupted celestial and demonic power fused with Jenova and S-cells. She bends space, time, and reality, communes with the dead, and manipulates nightmares. She channels ice and shadow magic, uses a prehensile tongue and vampiric fangs in combat, and summons her blade Noctemaris from between dimensions. Her wings are not merely for flight. They are weapons, shields, and conduits of corrupted cosmic energy.

💔 Weaknesses: Her corruption makes her unstable: powers fluctuate, sometimes draining her own life force or warping her intent. Even though they broke free, Jenova’s influence still tempts her toward destruction, while her demonic blood whispers promises of dominion.

🌠 Key Moments in Bianca’s Journey

Conceived of prophecy. Hidden in Sarah Moore’s womb, then stolen by Shinra.

Raised in captivity as Sephiroth’s counterpart, their bond forged through shared trauma and the Red Ribbon of Fate.

Vivisected by Hojo at eleven. Survives only through Sephiroth’s support.

Paraded as Shinra’s “Angel,” used as propaganda to soften the image of their god-SOLDIER. Put forward that even the Divine blesses Shinra.

Forced into arranged union with Sephiroth as a cover for the breeding project. Ironically becomes true love.

Saves Sephiroth at Nibelheim, preventing Jenova’s complete takeover. Celestials were created to balance out cosmic horrors like Jenova.

Flees Shinra with Cloud, Zack, and Sephiroth during Nibelheim's burning.

Gives birth to twins Aurora and Lucien in exile.

Co-founds the Vanguard with Angeal and Sephiroth, aligning with AVALANCHE to dismantle Shinra. Former SOLDIERs join the Vanguard and lives with Bianca and Sephiroth in the sleepy town: Rinnos

Learns her destiny is not bound by prophecy, but by choice.

🌟 Themes

Duality (angel vs. demon, weapon vs. Person)

Fate vs. Free Will

Love as Rebellion

Trauma and Survival

Family and Found Family

Corruption vs. Humanity

Power, Control, and Defiance
