Bituin was prepared for Halloween festivities, clad in a superhero costume she basically created by herself. “I wish I could wear all this all the time,” she said with a sigh. “I think my eye makeup’s cute right now. But I’m also referring to my sword. Do you think they’d let me carry a fake sword on a regular basis at the campus?”

“Wait, are you talking about — Jesus....” Bituin was hardly the sort to judge anyone for sex, but in a cemetery? That just sounded horrifying. “Was it dry humping? Did bugs not crawl up your ass?” Wincing and laughing at the same time, she said, “Mary Shelley’s cool, but a lot of smart people in history did weird stuff, man. I mean, Charles Darwin ate a tortoise and an owl.”

“Look, it was one time.” Theo said with a frown, gaze fixated on the small chain in his hand as he twisted it around his fingers. “I did know it was a cemetery, but it didn’t seem like that bad of an idea– Mary Shelley did it first, y’know? There’s historical precedence.”

“I always am,” replied Bituin, sending him a brazen air kiss. It was true; she liked to visit the gym to ogle people, although usually they didn’t notice as he did. “Just don’t mind me. Unless you’d like to help me?” she asked. To be certain, she was flirting, but she really also was seeking a sparring partner. Deep down, she resented her own ineptitude at physical combat.

Dimitri enjoyed sparring with others, but sometimes, when he was far too in his own head, he found that boxing with a dummy or a bag was better. He wasn’t one to let up when he was worked up, and he wasn’t going to take it out on one of his innocent classmates because he had had a bad conversation with his father. 

He landed a hand punch with his left hand - his subservient hand, before realizing that someone had joined him in the gym. Turning, he grabbed hold of the bag and brought it to a standstill for a moment. Raising an eyebrow, he looked at them expectantly. “Come to watch the show?” he asked, his voice and breath labored, making his accent heavier than it usually was.

yo so i am, as always, a Big Mess so this won’t be organised

bituin was raised by a single father. when he’d saved up enough to travel, he took bituin with him. bituin was still a little girl when they left for the united states; at the time, she didn’t understand why her father would take her to such a weird, unfamiliar land.

and then she grew up. it felt like an overly speedy process. it wouldn’t even be a day into the new year and it would be her birthday already. she grew up fast, too fast, and was able to grasp at a young age that her father was in america to find bituin’s mother.

bituin was never really told this. she just figured it out. that was her thing; it wasn’t her dad’s. her dad’s search was fruitless. but as a teenager, bituin was determined to change that for him.

at only 13, bituin tracked her mother down. the rising age of social media made tracking people down a much less onerous task than it would’ve been back then, sure. but this was a monumental achievement for 13-year-old bituin when you take into account the fact that her mother had disappeared because of involvement with the secret service.

her mother couldn’t stay with her for long, but encouraged her to enrol in gallagher.

THE GUY: A PIVOTAL CHAPTER IN HER LIFE

when she was 16, she fell in love. probably not for the first time, but this was the first time she felt it so certainly.

his name was [redacted.] he was a go-getter, like she lowkey was. they were both always reluctant when talking about their futures —— after all, they were 16. but she loved the idea of it, of having kids with him, buying their own house. she loved it, and him, even though they weren’t ready to discuss their feelings for each other at length.

and then he died.

it hadn’t even been a year since they met. he wasn’t even training to be a spy.

she liked to think that she was nothing like her father. bless him, but he was another family member of hers who followed their heart before anything else. bituin wouldn’t let the death of her first real love alter the route of her life. she’d mourn him, but....

but that would be that, she hoped.

she kind of has succeeded in not letting it alter the route of her life. she does, however, flirt aimlessly a lot ever since he died. she finds herself unable to get past the initial stages of ‘love’ these days, although she sometimes wants to.

(sometimes she just wants him back.)

FUN FACTS

technology/games nerd through and through. hella competitive. i’ve based her aesthetic on a few k-pop songs, the top one being fancy by twice. this song and mv encapsulate her whole thing.

one of her nicknames is “8bit” bc bituin,, computers,,, lame pun. also, 8 from 1998, and around 2008 (when she was a child around 10 years old) she was truly honing her Craft using less high-quality computers (hence the allusion to 8-bit computers), etc etc. it’s honestly a very layered nickname, but the most relevant recent meaning is that she likes to say there’s no technological conundrum she can’t solve in less than 8 minutes. it’s a nice slogan, isn’t it?

her other name is “muta,” which in the philippine minority language of cebuano (which both she and i grew up speaking ha) means... i don’t know what it is in english, but you know those gross yellow sticky things that are sometimes in the corner of your eyes when you wake up? it’s a joke lmao. she won’t let you call her by that nickname unless you’re close and also get the joke. “bituin adlao” translates to morning star, and muta is jokingly called “morning star” as a euphemism in the philippines. her name is beautiful, but also hilarious to her in context. 

she LOVES to sing. i have to admit i put this in because i adore her faceclaim myrtle sarrosa’s singing voice, as you can hear if you click on this link. myrtle’s voice is 8bit’s voice bc I MEAN. her voice is so gorgeous and strong??? i have 2 stan

please like or hmu to plot with her !!!!!
