18. Has your OC ever had a prophecy made about them? Was it a big deal or did they ignore it? Was it straightforward or cryptic? Did it ever come to pass or did they circumvent it?
Yomi left home due to a prophecy about her, though she didn't know it at the time.
Her mother was a skilled oracle, divining prophecies and fortunes for whoever approached her and offering them sage wisdom or guidance from the kami. She loved her only daughter dearly and sought to pass on all she knew in time, but a dark portent made itself known far before Yomi's training was complete. The prophecy stated that Yomi would be held dear by those that are kin to destruction - what form that destruction would take was unclear, though. Yomi's mother had to make a choice between keeping her daughter and protecting her village, and she chose to protect the village. She sent Yomi on a pilgrimage to "better understand the world and kami inhabiting it" and imposed exile upon her once she left.
Yomi is not able to return home because of it, but she's made a life with Zezene and the others. Her friendship with the Warrior of Light is something she wouldn't give up for the world, prophecy or not.
