Bianca Moore | Question 2

GTKMC: Name

Villains don’t emerge. They erupt into existence. And Bianca Moore isn’t just a name. It’s a prophecy dressed in scars and stitched from celestial ash and infernal blood. She walks the line between salvation and annihilation with a blade in her hand and Sephiroth at her side, not as an accessory, but as an equal.

In a world of moral binaries and broken heroes, Bianca shatters the mold: unredeemable, unforgettable, and utterly untouchable. This is not a redemption arc. It’s a reckoning.

Possible Trigger Warnings: abuse, blood, curses, emotional trauma, experimentation, identity issues, parental betrayal, psychological manipulation, suffering, supernatural themes, torture, violence, demonic heritage, loss of innocence, forced legacy, vivisection, magical coercion, the aftermath of trauma.

Her name is Bianca Amara Moore, though she'd be the first to tell you with a curled lip that the middle part is a sick joke. Amara—a name given to her by Asmodeus who is her biological father—was meant to be a “gift,” a binding echo of her infernal heritage. It sounds beautiful, ethereal, even sacred. But for Bianca, it feels like a curse spat from his silver tongue. It tastes of betrayal and forced legacy. She never uses it unless forced to by magical constraints. If someone dares to call her Amara, they’d better be ready for a verbal flaying or worse.

Bianca identifies most strongly with her first and last name: Bianca Moore. “Bianca” was chosen by her adoptive mother, a soft, old-world name meaning “white,” meant to symbolize hope, renewal, and purity. The irony would be laughable if it didn’t cut so deep. The young girl who bore that name was bright-eyed, innocent, unscarred and devoured long ago.

“Moore,” the surname she carries from her human family is the only piece of her past she clutches like a relic. It’s her link to the life she lost and a banner she waves as both mourning and defiance. She's not her father’s child. She's what happens when you sever destiny and stitch something new from the ruin.

Still, the full name persists like an echo: Bianca Amara Moore. It shows up in files Hojo beside the name 'N01'. To her enemies, it’s a title to fear. To the Planet, it’s a warning. And to Sephiroth? It’s sacred, even if he knows better than to say the middle part aloud. He’s the only one allowed to whisper her full name, and even then, only during the rarest of moments when she lets the poison in her veins quiet long enough to be vulnerable.

Bianca has many other names whispered about her in the Lifestream and across broken realms: Destroyer, Harbinger, Sephiroth’s bride, The Pale Flame, Horseman of Death, and worse. But when she introduces herself, she always keeps it simple. Bianca Moore will be said with a smirk that dares you to pry. It’s not humility. It’s a veiled threat. Because if you really knew the name etched across the bones of creation, you’d already be running.

So yes, she has a full name. That name is beauty, blood, and bitterness stitched between every syllable. But don’t use it unless you have a death wish: or unless you’ve earned her love, her wrath, or both.

Question 2 | Bianca Moore | Question 4

Gender is never a simple question. At least, not for someone like Bianca Moore. When a character has been reborn through fire and resurrected beneath falling stars, the language of identity shifts. It becomes something sacred, even a bit volatile. For Bianca, gender isn’t just a category to check off. It’s a battlefield, a myth, and at times, a haunting echo of what could have been.

As a woman forged in trauma and tempered by cosmic power, she walks a path that forces us to reconsider what femininity can mean when survival, divinity, and autonomy collide. This is not just a character who identifies as female. This is a woman who has bent that identity into something uniquely her own and may yet break it again in pursuit of a truth that transcends human expectation.

Possible Trigger Warnings: breeding programs, body modification, gender identity, resurrection, trauma

Bianca Amara Moore is, in the most immediate sense, a woman. She uses she/her pronouns, has a feminine presentation, and a history shaped by the social, psychological, and mystical experiences of womanhood. Her identity as female is not performative or imposed. It is deeply woven into her mythos, a facet of her humanity that clings to her like blood-soaked silk, even as she transcends the boundaries of mortal form. The scars she carries—emotional, physical, and spiritual—were often inflicted through the lens of a body and soul assigned female, shaped by a world that defined her by what she could give, bear, or sacrifice. Shinra’s breeding programs, manipulations through maternal archetypes, and the expectation of selfless femininity left her marked but never erased. She rose not as a passive vessel, but as a wrathful, divine feminine force. The original concept of her in this version of Fantasy Worlds Collide (FWC) was that she as the feminine energy to Sephiroth's masculinity. To call Bianca a woman is to acknowledge not just her body, but the centuries of weight that come with inhabiting it.

However, Bianca’s gender expression is anything but simplistic. There is a duality—sometimes a multiplicity—in her existence that gnaws at the edges of the binary. She moves through the world with an elegance that reads traditionally feminine, yet her presence carries an unyielding severity more often attributed to masculine-coded archetypes.

Her gender expression, fluid and paradoxical, gnaws at the edges of the binary. She weeps like a saint and fights like a god. Her form, cursed and remade, holds both sharpness and grace. What began as survival has become sovereignty. And after resurrection, when her body becomes lighter than flesh, she embodies not contradiction, but convergence. In her, the feminine and the masculine do not clash. They coalesce.

The notion of celestial androgyny adds yet another layer to Bianca’s gender story. Following her resurrection four months after Meteorfall, Bianca is reduced to radiant, sentient ash, scattered and protected by ethereal wards as her essence reconstitutes over several months. When she rises again, it is not as a woman reborn, but as something older and more terrifying: a draconic-phoenix hybrid crowned in celestial flame and abyssal shadow. In this form, the boundaries between gender collapse entirely. Her voice becomes a resonance felt more than heard, and when it is heard, it a high pitch screech, resembling a bird of prey's. Her presence is radiant and horrifying, and her limbs are both monstrous yet divine.

Though she eventually returns to her humanoid self, the experience leaves a permanent mark. The concept of gender becomes less identity and more artifact. It is something she remembers with reverence but no longer requires. In this new incarnation, Bianca is gendered only in the way fire, gravity, or Safer-Sephiroth might be: capable of infinite creation and annihilation but beholden to no mortal framework.

Still, Bianca does not easily shed the label of “woman,” because it is a crucible in which much of her identity was forged. Her rage, her softness, her trauma, her love? All were filtered through a lens shaped by that role. To remove that entirely would be to erase a key part of her narrative, one she fought too hard to reclaim. Even after ascension, even as her soul grows more celestial than carbon, there is power in naming herself as female. Not out of obligation to the flesh, but as a defiant act of continuity. Her womanhood may become abstract, perhaps symbolic, but it is never discarded. It becomes mythic. It is a gender not limited by biology but expanded by legacy.

In truth, Bianca’s gender is less a static identity and more a story in motion. She began as a girl trying to survive in a world that tore her wings from under her skin and dissected her and emerged as a force that rewrote the meaning of femininity itself. Whether mortal or celestial, she is always redefining what it means to be herself. Womanhood is her origin, but not her boundary. If she chooses androgyny in her next chapter, it won’t be a betrayal of what came before. It will be an evolution. A truth wrapped in annihilation. A way of saying: I am not what you made me. I am what I choose to become.

Question 4 | Bianca Moore | Question 6

Sometimes, the most intimate truths about a character aren’t found in the grand battles or sweeping romances. They’re hidden in the quiet details: a favorite color, a flower pressed between journal pages, or a taste that brings a ghost to the table. For this article in “Get to Know My Character” series, we’re stepping away from the cosmic warfare and deep metaphysics of Bianca Moore’s life to explore her favorites: the sensory talismans that anchor her to a self she rarely gets to be. These choices aren’t random. They are loaded with memory, survival, and symbolism. Because for someone like Bianca, even a muffin isn’t just a muffin. It’s a moment she lost. A world she still grieves.

So if you’ve ever wondered what the Harbinger of Death and Rebirth finds beautiful, sacred, or worth savoring, this is where you’ll find her. Layer by layer. Petal by petal. Bite by aching bite.

Possible Trigger Warnings: Death of a parent, Grief, Murder

Bianca’s favorite color is a tie between silver and crimson red: two hues that perfectly encapsulate the dual nature of her existence. Silver represents her celestial origins and the cold, radiant distance of the cosmos she was born to defy. It evokes clarity, judgment, and detachment. These are qualities she often relies on to shield her vulnerable core.

On the other hand, Crimson red is the color of spilled blood, raw passion, and burning purpose. It is the color of her trauma and her resolve. Where silver distances, crimson binds. In a world constantly trying to define her by one half of her nature or the foreign cells in her blood, she instead embraces both colors as emblems of her fractured unity.

Her favorite animal is the raven, a creature often misunderstood yet rich in symbolism. To Bianca, ravens are messengers between life and death, truth and illusion: an echo of her own role as a celestial being who communes with spirits and drifts between realms. Their intelligence, solemn presence, and association with omens align naturally with her role as the Harbinger of Death and Rebirth.

Unlike the typical associations with doves or wolves, the raven speaks to her inner world: elegant, calculating, untrusting, and entirely unconcerned with how others perceive its beauty. She dislikes rats. Not for their appearance, but for what they represent: decay without purpose, intrusion without warning, and the way they always seem to thrive in the shadows of things once pure.

Bianca’s favorite food is pumpkin muffins, but only the kind her mother, Sarah Moore, used to bake every October. Warm with cinnamon, cloves, and just a little too much burnt sugar, they were never perfect, but they were hers. Sarah made them as the leaves fell and the veil between worlds thinned, insisting each year that something sacred lingered in the air. In a childhood marked by chaos, violence, and things Bianca couldn’t name yet, the scent of those muffins became her safe place. They were an anchor to a moment where love was warm, and her mother’s soft voice drowned out the nightmares.

But that warmth was stolen. Sarah died on a cold December morning, murdered by Azrakiel’s cult while Bianca and her father were out buying her a Christmas gift. She never got to say goodbye. Never got to taste those muffins again with her mother humming at the stove, wiping flour on her apron. Now, every bite Bianca takes is a resurrection and a funeral all at once. Each bite is grief baked into sugar, loss folded into memory. She rarely eats them anymore. Life doesn't give her space to grieve softly. But when she does, when the craving claws through the armor, the first bite always hits like Sarah pressing a kiss to her temple.

In that moment, Bianca is ten years old again, in a kitchen bathed in morning light. Her mother is alive. And for the span of a heartbeat, the war stops and she is not the Harbinger of Death and Rebirth but, simply, Bia.

As for her favorite drink, Bianca prefers a deep red Malbec. She enjoys the bitter complexity and velvety finish. It’s a drink that demands time, thought, and presence, much like herself. Red wine is sensual without being loud and assertive without being overbearing.

Malbec, in particular, feels like the flavor of blood. It’s not a drink for casual evenings or empty celebrations. Although she can not get drunk due to her celestial nature, Bianca only drinks it when something meaningful is being remembered or destroyed.

Her favorite flower is the black rose, and unsurprisingly so. It embodies everything others have feared in her and everything she has reclaimed. Often associated with mourning, vengeance, and dark beauty, the black rose to Bianca is not a symbol of death. It is a symbol of rebirth forged in the ashes of annihilation. It is the flower she would leave behind as both a warning and a signature, a thing as lovely as it is dangerous. The black rose blooms as a quiet defiance against everything that ever tried to control her.

Question 5 | Bianca Moore | Question 7

When it comes to understanding a character like Bianca Moore, the details matter, especially the ones that seem deceptively mundane. In this installment of Get to Know My Character, we’re diving into a deceptively intimate question: Are they picky about food?

For Bianca, the answer reveals far more than mere preference. It offers a glimpse into her haunted past, her fragmented identity, and the way she copes with grief and memory through something as ordinary as a plate of food. What she eats isn’t about nourishment, but about memory, ritual, and the trauma that clings to every bite.

Possible Trigger Warnings: blood, cults, death of a parent, demonic themes, ritual murder, trauma

Bianca Moore’s relationship with food is complicated, shaped more by memory and emotion than necessity. As a fallen celestial who feeds on blood, semen, and life energy, human food serves no nutritional purpose to her, but she still indulges for the taste, the texture, and the nostalgia it invokes. Her human upbringing, especially her mother’s lovingly prepared Italian dishes, left a permanent imprint on her. Lasagna rich with béchamel and ricotta, hand-rolled gnocchi, and garlic bread toasted just enough to darken the edges. All of these remind her of warmth and of maternal affection she never quite got to fully appreciate. When she eats, she’s not feeding her body. She’s feeding her memories.

Despite this sentimental connection, Bianca is extraordinarily picky about certain foods. This is not because of flavor or texture, but because of the trauma they carry. She absolutely avoids any meal associated with the fast-casual chain Sbarro. Once a comforting slice of routine in the chaos of mall outings with her father, David Moore, Sbarro’s became a symbol of unbearable loss. It was there, under the too-bright fluorescents and the sterile cheer of holiday decor, that she and David shared a unforgettable Christmas Eve dinner. Bianca remembers the taste of oily pepperoni and overcooked pasta lingering as David got a phone call. They learned her mother had been murdered. That sensory memory, anchored in tragedy, has forever soured anything resembling Sbarro’s cuisine.

Her palate is further influenced by her demonic lineage. She prefers food with bold, rich flavors: sharp cheeses, spiced meats, umami-heavy broths, and bitter herbs. Subtlety doesn’t interest her. She detests anything bland, considering it beneath her. Dishes like oatmeal or plain white rice don’t just bore her. They offend her very nature. She’ll tolerate human meals when they’re decadent or exotic, often leaning toward meals that others might find overwhelming or even unpleasant. The more primal the flavor, the more likely she is to enjoy it, though she’ll never admit the reason is because it stirs her base instincts.

Yet even with her celestial and demonic duality, Bianca retains an almost childlike protectiveness over her mother’s home recipes. She’ll only cook them when she’s alone, in silence. Cooking is an act of grief and remembrance. She’ll prepare the meal, plate it beautifully, and then leave it untouched, unable to cross the threshold of memory and pain that eating it would require. The scent alone is usually enough to reduce her to silence. The only thing that she does enjoy is her mother's pumpkin muffins and she can only eat half of a muffin.

In the end, Bianca’s preferences around food aren’t about taste or texture. They are psychological scars given physical form. Her demonic hunger is always present, quiet and constant, but food is where her grief manifests. Food is history. Food is ritual. And in Bianca’s case, food is pain carefully curated into pleasure. What she eats is a reflection of what she can bear to remember and what she refuses to ever relive.

Question 3 | Bianca Moore | Question 5

Sexuality is never a simple checkbox, especially not for someone like Bianca Amara Moore. For a being shaped by trauma, legacy, and divine violence, the question of who she loves and how she loves is less about labels and more about survival, sovereignty, and soul-deep recognition. Bianca’s sexuality is not merely an orientation. It’s a quiet revolution against a world that has tried to define her through desire, power, and control.

For the third question of 'Get to Know My OC', we’ll explore how her demisexual and demiromantic identity shapes her relationships, how it defies the expectations set by her demonic bloodline, and how it ultimately becomes a cornerstone of her reclamation.

Possible Trigger Warnings: coercion, sexual trauma, vivisection

Bianca Amara Moore's sexuality is deeply intertwined with her identity, trauma, and transformation, reflecting her emotional depth and her constant evolution. At her core, Bianca is demisexual and demiromantic: someone who does not experience sexual or romantic attraction unless a profound emotional connection has already been established. This element of her identity is not a mere footnote. It fundamentally shapes her relationships, particularly in a universe where temptation, manipulation, and power often masquerade as intimacy. Bianca’s demisexuality acts as a form of emotional armor in a world that has relentlessly tried to strip her of agency, offering a sharp contrast to the seductive nature typically associated with her succubi lineage.

Her capacity for attraction encompasses people of all genders—men, women, trans, nonbinary—but emotional resonance is always the first gate. Her relationships do not spring from lust or aesthetics. They emerge from shared pain, earned trust, and soul-deep understanding. This is why Mordecai, despite their closeness, never fully awakened the passionate side of her. Their bond was grounded in shared hardship and companionship, but it lacked that raw, overwhelming emotional intertwining she later finds with Sephiroth.

In Bianca’s case, the presence of trauma sharpens her selectivity even further; vulnerability, for her, is earned over time, not freely given. Her identity isn’t fluid in the chaotic sense. It is deliberate, steady, and deeply felt.

Bianca’s demisexual nature takes on a particularly interesting complexity when considered in contrast with her demonic and celestial origins. Her succubus ancestry implies a natural magnetism and seductive aura, but she rarely wields it for gratification. Her allure is a side effect, not a weapon. While others may assume a promiscuous nature based on appearance or power, Bianca’s reality is the opposite: she finds the very concept of casual intimacy uncomfortable, even alienating. Despite her lineage, at 23, she was still a virgin when she met Sephiroth in the Underground Study of the Shinra Manor. This is a fact that speaks more to her guarded heart than to circumstance. Her trauma from Project N and her vivisection under Shinra’s control further hardens this boundary. Her body was used and violated, and now, she chooses carefully who gets access to her mind, her emotions, and her form.

Her bond with Sephiroth is the truest expression of her sexual and romantic identity. With him, the connection began as kindred souls: two beings ripped apart by cosmic manipulation and divine cruelty, bound by purpose and pain. Their relationship evolved through shared suffering, mutual trust, and a vision that transcended individual pleasure. When they finally become intimate hours before the Nibelheim Incident, it’s less about physicality and more about the spiritual resonance that courses between them. It is only after such a bond is solidified that Bianca's sensual side emerges, and even then, it is wielded with intensity and purpose, not frivolity. Her love is possessive, all-consuming, obsessive, but only after she chooses it.

Ultimately, Bianca’s sexuality cannot be separated from her agency. In a universe obsessed with controlling her—through prophecy, experimentation, or love corrupted by power—her demisexuality is a subtle rebellion. It affirms that connection matters more than lust, that emotion is not weakness but the crucible of true desire. Through her bond with Sephiroth, she reclaims her sensuality not as a tool of manipulation or coercion, but as an extension of her own sovereign will. Her sexuality is not defined by who she is attracted to, but when and why. In that timing lies her greatest power.

Question 1 | Bianca Moore | Question 3

Meet Bianca Amara Moore: a woman born on a date that echoes apocalypse, fated not by life but by cataclysm. Her existence isn’t measured in years, but in cosmic upheavals and metaphysical scars.

On paper, she’s a Libra born in 1976. In truth, she’s a paradox: forged in a celestial war, tempered by loss, and reborn through fire and trauma.

In this deep-dive, we peel back the layers of Bianca’s age, zodiac, and the eerie synchronicity of her birthday to uncover the celestial chaos that shaped her. This isn’t just character trivia. It’s the anatomy of a soul split between prophecy and rebellion.

Possible Trigger Warnings: abuse, betrayal, body horror, death, manipulation, trauma, vivisection

Bianca Amara Moore was born on October 1st, 1976: a date that tragically mirrors the destruction of Nibelheim and Sephiroth’s descent into the Lifestream. Though she was conceived centuries earlier on the Abyssal Plane, her forced displacement into the future anchors her temporally and emotionally to that date. The synchronicity of her birthday with Sephiroth’s fall is no coincidence. It marks not just a personal milestone, but a cosmic fracture.

Bianca’s "birth" wasn’t a beginning in the traditional sense. It was a tearing away from a larger, divine narrative and the inciting beat of her own unraveling. She is 28 in human years, but her soul, worn from eons of warping dimensions and defying death, carries the weary gravitas of someone who’s seen the cycle of life and death too many times to count.

As a Libra, Bianca is born under the sign of balance, duality, and judgment, yet her existence spits in the face of symmetry. Where a traditional Libra may seek harmony, Bianca embodies the shattering of it. She carries within her the contradiction of angelic grace and infernal fury and is torn between a desire to be loved and the need to raze all that has hurt her. Her zodiac sign acts like a cracked mirror, reflecting what she should have been in a world untainted by gods, demons, and cosmic prophecies.

Instead of being a diplomat or idealist, she is a harbinger -- of Death and Rebirth -- forever tipping the scales rather than balancing them. This makes her an anomaly among archetypes: a being driven by idealism but forged by ruin.

In the main events of Final Fantasy VII, Bianca’s age feels like a curse in itself. In many mythologies, 28 is the age of Saturn return, a brutal metaphysical rite of passage that forces the soul to confront everything it has ignored or buried. Bianca’s Saturn return doesn’t just ask her to reflect. It demands she unmake herself. She’s at the precise point where idealism starts to rot and power must either become purposeful or poisonous. This is the age where her past: the vivisections, the betrayals, her abuse by Asmodeus, and the manipulation by both Hojo and Sephiroth can no longer be compartmentalized. Her choices must now define her. Will she follow Sephiroth and Jenova as a loyal consort of entropy, or become something even more dangerous: a self-willed force with her own vision of rebirth?

That October 1st connection is deeply symbolic, not just because it aligns with Sephiroth’s fall, but because it puts Bianca inextricably at the intersection of personal loss and global catastrophe. Her birthday becomes a death-day for the world as it was. It represents her own shift from anti-hero to weaponhood, from a girl who sang lullabies and longed for love to a woman who now channels starlight through a cursed blade. Every year when the date rolls around, it’s not a celebration. It’s a funeral. And yet, there's something sacred about it. In the ash of Nibelheim, in the scream of the Planet, and the rebuilding of her trauma, Bianca was born again. She was reborn not as a victim, but as a destroyer unafraid to wield her pain as prophecy.

Ultimately, Bianca’s celestial chart is a battlefield. Her Libra sun fights against the abyss, her 8w5 personality wrestles with intimacy and control, and her hybrid nature refuses to settle into one path. She is the very contradiction she seeks to reconcile: divine yet damned, devoted yet dangerous, broken yet beautiful. The stars didn’t write her fate. They merely warned the universe of her prophecy and that they were coming.

Question 6 | Bianca Moore | Question 8

When I think of Bianca Moore, I don't just hear a single song. I hear a curated of music, a soundtrack that mirrors her unraveling and rebirth. Music has always been an extension of emotion, and for a character like Bianca, whose soul is equal parts divine light and unholy fire, one song simply isn’t enough.

Her themes span genres, moods, and meanings. Each track reflects a different facet of her evolution: victim, survivor, lover, monster, martyr. This playlist isn't about aesthetics or ambiance. It’s a psychological roadmap. The right songs don’t just accompany her. They explain her. So if you want to understand Bianca Moore for this Get to Know My OC question, don’t just read her story. Listen.

Bianca Moore’s theme song — “You Should See Me in a Crown” by Billie Eilish — is more than a mood. It’s a manifesto. The track captures her dangerous charisma, her calculated intensity, and the raw, simmering power that always lies just beneath her elegant, often theatrical exterior. It’s not just the dark glamour of the beat or the venomous allure in the lyrics. It’s the threat. That quiet, creeping certainty that she will burn down whatever stands in her way, with a sly smile and a bloodstained blade. This song encapsulates the way Bianca reclaims power after years of being hunted, experimented on, and emotionally unraveled. When she walks into a room, this is the hum in the background, vibrating like a warning.

But Bianca is not a one-note force of destruction. Her emotional range, fractured psyche, and obsessive love are layered in nuance, and that’s where her secondary theme songs come in. “Gasoline” by Halsey echoes her fractured mental state. It's the sense of being viewed as a spectacle, dissected for her power, never truly seen as a person. The lyrics speak to her duality: part divinity, part monster, and always walking the knife’s edge of control. “Cradles” by Sub Urban captures her jarring blend of childlike trauma and unholy power, all wrapped in a surreal, dreamlike cadence that fits her time in the Ethereal Nexus and the Mindscape with Sephiroth. These songs capture the chaos within. They represent the beautiful, corrupted mess she’s become.

“Paint It Black” and “Lilith” by Halsey are a study in contrast and catharsis. “Paint It Black” reflects her descent. Her eyes taking in the world through the lens of grief and rage with her heart stained by betrayal and loss. Meanwhile, “Lilith” mirrors her embrace of sensuality and dominance, her refusal to be anything less than powerful, desirable, and feared. It’s Bianca in her post-human stage. She is no longer bound by celestial expectations or moral binaries. She is Lilith reborn: vengeful, liberated, and unrepentant. These songs don’t soften her. They define her as something no longer beholden to light or dark alone.

Her deeper love for Sephiroth, her tragic obsession, and her sacrifice come through most clearly in “Angel” by Poets of the Fall and “Here I Am” by Tommee Profitt. These are not villain anthems, but declarations of loyalty and loss. “Angel” is Bianca at her most vulnerable, as she remembers what it meant to be loved and to lose it. “Here I Am” is the voice she projects to Sephiroth: strong, unwavering, and ready to follow him into annihilation if it means they stay together. These themes show her softer side. This is the part of her still clinging to memory andl wanting to be seen as more than a tool or a weapon.

Finally, “Villain” by Droopy, “Pretty Little Psycho” by The Exorcist, and “How Villains Are Made” by Madalen Duke stitch together her identity in the public eye. To Gaia, she is the monster and Sephiroth’s shadow, his whore, and his shield. But to herself? She’s not evil. She’s necessary. These tracks embody the dissonance between perception and truth. They are unapologetic, brash, and deliciously defiant. They represent Bianca’s rejection of being cast as tragic heroine or mere side character. In her eyes, villains aren’t born. They’re forged, and she bears every scar as proof. Her playlist is a mirror: seductive, violent, sorrowful, and divine.

Here is her full playlist on Spotify.

9.3.24: GTKMO: Issue # 3: Bianca Moore

Ah. The third issue of Get to Know My Character is going to focus on Bianca and her time in the Final Fantasy 7 universe. I have to admit that I am so excited for this arc I have planned for Bianca. It's very rare that I will write the villain as the protagonist, but here we are.

As September is upon us and the only remaining of my COVID is a hacking cough, I'm looking forward to getting fully back into writing. I'm also excited that my husband decided to join me on Tumblr as @bigbillythewetwilly. And of course, he names himself off of a cat meme he found on Youtube. lol.

As always, Sephiroth's death is taken from the anime: Last Order: Final Fantasy VII.

What is your character’s current conflict? What steps are they taking to address this conflict?

Trigger Warnings: Violence, Trauma, Psychological Distress, Obsessive Devotion, Exile, Loss of Identity, Manipulation, Self-Destructive Behavior, Main Character Death, Canon x OC, AU: Canon Divergent

Bianca’s conflict arose from her fatal flaw: her obsessive devotion to Sephiroth. After she watched her father, Azrakiel, behead her husband with only his claws, she felt immense grief. This allowed her to form an emotional bond to the SOLDIER 1st Class member, Sephiroth. Their mystical link allowed them to read each other’s thoughts, feel each other’s pain, and experience each other’s emotions. This allowed her mind to be vulnerable to emotional highs and lows.

After she emerged from the cosmic rift that sent her crashing into Sephiroth and she woke up from her unconscious state, she found his developing psychosis affecting her, as well as the grief from losing a love one, allowing her to trauma bond with him. Then, when she sees him stabbed in the back by Cloud and begs him to stay with her only for him to step off the platform into the mako vats below, she begun her fall from grace which directly fostered the start of her histrionic personality disorder and devotion to Sephiroth: even as he planned to end the world with Meteor and merge with the Lifestream.

Of course, there is a lot more that goes into shaping her devotion to him. I haven’t touched upon how her love for him exiled her from the Celestial Realm and how she will never feel the Eternal Moonlight upon her skin or how he can influence her — much like he does with his clones, including Cloud — but she gave up her world, her friends, and her very identity for this man.

There is several steps Bianca is currently taking right now to address her internal conflict. The first one is that she is fully embracing her dark side and any powers that come with her Jenova infusion, as well as her natural demonic abilities. This includes and is not limited to learning how to manipulate space-time and reality.

As she delves further into her role as Sephiroth’s ally, she is determine to suppress any memories of her former life with Sesshomaru and her mother, Seraphine, who lives as a living conscious within her. She will use her manipulative skills to control and deceive those around her, as she tries to control her position within the narrative: of finding the Promised Land eventually.

Bianca is a villain who is unabashedly loyal to her partner and will do anything to see his goals succeed.

[bardic-tales]

7.3.24: GTKMO: Issue # 2: Seraphine

Welcome to the second issue of Get to Know My OC, focusing on the original content part of Fantasy Worlds Collide. I decided to focus his issue on Seraphine, the biological mother to Bianca Moore.

As I explained in the last issue of GTKMO, I wanted to give Bianca to resemble the ‘blood of the ancients’ line that Sephiroth said in Final Fantasy 7. For Bianca, Blood of the Ancients meant celestial parenting. Both of her parents were archangels before her father’s own fall from Grace. Her mother, a watcher, is an archangel who was sent to the mortal realms to watch over mortals and keep the balance of all realms.

Seraphine’s name is not really that complicated. When I rewrote Bianca Moore’s biography, I named her Seraphine because of her being a seraphim race. I had a much harder time of deciding a name for her that called out to me and said ‘hold up, NL. That’s her name’.

For my angels, I try to keep them sounding like biblical counterparts, but this didn’t exactly work for Seraphine. At least, for me, it didn’t. One name that she went by was Uriel before I changed that angel’s role in my AU. I still had the problem where no biblical name sounded right when I was naming this character.

It wasn’t until I added different combinations of letters to seraphim until I came across the combination of Seraphine. I don’t know exactly what jumped out about it, but I thought it was perfect and a wonderful fit for the self-sacrificing angel who has guided Bianca through all of her life as a living conscious, as some sort of angelic Jimmy Cricket.

6.29.24: GTTKMO: Issue #1: Azrakiel.

I figured I would bring this back to this blog. I really found this exercise to be really helpful to get into the heads of my characters. For the first issue of this, I will explore the fallen angel Azrakiel.

Introduce your OC. What is their name? Do they have a full name?

When I first developed Bianca over twenty-seven years ago, I never considered her a fallen angel (or Nephilim, since the primordial demons are angels who sided with Lucifer in the Heavenly war.) Last year, I developed her more and since she was originally Final Fantasy 7 OC, Sephiroth’s words about the blood of ancients kept rolling through my mind, forcing me to have to redesign some basic information in her backstory completely, as I wanted to connect her history to have some type of ‘blood of ancients’. Thus, I developed her father to become a commander of the original Heavenly War.

As such, I needed to come up with a name for this mystery man who was the antagonist of every piece I wrote for the Fantasy Worlds Collide Multiverse. I looked at some names associated with angels: Adriel, Azrael, Gabriel, Michael, and Uriel. I knew I wanted something that would flow and have the name end in -iel.

I brainstormed a few names. Each one had that same ending: -iel. Only one of them really stood out to me and leapt off the page at me. Azrakiel. Azrakiel has no meaning outside of Fantasy Worlds Collide, as it was only a made-up name. In the Multiverse, Azrakiel is commonly known as the ‘angel of balance’, as he belongs to the group of Watcher Archangels, just like Arakiel. He and his comrade, Seraphine, would often receive assignments to monitor different areas of the Multiverse and intervene only when the delicate balance of Creation was at risk.

Once I was writing the timeline for the second age of Fantasy Worlds Collide, I knew I wanted Azrakiel to become one demon that I knew actually knew about. And while Bianca was originally a Final Fantasy 7 OC, I wanted to make expand on her. Around 2016-17, I gave her her own original story and make it exist in something that I called the Lydia verse: a loose collection of novellas and novels that were to loosely connect together. The genres that I planned to feature spanned everything from Romantic Suspense to Gothic Horror. I have since scrapped that idea, but not the work I put into creating my angelic and demonic realms. I still have notebooks filled with crude drawings and lore written in the margins.

Inside of the world of Fantasy Worlds Collide, Azrakiel’s motivation is to surpass Lucifer and the Creator Deity. I have come up with a prophecy that foretold a being that has a duality. This person will be the one who will bring the entire Multiverse to heel. Azrakiel saw this as his opportunity to be all knowing, all seeing, and all powerful. Since the prophecy I created centered on the birth of an individual, I narrowed down the demon who he would eventually embody: Asmodeus. This has now become his demonic name.

Question 7 | Bianca Moore | Question 8

Welcome back to the Get to Know My OC series: Fantasy Worlds Collide. Today’s spotlight falls on Bianca Moore, a character who refuses to be confined to any single definition. She is not just a figure in a fictional world. She is the world itself in flux. Through each of her incarnations, Bianca embodies contradiction: sacred yet defiled, earthly yet cosmic, wounded yet unstoppable.

In this entry, we’re peeling back the layers of her complex identity by exploring her occupations: plural, and intentionally so. For Bianca, career doesn’t mean what it means to most. Her work is obsession. It’s survival. It’s devotion, transgression, and ascension all at once. So, if you’re intrigued by characters who don’t just play roles but become them, keep reading because Bianca doesn’t clock in and out. She is the job.

Possible Trigger Warnings: body horror, cosmic horror, cult activity, demonic possession, experimental surgery, identity erasure, lab experimentation, mind control, obsessive love, psychological trauma, religious extremism, ritual sacrifice, self-harm (ritualistic), sexual trauma (implied), spiritual abuse, systemic abuse, and violence (graphic and symbolic), sacred and profane themes overlapping, non-consensual transformation, and trauma survival

Bianca Moore’s occupation is as fractured and multifaceted as the soul she carries. On Earth, she thrives in the public eye as a published romance novelist, spinning tales of dark desire and impossible love that reflect the undercurrents of her own tumultuous past. Writing is not just a profession for her. It’s a form of psychological release, transforming personal anguish into cathartic, consumable fiction. Her novels often straddle the line between fantasy and horror, laced with esoteric symbolism and emotional intensity.

Underneath the acclaim lies a woman haunted by memory, using fiction as a shield from the very forces that shaped her life. Though Earth views her as a mysterious, reclusive literary figure, her writing is merely the surface of a much deeper, cosmic role.

On Gaia, however, Bianca sheds the glamorous veil of her authorial persona and assumes a more sacred and sinister role: Priestess (self appointed) and Consort of Sephiroth. This is no mere title. It is a divine and metaphysical bond, rooted in prophecy and forged through torment, desire, and transcendence. As Priestess, she is the spiritual extension of Sephiroth’s will, his confidante and his mirror in the ritualistic pursuit of cosmic ascension. Their union is symbolic and literal, fusing celestial ritualism with demonic intent.

In ceremonies drenched in her and planetary blood, Bianca channels the corrupted spirit of the cosmos, transforming herself into an instrument of divine undoing. Her role is to amplify Sephiroth’s goals, to ground his will into reality, and to birth not just life, but chaos itself.

Yet Bianca’s role as a test subject cannot be separated from the spiritual and romantic titles she holds. It is, in many ways, the crucible in which all her roles are forged. Under the twisted eye of Shinra, Hojo, and Ravencroft’s obsession, Bianca is reduced to a living experiment: one whose body and soul are dissected, fused with S-cells, and Jenova cells in order to birth the next evolution of war, a Sephiroth 2.0.

Her divinity is corrupted by her time as a lab rat, as her body a living altar for experimentation and desecration. This degradation becomes central to her identity. She is both sacred vessel and disposable flesh, as she is broken and venerated by Sephiroth and defiled by Shinra. And in true Bianca fashion, she survives it. She does not crawl from the labs broken. She walks out remade: sharper, darker, and baptized in pain and manipulation.

Her occupations, though varied and often in conflict, are bound by a singular thread: devotion. Whether she’s crafting bestsellers on Earth, anointing herself in blood, or enduring surgical torments in the bowels of Shinra, everything Bianca does is tied to her obsession with Sephiroth and their shared destiny. Her career as a writer allows her to process the trauma of her former human life. Her priesthood sanctifies the chaos. Her time as a test subject radicalizes her resolve. Together, these roles don’t dilute her identity. They crystallize it. Each position she holds in the cosmic hierarchy is a reflection of a soul split in half, reforged in pain, and aligned with the only being she has ever seen as her equal.

Bianca is not just a woman with jobs. She is an occupation herself: to Sephiroth, to Gaia, and to Creation. She is labor incarnate: working tirelessly to rip the seams of reality open and remake the world in their shared, corrupted image. And in this new world, she does not want to simply survive. She wants to reign. To write the future not in ink, but in fire. To birth chaos, to sanctify it, and to watch as the stars fall in line with the prophecy that no god could stop -- even though the Creator tried.
