**Iana Moon** is one of the main protagonists of **Raizen's Rebirth.** She is an X Grade Revenant and teacher at Aurora High school, but she's also a part time instructor at Vikings Community College in Honey Hills. She is also the current holder of the demon wolf spirit Markorrias, which was sealed inside her at an early age of four. Additionally, Iana is the daughter of Xona Kurenai, making her part of the Kurenai clan and the direct descendent to one of the most legendary Revenants the world has ever seen.

## **Background**

### **Early Life**

Iana was born on the night of December 12th to Xona Kurenai and Daniella Nightingale. After she was born, her father quickly disappeared from her life and at the age of six Iana's mother passed away from a disease that back then doctors were unable to identify. At age 13 Iana would later find out that this disease was the cause of her mother being cursed by the people around her, which allowed a **Blight** to manifest on her body and eat away at her spiritual radiance until it is completely devoured, resulting in her mothers death. Once Iana's mom had passed, she was left all alone without anyone to watch out for her because she didn't know anyone else in her family. Due to her mothers health, she quit school to look after her and since her mother had broke off ties with her family Iana's grandparents had no idea about the situation. Iana would live on the streets for the next 6 months until she was found passed out in an alley way by a masked man named Yami who offered her a chance to live a new life and she took it.

Yami took Iana across the seas to a religious monastery deep in the mountains of **Toyama** in Joushin. After she was taken in, she was taught how to fight, harness her spiritual radiance and she was trained to strengthen her body Additionally, she was introduced to other kids around her age who were taken in just like her and because of that she built strong bonds with them. However, as she reached the age of eight Iana along with the other children were put into a room and instructed to "fight for survival," by their caretakers. There were informed that the winner will be given a gift from God, to become his faithful servant that will serve to reform this world and cleanse this planet from sin. This is the moment Iana recalls as the moment she realized who she really was inside and in her own her owns she said she was a "Monster."

After Iana had slain each one of her former friends she was taken by **Jyro** downstairs to the sanctuary, but before she could enter the sanctuary she needed to be bathed and clothed. The caretakers then prepared a feast for her, with the main dishes being lamb, bread and wine. Afterwards she was finally allowed in the sanctuary and that was the first time she saw all seven members of the Eternal together. It was also the first time she had seen Yami in two years, whom she quickly realized he was the leader of the group. The group explained what was going to happen to her after she was given Gods gift, they also explained the pain she would endure when receiving it and asked if she was still willing to accept it. To which she replied "Yes, there's nothing more that I could ever want," and as soon as she spoke those words the deal had been done. The Eternal used a paintbrush to mark her body with sealing emblems, that were painted all over her and the main seal was placed around her stomach. Once, they brought in the Golden Head of Markorrias the ritual began, as they transferred his essence over into her body and the beast became trapped inside of her, making her officially a **Kishin.**

Two years later when Iana was age ten, the Dainoga along with the Malevolence, under the partnership of the Rogue's Shadows Association was able to locate the Eternals hideout and they infiltrated the building, but they were only able to capture lower rank members that didn't have much information. Nevertheless, they were able to secure Iana before the group was able to escape with her, yet many of the professionals working on the case felt that they were able to capture her way too easily and theorized that this may have been part of the Eternals plan all along. Due to this, they weren't exactly sure about what to do with Iana, some wanted to place her behind bars and others wanted her to be let go under the basis that she was a child. After a year of debating what to do with her, while of course trying a few things out a along the way, it was officially decided that she would be assigned to live with Julia Moon who was one of the lead Revenants on the case and the onw who organized the siege of the Eternals former hideout.

From the offset it seemed to be a perfect solution because Julia was a rising star in the Revenant community, she was touted for not just her strength, but for her detective skills as she previously had solved The Bloodborne Case as an intern and this case had been open for seven years previously. Plus, Julia was relatively young at age twenty-three and she owned her own apartment close by an RSA agency base in downtown Bay City, which was also similar to Iana's place of birth. However, this was by no means the perfect solution, since Iana vehemently despised Julia because in her mind she felt that Julia took everything away from her, that she stole her future away and Iana began facing the prospect that she is nothing special without the Eternal. Those feelings made it very easy for members of the Eternal to manipulate her in the future. Additionally, due to the way she felt about Julia Iana would often lash out and get her into trouble with the landlord by painting the apartment buildings with graffiti, plus she would also due other things like steal Julia's credit cards and etc. She also refused to take on Julia's last name, since she didn't remember what her original name was she ended up going by just Iana and Julia allowed this because she didn't want to force her to do it. She definitely tested her Julia's patience quite often, but she was able to tolerate it because she understood that she's just a child that is hurting and someone that's probably never had any love before.

As Iana turned the age of thirteen, she was forced to attend Belmont High School because it was the closest to their house and it wasn't too far away from the agency building. Additionally, a first class Revenant by the name of Will White was assigned as a teachers aid in order to keep his eyes on her while she was at school and away from Julia's sight. This was done to give Julia more time to dedicate solely on hunting down the Eternals, this also gave Will the chance to look into a new career and Iana the opportunity to try to obtain some sense of normalcy, but at first this decision only seemed to worsen things. Iana was totally dumbfounded by the schoolwork she was faced with because up to this point she has never had any education ever since the 2nd grade, plus she was also alienated by the others in her class for a long time as they were all well aware of the demon wolf spirit that laid within her and her abrasive personality didn't help either. Moreover, back then Belmont High wasn't a top tier school, so many of the teachers their were either incompetent, unreliable or plainly uninterested in the students at the school and instead just cashed in a paycheck. Of course things would change much later when Will decided that he actually wanted to become a full time faculty member and that he wanted to reshape the school into what it would become today.

In the early days of going to Belmont Iana hated her time their, so she did various things like get into fights, curse at teachers, break into locked rooms, cause fires and etc. to get herself suspended or expelled from the school. While she was able to get herself a few suspensions, she was mostly just thrown in the detention center or sent to the agency to be watched by Julia. There was a longtime in where Iana's only companion was just the wolf spirit inside her, but she was okay that because her and Markorrias were actually pretty close at the time yet their relationship was quite toxic as both of them bonded over their hatred for other. When Iana looked back at their relationship back then, she noted that Markorrias was just using her to break the seal and she was also using his power to feel special. Eventually, things changed when Iana was assigned to team with a few of the other classmates on a mission in aiding a neighborhood named Montpress Village rebuild their home after that neighborhood was caught in the middle of an all out gang war between **the Crimsons** and the **Azul's** that was going on very heavily at the time. They were also tasked with protecting the town from any gang violence or attacks while they were helping the townspeople rebuild their neighborhood. It was during this mission where Iana's mindset started to shift ever so slightly, as she unwillingly connected with her other classmates while they were aiding the townspeople and this was also when Will began transitioning himself from the role of teachers assistant to becoming an actual teacher.

## **Personality**

Iana's personality has many different shades and colors. She is normally seen to be very loud and abrasive, often taunting others with crude language whether they be friend or foe. However, she is very cruel, unsympathetic and demanding of professional executives, she tends to treat this individuals with distrust. She's very picky with who she'll befriend, as well as who she deem worthy of her time and she has no tolerance for people who constantly complain.

Iana is extremely confident in her abilities, her reputation as the **Queen of Monsters** and the most powerful **Starsplitter** currently within the world makes her feel invincible. While their hasn't been any formal declaration that she is the strongest around, most people believe so and seemingly she believes it as well. This makes her very arrogant and cocky, as well as feeding into her reckless decision making since she never feels herself in danger. Moreover this convinces her that she is the strongest in the entire world and as she proclaimed during her fight with (fill in the blank) "In all the realms and beyond them, only I am worthy!" Due to this God complex, Iana has a hard time caring about those she deems as weak and can only find genuine interest in those she see's with potential. This has caused her to question her humanity at times, she often wonders if she's even a good person since through her own acknowledgement she doesn't save or help people because its the right thing to do. Instead she does those things for either because she's supposed to or for her own benefit, she explained to Rin that she doesn't see **Yuno** as a person, but she see's him as another fight to push her beyond her limits and these make her feel "like a piece of shit."

These unresolved feelings of guilt, cause her to spend many nights alone drinking or sometimes she'll smoke weed relax her mind which is constantly racing. Behind close doors her cynicism and loneliness tends to peer through, as she wrestles her demons. Sometimes this side of her will come out during moments of frustration, apathy and numbness. She refuses to cry or get emotional in front of others because she views it as weakness and often see's herself as a pillar that needs to uphold a joyful atmosphere.

Nevertheless, during battle is when Iana feels like she's at home and she can truly be herself, which can very alarming due to the personality traits she displays when fighting. In battle Iana is a ferocious opponent that thrives in the heat of the moment or when her back is against the wall, she's also very malicious to her opponents and in fights she stated that she wants to "utterly destroy my opponent. I want them to know that I was better then them in every sense of the word." She's very cold to those she faces, as she often will tell them "You're just not good enough" and will proceed to utterly finish them off once. When she goes up against an opponent that she hates with her entire being, she tends not to say anything and instead let her overwhelming strength due the job. On the other hand because she is so confident in herself she often gets very reckless with how she fights in order to make things more "Interesting," for herself and this causes her to endanger other or miss things that people on her level would usually notice instantly, an example of this was on the train with Hikari and how she completely missed Nikolas due to Demor hiding his presence, but normally a starsplitter on her level would never miss this.

## **Appearance**

Iana is pretty tall for a woman standing at 5ft 8 inches tall and she's considered to be quite attractive by many people. She has golden blonde hair with spikey pink edges at the bottom, shining hazel eyes, hot pink lipstick and eye shadow. She is very muscular as well and ever since birth she can't remember a time when she didn't have an athletic build.

While working Iana often wears a black leather jacket that says the words "Aurora High School" on the back, a black tank top with a skull and crossbones logo or white t-shirt that sports the band **Zero** on it. She also wears blue jeans with black boots and silver goggles with orange lenses when riding her motorcycle. Iana has a few casual attires that usually involve netted shirts and ripped jeans, but she never wears dresses or skirts because she utterly despises them. The only time she would ever wear something like that is possibly on a date or if she's forced to by attending a formal event. There are rumors of a small period of time in which Iana attempted to reinvent herself back in her later years of high school and her early days in community college in where she would wear more feminine clothing and apparel, as well as make up too. Its also been rumored that she was secretly excited to dress up and just wanted to be asked whether or not she'd wear those type of clothes.
