### Early Life

Sung was born on January 15th, 2003 in Seoul, her family moved to Ulsan when she was two years old. She had mostly normal childhood, though signs that her powers were growing were beginning to be hinted but it was extremely subtle. Her parents merely thought that the magic gene must have skipped her and she would be an ordinary human.

#### Hints of Magic

> "I made an illusion and cured my friend of her illness, guess the gene didn't skip me after all."
>

One time when she was four, Sung created an illusion of her favorite cartoon character while she was playing with her parents. It suddenly hit them and they both agreed to stick to tradition of revealing the magic to her unless otherwise. This continued for the next few years, her parents quietly taught her to keep it in the house, not in public.

Her first use of destiny magic was when she learned that her friend was awfully sick, she got so upset she released a surge of destiny magic and it spread to her friend, causing her to not be sick anymore. Afterwards, her parents discovered this and began to teach her how to control her emotions in fear that she could change the entire fate of the universe. Her magic powers began to climb towards her full potential when she hit puberty

### Discovery of Powers

> "I thought they were high, smoking weed or something, maybe they were drunk. Wrong was I."

One day, while she was 15 years old and was walking to school, she saw a robber and a few thugs fighting each other, unknown to her one of the thugs was actually an assassin and the robbers were actually spies and the whole thing was meant to keep an eye on her. But she merely ignored it and went on with her day, when she got out of school, an assassin hired by somebody unknown targeted her constantly, she did not know this and thought maybe it was a bunch of weird coincidences of brushes to death. While she was out in a restaurant with her friends, the assassin drugged her drink and when she collapsed inside the bathroom, they stole her and tied her up, gagged her on a chair in an empty dimly lit room.

When she awoke, she was being held at gunpoint and her captor said she would be let free if she surrendered her power. She obviously had no idea and this angered the captor, setting off a chain of events. She was starved for a week and beaten while her worried parents contacted the police. Just as she was about to be killed by a gun, she activated her powers and used her destiny magic to kill them unknowingly, as she still had hardly any control of her power. She also heard strange voices, she thought the people were sleeping and she fled as fast as she could back home. She was embraced by her parents and as soon as she got fed, asked what happened.

She confessed everything and asked if this stuff was true, though she highly doubted it at the time. Her parents told her the entire family history and what they really were, they were still human but a subspecies of human, known as Mystic Humans. They were in everyday society and some of their neighbors were Mystic Humans. They told her she would by helped by them to master her magic and even showed proof of their magic, she was shocked then agreed about the reality.

### Adopting the Alias Moonshadow

> "I learned of Andromeda and others, I thought hey why not be like those comics."
>
>

After figuring out the whole truth about her magic, her parents helped her train and control all of her magic, she learned of Andromeda and other superpowered beings and discovered she was not alone. She also learned that her bloodline helped keep magic threats at bay as it was their sworn duty and she joined in. She made her very own suit and got a mask, only fighting magical threats. She quickly went viral and people began to wonder if the superhero thing was really international, she was caught by the media one day and asked what her name was, she paused for a moment before declaring her name to be Moonshadow.

She became a celebrity and many people wondered about her and her true intentions, she only appeared when magical threats did, she is considered a mystery. She became famous across various social platforms and is idolized as the best and only superhero in South Korean history.

### A New Villain: Jade Lightning

> "A superhero can't be a superhero without an archenemy."
>
>

Reports began to spread about a mysterious cloaked figure who could cast lightning from their fingers or create shadows out of thin air, she merely dismissed them as rumors but on her way to buy something, she saw the cloaked figure and found her doing the exact same things. She quickly changed into her suit and confronted Jade Lightning, they had an intense battle and Moonshadow nearly lost, if not for her illusion magic she would be dead. Jade Lightning declared herself the ultimate enemy of Moonshadow and her bloodline and that their battle would only stop at the end of time. Then Jade Lightning retreated, casting shadow magic over herself and vanished.

She became pressured by media, asking who and why Jade Lightning made the statement she did. She promised she would come back with answers and quickly fled. She was extremely overwhelmed now that she had more attention and had an archenemy, who publicly declared herself, she decided to seek help from her parents.

### The Truth About Jade Lightning

> "Well my nemesis was supposed to be my nemisis from the moment I was born."
>
>

She asked her parents about Jade Lightning, at first they were hesitant but agreed after learning the truth about what happened, they poured out of the details of what happened between their families. Why Jade Lightning hated Moonshadow and their bloodline differences.

Before the Magic War, Jade Lightning and Moonshadow's families were great friends, even allies. They battled alongside magical threats together, rendering themselves practically unstoppable. They frequently gifted each other, it was a mostly peaceful and happy time for both families. However everything changed when the Magic War happened.

#### Magic War

> "A whole war that split two long time friends and family."
>
>

A rebellion named the Reignition of Darkness wanted to make the Dark Arts (Dark Magic) legal again in the magic community, it was ignored at first but turned into a full blown war once high-ups began taking sides. The Cheong Family wanted to keep dark magic illegal but the Baek family wanted to make dark magic legal, they went from friends to being quick enemies on the opposite sides of the war. It was a deadly war but the result was split, some places made dark magic legal, some still had dark magic be illegal.

The families declared themselves enemies and the Baek family moved away from where the Cheong family resided, not wanting be associated with them again. The entire family initially thought they quit advocating for the dark arts, however upon learning of Sung's information, it was debunked as false quickly.

### The Start of a War

> "We then began to keep fighting back and forth, do you know how exhausting that is?"
>
>

Ever since then, they have been fighting constantly every day back and forth, with their victories being equal each time. None of them are sure which one of them will win, it's an intense conflict that will possibly go on for a long time, maybe even extending to family members to fulfill each of their duties. Sung is determined to change Jade Lightning's fate, pouring a lot of time into practicing and mastering her destiny magic.

Jade Lightning wants to master her shadow magic as soon as possible to battle Moonshadow and defeat her and win the war between them that had raged between their bloodline for so long. Both sides equally work hard and there is no telling for sure who will win, it's 50/50 chances.

### Another Magical Threat

> "Don't trust mysterious letters telling you to meet somewhere but I had magic to defend myself, so what?"
>
>

Just after she finished another battle with Jade Lightning, a mysterious letter floated down and challenged Moonshadow to a fight in a mysterious closed off area she had never heard of. She changed back and informed her parents of her findings, they told her to ignore it and continue doing what she was doing as Moonshadow, only fight magical threats, not fabricated non-magical threats,

The date came closer and she grew increasingly worried, training harder and harder on herself to ensure her own safety. On the day of the date, she prayed that Jade Lightning wouldn't do a single thing and hitched a ride onto a bus without her parents knowing, believing she was fighting magical crime as usual.

#### Encountering Jade Lightning

> "What are you doing here?"
> "No no what are you doing here?"
>
>

She quickly changed into her suit and arrived in the place, she noticed Jade Lightning and Jade Lightning noticed her, they both questioned each other before concluding that they were both sent here, to fight somebody, but who? They waited for ten minutes before their enemy showed up from the shadows in the back of the wall.

A cloaked figure stood there, hovering for a moment before removing their hood, revealing a white blonde girl with blue eyes. She declared herself to be the most powerful mystic human and that she was going to destroy anybody in her way, including Jade Lightning and Moonshadow. She began an intense battle with the two of them, taunting them, they both agreed to team up together, since the girl declared one of her goals was destroying every kind of magic but the magic she uses and killing every Mystic Human in sight.

#### Temporary Teamwork

> "Team up? Just for once."
> "Alright but you owe me one."
>
>

Arrogantly, the girl declared that destiny magic was her weakness, but nobody was strong enough to possess it because nobody had seen it in action for hundreds of years. They both came up with a plan, Jade Lightning would distract her and taunt the girl, saying she was too weak to kill fellow mystic humans. With her guard down, Moonshadow would use her destiny magic to cast her fate to be giving up her magic powers and have no memory of magic and would never question magic and would believe magic to be fake and would send her to live off into the United States of America.

They launched the plan, Jade Lightning began to taunt and mock the girl, saying she was weak and soft, not tough enough to be the strongest mystic human and that her magic was the weakest out of the other kinds. As expected, this angered her and began to loosen her plan, her magic being controlled by rage now and it was loosing its focus, being sent all over the place and can easily be dodged.

Jade Lightning got cornered though and signaled for Moonshadow to use her destiny magic, she began to use it and the girl quickly became scared and helpless, begging to be spared, not knowing that the magic would kill her, Moonshadow used it and the girl died. She instantly felt guilty that she killed a person and started sobbing, Jade Lightning comforted her and promised no more fighting for a month, for her to have a chance to recover.

#### Aftermath

> "Quite brutal afterwards, I literally just killed somebody."
>
>

She stayed there for an hour and Jade Lightning comforted her continually and waited for her to be ready, she agreed to go home and they parted ways, wishing each other good luck until the next time they see each other. When Moonshadow got home, her parents were of course angry and she got an immense scolding for lying and sneaking out. She was forced to tell the truth.

When she finished, her parents stopped giving her dagger eyes and hugged her, asked her if she was alright, if she felt funny. She became confused and said she felt fine, it turns out the person she battled was a powerful mystic human named Charlotte, who lived for thousands of years and battled every destiny magic haver to gain their power, if a mystic human kills a fellow mystic human, they have to absorb the power otherwise it would fall into the wrong hands. However since she didn't know how to absorb the power, it retreated to her nearest owned object, a rare and expensive sapphire bracelet, she has since added it to her suit.

She decided to research a little more about Charlotte and discovered a whole hidden online network community that was entirely composed of Mystic Humans, her parents didn't pay attention much to the online community since they didn't use internet often, Charlotte was a forbidden name now in the Mystic Human community and people looked down upon people named Charlotte in shame. She learned more about mystic humans who used the dark arts, history of mystic humans, and how cleverly they hid in normal every day society.

### A break

> "Couldn't keep up heroism forever, so took a break and that blew up the media."
>
>

She took a one month break to recollect her thoughts and took that time to join the Mystic Human online network, learn and connect with other people, in that time period, she made new friends. Korean media thought that Moonshadow was dead in a fierce battle with Jade Lightning, though none was confirmed and people searched for answers, it was obviously a very big deal since South Korea lost it's only hero it could rely on and more unchecked magic began raging in the area and it was dismissed as delusions.

Some even made online tributes with captions similar to "달빛 그림자가 놓칠 것입니다." or Moonlight shadows will be missed, in private response, she began to construct a speech to address to the public when she returned, it took her a little bit but she finished soon enough and it was her last day on break. She was ready and the first day of being back as Moonshadow, she changed into her suit and went off.

### Moonshadow's Return

> "It was like I came back from the dead, who knew I was so popular?"
>
>

She exited her home and found the most popular public spot and sat on a ledge, people began to take pictures and soon news reporters arrived as well. When asked what happened, she began to say this speech, one which stunned the public and got her popular on social media and Jade Lightning gained traction as well.

"나는 내가 죽었다고 생각한 사람들에게 매우 유감이며,나는 틈새에 있었고 나 자신을 위해 약간의 시간이 필요했습니다. 하지만 이런 일이 가까운 미래에 다시 발생하지 않습니다,나는 모든 마법의 위협을 처리 할 것,특히,옥 번개,여러분 모두 감사합니다. 안녕히 계세요." or "I am very sorry for those who thought I was dead, I was in a hiatus and needed some time for myself. But this will not happen again in the near future, and I will deal with all the magical threats, especially, Jade Lightning, thank you all. Good-bye." She then resumed fighting against Jade Lightning.

### The War Begins

> "Everything was mostly back to normal except.."
>
>

Her double life was normal, she graduated high school and got into one of the top colleges in the country and studied hard, getting good grades. Her battles with Jade Lightning were still happening but Jade Lightning eased on her a bit, she was happy with how her life was going. However one day, while watching the news and getting ready for her college classes, a mysterious figure that was gray-skinned and had green eyes and overall looked alien appeared at her window. He screamed something in English which was, "I will conquer you all!" Before seemlingly flying off. She thought it was a stupid prank but as the week went on she saw more and more of him throughout the week.

Finally on Saturday, he hacked all of the TVs in South Korea, he declared that he would have a talk with every superhero in the world and that included Moonshadow. Then the broadcast changed back and quickly confusion erupted and she was questioned by media again. Apparently, the entity wanted every superhero in America. It was close to summer break and after she finished exams, she traveled to America and met up with other superheroes, they hid out in a certain area and began planning.
