Daniella/Araryx

> *The ground crumbled as the woman shined brighter than ever, replacing the night with the flash of pale, greenish light caused by Daniella's final transformation. "Fine.. if you want to expose me so much then I'll make sure the whole of Portugal knows my name, for I am Araryx, the one that has doomed this world and yet is cursed to rebuild it!" She took off her head scarf with her free hand, her hair shining bright enough to blind anyone around her, much less the teenager within her grasp. "If making a perfect world with a perfect familly means that I'll have to tear this one down, so be it!"*

## History

### Early Life

Daniella was born at the peak of her mother's career, in England. Ever since she was little, she had always shown to have her mother's passion for music, featuring in one of Olivia's songs at early as five years old and by age eight Daniella released her first album *"Little Lady Light"*, with a couple of its songs scoring high numbers as well as favorable placements in the most famous reviews of the era.

Daniella had a pretty good social life, even out of the spotlight she would always get along pretty well with the people around her, seeming to take her mother's sense of justice and her father's kindness and social skills. Still, Daniella quickly rose to popularity as she became more and more famous, people crowding around her and giving her all the attention she ever wanted. Ignoring the few bad apples, she couldn't get enough.

### The Great Hero Massacre

On June of 2011, Daniella and and her siblings were taken by their father to a charity event in honor of The Gargoyles' 20th anniversary, in which her mother would perform. It stang, slightly, not having been invited to perform as well, not getting the recognition she deserved.. not like it mattered, as the event was crashed by a super villain. It was odd. She was pretty sure she knew about most of the UK's super villains and yet some guy calling himself *"The Metal Protector"* made his debut in plain sight, apparently targeting the national super heroes themselves. It was a mess, with over fifteen heroes having to intervene.

Daniella ran amongst the panicked crowd and hid in the first relatively safe corner she could find, only to encounter a shadowy blob clumsily trying to run away and climbing onto the rooftops. After the shock of the encounter she realizes it dropped something shiny.. jewellery? Why would a blob be carrying around jewellery? Still, Daniella guessed it wouldn't hurt to try them on, especially the gorgeous earrings. What could go wrong?

A gust of wind and a blinding flash of light had pushed her to the ground, only for a massive, angel-like spectre to pull her back up. In terror, Daniella tried to remove the earrings, but they wouldn't bulge -- she was cornered with no way out, but the angel seemed kind, informing her on the mission she was now bound to. She had the powers to fix everything, to help defeat the threat that was taking over London. Finally gaining the courage to protect the city, Daniella took her first steps under the alias of Araryx: the parrot heroine!.. if she hadn't gotten there after the villain's defeat. Now what remained was one confused man and a dark butterfly people were saying gave it the powers, but that wasn't enough to discourage her. Instead, Araryx used her newfound super powers to leap high in the air and capture the evil butterfly inside of her weapon, a hand mirror.

Except nobody was looking.

For twelve-year-old Daniella, heroes were not only those who protected the innocent, but also celebrities; symbols of justice and hope with public, recognizable faces that inspired the people bellow. All Daniella had managed to do was capture something that gave people superpowers, but if nobody saw her do it, she wasn't really a super heroine, at least not yet. So she came up with a plan. Since the butterflies give people super powers and her power allows her to duplicate whatever she captures as many times as she wants, she'd free two or three butterflies. It was too simple to get wrong: if the butterflies made more super villains, she'd be there to help on the fight, but if it made super heroes that meant she'd be able to single-handedly revolutionize hero society! It was a win-win situation, there was no way that could go wrong!

It went wrong.

Her lack of experience made Daniella unable to stop the swarm of butterflies that poured from her mirror, making hundreds of dark insects flood the air before they all focused on one man. She was only able to stop the swarm by de-transforming and by then there was nothing she could do but watch in utter terror as a giant abomination of a monster rose from the streets, made of indestructible stone with corruptive sludge spewing from the cracks.

It was looking for her mom.

And the twins had been held hostage.

And heroes were dying left and right.

She was the cause of the apocalypse and there was nothing Daniella could do but watch her inspirations be slaughtered.

### The Aftermath

Daniella couldn't tell what happened to anyone, even if she was in panic for almost an hour and couldn't stop crying for the rest of the day, falling into a deep and long depression. For weeks she barely got out of bed, spending her whole summer at home, unable to do anything. Her music career was left on hold and her relationship with her family weakened as she pushed aside her siblings and her now widowed father. She also ignored all social media attention, including her closest friends. When she returned to school, Daniella seemed someone else entirely, hating crowds and trying to be as alone as possible, refusing to talk to her friends about what happened.

She felt like she deserved it all. The disgust, the isolation, the hate.. she had done that to herself the moment she put on the cursed earrings. After a while, she got home exhausted every single day, like she'd have to fight to just to walk home from school and survive the classes to which she no longer managed to pay attention. It was too much for her to live with.

But she wasn't allowed to give up.

The angel had forced a mission of re-creation upon Daniella, to retrieve the other three Lusitious and fix the world she had destroyed, to give everyone a happier ending, to get rid of the misery she imposed upon millions. Every time she even considered giving into despair and quitting, the Angel would force her to keep going. It was almost like a battle for a few months, with her trying to escape its grasp only for gusts of wind to forbid her.

She only accepted her fate when she learned who her mother really was. If her mother had given her life to put an end to Daniella's mistake, it was only her duty to do everything she could to reverse such a terrible fate.
