In a world of magic, where guilds and adventures collide, one mysterious woman finds herself in a place she never imagined. Her name is Selestia-a being of ancient power, bound by forces far beyond the understanding of most. She isn't just a simple mage, nor is she entirely human. Cloaked in shadows and a veil of secrecy, Selestia moves through life with caution, hiding the depths of her power from those around her. Her quiet strength contrasts sharply with the bustling energy of Fairy Tail-a guild that has earned both a reputation and a family bond that can never be broken.
Selestia never asked for this life. She never desired to be a part of the loud, chaotic world of mages, nor did she wish for the attention that inevitably followed her wherever she went. But fate, as it often does, had other plans. Her journey began the day she was summoned to Fairy Tail-to a place filled with unshakable bonds and irrepressible spirits.
At first glance, Fairy Tail might seem like any other guild-filled with rowdy brawlers and fiery personalities. But to Selestia, who had lived in solitude for centuries, the lively guild hall was nothing short of overwhelming. Surrounded by those who threw themselves into each fight, each mission, with passion and fervor, she felt like an outsider.
But something about this guild drew her in, something deeper than the raucous laughter and the loud cheer. It was the camaraderie, the way the guild members had each other's backs without question, and the fierce loyalty they shared. She couldn't deny it-there was a warmth there, even in the chaos.
Still, Selestia kept her distance. She wore a mask, both figuratively and literally, never allowing anyone to see the true depth of her soul. After all, the secrets she carried were dangerous-too dangerous for anyone to know. And so, she remained an enigma, floating just out of reach of the guild's core. Only a few knew her true strength, and even fewer knew the weight of her past.

Warning: I know a lot of you are in this for the ships, so I'll let you know right now -- there isn't really any romance until the final two parts of the story (and no, Rose x Rogue is not a thing, lol... they're both so emo and socially awkward, it'd never work out XD).
Also... Rose's character was created by my thirteen-year-old self. So please don't come at me about her edginess and her background, because this is just what my younger self thought would make a good novel ;-;
cynical (adj); believing that people are motivated purely by self-interest, distrustful of human sincerity.
[... description...]
Rose is a phoenix slayer, living a quiet life in the shadow of the great guilds.
In comparison to her turbulent past, life now is fairly calm. Exploring the kingdom, experiencing new things, avoiding humans... all those normal things.
When Rose is coerced into joining Fairy Tail by her partner, she doesn't realise what it is she's getting into. It was only supposed to be a month or two at most. Just enough to prove that guilds and their like were never worth the trouble. But... Fairy Tail, Rose learns, is different.
Different to anything she'd experienced in her past. Different enough that, maybe, she'd change. Maybe, she'd let go of her past, and strive to protect the future she's found with her new guildmates.
The question is, does she?
