For the most part, Tatsuki is a quiet and well-mannered person, incredibly mindful of another's personal space and need for privacy as much as he is for his own. The way he speaks and acts is incredibly polite, and he's respectful to anyone and everyone unless they have given him a reason not to be. Tatsuki tends to prefer to have his presence merely in the background, finding it to be unpleasant if he is ever in the centre of attention.
 * -|tatsuki=

When around his close friends, Tatsuki is a little more relaxed, tends to show a bit of his dry humor and is a lot more affectionate. He has the habit of patting the head of his shorter friends, especially those who he finds cute. Though he still isn't one to initiate skinship, he is more open to it when it comes to his close friends. There are times, however rare they are, that Tatsuki is the first to initiate skinship, which means that person must be very special.

Tastuki is adept at picking up even the smallest minutiae of human behaviour, something he has developed over years of trying his best to not tick off his older brother, who particularly hates his very existence. More often than not, he has found himself silently admiring little quirks of people he meets and even adopting some of said quirks. Tatsuki finds it horribly embarrassing and often tries to clamp it down.

Because of his wallflower persona, it's quite surprising to know that Tatsuki is an excellent Quidditch player, having played the sport since he was 11 and his passion had been doing nothing but grow throughout the years. Though an all rounder, Tatsuki seems to prefer the Beater position over everything else. He's fierce and determined in the field with a laser-sharp focus and a sense of teamwork. Tatsuki is more a follower than a leader and thus has never considered taking the position of team captain.

When around his own family, especially his elder brother Heisuke, Tatsuki is more timid and soft-spoken, always keeping his head low and becoming even more of a shrinking violet than he already is. This is because he feels responsible and guilty for their mother's death and Heisuke never seems to make him forget that fact. Thus, Heisuke's treatment has sown the seeds of self-doubt and self-hatred deep in Tatsuki's heart and has been wrapping its thorny vines around Tatsuki's entire being ever since.

Growing up under two different roofs with a plethora of influences from different situations and people, Lucien is literally shaped by both maternal and paternal families.
 * -|lucien=

From his mother's side of the family came his love for cooking and baking, his knowledge of the internet and his silver tongue.

Aside from being a famous dancesport competitor, his mother is also a gifted cook and patissiere who lets her two sons help her out more often than not, teaching them techniques and making them develop a fondness for her craft. Lucien had taken to it more than he himself expected and it has become somewhat a therapeutic activity for him, instinctively seeking out the kitchen whenever he feels distressed. Consequently, his skill in the culinary arts is quite admirable for someone his age, being able to handle difficult recipes and execute difficult techniqued with relative ease. If he wasn't so invested in his parents' profession, Lucien would've surely chosen to flourish in this field.

Under the influence of his brother, Lucien came to know the intricacies of Muggle technology, a thing he finds ironic as his mother happened to be Pureblood with mixed Korean and French ancestry and her family has been known to be a prideful one as well, traditionally looking down upon non-Purebloods. Despite that, she seems to have nothing against letting her sons get acquainted with things such as the Internet.

His father's side nurtured his sassy and sharp-tongued nature, his fondness for travelling, and his obsession with the Shadowhunters book series.

Though Lucien is a generally amicable and polite in nature, he does posses a savage streak miles long, thanks to the influence of his elder sisters, that is only seen when he's around people he's extremely comfortable with in the form of quick-witted quips or if he's genuinely angry in the form of scathing retorts. Paired up with his smooth way with words, his silver tongue he inherited from his mother, and his natural charisma, this makes Lucien capable of swaying people easily with just his words.

Lucien has a special love for the outdoors, specifically travelling. While the weeks spent with his mother are mostly filled with kitchen shenanigans, his weeks with his father is spent travelling around, whether it's from city to city or province to province or just simply a trip to the beach. Once they even managed to go on a road trip that had encompassed almost half of South Korea, one of Lucien's fondest memories with his paternal family. His favourite trips, however, are the ones where he accompanies them to competitions, local or international.

Meanwhile, both families contributed equally to his lowkey/highkey competitive nature and his talent in dance, especially in the field of dancesport.

Lucien's competitive, having a drive to get to the top and succeed, to surpass not only his elder siblings but also his parents, and generally all the people around him. Though he mostly does it because it's fun, Lucien also does it for the feeling of success, the feeling of the metaphorical breeze he could feel when he's at the very top. So he pushes through life, facing an endless uphill climb just to prove to everyone else that he can. He's a firm believer of hard work, of the saying try and try until you succeed.

Megumi Amanogawa was told to give up her unborn third child, her darling Tatsuki, if she wanted to live a longer life. With a gentle hand on her 5 month pregnant belly, she quietly refused.
 * -|tatsuki=

"I'd rather die bringing my moon into the world than live knowing I killed my baby."

About 2 months later, at the break of dawn, Tatsuki breathed his first and Megumi breathed her last. One a weak wheeze, the other a loving whisper.

Ryuji took one look at his frail, premature son and he promised himself, through his grief and pain, through the impending responsibility of raising all their three children by himself, that Megumi's sacrifice would not be in vain. That he'd make sure their baby grew up knowing just how much he was loved. He owe Megumi that much.

It was hard, life without Megumi and her calming, loving presence. Kieran, Megumi's familiar, disappeared into the night sky, unable to accept that she's gone. Heisuke, young as he may be, took the loss of his mother really, really badly, retreating so deeply into his own shell, Ryuji was afraid he'd lose him as well. Kobato was barely one year old and the sudden absence of her mother puzzled her, unable to grasp the situation properly.

The first time he brought home Tatsuki, Heisuke took one look at the small bundle, remembered his father's explanation as to why his mother isn't coming back, and immediately declared his hatred for his newborn brother. It was clear that Heisuke blamed Tatsuki for taking away Megumi, and that belief persevered until his adult years.

Tatsuki breathed his first and Megumi breathed her last at the break of dawn. A life for a life, a mother for a premature child.

He wasn't only deprived of a mother, he was deprived of a happy, whole family. He only got one that was being tied together by a thin string, a promise to his mother for them, for him, to live.

He was deprived of his father's laughter and playfulness. Instead he got his father's tired eyes and exhaustion from trying to be strong despite the weight of everything.

He was deprived of a brilliant older brother with a love for the ocean. Instead he got an older brother with cold eyes and an even colder heart, who never failed to remind the youngest whose fault was it that their family was so, so broken.

He was deprived of a cheerful but mischievous older sister. Instead he got an older sister who hoards all mementos of Megumi's and cries herself to sleep every night, afraid that she'd completely forget a mother she barely remembers.

 Prologue 
 * -|blake=

Before Wu Shaoxiang, there was Wu Zedong and Liang Ruolan. Two halves of the same coin, they were both from rich, affluent families, albeit for very different reasons. The Wus were one of Magical China's oldest and purest Pureblood families, their blood tainted pitch black and only the Heavens know how deep their influence runs when it comes to the darker parts of China's underground. The Liangs were equally as pure and old, but they were more inclined to preserving the animal kingdom of Magical and Muggle China and have been known to give a helping hand to endangered species, helping them bloom once again.

Zedong and Ruolan were always vaguely aware of each other's existence, both attending the Mahoutokoro Institute of Spirits and Magic and both being Tengu-level students, albeit in different Houses (Kitsunebi for Ruolan, Kukan for Zedong). They were also aware of each other's family's reputations, but it never seemed to be a problem whenever they interacted although they never went past the acquaintances stage
