Dezerae Li
Picture (not so) Perfect | Illusion Studios


FALSEFLOWER AU
marescent


in·her·it·ance | /inˈherəd(ə)ns,inˈherətns/

a particular right of possession or privilege one has from birth, especially as an eldest child.

late Middle English (formerly also as enheritance ): from Anglo-Norman French enheritaunce ‘being admitted as heir’, from Old French enheriter (see inherit).

blurb
In the False Flower AU of Illusion Studios, the concept of identity and ambition is intricately woven into the fabric of society, where each individual's journey is marked by their unique "birthmark flower." These blossoms are not merely ornamental; they symbolize the aspirations that lie at the core of each person. For most, these flowers bloom vibrantly when they discover their true calling, their dreams taking root in the soil of ambition. However, for late bloomers like Pantalone, Ray, and GREED, the journey is fraught with delay and disappointment. While others flourish with vivid blooms, their flowers often manifest as plastic replicas—synthetic in texture and devoid of the life that accompanies genuine passion. These plastic flowers reflect their inner yearnings, representing not only their failures to bloom but also the complex emotional landscape that accompanies their struggle.

In this world, Pantalone’s choice to wear a daffodil is a deliberate act of deception; he crafts a narrative of success to project to those around him, particularly Callistus. The daffodil, a flower associated with unfulfilled desires, stands in stark contrast to the joyous bloom of white roses that emerges as a result of his lies. This false representation encapsulates Pantalone’s internal conflict—he yearns for validation and respect while grappling with the emptiness of his unfulfilled aspirations. Meanwhile, Ray’s foxglove is emblematic of her own struggles with identity and acceptance. Styled as a "wallflower purple hyacinth," the flower reflects her tendency to conceal her true self. The petals, which remain tightly closed, signify her fear of revealing her authentic nature, creating a barrier between her and the world. Her eventual decision to snip the foxglove after her breakup with Estelle becomes a pivotal moment, leading to the wilting of the purple hyacinth and symbolizing her loss of hope and connection.

Estelle’s ivy plays a significant role in this ecosystem, serving as a supportive figure that enables high-growing flowers to thrive. However, it is constantly challenged by GREED's morning glory, which wraps around the ivy, reflecting the oppressive nature of societal expectations and the ruthless ambition that drives individuals to climb the social ladder. This dynamic illustrates the tension between support and suffocation, as GREED’s relentless pursuit of success often comes at the expense of those who wish to flourish alongside him. Unlike Ray and Pantalone, GREED's flower remains unchanged, signifying his acceptance of his true nature—a sharp contrast to the transformations of Ray’s and Pantalone's flowers, which represent their ongoing struggles.

By the end of Illusion Studios, the evolution of the flowers becomes a profound commentary on acceptance and self-discovery. Ray’s purple hyacinth ultimately reveals its true colors as a foxglove, symbolizing her journey toward embracing her authentic self after a period of self-concealment. In contrast, Pantalone and GREED remain trapped in their respective falsehoods, their flowers refusing to morph into something genuine. The daffodils, forever linked to themes of narcissism and deception, and GREED's morning glory, which no longer needs to change, serve as reminders of the complexities of ambition, identity, and the emotional burdens borne by those who navigate the treacherous landscape of their dreams. In this world where blossoms signify the heart’s desires, the journey to authenticity is fraught with challenges, revealing the delicate interplay between aspiration and reality.

Introduction
"The illustrious manager of Illusion Studios, Dezerae Li leads a two-faced lifestyle. She serves at Director Blake's right hand by day and draws crowds by night with her magnificent voice. However, her patronage and political backing have origins shrouded in mystery." - Official description

When it comes to new money, Dezerae Li's up and coming fame set the influential tongues to wagging, saccharine melodies pouring in from unknown corners to entrance the senses. Once a prominent figure of the performance industry, Dezerae's debut in Illusion Studios is the last in the list of many prominent venues requesting the Songird's presence. The vixen stalks breezily between the humorless ledgers and adoring crowds, the opulent company of the Regrator and candle-lit evenings spent in the audience of sycophantic fans and political businessmen. Every interaction is both an opportunity and a show, and how Dezerae loves to perform.

Unfortunately, to bathe in luxury and comfort takes an insidious toll. Her voice once comparable to silver bells and innocent birds, Dezerae's long career has since led her down a path of tarnished virtues, insidious secrets, and cynical ideals, all concealed from the public.

Still, old habits die hard and there are always favors to keep. Embittered by her failing beauty, Dezerae took the Regrator on one final offer; overseeing the progress of Illusion Studios as a way of protecting her mentor's cherished investment. As she plunges headlong into the company's masquerade of illusions and glamour, she's forced to confront the full weight of her sins, as well as an unbridled desire kindling to grasp those she once held dear.


Appearance
Ray is a lucky inheritor of Asian beauty, boasting looks genes and a little bit of luck created. She moves quickly like the wind, elegance blurring with the mix of jazzy flair and grace that comes with a veteran performer. Ray comes in at an impressive 5'9" without heels, her open posture dissuading suspicion. With an ever-present smile, she radiates a warmth that captivates those around her, drawing them into her enchanting world.

Her russet hair, a playful fusion of brown and warm tones, flows in soft waves, reflecting her vibrant personality. Each strand catches the light, hinting at the original black that rusted at the roots from the sun's playful embrace. The pearl necklace she wears adds a touch of sophistication, perfectly complementing her preference for white or light blue attire. Yet, when she steps onto the stage for her concerts, she dons a sleek black outfit, embodying both mystery and allure.

Ray's style is unapologetically chic; she has an innate eye for luxury, often admiring the finer things in life even if she chooses not to indulge. Her youthful aura belies her true age, leaving those around her guessing. With an extroverted charm, she flits from one person to another, making every interaction feel like a fleeting moment of magic, while her mask—adorable and mysterious—serves as a playful reminder of the many identities she embodies in her artistic journey.


Personality
★ MBTI: ISTP-A | ★ Star Sign: Gemini | ★ Enneagram Wing: 3w2– The Enchanter | Alignment: True Neutral | ref, ref, ref
Inherently sociable, Dezerae has learned to turn her winsome disposition into a mask. Her machavellian psyche evolves out of a need to compete for every ounce of attention given. Her skills with conversation and social etiquette have only increased with age, a silver tongue melting walls and warming the senses. She enjoys the art of threading through silken words and polite niceties to reveal intentions and motivations and is patient enough to wait for the right opportunity to strike before pitching in.

Well-versed in the dance of smoke and mirrors, Dezerae is guarded. She keeps her own counsel when it comes to private affairs. For someone as suave as her, airy deflections and harmless lies come easily, a beatific smile or a harmless shrug inserted in conversations when the topics swing too close to home. In the practice of retaining her facade, her artful demeanor helps her remain somewhat detached from her actions — monitoring a situation objectively and neutrally for the best outcome. Unfortunately, over the years, Dezerae has become so well-versed in deception that she cannot even be honest with herself. Her artifice and silver tongue are not infallible and when she senses that others are prying too close to the truth, she'll shut down or abruptly redirect the conversation.

She believes that to approach a situation rashly and without deliberation is to set yourself up for failure. Everything is a practiced act, from her outfit to the down-to-earth manner in which Dezerae conducts her analyses, inferences, and deductions. Saccharine smiles are all but absent from Dezerae's vocabulary when she gets into the heart of the matter, relying instead on insight and intuition. Politicians and colleagues alike occasionally consider her honesty snide and disrespectful, but she does not dwell on such matters. Whatever she has decided on, she'll carry out to the end and her determination waits on no one. Similarly, Dezerae is rather grounded in her faith and refuses to trust her fate in a superstitious manner. She believes not in the blessing of a bloodline or heritage, but rather in the glory and riches crafted from her own hands. Disillusioned from a youth where the affection she was granted was mostly withheld, she trusts in a world where she crafts her own fate. This discontented manner of thinking drives her mind to consciously seek out that which she desires without waiting for others to beckon her.

Dezerae is decidedly her own judge and jury, and will never take the assumptions and beliefs of others for granted unless it benefits her. A listener rather than a talker in conversation, she spends most of her time listening and digesting the words of others before pitching in with insights of her own, seeking to cut incisively and deeply with each word she speaks. And when the tides of favor swing against her, Dezerae prefers to withdraw rather than bluster on with vainglorious heroics; a calculating mind already brewing with cunning comebacks and icy jabs.

Basic Fear(s): Of becoming someone truly unworthy of recognition or love due to failing to meet expectations
Basic Desire: To find a 'family' that will accept her for who she is. No matter the means
Key Motivation: Pantalone's approval and Estella's love; in short convincing her 'dad' this was a good idea.


Early Life: tw for child emotional neglect: - timeline
Among the high elite of Shanghai stands Dezerae's family, an esteemed line of aristocrats and businessmen who enjoyed the trappings of their polished reputation. Under the gilded veneer, however, the family's internal functions left much to be lacking. Tall their house stands, but four walls do not make a sanctuary where love is lacking. Dysfunctional at its core, members of the Li family grew up believing that they were no greater than the roles they were to play, whether they were to uphold the family name when the mantle passed to them, or to marry well among other blue-blooded houses. Without true warmth or trust between kin, the Li family became a breeding ground for deception and secrets to run rampent as each generation grew farther and farther apart.

Once overshadowed by the brilliance of her older brothers, Ray, known to many as "The Ghost," navigated the shadows of a sad, ignored existence. While she snuck in lessons with her brothers, honing her skills in various musical instruments—guitar, piano, and clarinet—she often found herself grappling with a deep-seated anger and sadness. Why was she always the unwanted one, for Celestia's sake? What had she done to deserve this? Despite her turmoil, her hidden talent for singing emerged, and she proudly self-taught herself to perform, hoping to carve out a space for herself in a world that seemed indifferent.

At the age of twelve, her path crossed with Pantalone's when she received a business card from him. Although their meeting was brief, he quickly realized her family's business ties, yet he soon discovered that she had no interest in that world. Intrigued by her ambition, Pantalone learned about her aspirations to profit from her singing talent, and he found himself hooked by her determination. Their relationship deepened as she began running errands for him, with bribery from her family aiding their transactions. School became a fleeting dream, as the Fatui swiftly pulled her away, signing her off from the traditional path that others followed.

By fifteen, she had moved out, fully embracing life with the Fatui. However, this new chapter came with its own set of challenges. Pantalone, while charismatic, was not forgiving when crossed, and the moral trauma of her actions weighed heavily on her. On foreign missions, she tested her loyalty, often bending under Pantalone's gaslighting. Despite the tumult, she found herself utilizing her family's resources, sneaking back into their estate at night to copy sensitive information. To her surprise, Pantalone began paying attention to her in ways she hadn’t anticipated, fulfilling the role of a mentor and protector—a sugar daddy of sorts. With her burgeoning charisma and newfound fame, she earned a reputation as a skilled foreign retainer and liaison.

As she matured, Ray was crowned Harbinger #10 at just nineteen years old, embracing her new identity as Brighella. Her responsibilities grew, and she took command of the Ministry of Inter-Regional Affairs, opening a new department focused on regional integration, where she aimed to foster cooperation among neighboring nations. Pantalone, ever the pragmatic partner, kept her official certificate tucked away in his office—a symbol of her achievements and the first steps in her corporate journey. Yet, beneath her accomplishments, the longing for her girlfriend remained a constant ache, urging her to balance ambition with love in a world that often seemed at odds with her desires.


About: (GUILE)
detachment... unstable self-image... melancholy... emotional neglect... obssessive thoughts
Dezerae lies as easily as she sings, weaving narratives that combine lie with truth. The story often changes and one can easily find themselves lost within her web of lies should they ignore the consistencies that are ever present within. Detaching from one's self allows Dezerae to escape remorseful feelings and sleep at night as she's usually convinced the person she lies to were either too naïve or too defiant to warrant sympathy. Dezerae is a remorseful and humane person at heart, having to suppress her tender tendencies for the sake of efficiency.

Long ago, Dezerae was haunted by these questions. In her deft manipulation of fate, she finds herself both master and prisoner, the very strings she once used to sever herself from divine fate now anchoring her to her fate. Through the Tsaritsa's benevolence, the chains of choice and fate are one and the same. Not witholding the collective reprisals she would face from her the other Harbingers, her political chains are nothing compared to those ingrained in her very being. Rather than rebel against the chains imposed by the Fatui, Dezerae has all but accepted it; the destruction of her past self ensuring that the Tsaritsa controls what remains. An identity sealed in ice. Once an isolated child forced to beg like a street dog for recognition, Dezerae has finally received a family who will never abandon her again: a self-imposed prison where control masquerades as benevolence and defiance against divine law draws the chains ever tighter.


Additional Info
★ The manager of Illusion Studios eight models, Dezerae works closely with both the top echelon of Illusion Studios' employed and the models themselves to punch out a schedule, one week at a time. Though she's fond of public appearances and social gatherings, Dezerae keeps a low profile in public and avoids garnering attention and press. Much of her tasks involve basic supervision, timekeeping, and the occasional shoulder to cry on. If anyone asks why the Songbird is suddenly so prone to introversion, she merely shrugs and replies that the models are adults and should be responsible for their own devices. Those who are able to read through the lines will find her hidden in the shadows whenever possible, glad to catch a brief break from the invasive pressure of cameras, reporters, and over-enthusiastic fans.

★ Formerly a prolific singer proud of her voice, Dezerae's singing days are long over and bringing it up makes her sigh in chagrin. She even becomes extremely self-conscious when her songs are on Estella's car, even if she is secretly flattered her paramour cherishes her voice so. To most, Dezerae's unusual quirk is chalked up to modesty and the earnest self-deprecation of an artist. Only those who look closer will see the signs of burnout as Dezerae attempts to erase the career she now sees as a glorified fairytale.

Lysander is a highly intelligent, introverted character who prefers to keep to himself, often locked in private reflection. His methodical, logic-driven approach to problem-solving isn't for everyone, but he's quick to spot patterns and is skilled at out-of-the-box thinking. With dry wit and sharp humor that can turn dark in tough situations, he's often misinterpreted as insensitive, though he takes matters seriously.

Slow to trust and wary of betrayal, Lysander is guarded, often seen as either reserved or paranoid. He values action over words, staying observant and offering quiet, well-considered advice. Despite his distant demeanor, once his trust is earned, he deeply honors his friendships, though he rarely expresses warmth.

Beneath his calm exterior, Lysander battles paranoia and misanthropy, always investigating and anticipating worst-case scenarios. Though skilled in surface-level conversation, he won't shy from delivering blunt, hard truths. Betrayal turns him ruthless, becoming an enemy for life, and his vengeance is cold and calculated. Afterward, guilt haunts him as he mourns what could have been, caught in a cycle of regret and melancholy.

Basic Fear(s): To be controlled or be forced to use his combative gifts for someone else's gain when he gains nothing in return.
Basic Desire: To keep what's left of his family alive and well
Key Motivation: To find peace with his past

Hanahaki Disease AU


Insert I: Salix Babylonica

"The grounds of the place were dominated by several large, old willow trees that towered over the surrounding stone wall and swayed soundlessly in the wind like lost souls." - Haruki Murakami

TW: fictional depictions of chronic illness

Dezerae's initial childhood coping mechanisms with Hanahaki Disease; symptoms start around 5-6 years old.
She's actually undiagnosed for a disease that while mild, causes her inconvenience and distress in private.

Hanahaki, like most chronic illnesses, invades every part of her life: Ray can't engage in recreation with her peers, confined to her room during repeated attacks, and her room is constantly pervaded by the ominous scent of flowers. To alleviate her stress, and perhaps because she's morbidly intruiged by the nature of her condition, she finds comfort in fairytales.

Critical Notes

- Hanahaki Disease : also called being "lovelorn"; a diagnosis in which the afflicted suffers from abnormal growths of flowers in the airways, resulting in respiratory distress, internal bleeding, and eventual death if allowed to progress to severe stages.
- Flower petals may offer insight into the patient's psychological and emotional state, however there is no current data to suggest any clear correlation at this time.
- Able to be managed by medication, however without a cure and if allowed to exacerbate without treatment, symptoms may rapidly worsen.
- Stages may also be denoted by symptoms of emotional distress, the absence of certain individuals causing symptoms akin to withdrawal.
- Symptoms worsen when subject ██████ witnesses the individual socializing or displaying affectionate behaviors with others.
- Surgery possible to remove flowers possible alongside chemical treatment. ██████ is unwilling.




Tentative Plot Ideas/Prompts


Insert I: salix babylonica, weeping willow
[...] initial diagnosis and coping mechanisms, loveless childhood result in early manifestation of the disease. recieves (and loathes) the initial pills designed to prevent excessive growth of the illness.

Insert I: rosa alba, white rose
[...] the illness abates when meeting pantalone (manipulation keeps the doctor away), dottore (with his unorthodox and sometimes painful treatments), and estella (true love at a cost). ray does not speak of her hanahaki disease outside of the fatui as it could impact her image. illusion studios meeting where anne and dakota work together causes ray's symptoms to come back.

Insert III: hyacinthus orientalis, purple hyacinth
[...] shows how the treatment's side effects take it's toll on ray's health and prevent her from being fully there for the models. on the outside it looks like she doesn't have time for them, and she remedies this by finding more unconventional ways to show her love. with the revelation that the cure to hanahaki is love, ray tries to delude herself into thinking anne loves her (or that she's being greedy). illusion studios act iii takes place. symptoms persist with ray hiding the bloody petals.

Insert III: dianthus caryophyllus, pink carnation
[...] "I love you Anne. But you cannot keep relying on me to help you, you know? I can't be there for you forever." ray is bogged down by her treatment resulting in a less than enthusiastic mother's day. she tries her best to reciprocate anne's gestures but ultimately loses her patience when a photoshoot goes wrong. illusion studios act iv-v. events gossip turns anne against her with lies - estella and ray break up - and ray is forced to resign. symptoms worsen on the drive home. resentment, anger and grief against her daughter for siding with dakota; ray acknowledges she hasn't been there for anne the best way.

Insert IV: acanthus ebracteatus, acanthus
[...] surgery comes up, a likely cure in the case that the treatments are not able to keep them in bay. ray refuses, convinced that if she stays away from illusion studios, she'll likely forget about anne in time. show how ray is unable to leave the woman she once regarded as her daughter. pride and artifice mix. symptoms get worse. worried pantalone for once who tries to keep her in the fatui permanently.

Insert V: paeonia lactiflora, white peony
[...] either ray dies in the hospital or her daughter confesses to being difficult. ray has to understand how her undrestanding of love is inherently flawed - and maybe she's okay with letting anne go. she arranges surgery to take the flowers out; will anne feel better if she forgives her?

⚝ Prologue:
"No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell."
___- Carl Jung


⚝ Introduction
____ In the shadows of virtue, the places where the sun doesn't reach, words that are never uttered except out of private rooms, sin flourishes. The prevalence of mortal delinquency leaving rotten wounds to fester where need is abundant, whether mortals are inherently vulnerable to their base desires or if the concept of sin is an artificial construct. The Fatui as an organization becomes the city's answer. Over time, the Fatui grew fattened on the desperation, vices, and personal desires of the city.
The Fatui are spread out over the city, some more overtly than others.
