the curse

β€œ Thirteen members from the Sohma clan are possessed by the animals of the Chinese zodiac. The possession of these thirteen family members is considered a β€œcurse” as a result of God’s desire to create a special connection between himself and the animals. "

A member of the Sohmas also takes on the role as God and the resulting Chinese zodiac animals immediately have an emotional, deep connection to the figure chosen as god. Although it was never intended to be a curse, the greedy nature of humans turned this bond into a curse as the person chosen to be β€œgod has the ability to instill fear into the resulting zodiac, bending them at their will. Some zodiac members describe scenarios in which the moment the person taking on the role of god was brought to life, they burst into tears. This bond is so overwhelming that those possessing a zodiac animal may feel completely overtaken.

The curse is eternal, meaning that once a zodiac member dies within the family, another is born to take their place.

The story that is most-well known of the Chinese zodiac animals is that god told all the animals that there was going to be a banquet the next day. however, the rat told his friend, the cat, that the banquet wasn’t until the day after. When all the animals lined up for the banquet, the rat rode on the cow’s back (the cow who was first in line). All the animals had fun, except the cat who was still home, asleep and dreaming for the banquet that would never arrive for them.

In the true story, god lived alone in the mountains, longing for genuine interactions with the animals that he saw that lived below in the forest. Upon one adventure, the cat stumbled upon the figure of god , visiting often, with the remaining zodiac animals following in suit. They formed strong bonds and held beautiful banquets together. When the cat fell ill, all the animals were devastated so god casted a spell on a chalice of water, which would make their friendships last until the end of time, making their connection be reborn no matter how many generations passed

god made the cat drink from the chalice first before all the others followed with the spell.

When the cat briefly regained consciousness, the feline was furious and stated that β€œall good things must come to an end.” The other animals took this as a sign of betrayal of the friendship they had garnered together, allowing misfortune to take form in the next incarnations of the cat spirit.

Those who possess the spirit of the β€œcat,” have a curse more dire than the rest of the zodiac members. In the story, the cat foresaw that god 's spell would eventually turn into a burden and make them despise their manufactured bond. The original zodiac animals did not understand at the time and simply believed the cat was distrusting their bond, thus the cat is evermore cursed than the others, in every rebirth. The cat may take on a monstrous form as part of their curse, thus they are typically isolated from the rest of the clan. Some skepticize that the cat is a β€œscapegoat,” meaning that they are treated terribly in order for the other zodiacs to not feel as bad in their own situations. They may always look at the cat and say β€œat least I’m not as cursed as the cat, maybe this isn’t so bad.”

The cat has four forms: cat, human, half cat & half human, and the β€œmonstrous” form. Those who possess the cat zodiac must wear a beaded bracelet to keep from turning into their β€œtrue” form."

abilities

  • May manipulate/obtain plants qualities: aka poison buds, sharp blades (made of a thorn) at the end of vines, weave them together to create a barrier or shield, can heal with them by blooming small 'baby’s breath’ like flowers into the wounds (which disappear after), etc.

  • Often wields vines as main weapon when not wielding a sword or her daggers (with a flick, the daggers will unfold a sheath over the blade and unsheathed a similar way).

  • May cause plants to erupt into flames, burst into many more buds, take the life force from plants, causing them to shrivel when their energy is successfully taken (Serenity doesn’t know how to do this yetβ€” but previous of her kind, specifically the cat zodiac only, can).

  • Based on her emotions, sometimes flowers will decorate her hair, skin, another person/people around her or the area she’s in. (Anger, sickness, being flustered, etc).

  • If she plants a flower on someones body, clothes, etc, she can communicate with them via their thoughts.

forms

  • HUMAN (Serenity): γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€5'3", brunette hair, brown eyes, fair skin that usually has some bruises or scratches (may be seen with a few bandaids at a time) due to her craft at the shop, training or sparring. Possesses a petite, but toned build.γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€

Broad and defined frame, due to the immense pressure that was placed on him to prove himself as a warrior.γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€

  • HYBRID: γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€This form is pertains all incarnations of the Chinese zodiac animals as they all have a hybrid form as well. Serenity & Ren's hybrid form contains: cat ears, a cat tail and may sometimes include a collar (with a bell for Serenity, without a bell for Ren). On some occasions their "canines" (aka 'fangs') may be sharper than average.γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€

  • CAT: γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€Though those who possess the spirit of the cat zodiac, may transform into whatever breed or appearance of a typical, domestic house cat, the most natural form of feline they take is that of a vitiligo cat with black and white ever-changing patterns of swirls. (reference: Elli the vitiligo cat).γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€

  • "TRUE/MONSTER": γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€(Serenity's is appearance is the only one able to be described, since it is unclear what Ren's or other cat zodiac's true forms looked like). γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€The only zodiac that possesses such a horrific form is the cat, as it was cursed due to the events discussed in the folktale and true story (see: "the curse" for further explanation). γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€Upon transforming into this form, the ground will start to tremble and a cloud of dark, potent, thick smoke will spiral around the individual possessing the spirt of the cat zodiac, beginning the immensely painful process.γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€Her skin will increasingly become more pale, almost lifeless, by the second as a poem by the name of "death's poem" will begin trailing down from her forehead, to her jaw (starting with the first half on the right side of her face, and the second half on the left), before trailing down to inscribe along on the expanse of rest of her body, circling her limbs, abdomen, chest, thighs, etc.γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€Her nails will begin to grow out into sharp, long, unforgiving claws. Shortly after, her two horns that resemble the bones of a spine, will grow out, curved slightly, at their ends pointed like an arrowhead, decorated with needle-like thin, thorns. Similarly, her tail will grow out in the exact same shape, extended outward. Black feline ears will appear in the area just in front of each horn.γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€Hair will grow out wildly (somewhat like "the grudge"), but it's a pure, nearly ghostly white. A metal clasp is seen clamped around her neck, a thick chain that hangs gown from the back, broken at the end. The same type of clasp is seen on both wrists, one at her ankle with similar dragging chains (such pieces are akin to that of of medieval prisoner restraints, reflecting the literal isolation past cat zodiac's have faced).γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€In addition to the poem that has now encircled and coiled around various parts of her body, her skin is decorated with intense bruises and scrapes varying in severity. Several thorns pierce from her skin, as vines and hanakatoba flowers grow out of her very being in a much more horrid way, as if she was their sole ecosystem. Some flowers may appear full while some are withered. γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€A mask that has been passed down since the beginning of the incarnations of the cat zodiac will appear last. The mask supposed to be a "full-face" mask made of clay and other Earthen based materials, shielding most of her facial features as it is cracked at the left side of her face, only revealing what is under her left eye, everything below that and part of mouth which is distorted by a gash along the edge. The mask is somewhat withered, proving just how much ancient history and struggle was left behind. Her eyes peer through the eye sockets of the mask, coloring a deep crimson as if fire burned in her very optics, pupils resembling a demon's (slit shaped).γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€γ…€The clothes she's partially dressed in are ripped tatters of a midnight colored gown, flowing somewhat as it adds a further eerie factor to her appearance.

GENERAL INFORMATION

contains some
fruits basket spoilers !

name: : Serenity (Ren) Sohma.

birthday: October 30th, 1998.

bisexual.

multiship.

  • has the soul of the first incarnate of the cat living within her. In other words, the first person cursed with possessing the spirit of the cat zodiac dwells within her and has been able to force her into his previous form on several occasions. In this form, Serenity will turn into what this person once looked like, hundreds of years ago: a male who looks nothing like her, being able to recall past memories from that lifetime. In his current state, Serenity still controls this body and acts as herself. This spirit can only be heard in her own thoughts as of right now. (Keep in mind that this is not another character, they are the same person, at least for now. This may change in the future).

  • Attends university, majoring in "botany."

  • Works at a flower shop that specializes in arrangements and herbal medicines.

  • Uncontrollably takes the form of a cat form when she is tired, stressed, ill or hugged by the opposite sex (only if she doesn’t have her white beaded bracelet).

  • Must wear a red beaded bracelet to keep from turning into a β€œmonstrous" form.

  • Can attract cats as that is her possessed zodiac animal and can lightly communicate with them.

  • When she unexpectedly turns into any other form or returns to human form, a cloud of smoke surrounds her frame.

  • When given the memory-erasing ring from her clan, she is allowed to take memories away from those who have accidentally seen her non-human forms, in order to avoid conflict. Afterwards, she must return the clan ring.

  • Due to training with her master for essentially half of her life, she's developed a skilled set of fighting abilities in both mixed martial arts and sword fighting, in addition to a deep knowledge of plants.

  • Has the ability to manipulate plants at her will and grow different plants as she wishes. Although she's never weaponized her standard abilities, it's surely possible.

  • During nights that the full moon rises, a burning sensation causes her body to ache from the inside out. The only way to relieve the pain is to use her abilities. As a result, she often works late hours in the shop and perfects some of her creations.

  • Can teleport to a garden where the location is unknown. For miles, there is not a single human and because of that, she uses this area when she needs to calm herself or when she needs to train as no one can catch her practicing there.

background

The Sohma estate is specifically reserved for those of the clan who are associated with the Sohmas. The clan is made from numerous families and are not one singular family whatsoever. It is encouraged if not enforced that the members of the Sohma clan marry within the clan as to not expose their curse to the outside world. Typically if their zodiac forms are revealed to those outside of the clan, the person/people who have seen them, must have their memories erased.


Serenity’s mother was a member of the Sohma clan while her father was an outsider of the Sohma clan, an exchange student from a small town in France. The two met while they were in high school, constantly bickering but growing closer every year. Just after their final year of high school, her mother confessed to him and told him that he’d never be able to love her, revealing her secret to him. Despite the curse, her father welcomed her into his life and they decided to run away together, living happily for two years, getting married.

Only a month after getting married, the Sohma clan found the pair and forced the man to have his memories erased and to leave his wife’s side. Her mother was struck with sadness upon the news that her husband would no longer be a part of her life. Only weeks after losing the love of her life, she discovered that she was pregnant, bearing not only a zodiac animal, but the cursed cat. In the Sohma clan, giving birth to and raising one of the zodiac animals is one of the most traumatizing and difficult feats. Many parents reject their children or try to hide that they are in truth, raising one of these beings. The fact that her husband left before her daughter was born, drove her mother into insanity, nearly taking her own life.

The clan recognized the issue and sought to help the woman and to do so, their only option was to erase her memories of ever giving birth to her first child.


She spent her childhood years in the Sohma estate until about age 12, with a caretaker family who constantly belittled her for possessing the spirit of the cat zodiac. The young Serenity looked so out of place from them, as their features were strikingly different. It was nearly painfully obvious to not only others around her, but to herself, knowing very well that she didn’t belong. Serenity was a fiery kid, very loud, outspoken and always searching for her next adventure.

On the day of her 12th birthday, a voice inside her head spoke to her and she took on true form. Because she has never done so, the spirit of the cat took over her body so she could run away from the estate. With nowhere to turn, she began living in a nearby forest. For less than a few days, she lived underneath a willow tree with stray cats, until a woman discovered her and took her into her home. This woman became almost like a mother figure to her, her master was trained in mixed martial arts and sword fighting, but also focused heavily on finding inner peace, having done so through tending to a large garden. As she grew a passion for fighting, she also loved learning about different plants, whether they were native or not.


Having trained tirelessly with her master, she harnessed her curse into the ability to manipulate the plants around her. As time passed, she was able to grow different plants from thin air, against the ground, over her skin, and so on.


On her very last day of high school, she moved out to attend college and live closer to the city. The only way the clan agreed to have her continue her education was if she lived with another one of the zodiac animals, the person possessing the rat."
