failure: What’s your OC’s greatest failure? Have they been able to move past it? Does anyone else know about it?
Answering for another Slayers OC actually.
Dame Loretta , a knight sworn into service of a young man who held one of the shards of Shabrinigdo. She grew up in the service of his family basically right alongside the young man, as both his future protector and his childhood friend. It was her duty to protect him when he finally set out on a mission to hone his innate magical skills with a small party of adventurers.
Loretta failed when a moment’s hesitation against Sherra , the General of Dynast Grausherra, lead to her being impaled upon the woman’s sentient sword.
Her hesitation came at the worst moment, borne of of a single second of doubt when Sherra claimed that ‘the greatest way she could help her young master was by letting him reach his full potential’.
Loretta was converted by Sherra into one of her mazoku underlings, and instilled with an intense feeling of loyalty and subservience towards the General.
Nobody else knows but her and Sherra, only that she ‘died’ during the fight and was lost. They don’t know how, or why. Just that she was ‘gone’.
Loretta, unable to move past it due to her new existence, has twisted it into a perverse sense of continued loyalty, helping her mistress in her attempts to awaken the shard within her young master ‘to help him reach his full potential’, just as Sherra had promised.
