Visual inspiration: Mio Imada

.

"Wielder of the Blade of Strength, Ankyloserker Knight!"

.

The youngest of the core five knights and the only girl in the team, with her possessing unbelievable combat strength that the guys, especially Callum, would point out. But her strength was something that came about because of an incident when she was young that made her two martial artist brothers decided for her to train. The kidnapping and almost bullying instances that she experienced made her quite protective of her family and her teammates. Despite not having an interest of becoming a Ruarden Knight at first even after arriving in Wesharia, it changed upon encountering several members of the Drurginar Clan attacking everything and everyone inside the Fortress and the capital of Wesharia.

Weston Monteloyola Character Introduction

Age: 25

Country: Escañoz (reminiscent to Philippines)

Visual inspiration: Alden Richards

.

"Wielder of the Blade of Hope, Triceraserker Knight!"

.

The second oldest of the new chosen knights, he decided to become a part of the Ruarden Fortress trainees because of his girlfriend's encouragement who already saw his potential to become a warrior. Always calm even in a dire situation, he would always do his best to pacify his teammates' frustration and worries. He was seen to be close to Yeong-jin as soon as the team finally gathered as they turned out to be childhood friends. He was the first to discover the truth about the 'ultimate power of the grand beasts' and even about the secret of the Faerseton Stronghold's caretakers.

Callum Gardner Character Introduction

CALLUM GARDNER

Age: 27

Country: Coalsano (reminiscent to USA)

Visual inspiration: Bryan Dechart

.

"Wielder of the Blade of Courage, Tyrannoserker Knight!"

.

The oldest of the new chosen knights, he started training late to become a part of the Ruarden Fortress trainees because he prioritized his responsibility as a young father to his daughter first ever since his wife died. Appointed as the leader of the team by the knights themselves, his fatherly nature made him quite protective to his younger teammates and would be willing to take the blow for them if it comes to that. Even so, he would always make sure that the other knights won't be uncomfortable around him just because he was the oldest. That was why he developed the habit of playing pranks to his teammates just to lighten up the atmosphere when things got tensed and would always point out Hizuru's combat strength, much to her irritation.

journal entry #88

TGIF! Not really. I could thank any day of the week as long as they don't give me anything to actually curse it. Anyway, I can't believe that this is my 88th entry in my journal. I did miss out an amount of days, but that doesn't mean I don't have anything to talk about here.

For some reason, I had a feeling that after tomorrow, our lives will be a little hard to deal with. And perhaps the issue of my unemployment would be brought up again. I could never avoid it, because I know it's true. But that issue had already done its best to destroy my self-esteem, my self-confidence, and everything. I'm not as skilled as my sisters. I'm not madiskarte like them. I'm not witty like them. I just... couldn't redeem myself again after those two failures I had ln my previous jobs. Motivation... I guess I also used it — a long time ago. I don't know and for what reason, but I knew I already lost it. And now... I couldn't find any means of getting it back.

And now that I'm recalling my failures, I think it started to fall apart for me when I failed my NC-II when I was in college. I think that failure was the start of it. That failure really hit me hard, even though I didn't cry when it happened. After that, I guess I started thinking that in spite of my efforts to do everything I can, to do my best, I would eventually fail and it would crush me again.

I've failed everyone with me just being here inside the house and not actually doing anything to find a job. But it seems like nothing is penetrating in my mind for me to actually do something about it so that it would stop. I'm just numb from all of their words that, even though I hear, would never get through for me to actually process. I don't know what to do with that anymore.

Maybe I should stop right here now. This entry is starting to let me think of things that shouldn't even appear in my mind. I will get through this, right? Tell me that I will.

Good night. 😊❤️ おやすみなさい。。。

journal entry #87

...and so the issue of me being unemployed was brought up once again. I don't know what brought that up, but something had definitely acted as a trigger for that to happen. I know it's a really worrying issue on their part since I would be at the losing end if I don't do something about it.

But the most worrying part of it was my... nonchalant reaction to it. It's like... I don't have any plans at all. So now what? I'll just die like this if I don't do something to support myself? I can't rely on my father at all when it comes to that. He'll just lecture me nonstop and I don't want to add anymore resentment towards him than what is already existing in my heart. It's hard to bear that already and it's too much for me.

journal entry #86

I'd better write something in my journal but I'd actually forget again. And since I'm not yet sleepy, I might as well take that as my chance. You do know that my usual reasons for not writing an entry in my journal is either because I'm tired, it's cold for my hand to actually work on the writing, I'm sleepy or I just don't feel like writing anything at all. The last one sounds like a lazy person's reasonings, huh?

So am I supposed to list the events here or what? Even though there wasn't so much to tell. Anyway, I think I could input 2-3 things.

• I was able to go to town. As usual, to do an errand for my mother. And yes, I had to do it to satisfy her cravings.
• Currently writing the 4th chapter of Francis' story. I do know I won't be able to finish it tonight but I hope I'd be able to by tomorrow. Two more scenes left before it happens.
• Just watched the 29th episode of Ryusoulger and it wasn't too much of a surprise for me to actually see Nada inside Gaisourg's armor. I do have a lot of questions about that, but I guess I'll just wait for the next episode to air.
  
  
  
• Oh, yeah. I got another wound on my finger. Seriously, what is with the knife in our house injuring me without me realizing it?

So that's how my day went. Not so much, but I'd still consider this a good day for me. Anyway, it's time for me to end this entry here and say good night. おやすみなさい。。。

journal entry #85

So no entry written here yesterday, huh? Well, not that it was another boring day that I didn't even have anything to write. But drowsiness really beat me to it and so I slept before I could write an entry here.

Let's list down what happened today, shall we?

• Today was the regular weekly meet-up with my father, though only my second sister and I were the ones who went. My first sister was at work and my youngest sister wasn't feeling well.
• I'm still trying to finish typing down the 43rd chapter of a Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic that I wrote about... I think half a decade ago? I'll still have to check on the date I first posted it on FFN.
• Went to town the second time to head to the market. And I think that was the reason why my head is aching as I write here. The weather already started acting up as I was walking to head to town.
• Still trying to keep up with the postings for the two writing-related IG challenges I participated into. In any case, so far so good. And I only focused on discussing one story on both challenges. Well, I think it was just about time I started doing something more for that pending story.

Not so much of an event for the day, huh? In fact, I think there wasn't even anything new. Anyway, it's Sunday night and I'm still up because of a task. My weekly task that usually keeps me up until 1 to 2 in the morning.

With that, I guess my entry for today ends here. Good night. 😊❤️ おやすみなさい。。。

journal entry #84

It's my first day of my monthly "red days" and it hurts. Seriously. Anyway, it's not that cold so I guess I could still handle it. Usually, during the cold season, red days are really such a pain to me — literally. By the way, the wounds that I sustained from cleaning the pipe where the sink was connected to were starting to heal. And that means, no more bandages. Or band-aids, to be specific.

What happened today?

• Finally finished Lang Leav's "Love And Misadventures". So that means, I can finally write a book comment about it. It could be a lame comment, but I made it a part of my writing practice to write a comment about the books I finished reading.
• I had my hair get colored to dark brown. Yes, I know. For some, it's a lame color. But it's actually just an extra from my mom's, since she was the one who wanted to color her hair with that. A way to hide white hairs. 😝
• Rewatched "Busted!", though I only picked the episodes that I liked. I can't wait to watch its second season that will be shown on November 8. That means, I'll have to endure a month more worth of waiting.

Pretty much the same stuff from yesterday, huh? I know, the weird perks of having a boring life... or not. Anyway, it's time to say good night, now that I'm ending this entry here. I do hope my red days'  pain (dysmenorrhea) won't make it hard for me to sleep peacefully.

おやすみなさい。。。

journal entry #83

I guess I'm making it a real habit of not writing regularly here, huh? Or maybe that's just proves how boring my life is. Even if I've been busy posting things on social media, that doesn't mean too much, really.

Okay. So shall we list those events here again?

• I went to the grocery and the market twice today regardless of the falling rain since my mom and my sister decided to make crab roll salad and pizza, respectively. So, yeah. That has been our dinner tonight.
• Reading "Love And Misadventures" only for the reason that I really want to finish it so I could write my thoughts about it, post that thought on my blog and proceed to read the next pending reads. I truly think that because I haven't been reading properly for a long while, I couldn't proceed to finishing my pending WIPs.
• Posted a post for the second day of character Promptober so I could proceed to thinking of something to post for the third and fourth day. I need to catch up, you know.

There you have it. That's how my boring day went. But I guess it's still not bad, huh? Anyway, it's time for me to say good night. But you do know that I won't be sleeping any time soon, right? 😊❤️

おやすみなさい。。。

journal entry #82

I was trying to write in my journal as legible as my hand could handle because until now, my fingers have band-aids on them. And one particular band-aid was wrapped in between the joint. So it's really hard to write properly with that. And that is why I wasn't able to write anything in my journal yesterday.

It's the first day of October and it couldn't get any more boring — at least for me. Or maybe I just didn't spend my time as efficient as I could. It could be because of my mindset. I've been debating the whole day whether or not I should continue reading my pending reads or continue writing my pending WIPs. But nothing came up in the end.

As for this month, I decided to participate to only two IG writing-related challenges since I have an idea that it's going to be hard for me to keep up. I'm still trying to think which story should I showcase in those two challenges. Should I go with just one story for both or one story for each challenge? I'll still think about it. I only have until tomorrow, though.

I was able to post another Sentai couple one-shot, after a long while. This one was a crossover and I'll try to write another when I could.

So there you go. That's how my day went. I guess it wasn't boring as I thought it was.

Anyway, it's time to say good night. 😊❤️

おやすみなさい。。。
