Everything would be so much easier if i didnt have the curse :(

I would love to hear some stuff about Chelsea, she’s literally my favorite boi ever and I need to know more about her gimme gimme /nf
AH CHELSEA YES I WOULD LOVE TO RANT ABOUT HER
(Horror and gore warning)
Okay so Chelsea is a coyote living in Yowkai. She was born to a Very Large Family and she is the middle child of middle children she is extremely overlooked, despite the fact she’s literally in the Yowkai Academy. She has a bit of an issue with her family, but hey at least she has a good group of friends.
She’s the seventh wheel.
Not only this, but she’s also cursed. Yaaaaaaay
Thing about curses:
In this universe, a large percentage of the overall population over the entire universe has some form of magic. Magic is genetic, and similar powers are passed down over generations. There is a variation of magic known as a curse, where aspects of the magic is turned from protection to destruction.
In Chelsea’s case, she has a curse known as Predator Syndrome.
Predator Syndrome is a curse that strengthens the host, but drives them to near insanity. It starts with random episodes where primal instincts start to overtake the host. If and when the host kills someone is when the curse is set into motion. Nothing immediate happens besides the lack of episodes. After a while (on average around 6-8 months), the host sees a figure that will watch and follow them. They star out too far away to make out any details, but with each day they grow closer until you realize that it’s an entire freaking skeleton.
They get closer until they are right behind the host. During this time while they’re drawing near, the host starts experiencing severe anxiety and starts having the primal episodes again.
In Chelsea’s case, she killed again, and that reset the skeleton. A few months later, it’s back with a friend.
Essentially what happens is there’s a long distance between the host and the skeleton. The skeleton moves closer to the host over time until the host can see the skeleton. When this happens, it triggers anxiety and predator responses. Each time the host kills, the clock is reset back to the beginning, except this time there’s another skeleton and they move slightly faster.
When the skeletons reach the host, the host dies.
With Chelsea, her heart is literally ripped out of place in her chest. In her eyes, the skeleton of her first victim bit a hole straight through her and crushed her heart in it’s jaws.
I have an animation I’m working on that focuses on her lore, but here’s her TH page that I really need to update at some point qwq
There is no other explanation. I have a curse....because why else every single time when I dare to call some story ,,my favorite", it always ends up that she disappoints me. I mean, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I loved Tokyo Ghoul - it disappointed me.
I loved Attack on Titan - the ending was beyond simple disappointment.
I loved Chainsaw man - my favorite character [ Aki ] died and now, in the second part I have no idea what the hell is happening and why?!
I loved Jinx but the way Jaekyung and his people treated Kim Dan in that spray saga, deeply disappointed me to the point where I almost dropped this series completely.
These past few months, I enjoyed a lot Alien Stage but, yet again, my favorite character died and now the plot is going in a direction I don't like.
That's why I am sure - I definitely have a curse.
