Name: Itsuki(Yarrow) Vine

Age: 27

Book of Origin: “The Heist: Monaco”

Race: Black/Japanese-American

Sexuality: Bisexual

Religion: Agnostic

LI: Eros Huang, Rye, Sonia Alves, Fabien Ahmad

Bio: While a little naughty, Yarrow has the charm to make you believe he is innocent. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Yarrow was born to a Black mother and Japanese father as the first child. All through his childhood he felt like he was in his father’s shadow . As he was a well known thief and was able to get what he wanted. However, his father wasn’t a good person as he was selfish and strict. Unfortunately, a heist gone wrong left his father incarcerated for the rest of his life without parole.

Yarrow’s mother wanted a fresh start so his name was changed as long as his sister’s. He has to help take of the small family until his mom met Scott Vine. Yarrow also cares for his mom, wether it’s to help groceries from the store or practice spiritual exercises with her. Yarrow has a nice relationship with Scott and even considers him to be a second dad. But, some urge just made Yarrow want to please his biological father. That’s when he decided to become a thief himself!

Thieving started petty, some Snicker bars here, a couple of cheap toys there. Yarrow would barely get caught and found out he was just as good as his father. In school, he was able to convince a kid named Rye perform “heists” with him. Once Rye started to catch on, he enjoyed the thrill of it all. The two eventually became a duo of thieves. Eventually meeting Eris, Ansel, and others along the way.

As time went on, Yarrow began to suspect something when he eyed the boys in his school as well as the girls. One boy caught his attention, Myrtle Flowers, and the two dated but the relationship didn’t go well. Despite this, he felt ok with this sexuality and told his family, who were all very supportive! He doesn’t think he is the marriage type and kids are DEFINITELY OUT OF THE QUESTION!!!

Yarrow doesn’t consider himself religious and doesn’t know or care about an afterlife but would just go to a church to be there whenever his sister had a event. He wouldn’t steal from a church though. He does sometimes practice Wiccan with his mom and has a set of tarot cards for fun.

Yarrow loves his little sister, Erica, and would do anything for her! Even beat up rich boy bullies! Yarrow tries hard to make sure her and Scott don’t know what he really does behind the scenes. Of course, it’s hard with occasional, unexpected visits!

Yarrow is a free spirit who likes to live dangerously hoping to become the greatest thief of all time. After the events of Monaco, Yarrow’s phone rang, a call from a maximum security prison. He heard the words the caller said very clearly:

“I’m so proud of you!”

Also, fun fact: Yarrow wears contacts!!!

Happy Blades of Light and Shadow II Day!!!

Name: Phlox Oakwood

Age: 17

Book of Origin: “It Lives in the Woods”

Race: Black/Kenyan-American

Sexuality: Straight

Religion: Agnostic-almost Atheist

LI: Ava Cunningham

Bio: A gothic nerd who loves to research theories and the supernatural.

Phlox was born to a Kenyan mother and a Black father as the second child. He can speak most Swahili, but is more familiar with English. He tries to honor his Kenyan heritage as well as honoring regency heritage. Although, his parents and Petunia disagree with his hairstyle, saying that consistent hot combing could lead to hair damage.

Growing up, Phlox has been blunt honest and doesn’t care about feelings. He believes a ugly truth is better than beautiful lie.That being said, he had no problem “saying” no when the events of Mr.Red showed up. He was actually trying to convince Jane and Petunia not to go but after being called “chicken” he went through with it anyway. Phlox is also honest with his older sister Petunia. Even saying that he was a little creeped out when Petunia and Lucas started dating. But he got over it as he believes no one else is good enough for his sister.

Jane’s death deeply traumatized Phlox and lead down a dark path of research and questioning EVERYTHING! From finding out what causes such events to if there’s even a afterlife? Phlox is almost fully atheist because he also believes in quantum physics. So something had to make our universe? Right?

To comfort himself, he takes pleasure in dark humor! I mean really dark like even more offensive and sad than your average white guy trying to be edgy. He also plays “Dungeons and Dragons” . He plays as a elf!

When the events of Mr.Red resurfaced, Phlox basically said HELL NO! However, since Petunia wanted to face it he went just to make sure she didn’t get killed. This soon became a obsession to put Mr.Red down once and for all! With Noah’s betrayal, Phlox dropped ALL sympathy for the guy only to replace with pure rage and hatred. If Noah hadn’t take James place, he would of gave Noah two black eyes. He wouldn’t forgive Noah until ILW.

Phlox has a thing for the ladies and is known to be a flirt. He tried his luck impressing Erica Vine, a overly sweet girl with an interesting family, but she moved to Cedar Cove so that failed. He then realized he had feelings for Ava Cunningham, not just for looks but her personality, her rebellious nature, and her ability to wield a knife! They date and Phlox is still nervous about one day proposing. He thinks Ava is not the mushy gushy married type.

During ILB and ILW Phlox is a part-time community college studying to be a medical examiner. Practically, every thing he went through, a still, dead body is the least of his concerns. He takes classes online. When Noah resurfaces from being the monster, Phlox immediately flew in with a knuckle sandwich!

Phlox may be nerdy goth boy. But he realized that he is very unique and smart. He is also a hard ass and willing to fight against any evil!

(While Phlox follows the MC route, if possible, his alternate death would be Jane holding him up then repeatedly smashing him head first into the ground!)
