Prompt (500 max) -
Varys has always had a slight obsession with learning things, voraciously tearing through any kind of books she can get her paws on. Throughout her childhood, they were called the walking encyclopedia by their friends. However, there were the rare occasions when bullies decided to use the nickname as an insult but the viscling just shrugged it off owning it as a part of them self. Accepting whatever nicknames were thrown in their face had become second nature to them, but as they got older there was something that they were too afraid to accept.
Varys had started to question their gender identity just as they became an adult worried, even though it was what she wanted, that it would impact how everyone around her saw her. Coming out to her friends and family went bad enough to make her resent herself, though she never really talks about exactly what happened, and refuse to even think about being anything other than male.
After a few depressive episodes, she met another Viscet who, although their own journey of identity went a lot differently, helped her accept the idea of being a girl again for her own happiness. It became yet another thing that even though cruel people would throw it in her face she took in stride because it was genuinely who she was.
Personally, Feeling the kind of alienation that can come from questioning one’s gender or orientation Varys studied gender, sexuality, and psychology so she could become a counselor for young-adult visclings. Her ambition was to do what that other viscet had done for her with others, help viscets who have lost themselves find who they are again and to own it because nothing was wrong with who they decided to be. That was something only and the individual could decide and Varys is determined to make people see that.

So sorry for the wait, Chemistry smacked me up-side the head this week, haha

But, congratulations Mint Chip! I really enjoyed the format of your story and how you introduced his character, his bond with Hanzo, and his aspirations in the prompt. I am excited to see where Jiro will go!

Prompt (500 max) - Aspiration

"Focus, boy!" The older viscet snapped, snapping the young viscling's attention back to the target ahead.

"Aye, master!" The viscling replied, trying to focus his attention on his mark. He inhaled as he drew back his bow, his focus seeming unbreakable until he released the arrow.

The arrow launched for the target, swaying a little as it did, only barely managing to hit one of the outer rings. The viscling's attention was elsewhere though, not even focusing on the missed mark but rather focusing on his fascination with the butterflies that floated just above his head. The way their wings fluttered and danced before his young eyes had drawn his attention away so easily, much to the dismay of his teacher.

"Renjiro!" The viscet snapped again, turning the viscling's focus back to him. "You missed, _again_. Why can't you focus, boy? Can't you understand this is important."

Renjiro lowered his small ears, lowering his gaze in a bit of shame, "I'm sorry, master, I just..."

"You just got distracted, _again_!" The older viscet sighed heavily, sitting down as he ran his paws through his mane. "Knowing this skill could be the difference between life or death, do you understand?"

"...death?" Renjiro raised his gaze a moment before looking to the bow in his hand, "I... but Hanzo, er, Master, it doesn't have to be that way does it?"

Hanzo sat there quietly, he raised his gaze to look out some distance. Renjiro tried to follow it but it seemed as though wherever his teacher was staring off to was far too far for him to see. The viscet heaved another sigh before turning his deep and troubled gaze to the viscling.

"Sometimes... there is not a choice."

The solemn sound of his master's voice made Renjiro realize that there was much about his teacher he didn't know. The far off and clouded gaze that seemed to hold unspeakable pain. It was then that he realized that he needed to be the best pupil he could, not just for himself but for his teacher.

"Let's go again," Renjiro said, a determination in his gaze this time.

The shift in him didn't go unnoticed, Hanzo gave a nod as he stood to his paws and helped Renjiro straighten and line up his bow. Both were quiet as Renjiro took in a steady inhale, nothing could break his focus this time as he released the arrow as he exhaled. The arrow shot out fast from his bow, steady and true, it hit just off center.

"I hit it," Renjiro breathed, blinking in some surprised. He shifted in surprise as he felt his master's paw on his head, ruffling his head feathers. He looked up to meet his gaze, smiling slowly as he could see a small smile forming on Hanzo's muzzle.

"Good job, now again," Hanzo ordered.

From that day on, Renjiro determined he was always going to aspire to do his best, his only dream was to make his mentor proud.
