The world saw BB as a wide-eyed wallflower. All quiet courtesy and downcast eyes. Her foster parents, stiff-backed humans with lips that pursed at the mere mention of her kind, would have nodded approvingly at her restraint. Polite. Reserved. A model of decorum. However, beneath that porcelain exterior, a storm churned. Despite their efforts, BB was still a demon. Her fiery blood a pulsing truth she guarded as fiercely as the drumsticks and Slayer albums she hid beneath the loose floorboard in her bedroom.
Metal was her rebellion, her sanctuary. The shrieking guitars and thunderous drums spoke to the chaos she buried deep, the part of her that ached to be free. Drumming was her release, a sacred violence where she could unleash the fire in her veins without shattering the fragile truce of her human home. She’d slip away to a rented room with a borrowed drum kit, a battered altar where she poured out her rage, her joy, her everything. Each beat was a defiance of the fear she sensed in her foster parents’ sidelong glances, the unspoken dread that her demon nature might one day erupt. They never said it aloud, but she felt it. Their fear was a cold, prickling weight she had simply accepted as "life".
BB had learned to swallow her anger, to dull her edges, to be the good girl who knew her place. Then death came knocking. A violent specter that grazed her soul in a moment she’d never speak of, not even to herself. It wasn’t the screams that changed her, not even the blood. It was the clarity, sharp as a blade: she could not die having lived so small, so grey, so caged. Fear had always been her leash, but now a greater terror, the thought of a life unlived, gnawed at her heart. She saw it, stark and undeniable: the fault in sacrificing her own joy to cradle the contentment of those around her.
Her audition for Hell-Hole was on a whim, a spark that caught before she could snuff it out. She’d seen the flyer tacked all over town, its jagged font screaming for a drummer to join the underground metal band. Her heart jumped, half with longing, half with dread. She wasn’t ready. Not for the stage, not for the scrutiny, not for the risk of her parents discovering her secret. But the alternative, another day of silence, of living in third person, was unbearable. So she went, her drumsticks tucked into her purse like contraband, her pulse a war drum in her chest.
She didn’t tell them. Not a word to the humans who raised her, whose fear of her demon blood mirrored her own. They believed she was diligently buried in college studies, oblivious that she’d thrown her lot in with Hell-Hole, a band destined to erupt as the most controversial metal act in decades.

thank you~ BB's upbringing was oppressive but she still had more of a loving normal life than either Mala or Bejel. Admittedly, if you don't recognize the logo on her arm then it will be way harder to figure out lol. The black & white version was only because I liked how it looked when I was just messing with color settings.

Dude, I feel so bad for her; what a terrible upbringing to have. I'm so happy she has this outlet for everything bottled up. I'm even happier they took her in. Fucking glorious. I'll be 100 tho, I'm fucking blitzed and trying to find the message in the picture lmao I love the colors so much (the pink background slaps btw), but in black and white this goes so fucking hard dude. 10/10 I legitimately believe you are one of the best artists on Earth when it comes to colors. Unreal stuff; sorry if I sound annoying with my praise but I mean every word dude. Every piece you post is a blessing for me.
