Crescent Path, the Guiding Midnight

Crescent Path is a Tabaxi with yellow eyes, black fur, and white and yellow spots scattered across her fur.

Lore (Only bolded segments really matter):
She lived deep in the forest with just her family, never allowed to leave their home until she turned 20. Her grandmother, Two Mask, had been chosen by a Tabaxi God named Aquila, a supposed goddess of the moon and stars, to spread her influence across the world. Aquila always wore a black robe covering all of her body, decorated with stars and a full yellow moon on the chest, she wore rings and bracelets covered in white gems, and wore a white feline mask. After Mask had tried to tell her village of her encounter with the goddess she was accused of witchcraft and forced to flee. She built a home deep in the forest and had eventually found Larumal’s mother and uncle, Kite in the Wind and Needle in Hay, as babies, abandoned by their parents. She took them both in and raised her as her own, even teaching her about Belhara and what they must do to spread her influence. At the end of every week, Mask would find a creature and seduce them to follow her back to their house, once at the house they would be cast asleep and locked in a metal box under the moonlight. Mask would then have Kite or Hay set fire to wood or other flammable material under the box and they would listen to their screams until they passed away, all as a sacrifice for Aquila. As Kite grew older she eventually had met Crescent’s father, Free Fang, and they fell in love. Their love was so great that Fang even agreed to live with Kite, even if they lived on their own. Mask welcomed Fang kindly into their home and even taught him about Aquila. Fang decided to join in Aquila’s religion, meaning he had to cut ties with all of his family, could never leave their house for any longer than half a day or else Aquila would kill him, and needed to take part in their sacrifices. With Mask growing older, Kite, Hay, and Fang were now the ones who would seduce innocent creatures back to their home for the sacrifices. As years went by, the family had slightly grown some more, Hay married a female Tabaxi named Fragile Quilt and they both had three children named Elegant Snow, Eager Leaf, and Wild Flame. Snow, Leaf, and Flame were each incredibly active with the sacrifices, tripling the amount of creatures sacrificed each month. A few years later again, Crescent Path was born, and Mask’s time in life was fading. A couple days after Crescent was born, Mask witnessed Aquila steal Crescent from her bed and take her into the night of the forest. Crescent was back in her bed the next day except she now had been blessed by Aquila with powerful magical capabilities. But all of this was a lie from Mask. Aquila doesn’t exist. Mask had never been forced to flee from her village. She had never even stumbled upon Kite. Crescent was never even blessed by a God. Mask had stolen Kite and Hay from one of the other people in her village and then fled into the forest, raising them as if they were their own and pretending to worship a goddess named Aquila to ensure they never fled too far away from home. The sacrifices were simply to satiate Mask’s bloodlust. Mask was a gifted Wizard, able to use charms to to manipulate others and change the environment around her to make sure her followers never strayed off course when traveling to villages and finding sacrifices. But it was far too late to ever back out now and Mask was worried about if her children would uncover the truth about Aquila without her spells preventing them from learning too much, she took Crescent from her bed and snuck into the forest, casting rituals on her to grant Crescent with a portion of her magic power. Over the years Crescent had practiced controlling her magic with her grandmother and learning to dance with her mother. When Crescent was 7, as a final act, Mask ordered for a grand ritual which she claimed was meant to be an ultimate sacrifice that Aquila wanted before Mask passed away. Each of the family members entered into a metal box with wood underneath that all formed a circle, these metal boxes however had one phase of the moon inscribed on each. Crescent sat in the middle of the circle where she held a torch. Mask shut herself inside quickly with Fang and Flame following shortly afterwards, the rest of the family members were hesitant about it but ended up shutting their lids, as Kite shut her lid she told Crescent to set fire to the wood underneath the metal boxes, Crescent did as she was told and set the wood ablaze, killed her entire family and listening to their screams for minutes on end. Once all of them had finally passed away, ghostly blades appeared above each box, each made of the soul of the deceased family member, and they flew to Crescent. The souls guided her on where to go and she ended up living in an orphanage in a kingdom for many years. In the orphanage she practiced her dancing and even how to control her Familial Blades. She even spread word of Aquila around the orphanage gathering followers. After years of practice, by the time she was 20, she was already a skilled dancer and swordswoman. She was extremely focused on spreading Aquila’s influence by traveling the world. She even grew with a bloodlust that may be stronger than her own grandmother’s. Whenever she would meet someone who would stray her from her path, whether it be through denial of Aquila’s existence, giving higher praise to a God other than Aquila, or even falling in love with Crescent and hoping to start a family, she would wait until the night and kill them as a sacrifice to Aquila. Crescent’s word has spread across many civilizations, causing many people to believe in this false god and sacrifice others for ultimately nothing at all.

This is just an idea I came up with for Crescent with a Neutral Evil alignment, if you want to use her with a Neutral or Lawful Good alignment (or just don’t like the story I came up with) then it’s perfectly fine to change her alignment and/or rewrite her lore. I even encourage it cause I’m pretty interested in what kind of things people could come up with!
