Choco Ichigo

Species: Gargoyle Age: 300 Rank: Guardian

Living in a land of sugar and sweets, Choco lived an average village life. She would make baked goods and spread sugary goodness amongst the villagers. One day she stumbled upon a vendor that she had never seen before. A peddler serving an uncommon fruit in her land. Apples. Strawberries were her... whole life, but apples? Choco had heard of these succulent fruits, but could never get her hands on them. Oh what amazing treats she could make with these delectable fruits, apple pies, tarts, custards, and thus she wandered up to the apple peddler. With a cunning grin, he supplied her a basket full of apples, various colors and sizes, for only but a few silver pieces. Choco skipped happily home, excited to see what new treats she could make. In the middle of the night, when Choco works her best, she rolled out all the apples on the counter. Curious of what splendid taste they would have, she bit into the juicy fruit. It's when a laughter filled the room and a dark cloud appeared behind her. It was almost as if a void was clinging onto her body, she was restrained and captured, then brought through the abyss. Landing in an unknown realm, the heat was overwhelming, the darkness to only be illuminated by flames, and what seems to be lingering souls trapped in this plane. She could not bear to imagine where she had ended up. Standing before Choco is the tall dark figure that seems somewhat familiar. The apple peddler from her village? He snarls and grins and points to her neck, a choker had been placed firmly around her throat. She had been captured and brought to the kingdom of Hell. With his pale hand, the apple peddler, or now that he is known as, the Demon Lord, Lord Mao, places it gently in Choco’s hand and then guides her to the castle. She now lives her days in the castle of the Demon Lord as his guardian. Gargoyles and Demons do not mix well, as Gargoyles intentions are to deter demons away. It seems as though Choco’s allure is as sweet as the treats she used to bake, because demons are now coming in droves to the castle. This somewhat distresses Lord Mao, as he wants to protect his throne, his treasures, and gold, but to his displeasure, he notices not a single break in to this royal riches has occurred since the small gargoyle girl has been living in the palace. He does not understand how she does it, but whatever it is, he is going to keep her around for a long while.
