Note: Lumi is an OC based in multiple universes and cultures. Her backstory draws with a large influence from Xianxia Dramas, however, there are also notes of Japanese influence as well. She was created for the One Piece Universe originally, thus the cultural mixture, but I felt like she'd be more appreciated here as her main base of operations so to speak.

*All detailed information for this section can be found here
Officially, Borealis is a peaceful realm. Located deep within the Northern reaches of the world, it is a place of eternal winter. The landscape has evolved to adapt to the eternal winter and over the years much of the vegetation has changed, shifting from normal plants to ones of pure living crystal. It is due to the beauty of these crystal trees and flowers that their kingdom is considered one of the most beautiful places in all of the realms and kingdoms. Drawing in countless visitors every year who come to see their cities of ice and crystal. Yet like all places of pure beauty, a darkness is hidden within the shadows. For their kingdom is known for something else within the hidden markets of the realms. The royal family has long trained and raised an army of assassins under the name of the Frozen Snow Sect. Trained from birth into an elite force that few can match and used widely by royal families, divine clans, and nobles, 'clean up' messes that they don't want uncovered. Born as the ninth child of the current King and Queen, Lumi was no exception to this brutal upbringing. Trained from the moment she could walk, into a deadly weapon, she quickly showed a genius level of potential. Easily mastering skills at a rate that far outpaced others in her age group.
It was due to this skill that her parents named her their heir above even her first born brother and sister. Yet days before her coronation as the Crown Princess, after she returned from her latest mission, she was diagnosed with the Cold Death. A disease unique to their realm whose origins are unknown to the common people. The first sign of the disease was traditionally one's hair turning snow white and then slowly their body crystallized until they were nothing more than a statue frozen in time. However, over the generations, the people of Borealis have naturally lost the pigment in their bodies so that they all have white hair and pale skin. Now the clear definition of the disease is the crystallization that begins to appear on their skin, meaning that it is rarely caught until its in the second stage of diagnosis. Uncurable, this disease can, however, be managed. Yet for Lumi, it meant that as her body weakened she'd no longer be able to use her full abilities and flair ups would render her utterly defenseless. Since the Heir had to be able to rule not only the realm but the secret Frozen Snow Sect as well, it meant that she was no longer qualified for the title of Crown Princess. Thus, overnight, she was rendered in her parents' eyes as useless and cast aside in favor of her other siblings. Abandoned by all but a few of her siblings, she became a ghost within her own home. Considered lost potential and her parents' greatest disappointment, she was left to the doctors and her nursemaid for several years. It was during these darkest years of her life that she was given the first traces of true love. Her nursemaid raised her as if she were her granddaughter and showed her that the harsh world of death she'd been raised in wasn't all that life had to offer.
At the age of 18, the Cold Death was fully controlled unlike her older sisters so her parents shifted her use. Turning her into a political weapon rather than a bloody one. She became the face of the kingdom, beloved by all, and called various names such as the Snow Fairy and Angel of Winter. Showing the people as a representation of the royal family, that even if you came down with the illness, it wasn't guaranteed to be a death sentence. It was on her 20th birthday that her parents realized how 'soft' she'd truly become. Her acts of kindness and the sweet nature she showed to the world were no longer an act, but her real personality beginning to bleed through the mask. Narrowing the reason for this gentle nature that had been beaten out of her since childhood down to her nursemaid, they had the old woman killed as a birthday present for her. Claiming that they were saving her from corruption. The next day, using the very abilities that had turned her into the ultimate killer for her family, she fled the realm. Upon the discovery of her betrayal, her family was unable to issue an official bounty. Due to the very political power and image that they'd given her, they knew their people and their political allies wouldn't accept that she'd betrayed them. Thus, instead, a lie was spread that she'd taken it upon herself to search for a cure to the Cold Death by traveling the realms. All the while they sent the very assassins she'd been raised with and even some of her own siblings after her.
Main Verse
Main Verse
Lumi's main verse is set after she runs away from Borealis. She is now wandering the realms, constantly on the run from assassins and her siblings that are set after her by her parents. One will bring her back alive to be killed later, the other will kill her and fake her death. Due to this, she has become distrustful, but still strives to be kind and warm-hearted in honor of her nursemaid, who was one of the only people who ever truly cared for her and showed her a life outside of bloodshed.
Princess of Snow
Princess of Snow
Set before Lumi runs away from home, she is recovering from the first initial onset of the Cold Death. Beloved by her kingdom, she is known as the Snow Fairy and Angel of Winter, spending her time as the main face of the family while longing for freedom. It is during this time, due to the sudden change in her life and the gift of true maternal love from her nursemaid, that she begins to question everything she was brought up to believe.
Leader of the Sect of Frozen Snow
Leader of the Sect of Frozen Snow
In this verse, a cure was found for the Cold Death several years after Lumi was diagnosed. Upon her full recovery, her title and place as the heir of the Frozen Snow Sect was reinstated, and her parents retired from their duties of running the darker side of their family and kingdom to focus on the enjoyment of life and running the kingdom. Now, as the Sect Leader, she is in charge of determining if a request is worthy of being taken on or not, along with training the next generation of assassins.
* In this verse, the death of her nursemaid had the desired effect upon her that her parents wished. Hardening her heart even further by instilling the fear that to welcome another in would lead to their eventual demise.

One Piece
Lumi's backstory and verses remain the same for One Piece. The key differences are that she is raised as a Ninja and has eaten the Nagi Nagi no Mi right before her diagnosis with the Cold Death after her parents found the fruit upon the death of Donquixote Rosinante.
The other key difference is that instead of claiming that she is looking for a cure for the Cold Death they have put out a 'reward' for her safe return. Claiming that she has gone missing. All the while they send out ninjas and her siblings to hunt her down. Along with her imperial guard Hao Tian, who is sent under the official orders to bring their Princess back safely.

Backstory
Backstory
Born to the Emperor of Yi Ti and his Empress, during a time of war Lumi was raised as a political piece to be married off to form stronger ties with their alliances. Due to the turmoil of the time in which she grew up, Lumi's personal guard took it upon himself to secrecy train the young Princess how to defend herself. Finding that she had a natural talent when it came to mastering weapons and hand-to-hand combat. Mixing in a variety of methodologies until she'd developed her own unique fighting style by the age of sixteen. It was around this time that she fell ill with an unknown sickness that stripped her hair of color and caused her skin to turn as pure as snow. While she survived the illness and was deemed cured, she was left eternally changed in appearance.
To prevent unwanted rumors of black magic or a curse from spreading her family shifted the story. Claiming that she had been touched by the old gods of ice and snow. These rumors, coupled with her already natural beauty that was turned almost ethereal now caused her to become the most loved out of her sisters by the people. Many now refer to her as the Winter Princess. Due to this elevation in adoration from the people her parents recognized that it meant they had an opportunity to wield her marriage as a more powerful political maneuver. For she was no longer just a princess of Yi Ti, but the jewel of the kingdom.
Main Verse
Main Verse
Foreign delegations are often sent between powerful empires. This was no different when it came to the Targaryen rule of Westeros. Even Yi Ti, as ancient as it was, knew the benefits of marrying into such a powerful bloodline and were perhaps even more aware of it due to how close the kingdom is to Asshai and the Shadow Lands. Few know if it was due to fear of this ancient power that borders their kingdom or for some other political reasoning, but the Winter Princess was sent to Westeros with their emissaries to discuss trade options and a potential alliance through marriage.

Lumi's Secretive Nature
Lumi's Secretive Nature
While she won't actively try to hide what her disease so clearly is to those that know of the Cold Death she won't go out of her way to note that she has such an illness. However, since fleeing from her home, she uses it, coupled with her identity as a princess, to hide the true scope of her past and what she was trained as when she needs to.
She guards her identity as an assassin closely for several reasons. The first is simply because she'd been raised to do so, yet that point is not as binding as it once would have been. The main reason now is to be underestimated and knowing that if she were to reveal her true talents it would only heighten her family's pursuit in an attempt to silence her before the secret of their dark organization is revealed to the world. It's a daggers edge, having the skills to be able to protect herself from most threats, and yet having to hide them. That coupled with her worsening condition over time also aids to her selectivity on when to actually use her training.
Lumi's Eyes
Lumi's Eyes
Her eye's were the first physical sign that caused her family to know that she'd developed the Cold Death since the people of Borealis all have white hair, making the usual sign of the disease beginning hard to detect. For Lumi, her eyes changed from a deep brown to ice blue over the course of the first few months of her illness.
