Born of a forced coupling from the King of the Forbidden Island, Chernobag, with the visiting Princess of Corona, Rapunzel, Absinthe was raised by her father. Sent to him upon her birth with a declaration of war from the neighboring kingdom she was raised alongside her half-siblings. All of whom were born of different mothers and yet raised to consider only their father's blood of note.
At the age of three her father found two of the most feared devil fruits that had been recorded over the centuries. Giving one to her brother Cain and the other to her. Thus she became the second person in living history to eat the Wither Wither Fruit. All who had known the princess before she consumed this fruit thought that it had been designed for her. For she'd always preferred to spend her time wandering the dangerous woods or with her siblings. Known to be manipulative, cruel, and wicked all outside of the kingdom quickly came to fear what she would one day become. Yet to her people, while she terrified them, they knew that she'd always protect them.
A fact that was proven when the first wave of attacks came from neighboring kingdoms that feared the now 16-year-old princess. The battle was over in a matter of seconds and yet word of her power only spread, leading to her being given a bounty from the world government due to the threat she poses of 75,000,000 beri. Soon it wasn't war courting their door, by those that wished to use her for evil. Not that she'd have minded, but she wanted to choose her own acts of violence. Yet, the draw of winning her to their side put her people in danger and so at the age of 19 she left her home. Choosing to instead wander the seas and enjoy the pleasures the world had to offer.
Absinthe is now traveling the seas, wandering from Island to Island. Using her skills as an herbalist to make money when she needs it or just taking what she wants, depending on her mood. Through her travels, she has come to be called the Death Witch for many say that wherever she goes death follows in her wake.
There is a dark secret in Corona. One that only Rapunzel, her parents, Flynn, and Fairy Godmother know. For only a few weeks after the Isle was formed a baby girl was sent there, left on the doorstep of Mother Gothel at the bottom of the tower that had once been Rapunzel’s home. Wrapped in a bundle of purple, the symbol of Corona on the blanket, however, was black, and within was a note from Rapunzel. It was the last thing that she ever wanted to do and yet the truth of what her daughter was....
....for nine months earlier she’d conceived her firstborn daughters. One daughter was born from her love with Flynn....the other of Chernobag. The demon having used the last of his strength to disguise himself as Flynn lay with Rapunzel only hours after Flynn had. His power calling to the power of the moonstone within Rapunzel. Tricked into thinking she was carrying only her husband's children, the couple was horrified when their daughters were born. For while one was beautiful and bright just as Rapunzel had been, the other was the opposite of her. Her hair dark as night, eyes pitch black, and her features resembled neither parent. For in the womb she had absorbed the dark powers within her mother and inherited the Decay Incantation.
Calling for Fairy Godmother, the truth of her dark daughter’s heritage was discovered. Rapunzel had simply been the host for Chernobag’s dark powers to merge with those of the Moonstone. Why he chose Rapunzel over the Moonstones actual host was a mystery to them, but Fairy Godmother had a feeling it had to do with the decay incantation. So they tested it, brushing her hair and singing the incantation the way Mother Gothel had once done for Rapunzel. The truth crippled Rapunzel, who fell into a deep depression. Since the pregnancy had been a dangerous one, they claimed that the princess hadn’t survived birth when in truth she was sent to the Isle of the Lost in hopes to contain her devastating powers.
If you wrote with Absinth before she was adapted for One Piece those verses are still open upon request. You know what they are.
Within the spawn of Chernobag, even Cain admits that she’s the deadliest. His favorite threat is that he’ll send Absinthe instead of one of his sisters to clean up a mess because there won’t be a mess afterward. To have Absinthe sent to you is a death sentence.
