Alula keeps her eyes closed for a reason. Since birth, she was told she had the eyes of a demon. Starfliers normally have the same colored eyes, and believe that the Starfliers with heterochromia, or the thing that makes their eyes two different colors, are demons. Nova and Astral!Ash are the only Starfliers who accept Alula’s eyes. However, Alula is self conscious about her eyes, and therefore keeps them closed all the time.
If you wanna know why I had some angst revolving around my fav AU, it’s because this is what happens sometimes in the real world. Some people are born different, and are teased because of it. Some people...are like Alula in this way. But if you see someone with a disability, disease, or any difference from others, don’t be mean to them, be kind to them. It might make their day better.
