   #writever Authentic

   My name is Lisa, pronounced ‘lissa’. Everything I am about to tell you is authentic, as I cannot lie any more than my parents can; and I am the daughter of Lilith and Satan, the only ones to ever tell the Creator any home truths.

     #writever Stake

     Surprisingly, I have only been at the stake the one time. When I come into contact with flames, I take on my true form; it's a reflex, I can't help it. Boy, were the witch hunters were surprised! Then again, not for long.

     #writever Disciple

     I've met many a self-proclaimed “disciple of Jesus.” Not one of them any better than the next. He was okay, though. What? Of course I met him. I wasn't going to miss the chance to see what the Boss's son looked like!

     #writever Snake

     Not many people know this: the Serpent who tempted Eve had already tried its luck with Lilith. But my mother isn't the type to let others dictate her choices. You know that scene with Hulk and Loki? Same thing. Only, way more brutal.

     #writever Collect

     It is Father's duty to collect souls. Tempt mortals, and rid the world of those who give in. He complains that there are too many morals nowadays, and not enough of him to take care of them all.

     #writever Hypocrite

     Be devout or depraved, I don't care. You have free will after all; the choice is yours -- and so are the consequences. But I cannot stand a hypocrite. For those, very quickly, I *become* consequences.

     #writever Tom Thumb

     Demons were Created, but I was begotten and am of mixed blood. Perhaps that is why my true form seems puny compared to theirs. From time to time, one of them calls me Tom Thumb… but he never does that twice.

     #writever Fragments

     Why do none of your sacred texts talk about me? Because I have rarely been mentioned in ancient writings, and you base your modern beliefs only on fragments of these writings in which I am not referred to.

     #writever Lentilles

     Esau selling his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of lentils, it is pure legend. I know: I was there. In fact, he gave it up for nothing in return. He was only too happy to not have to deal with their parents' heritage. I totally get him.

     Alphonse says to love thy neighbour as thyself.

     Alphonse also says that only Alphonses deserve to be his neighbours.

     If Alphonse keeps yapping, I'm going to show him my true form.

     It's brutal, but it calms Alphonses down nicely.

     #writever Reveal

     Every time I am with a mortal partner, the moment I reveal to them my half-human, half-demonic nature inevitably marks the end of our relationship. With a démon, it's easier: from day one, he knows full well what I am.

     #writever David

     Goliath was barely two metres tall. He was the nicest person ever. They put him in armour and gave him a spear just so David would have an impressive opponent to slay. When I crossed paths with David's soul, I hit him right between the eyes.

     #writever Wolf

     I get on well with Fenrir. He prefers his wolf form for the same reason I prefer my human form : we both have an embarassing genitor whom we cannot disavow but from whom we want to stay as far away as possible.

     #writever Epileptic

     Not every epileptic is possessed, but every demonic possession exhibits signs close to epilepsy, while the demon adapts to the body it occupies. It's a bit like driving a car for the first time.

     #writever Prophet

     Jesus... was a mystery. For instance, he refused to be called a prophet, even though you could hardly find anyone else better suited to talk in the name of the Creator. I never found out if he did so out of humility or out of pride.

     #writever Mission

     Many people believe that Satan has rebelled against the Creator -- but they forget that Father too was Created, and for a very precise mission: to contribute to preserving Creation from its most destructive flaws.

     #writever Traditional

     Mother birthed me a succubus, and also gave me her rebellious nature. Thus I distance myself as much as possible from the traditional archetype: I am the object of men's desire, but no more or less so than any mortal woman.

     That being said, if a man bothers *me*, I will make hime regret it. But I make it a duty for myself to give him a chance to realize his mistake. Pro tip: if I ever call you "sugarplum", if you value your physical integrity... *duck*.

     #writever Religious

     Usually, when I reveal my true form to men, they lose their minds or die of fright. Except for one, who was filled with joy. Being religious, he considers his faith confirmed by my existence. We have remained friends.

     I pity the meek. When I see how you mortals are butchering the Earth right now, and when I think of what it will endure with the whole Revelations business, I'm not sure they'll inherit anything worthwhile.

     I still don't know if there is, or not, some fatality which might lead me inevitably to a predefined destiny. So I apply an inverted Pascal wager: I act as if there fate does not exist, and I will see how it turns out.
