    Scarlet Colored Shadow

    Fear of the younger sister who possesses powers impossible to control. Fear of my own strength likely to destroy even my beloved older sister. Sisters who can't face each other, carried a shadow in my heart.

    At first I thought it funny that Flandre, of all people, would be portrayed as little more than a little girl. Then I realized – duh, that's exactly what she wants to be, isn't it? But she can't escape the darkness: not the darkness of the basement, and not the darkness of isolation when everyone just runs from her. So it slowly seeps up her skin, chipping away at her white, pretty exterior. Eventually it will reach all the way to her head, consuming her, and there will be nothing left but the dark, scary monster that she will come to believe to be her only identity. So Flandre Scarlet cries, alone, in the dark.

    Though I think Mazeran adding more of a monster element to her darkened half would've added a better touch, based on all that.
