    Summary

    Sothis could not remember who she was or what she had been doing, but she knew deep in her heart that this was important. Sensing that her powers had been restored by her long slumber, she created a mind for the new goddess. Carefully, she placed it within the body, and for the first time, the woman awakened.

    Her name, she told Sothis, was Byleth. But her father was the only one who called her that. To everyone else, she was the Ashen Demon.

    Byleth said this in a matter-of-fact tone. Neither her voice nor her face changed even a little. If the moniker either bothered or pleased her, it did not show.

    Sothis understood why. Even with a mind of her own, the young woman was still incapable of feeling anything because she still did not have a soul.

    That was the most difficult part, and perhaps also the most important.

    A retelling of Verdant Wind focused on Byleth's divinity.

    Summary

    Her father never approved of her skills at the card table - said it wasn't honest work. Not like killing people for money, she supposed.

    (Byleth has to hustle on the side to fund the Golden Deer's tea addiction; Claude finds the class checkbook and realizes that the math doesn't add up. A retelling of the GD route that slowly diverges from canon, starting with a game of poker.)
