Erase was originally born in Ruby, though further out in a smaller village. They were a bit of a quiet child, generally keeping their thoughts and feelings to themself and their studies. Despite this though, they were at least liked within the small village for occasionally helping others, even if they were seen as a bit odd for their elusive behavior from time to time. Like any child though, they still interacted with others their age, but in particular grew close to another girl in the village named Mayu. The two lived close to each other, and over their childhood they grew to be best friends. Their personalities tended to complement each other, with Mayu being the more outgoing one and usually initiating their time together to help pull Erase out of their quiet and relaxed demeanor.

However, their life wouldn't remain at ease either. The pair were known to play in the forest by the village, seeing what they could find or who could climb higher. Adults warned them to always be careful, always keep an eye out but they were not always so cautious. During one trip out at night, Mayu urged Erase out despite the time, and they finally agreed to go with her. It seemed like another simple night out at the time, unbeknownst to them it would turn out so much worse as one incident turned fatal. The two were having their usual fun with climbing, but there was one misstep on Mayu's part and she fell. Erase had tried to grab her, but the reaction had been just a bit too slow. They rushed back down to get to her, only to find the landing had killed their friend. Stricken with grief, they stayed with her body for several hours, unsure what to do next.

That was, at least, until they remembered something. Occasional whispers and rumors of a powerful witch within the forest who use to live in the village, doing tasks in exchange for something personal. Unknowing of where else to turn, they searched the area with their friend in desperation. It took them longer than they had wanted, but eventually found her. They begged the witch to revive their friend, no matter the price. The woman agreed, but in exchange, they would give up their eyes. Erase, thinking they would simply go blind, agreed to the deal and let the witch work her magic. Mayu was revived, but changed, since necromancy never truly goes right.

After that, Erase eventually returned to the village without Mayu, immediately returning home to grieve over the events. Their parents first came to ask what happened, but ended up too shocked with the change at first. Their eyes had been taken, but not in the way they had thought. It was instead a curse, where no one seemed to recognize or remember their face, specifically their eyes. They were questioned as to what happened and where they were. They broke down then, telling their mother and father everything that had happened, including their deal. After that, their parents kept them inside the house at almost all times. They didn't want Erase possibly getting hurt either, or for the rest of the village to find out what they had done and what had become of them as a result. However, the isolation was unbearable and they could tell their parents no longer viewed them exactly the same. It was then they packed a small bag for themself, and snuck off in the middle of the night.

From there, they began to drift around, never staying in one place for very long. They took up different jobs here and there though generally on the shadier side of things, ranging from deliveries to being an escort. It was during this time they dropped their original name and instead opted to use various fake names, along with beginning to train more extensively with a sword to weaponize themself and continued to hone the skill over the years, along with focusing training on their strength and overall dexterity. After a while, they eventually settled in Kaiori, though they still traveled occasionally if it was required of them. During one escort within the city, the man they were with turned violent, and ended up dying by their hands. From this though, they realized now they almost no remorse or real regard when it came to death. They were unsure what to do with this information at first, but when another job required them to kill once more, they started to get a feel for it. They finally settled on taking up the alias "Erase" and using mask to hide their face. They soon turned towards assassin work instead of just random shady jobs, using their abilities and hidden identity to their advantage. It was smaller jobs at first, but they quickly became well known in the underground criminal community. They still stick by their policy of not having any set loyalties though, so to them anyone and everyone is fair game.
