The Black Swan
Black Swan of the Moonlit Night
I'm so tired of pretending to be a white swan.
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
A princess cursed into a swan who was meant to regain human form only on the midnight lake, but after wearing the disguise far too long, the 'dark impulse' became her true self. As she dances with grace, she softly whispers to onlookers the name of the person they are 'secretly jealous of.' Each white feather she plucks deepens the dark by one shade. The more a person keeps up appearances, the more clearly they are reflected in her lake.
Relationships with other curses
With Snow White Snow-Whitened, both 'princesses bound by beauty,' she trades complaints at the lakeside. She's a little exasperated by the idealism of Venus The Sea-Born Venus.
How to deal with this curse
The Black Swan embodies the everyday frustration of "fairy tales." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
