A Destructive Flower is a Record of Grancrest War fanfic written by Archdemon Slayer
found on Fanfiction and Archive of Our Own. It follows Hana Almea, a mercenary who seems to attract demons. She used to work for Mest Midrick, but due to Theo replacing him as Lord, now works for him.
Hana has attempted to become an artist, but each time the Chaos seems to be absorbed into her without forming a demon seal. Regardless, she is able to manipulate her own internal Chaos like an artist to strengthen her muscles for extra speed and power, and is even able to spread Chaos to her weapons to improve their durability. Because she isn't an artist or Lord, she is unable to aborb Chaos Cores for power. She's on par with Irvin in terms of skill.
