About the Creator
Charis Alfonso is an author, artist, and creator of the magical girl manga series Kisara’s Moon, the dark-fantasy-romance novel The Tale of Jakob and the Kitsune, and the cozy autumn romance Midnight Rendezvous at the Pumpkin Patch. With a passion for storytelling that blends adventure, romance, and deep emotional themes, she crafts narratives that resonate with readers through compelling characters and heartfelt journeys.
From a young age, Charis found solace in writing, using it as a way to express emotions, navigate life’s challenges, and bring to life the stories that lived in her heart. Her works often explore themes of love, friendship, perseverance, and the search for identity, drawing inspiration from personal experiences, cherished memories, and the people who have shaped her life.
When she’s not writing, she enjoys creating art, animating, playing video games, and working on new projects for her small business, where she sells stickers, key chains, bookmarks, and more. A lover of anime, magical girl stories, and nostalgic trips to the mall, she finds joy in the little things and strives to capture that same magic in her work.
Through her writing, Charis hopes to inspire others to chase their dreams, hold onto hope, and find strength in their own stories.
Why I never gave up on my dreams.
My parents passed away in 2004. Just two months apart from each other. It was a tough time for my brothers and I, but we made it through. After years of writing and rewriting my manga; I came up with the story I wanted to tell. I wanted a way to honor their memory. So, I created Aurora and Yukito who are Kisara's parents in my manga. My family means so much to me and my parents are a huge part of who I am today. They taught me that despite what trials and tribulations you go through in life, to always be a good person. Stay true to yourself no matter what. Thank you, mom and dad, for inspiring me to never give up on my dreams.
One of the last things my father told me was, "Never stop drawing." I never forgot those words and I haven't given up once. Because of my parents' encouragement, I have published six volumes so far in my manga series, a fantasy novel and light novel!
I love you mom and dad. I miss you so much.
