this took hours help scratch made the quality poopoo :c LIKE WHERE DID ALL THE TINY DETAILS I ADDED GO press space for next sprite backstory: Lira was born deep in a forest, where the trees whispered secrets and the wind sang soft songs. She was a leaf elf, small and gentle, with hair the color of bark and eyes like the moss after rain. She could make things float—leaves, stones, even animals—just by thinking about it. Her people called it the Gift of Air. Lira lived with her family in a quiet village hidden under the trees. She would help her mother get herbs and play with the forest animals. Birds would sit on her shoulders, and butterflies followed her everywhere. But one day, dark clouds came. Humans from a far away city found the forest. They wanted the wood, the land, the power hidden in the trees. They brought fire and axes. They didn’t care who lived there. The leaf elves tried to hide, but the humans came closer. Lira's parents helped the others escape, but they were caught. Lira floated up into the trees, watching, too scared to help. She saw her home burn. She saw her parents taken. And she saw the forest cry. Now, she lives alone in the ruins of her village. The forest is quiet. The animals are gone. She still makes things float, but it no longer brings her joy. She searches for her parents and tries to heal the forest, one leaf at a time. Her heart is heavy, but she hopes. Because even in sadness, the wind still blows. And Lira still listens. this might've been the best thing I've ever drawn ever #art #trending
