my main is @pawbox! don't credit @boxpaw, she doesn't deserves it. contest hosted by @waterbobo! happy early birthday!! :D [folia's pov] among the tall trees, here lies a small cottage. it's your house, you found your house, so old-fashioned yet so cozy. you finished collecting some shrooms for your dinner tonight, so you headed towards the door and the first thing you encountered is your parents having an argument to each other. you wondered why, but why even bother? turns out, your parents are arguing about your grandmother being sick, and she doesn't get better overtime. you sense that something bad will happen, so you headed towards your grandmother's room and check her out. "oh. good evening, li...", said your grandmother. "can you close the door for me for a second?" she asked, so you did her request and she welcomed you afterwards. you then checked her temperature, and she doesn't seem like she had a fever. before you try to check her up properly, she asked again, "can i tell you a secret before you move on?" you're a bit unsure with the sudden request, but you agreed, as you don't want to hurt your own grandmother's feelings. "keep this pin with you." she said with a serious tone. you're very confused and said, "sure gran gran, but may i ask why do i need to keep it?" "i choose you to be the next guardian of the forest." she said. you thought, "what is gran gran thinking? is she's teasing me out?" but she had a serious look on her face. "don't overthink, you'll find it out later on." she said, and so, you tried putting the pin in your own bag, but she straight up stop and refuses you from continuing. "you need to put it in your hair", she said. which you know that your action does seemed a bit rude that you're gonna hide it afterwards. the gem's hue switched to the color of your shirt, and you're surprised! it seems like you had a lot to learn about. maybe your gran gran is in fact, not ridiculous at all. Folia, which is a name derived from a scientific name of a common lavender: "Lavendula angustifolia", is a girl who will turn 13 for a few days. and before her grandmother's passing, she is chosen as the next guardian of the forest. with her magic gem on her side, she can take down evil entities away to restore the harmony between humans and spirits. Folia has the traits of a guardian: strong, determined, and patient. on the other hand, is a bit stubborn, and judge way too easily. Folia's design is based on her favorite flower, lilac. and her wavy-ish design is based on her favorite animal, jellyfish. i also tried to make her design pretty, yet simple, because i don't want others to make her hard to draw. she's a big nerd about nature, and will know every type of mushrooms she collected. the first design is her casual outfit, and the second one is when she's a guardian. - - - now her story and description is done, i really need some random criticism about my writing skills. i'll take whatever it cost just to improve it. ;; again, happy early birthday! this is definitely my first time writing a character's story for somebody else, especially fantasy stories. i'm not really into writing haha... :checks every scrapped stories i made in my notes app: well maybe i am. you can adjust the story or change some of the designs of Folia through your likings, i don't really mind at all! :] gotta go back to sleep again, byeeee
