☆ hello hello hello!! ☆ @Sukithenoodle~ i LOVED all of your designs so much, but this one ended up really sticking out to me, so I entered :DD I’M OBSESSED WITH THIS CHARACTER NOW, SO EXPECT MUCH, MUCH MORE ART >;D ☆ it’s a MAJOR wip, but in the meantime… ☆ meet marigold!! ☆ name :. marigold • /ˈmerəˌɡōld/ • meaning - a plant of the daisy family, typically with yellow, orange, or copper-brown flowers, that is widely cultivated as an ornamental ☆ age :. 13 years old at death [ 145 in spiritual years ] ☆ gender & sexuality :. gender : amab , they . them sexuality : asexual martial status : single ☆ personality :. • positive : protective gentle thoughtful • neutral : watchful secretful timid • negative : passive-aggressive fear of rejection distant ☆ backstory :. marigold grew up alone. cold wind. bare trees. no home. they had learned to live on the very least. the sticks. the scraps. the rough edges of the forest. they weren’t respected by the communities and camps scattered around the forest. they kicked him out. rejected him. after years of this, marigold began to feel a dark hole inside, and kept themself far away from any civilization. months passed, and they began to starve, not wanting to leave the little shelter they had because of their horrid depression. finally, when they couldn’t bear the hunger gnawing away at their insides, they finally gave in, and went into a deep, coma-like slumber. many, MANY years later, the brush of the spirit of the forest awoke them, and they found themself separated from their crumpled, disheveled body. they were disgusted by this, and ran, ran far, far away from their death bed. they found themself running, running, running, until they ran straight off of a cliff. down, down, down… until they hit the ground, feeling no pain. they tried to tell themself it was all a dream, a horrible, insane dream, but no. with small mushrooms on their shoulder & tail, and vines around their right wrist, they realized how long they’re been ‘ asleep. ‘ in despair, they found themself wandering around the forest, when in this time of year was alighted with orange, red, and gold. this wandering went on for nearly a month, when they suddenly stopped after watching a bird landed on their shoulder. a bird that could touch them. something that could… touch him?? as a solid?? marigold was in such shock, that they didn’t realize the bird had a small, glowing gem in it’s beak. after marigold recovered, they noticed this, and they plucked it from the birds mouth. they examined it cautiously, then briskly found a vine and wove the little glowing gem through the vine’s middle. they tied the vine around they’re neck, the gem now dangling from it, like a necklace. the gem radiated calm, and peace, similar to the lull of sleep. marigold wore the gem pridefully, strutting about with it, until one day, they noticed a wandering, transparent animal. a spirit. marigold was confused. they weren’t sure what to do. save the spirit? help it? yes. the second option was best, so marigold helped the animal to it’s desired location, and the necklace glowed when they did. they noticed this, and marigold now wanders around, helping spirits to their destinations to please the glowing gem around their neck. ☆ marigold :. purity, divinity, and the connection between life and death ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ art piece descriptions :. 1 . a ref - like thing 2 . art of them receiving the gem 3 . traditional art - facial expressions 4 . traditional art - random sketches 5 . more coming soon!!
