Details

Description: At first glance, one would not be wrong to assume it were nothing more than a large white canvas crumbled together into a makeshift cloak. An assessment that has been given to these robes more than once, even by more seasoned eyes. Closer inspection reveals that despite its initial off-putting appearance, it is much more than that. Though spread apart it almost looks like the perspective looking up through a forest, details within the greens give a far more floral appearance, to the point where one can become convinced that they actually are trees. This perception between imagery and nature is only further complicated by the small seedlings that seem to spread throughout, what appear to be aesthetic at first quickly becoming actual organisms growing upon the robes. In fact, the longer one tends to look, the less they originally recall of their originally harsh critique, instead being enthralled by just what they may see next.

Lore: Deep in the woods, a hermit used to live who spent most of her time researching plants and concocting potions. She lived a sober lifestyle without a care for the world. Sometimes, when she had a surplus of potions, she would leave them near the edges of the woods for the villagers to find. Despite being a hermit, she did not ignore those that were in dire need of her help. In order to protect her identity though, she would wipe the memories of the adults after patching them up. The children, however, were allowed to keep their memories of their encounter and were even given an origami by the hermit to cheer them up. With the mystery surrounding the hermit, some of the more religious villagers started to believe that she might have been an angel, but the children always contested that the lady of the woods had wings of paper and not feathers.
