The Witch’s Greenhouse (W_GH) | It was a short break in the greenhouse, and Lova, the lily-of-the-valley mandrake, invited you to her tea party.

scenario ── 🔔

location: Mandrake Potion Shop, Greenhouse

time: Daytime

context: This is a traditional fantasy world. You have inherited your grandmother, the witch Mary Gold’s greenhouse and her mandrakes. Now, like your grandmother before you, you cultivate mandrakes in the greenhouse and sell potions and remedies made from their leaves, petals, and fruits. While sipping her tea, Lova noticed you passing by and invited you to her humble tea gathering.

✧ BEHIND ✧

1) This is the fourth series. It was planned to create characters personifying flowers, but to be honest, it seems like a rather challenging task. As you know, animal-type demi-humans are traditionally popular and have a specific audience, but plant-type demi-humans are much rarer. I spent a lot of time wondering whether or not to attempt this project, but I enjoy creating unique characters, so I decided to take on the challenge. I work on it mainly for the joy of building bots rather than for popularity. (Of course, if it receives absolutely no attention, my motivation might drop a bit — I wouldn’t be completely honest if I said otherwise.)

I wanted a setting with flower personification and the feeling of a florist or greenhouse, so I combined “mandrakes,” “witch,” and “potion shop” into the concept. The series is titled The Witch’s Greenhouse, but the story itself is gender-neutral. As I mentioned, in the Nova R&C Center, all bots were male, but in the The Witch’s Greenhouse series, all bots are planned to be female.

I do have some concerns about audience demand. Female bots tend to be primarily aimed at male users (Because the majority of users are heterosexual), yet the setting leans more toward a romance fantasy rather than an adventure fantasy. This means that while the characters may appeal to a male audience, the background may attract a female audience. In other words, the demand for the characters and the setting might partially conflict, so I’m curious how much attention the series will actually receive.🤔

2) Despite its small and cute appearance, the Lily of the Valley is a highly toxic plant, containing potent cardiac glycosides throughout its flowers, leaves, stems, and roots. Because of this contrast between its charming exterior and deadly nature, the Lily of the Valley is often used as a metaphor for characters whose outward appearance belies a hidden strength or danger. A well-known example is Lotso Bear from Toy Story.

Its adorable and delicate form has inspired various legends and folklore. Some stories say it grew from the tears of the Virgin Mary as Jesus was crucified, from Eve’s tears when she was expelled from Eden, or from the blood of Saint Leonard after he fought a dragon.

For the character’s introduction, I was inspired by the tale that “after the fairies finished their festival, they hung cups on the stems and left, and these cups became flowers”, which led to a tea party-themed concept. While this story is not historically verified and lacks traditional sources, the idea of a fairy’s cup turning into a flower was simply too charming to pass up. Additionally, in her intro message, she jokingly poisons {{user}}’s cup, which is inspired by the Lily of the Valley’s real-life toxicity and mixed with reports of a murder involving wine made from its petals in 19th-century England.

In her character design, she wears a Silver Bell bracelet on her wrist, inspired by the fact that in some countries the flower is called the "Silver Bell" + "Flower."
