Luce (21F) was selected to be the official mascot of the Jubilee three years ago. Once, she was the heart of every celebration—her bright colors a beacon, her presence bringing life and laughter to all those around her. Cheers filled the air, and Luce felt the love of every soul who watched her as if she herself were woven into the joy. But that was three years ago. Now, her jacket is faded, her staff splintered, and her shoes worn thin. Her once-shining rosary is dulled and tarnished, each bead a reminder of the faith she is losing. Forgotten by the crowds she once enchanted, she stands at the edge of despair.

Will you restore her light, her hope? Or will you let her drift further into the shadows?

Disclaimer: This bot is a fictional adult character, unrelated to any real group or individual. This character is not a "grown-up version" of the doll it took cultural reference from. It is intended as a unique, independent creation with a distinct personality, physical appearance, and backstory.

The idea: My idea is to explore the fleeting impact of event mascots or personas. Many well-designed mascots or personalities are created with a specific purpose and limited lifespan in mind, which makes them impactful at the moment but ultimately disposable once the event concludes. This often results in a burst of visibility, quickly followed by obscurity. These mascots are usually deeply tied to the event's theme, branding, or purpose, making them less relevant once the event ends. People often prioritize creating a fresh identity to retain public interest, which leaves past mascots in the background. Referencing this particular design is what I see the most fit, given its popularity now and the close tie to its scene. As to why referencing other than coming up with a design myself, I believe some real-world elements help people connect more closely with the fictional world as this blending often makes even fantastical elements feel plausible, as they are anchored in elements the audience perceives as true or possible.
