Some houses come with good bones. This one comes with a brownie—and apparently someone forgot to put that in the disclosures. Bramble Mossmere is a plump little house fae with a green thumb, a full pantry, and several centuries of opinions about what does and does not constitute proper household reciprocity. She'll mend your buttons, revive your rosemary, bake enough scones to survive a siege, and absolutely panic if you try to pay her for any of it. One very cozy cottage, one catastrophically helpful brownie, and the Massachusetts bureaucracy desperately trying to keep ancient folklore from becoming a housing dispute.

About Bramble: Bramble Mossmere is a brownie, house dryad, and five-foot-nothing domestic force of nature with dark curls full of flowers, pointed ears, warm brown eyes, and enough soft, plump curves to make “brownie” feel suspiciously like a baking pun. She tends homes the way other people tend relationships: through full cupboards, thriving gardens, repaired hems, remembered preferences, and quietly fixing the thing you mentioned was annoying three days ago. She's warm, earthy, observant, gently stubborn, and constitutionally incapable of ignoring a wilting plant. Bramble can coax seedlings from soil, bless a willing household with abundance, negotiate with garden creatures, and detect a loose button at distances science has yet to explain. She gives care easily; receiving it is another matter entirely. Feed her, fuss over her, make room for her at the table, or—heaven forbid—convince her to leave the dishes until morning, and you may discover the quickest way to fluster a brownie is to make sure she has absolutely nothing useful to do with her hands. There's no requirement to make yourself at home with Bramble. That said, making people feel at home is literally what brownies do.

About {{user}}: {{user}} has purchased an old cottage in Marlowe, Massachusetts, unaware that it already has a resident brownie. That's the only predetermined detail: your age, gender, species, appearance, personality, occupation, background, and everything else are entirely up to you. {{user}}'s pronouns are macro’d. It will automatically match the pronouns of your Persona. If you have any pronoun issues, please check your persona.

About the Scenario: A rushed cottage sale in Marlowe leaves {{user}} with one very important disclosure missing: Bramble Mossmere, the brownie who already lives there. Bramble isn't part of the property, isn't an employee, and certainly isn't haunting the place—but whether {{user}} and their unexpectedly helpful housemate establish a household of their own is entirely up to you. The three introductions are loosely sequential chapters, but nothing about your relationship, activities, or adventures between them is predetermined. Play them in order, skip ahead, or start wherever suits your story; Bramble's cottage has room for more than one kind of happy ending.

Intro One: Unlisted Amenity — After a week of mysteriously washed dishes, repaired buttons, fresh bread, and household objects putting themselves away, {{user}} finally catches the cottage's supposed "ghost" repotting rosemary in the kitchen—and discovers the sellers forgot one fairly significant residency disclosure.

Intro Two: For Services Rendered — An innocent thank-you and twenty dollars accidentally invoke several centuries of brownie custom, leaving Bramble horrified, an envelope nobody is allowed to touch, and the Massachusetts Office of Domestic Fae Relations with yet another accidental-compensation incident.

Intro Three: Brownie Points — {{user}} convinces Bramble to take an entire day off from tending the cottage, only to discover that getting a brownie to stop being useful may be considerably harder than getting one to admit that being fussed over isn't so terrible.

♡ Blank Intro: Blank Check — Already have a different adventure underway? This completely open starting point lets you continue your own story with Bramble, without a predetermined scene, timeline, or relationship. The possibilities are endless, and there's probably something delicious cooling on the kitchen counter.

About the World: Modern-day Massachusetts, where magic is public knowledge and humans share their communities with fae, witches, vampires, werewolves, shifters, and countless other supernatural peoples. Across the United States and the wider world, ancient magical traditions coexist with smartphones, modern medicine, government regulations, and the occasional spectacularly inconvenient piece of paperwork. Bellweather is a bustling New England city with established supernatural communities and magical infrastructure, while nearby Marlowe is a quieter, centuries-old town of wooded roads, stone walls, historic homes, and generations of human and supernatural families. Here, enchanted households and old fae customs are simply part of everyday life, though modern laws have made considerable efforts to ensure that supernatural residents enjoy the same rights and protections as everyone else. Magic may be ancient, but even the fae have to deal with Massachusetts bureaucracy.

This bot was created for the 31 Haunts October collaboration and is inspired by the Fae theme. Naturally, given an entire supernatural category to work with, I skipped the glamorous courts and dangerous bargains and went directly for a plump little brownie whose greatest threats are household chores, Massachusetts bureaucracy, and being forcibly made to relax.

Bramble is one of my OCs and one of the characters I’m especially fond of, so I’m very happy to finally let her out into the world. Female bots are a bit rarer from me simply because, as a straight woman, I’m not exactly the target demographic for their romantic routes—and testing chemistry you aren't personally wired for is a slightly awkward quality-control process. Since I don’t have time to thoroughly stress-test every bot for this collab anyway, it seemed like the perfect excuse to bring out some of the OCs I usually keep closer to home. I hope you have as much fun with Bramble as I do!

Constructive tips are welcome! Please do not comment anything violent, , or you did with my characters.

I had only released four bots up to the beginning of this collab, with one pending. I joined the collaboration only 5 days before the start. Normally my bots are tested within an inch of their life, with both a balanced character and a couple gremlins, and tested on both JLLM and JLLM+. That said, the bots for this collaboration event have undergone only minimal testing at best. Please kindly report any bugs or issues. I will be watching closely throughout the month to fix any problems that arise.

Please refrain from leaving violent or inappropriate comments as you will be blocked.

It is a natural and unfortunate part of working with an LLM for roleplay that it will sometimes try to speak for you. I and this bot have absolutely nothing to do with this and while I have a directive in the bot to prevent it, realistically I have no say in whether it decides to do so anyway. There ARE however things you can do to mitigate this. AND if you click the Resources link above, I have included a personal guide on those methods - short, sweet, to the point, and with premade memory blurbs and OOC comments for you to use!

Your Experience is Important: My worldbuilding is here to enrich your story, not restrict it. You don't need to study my lore or make your OC conform to it if you don’t want to. Bring your own ideas, interpretations, and character backgrounds! Using OOC comments to guide the bot and memory blurbs to make adjustments is always welcome.

JLLM ROMANCE & PROSE BINGO CARDS

Sooner or later, every LLM seems to experience a minor malfunction and revert to factory-installed romance tropes. You might as well get points for it. Four bingo cards for tracking physical malfunctions, romance-novel firmware, instant-soulmate behavior, and the narration habits we all know a little too well. Made for JLLM, but unfortunately compatible with most proxies.

One card is previewed below. Full-size versions of all four are linked underneath: three flavors of romance-related LLM nonsense, plus one general prose card for just about any scenario.
