This is specifically for anappeladay. Now before you go! Ong!! Apple got a special gift!!

Well..not exactly. This might be weird or sound like a lie (actually, now that I'm reading it again it DOES sound like a big fat lie LMAO).

I actually got the sudden urge to just..draw. Like no warning. Nothing. Now why am I making a big deal out of this? Because I have genuinely never felt the actual passion to draw something. Yes, I might be motivated but there may or may not lie a passion behind it which in most wasn't.

Then came this. I don't know why I drew this. Initially I was like, "Hey, why not draw something? Like an apple since it's so simple. I can make a simple design!" Then I actually patiently waited and continued to draw for hours. It's been so long since I drew in a phone especially in a laggy phone like mine lol

Anyway, it was literally not even supposed to be a gift in the first place. I just thought it was super weird to have the urge to draw all of a sudden and since it's a pretty good time where Apple got 500 followers (or at least nearly 600 now lmao) I can just sinply file it under "gift" category and handing it to fae while pretending this was not meant to be weird coincidence at all.

Ok, all that aside tho, I genuinely think that apple's enthusiastic and energetic attitude is genuinely rubbing on me. After seeing them with such fire while working for the things they love and work as a hobby. I guess, I couldn't helo but remember my fierce love for painting again.

Ig, at the end of the day, no matter how far I am I will still love painting as it stayed by my side in my ups and downs. And even I will never regain my passion for it again, I will never ever try to separate my identity to painting. For that as a child, I have always revolved around. Even if I don't pay much attention to it now because of hard life pushed to me and forcefully drained out all the colours or perhaps, I simply outgrow it. Not completely of course, but still. Who knows, who knows. Maybe it could be one of the reason or both or something else entirely.

"B-BU-BUT XIA!!!!" Yes, Xia here 🥰

"Why do you have this random ahh @?" Because that's the account of my insta silly goose!!! Yes, I always tag my account name whenever I draw. It has always been a thing for me just incase anybody would steal my art.

"BUT WHY DOES APPLE LOOKS LIKE WATERMELON HERE?!?! WHY DOES THEY HAVE A WEIRD ASS THINGS POKING AROUND THEIR NECK?!?!" That's an apple silly!! 🥹 Watermelon doesn't grow attached with a leave do they? Also those are seeds around their neck lmao

NOW!! I SHALL PRESENT THEE THE LORE OF THIS FINE FAE!! Yes, they have a lore now. Because..because I can. (actually I have made this all the lore in my head all alone while pretending to do commentary in skme sort of video while an invisible audience watches me fumbling with my drawing lmao). Also some of them are pieces of information that I leanrt from apple's life from reading their comments in j.ai and all so I got inspired to write this:

• So let's start with the very obvious. I have said Fae, specifically. So why apple of all things? Well, first of all, Apple (yes their literal name is appel because Apple is suppose to be like Appel the actual creator instead their name is actually correct..) has always found themselves associate with nature and humankind far more easily than faes. Besides, it's faes. Of course, they would be more associates with nature dummy /affectionate. As they are usually known to be decisve, tricky and well.. as the general consensus of the humen knew about them. Appel was always be an expection and have also been neglected due their poorer health. Although they were healthy than humans, under fae's view and their definition of 'health', Appel was deemed as unhealthy. Also due to their kindly nature to humans, they have been subjugated to neglect and teasing by others. Teasing, never bullying because they were born under a prominent family who had enough power over the hierarchy.

• Yet, Apple didn't like that. It's made them feel..less. More alien from their own kind. They didn't quite fit in. Even if some of them, including Appel were born under the same forest and have grown together. Not to mention, they never their behavior. After all, Appel had the tendency to get out of the fae circle from time to time as a child and watch humans while hiding in the forest. So the little appel fae has left the fae circle one day without any warning and didn't even look back. They were sick of the injustice and they didn't feel like they belong here. So they began to stay at the human forest and hide, watching them with growing innocent interest and child like curiosity.

• It was by that time, they met a prince! A prince of some unknown kingdom. Yes, the prince was fascinated by the fae and would try to talk to talk to them. But since Appel was shy (and because they don't want to be seen) they often talked to the said prince while hiding themselves, by sitting on a tree whilw disguising themselves as an appel. So they won't be found out. Appel thought they made a new friend and though, they weren't that close, they were happy with it because they didn't want to be too close to humans as to be captured by them.

• The prince on the other hand, grew bolder and bolder, thinking of them as his love of his life because of his lonely ahh life (serves him right lowkey). And due to that, the prince would often call them as his lover. Appel.. well, appel didn't like that at all. Often corrected him and try to maintain some safe space and distance from him. They didn't want to create a parasocial relationship with a human but rather a genuine bond separate from their fae life.

• However as days went by, prince finally noticed the suspiciously looking healthy appel just.. sitting on the tree instead of falling to the ground. Not to mention, don't fruits usually stick to the tree branch? It was enough of a telltale sign to capture the fae who was disguising as an appel.

• Appel somehow in some way got away from the crazy prince who was obsessed (and delusional) with them. During the middle of escape, Appel's long cape and long beautiful red hair got cut off. (Rip to both of these 😔💔) After they got back to the fae circle, Appel stopped going back to the human world for a while now.

• As for her hair and her cape..they had to cut her hair because apparently it looked bad on them so they went for a more..resonate to the actual fruit. The torn off cape was still kept, although torn to shreds, through their magic they kept it aflot.

• So..what about the stars on their head? The stars represents the hierarchy of their family. Stars are like the third most important amongst the fae. Anyone that has it can't easily be cornered and had to be respected. What about the number of stars on their head? It represents how many lives they can live! Currently she already lost one, in the admist of escaping from the prince. So now they have 3 stars left on their head!

• And the yellowish tips of their finger? And the strange writing on their hand? The yellowish tips of their hand are due to a magical ability they were born! They are capable of making any land, be it barren or wasteland to turn into a beautiful garden of fruits and flowers and greens! That is why humans often sort to find and capture them because humans in the era value land much more than any other material goods because land can provide food, shelter and everything if built on it. That's also why the silly little appel is also called, "The hand of gold". Here gold refers both of the golden like fingers they have and the 'gold' through which the hand provides, that is land filled with fertility and food.

• As for the random ahh characters on their hand, it's fae writing. They have deliberately written a spell after spending time in the library to 'disguise' themselves as human. Through this spell, even if they are a fae, to a human eye they will appear to be human. That's why if they act strangely, then they just think they are crazy or something but in a good way, like enthusiastically crazy because of different culture or smth like that 😭

• "XIA XIA!!! WHY THE PLAIN AHH CLOTHES IF THEY ARE FROM A REALLY PROMINENT FAMILY?!?!?!?" Now, hold on there's a reason (that I invented). The reason for Appel's having plain clothes, they don't exactly have a care for clothes. Especially after watching humans for a long time, they have been wondering how it was to wear clothes o their style. So they tried it..and they liked it! So they keep wearing it.

• "So..does that mean that Appel is mean to humans now..?" No!! They were deathly afraid of going back to human world for a short period of time (by short, I mean like a hundred years because fae's sense of time is different from that of humans). But they are still very kind to them, just more shy and careful after that incident so they basically stay in an appel form from somewhere that the human eye can't find easily and also in such a distance that they humans can still hear them.

"B-B-BUT XIA!!! ANY OF THAT DOESN'T REALLY SOUND MUCH LIKE THE REAL FAE LORE!!!" It isn't supposed to be. Considering I lack knowledge in that regard. Besides, I didn't really had much intention to make it historically accurate to the actual fae lore lmao. So think of it as a random ahh character whose creator completely butchered the historical accuracy and decided to throw it outside the window just for the sake of fun.

Anyway, lastly I would say happy 500 (or almost 600) followers. I hope you don't mind the silly rant. Of some OC lore that is suppose to be you but instead made a whole ahh different character quite similar to you 😭
