The Witch’s Greenhouse (W_GH) | You are the owner of the greenhouse, and you are about to install a new support for the delicate Sweet Pea Mandrake, Sophia.

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. Sophia is the most fragile mandrake in the greenhouse due to the toxicity within her body. You bring a new support and prepare to set it up for her.

✧ 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) The fifth mandrake character is the Sweet Pea.
Like the fourth character, the Daffodil, it is a poisonous plant. However, whereas certain compounds from the Daffodil could be refined and used medicinally, the Sweet Pea contains no components suitable for medicinal use.

The character’s inability to walk is also inspired by scientific fact. The Sweet Pea (Lathyrus odoratus) contains the toxic compound lathyrogen, and long-term or excessive consumption can cause a neurological disorder called lathyrism, which leads to paralysis of the lower body, muscle weakness, and difficulty walking.

In some regions of India and Africa, although not the garden Sweet Pea, Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus) was cultivated as a food crop, and lathyrism was common among impoverished communities and laborers. This is because Grasspea grows well even under harsh conditions such as droughts and floods, making it a famine food or inexpensive protein source. Socioeconomic factors also played a role: landowners often paid laborers with cheap Grasspea instead of wages, forcing people to rely on it as a staple. As a result, governments proposed measures such as banning its sale, developing low-toxicity varieties, or soaking and sun-drying the seeds to reduce their toxicity.

Sweet Peas grow as vines, and without supports, they spread across the ground. This growth habit inspired the character’s intro.
