Croakie And Cutie

Jannina and Johanna Undershroom were twins, but sometimes even their mother had doubts about her two girls being siblings. Both were born with the fine green skin of the meadow pixies of the land, but the similarity ended there. Jannina was a real beauty, while the same inherited features became somewhat distorted on Johanna’s broad, froglike face… so much that their kinsfolk started calling them „Cutie” and „Croakie”. As the two girls grew, yet another difference became painfully obvious, though… that Jannina’s dreamlike traits covered a selfish and arrogant character, while plain Johanna was a nice, pleasant and helpful soul. 

One day the twins were doing their usual rounds in the woods, when they heard some feeble moaning from under a parasol mushroom. The moaner was a tiny and ancient man, and everybody well versed in the magical lore knows that such tiny and ancient men are usually powerful magicians in disguise. Furthermore, our learned readers also know that said tiny and ancient men usually ask for some favour, then they duly punish anyone answering their pleas in a high and mighty manner, while they fabulously reward the meek who lend them an ear and two hands.
The tiny person under the mushroom was an exemplary specimen of his kind, and so were the girls. Jannina answered his begging with a shrill and cheeky laughter, while Johanna just smiled and rolled up her sleeves… and later, when they returned to the village, their people just stood around and speechlessly stared at them. Because „Croakie” was a beautiful meadow pixie now, while „Cutie” wore some bright scars that disfigured her smooth beauty… as if their respective characters had been openly written on their small otherworldly faces.

Lotus Demon

Rahrynn knew she had been dreaming of her mother again when she saw that one of the lotus flowers, that had just blossomed the day before, now looked withered and old. Lotus flowers were so very sensitive of the mood changes of their caretakers. They were magical plants and only qualified fairies were permitted to look after them… and Rahrynn was a very special fae gardener indeed.

She was born a demon and her mother trained her carefully for her future job. What Rahrynn’s mum didn’t have a clue about, though, was the secret dream of her daughter… luckily, because she’d have skinned Rahrynn alive if she had known. Rahrynn was obediently snatching souls and howling at crossroads, and she felt generally miserable… until a demon hunter caught her mother in a powerful trap. The next day Rahrynn sawed off her horns (dammit, the pain was terrible!) and applied for a job at the Central Office for Magyckal Gardening. The old warlock at the admissions desk looked at her with some suspicion, but applicants were rare and Rahrynn seemed very, very determined indeed.

She had been a flower fairy ever since, and she was really good at her job… except those mornings when she found another dead flower and she knew she must have had another nightmare. „Oh Mum, please!” – Rahrynn begged silently. „You should see them, my dear lotus flowers, they are so very pretty… and I’m sure you’d learn how to love them. I’m expecting you back, Mum, by the way…”

Outfit: (Vanguard) „Venus” – part of the new collection by Rollyn Humphrey (150 L$). I confess I didn’t know about her shop until recently; now I’m quite impressed by the simple yet spectacular dresses she offers at a remarkably good price.

Jewellery: Finesmith „Joy” in Black. The main Finesmith shop at Blackliquid is being rebuilt for the time being, so I can’t tell you the exact price of the set.

Shoes: Stiletto Moody „Bare Marilyn” in Black (1200 L$).

Skin: PixyStix „Cupcake” – Supernatural 3 Hunt gift (0 L$). The hunt is on until March 31st.

Hair: Eshi Otawara „Lydia” Bun in Platinum. This particular hairstyle isn’t available any more - which is a pity -, but the quite similar „Large Bun” is currently on sale (200 L$ for one colour, 600 L$ for a pack of six colours).

Nails: Candy Nail „Long Nails” in Black (100 L$).

Eyes: Sterling Artistry „Underworld Eyes” in Andesine (65 L$, the 6-pair pack is 260 L$).

Poses: No Strings Attached „Frankenfae” in the first picture, Glitterati „Breast Cancer Awareness” in the second one. Neither poses are currently available, but there’s a consolation prize, too… Glitterati has a crazy sale, items with an original price of 500 L$ and up have been reduced to at least 50 % off; everything else is 100 L$. The offer is valid until the end of the Pose Fair.

The pictures were taken at Hazardous, the latest build of Wendy Xeno.
