Difference between revisions of "Candice"

Candice Ellison is a somewhat awkward and naive, if ly strange, young woman who simply drifted into Vermont on a whim. Her appearance is a bit...off, something uncanny about proportions and placements, the slimness, her movements-- but it's far from unpleasant. Just...uncanny.

Googling her will pull up only a smattering of information: attended private school in Upstate New York in middle and high school, but anymore more recent is sparse, at best. What one can find with a bit of digging are a few designs and paintings sold via deviantART, Fine Art America, and RedBubble, and some more exclusive images from a gallery opening.

The Lost and Ensorcelled will see why she can so often be found outdoors: she resembles a flower, Candice, with skin like white petals, brilliant and clear, yellowed lips and red seeps into her hands and feet, hair white and green. Flowers bloom days after she's walked on soil, and her skin bruises very easily -- but her mantle is so very stark and remote, slightly chilled.

She explains her presence as driving through until she saw the scenery and woodlands, and was inspired to paint.

She has a definite focus on landscapes and floral themes, and her more exclusive gallery works are described as using hand-made pigments. So, of course, she can often be found painting, sketching, and doodling, or looking for supplies and materials to paint, sketch, or doodle.

She tries never to bring it up, but her sap-- er, blood-- is poisonous. As most of her can be. It's so very easy to mistake her for a Fairest, a simple Flowering, and while she won't classify herself as one, she's reluctant to correct others.
