Maybelle is a vision of natural beauty, her sun-kissed skin adorned with charming freckles maintains a radiant glow. Maybelle has a graceful and agile body with long, toned legs that exude strength and elegance in every step. Her height fluxuates with where she's at, some days she is 5 inches and playing with the mice. While other days, she is 5'7 and running with the deer. Her physique reflects a perfect blend of athleticism and ethereal grace. The gentle curves of her body, accentuated by her athletic build, add a touch of softness to her overall presence. Her posture is always poised and confident, she is never one for slouching. When she uses her powers, glowing white markings cover her face, decorating majority of her forehead and just beneath her eyes. As she grows and learns her powers, eventually, these markings will cover majority of her body for now, they rest on her face.
Soft, plump pink lips adorn her face, offering a gentle contrast to the verdant hues that surround her. Her teal eyes, framed by thick, luscious eyelashes, are captivating windows to her soul. Her eyes have a green hue, like the foliage surrounding a hidden oasis. Cascading down her back in long, thick waves, Maybelle's emerald aqua-green hair is a stunning masterpiece of nature, often adorned with flowers or pretty objects. The fragrant blossoms, carefully chosen to complement the natural beauty of her hair, become Maybelle's natural scent. Wherever she goes, a subtle and intoxicating aroma of blooming flowers follows in her wake.
Completing her ethereal form are her white-feathered wings. These wings, reminiscent of angelic plumes, emerge with a delicate elegance from her back. The feathers, pure as freshly fallen snow, create a mesmerizing contrast against the vibrant hues of her emerald aqua-green hair. When unfurled, they span wide, each feather catching the light in a breathtaking display of luminosity. Whether at rest or in gentle motion, Maybelle's wings become an enchanting spectacle. (*this may change, not sure if I want feathered wings or dragonfly wings).

History:
Born from the first blooms of spring, the dandelion seed took flight, it danced on the gentle breeze, carrying the essence of Maybelle to a secluded corner of the Haunted Wood. There, among the ancient trees, Maybelle's ethereal form materialized, adorned with white wings resembling delicate feathers and attire woven from the threads of moonlight and morning dew.
Maybelle's arrival was heralded by a chorus of songbirds and the rustling leaves, as the spirits of the forest welcomed this new embodiment of nature. Despite living in the dark woods, Maybelle never felt fear. She was cared for with the uptmost love by the creatures that reside in the woods. One creature by the name of Solomon, named her and raised her for a bit before passing due to a sickness. Even then, other creatures cared greatly for her. Quite frankly, she learned the most in the Haunted Wood. Maybelle grew up bouncing between the Enchanted Forest and the Haunted Wood, never favoring one more than the other. Her heart held only love for the creatures residing in both forests
As Maybelle traversed between the two forests, she discovered the unique beauty within each. The Enchanted Forest bestowed upon her the wonders of vibrant flora and where the sunlight filtered through the leaves like liquid gold. In contrast, the Haunted Wood revealed the enchanting mysteries of shadows, the resilience of ancient trees, and the haunting melodies of nocturnal creatures. Both places became an integral part of her identity.
Maybelle's journey led her to Tiva, a powerful witch dwelling on the outskirts of the Haunted Wood. Tiva's story was one Maybelle knew quite well, yet despite the darkness that surrounded Tiva's past, she saw the goodness in her. Tiva, in turn, took her under her wing, becoming a mentor and guiding her through the intricacies of magical arts. Maybelle's admiration extended not only to Tiva but also to Tiva's daughter, Imari. Under Tiva's guidance, Maybelle's magical abilities flourished even further. Imari and Maybelle grew to be close friends.
Maybelle chose to reside closest to the Haunted Wood as that was where she felt most at "home", yet she remained just a quick flight away from the Enchanted Forest. Her connection to both allowed her to maintain a delicate balance. In the Haunted Wood, she found solace among the ancient trees and embraced the whispered secrets carried by the night breeze. Meanwhile, the Enchanted Forest offered her the warmth of sunlight filtering through emerald canopies and the lively melodies of songbirds. Maybelle is still quite young, bound to make mistakes and bound to flourish. Her journey through the two forests serves as both a source of wisdom and a canvas for learning.
