Forest Spirit - Elowen (they/them)
Elowen is the personification of the forest they're bound to protect, commonly known as forest spirits or mother trees. Everything within the borders of their forest is under their caring hand, from trees and fungi to the littlest of animals and even the Elven and Animali communities living there.
More info under the cut! ✨
The birth of a spirit comes from the need to nurture the land. One tree creates another, and when they are enough to be called a forest, a spirit is born in the oldest tree, with the never ending task of protecting the same thing that created them. Elowen is as old as their forest and their forest is as wise as them.
Many are the names they've had through the decades, given by the generations of Elves living there, like The White Lady or Zumar (old tongue).
The relationship between mortals and spirits has always been a complicated one. When the first bird communities settled in Elowen’s forest, they built a palace in their honor. They believed the forest spirit would bring them protection and good luck if they took care of the forest as much as the forest cared for them; and so it was for generations.
Gaining their favor was essential for the prosperity of their growing village, but direct contact with them was believed to be a Bad Omen, as forest spirits are known for being silent creatures that love their space. That's why birds warned their younglings about wandering too deep into the forest, as the spirit living there might curse them for disturbing the peace.
The body of a forest spirit takes decades to get fully formed, unlike the ones from their lava or water siblings. Each forest spirit has a unique look that can be completely different from one another. Forest Spirits, even if shy creatures, love every living being they protect; Elowen was always fascinated by the Elves living within their forest, the biggest Woodland communities in the continent (Sadly difficult to find nowadays).
Because of this love, they modeled their body to resemble the one of an elf, but the understanding Spirits have about mortals it’s not the most accurate. When it was fully formed, they decided to pay a visit to their dear Birds, who were so fond of taking care of the woods and built a palace to honor the spirit. There they meet the youngest son of the Chief Birds, a woodland elf who was in charge of the city’s safety working as a forest ranger.
Elowen quickly formed a great interest for the young elf, who seemed to be the only one who treated them without fear in his eyes, as an equal. The boy was determined and hardworking, always willing to help everyone, as his family taught him. He was able to calm all of Elowen’s deepest concerns, without being aware of it; and looked as fascinated for them as the spirit was about him.
————————
Today was Elowen’s turn! They’re another important character in the story that gives advice and guidance go the main character. They’re married to Aspen, although that’s a secret only a few close friends know, as the birds didn’t approve the relationship between the spirit and the elf.
Their body changes with the seasons. You can find the Almond Blossom, Summer, Cherry Blossom, Winter, Spring and Autumn designs. Making new looks for them is so fun!
Hope you like the info! 🌿

Just musings on my OCD and the idea of being ripped away from yourself by your brain.
All people with ocd have my love but a special shout out to my fellow queer ocd havers whose brain decided to be an obsessive fundamentalist Christian about it.

Give me a name
I like to believe that after all those years Lamb can’t remember what their name was, for centuries people have call them anything but it. Instead of choosing a new one, they want Narinder to do it. What’s a name after you’ve give them everything?
They’re also annoying about it, of course! ✨
These are just the thumbnails I made to plan these comic pages. I hope I can slowly work on them now! Sorry for the mess haha
