★ the story... (novel project by Midnite)
In the Dream Realm exist the Dream Weavers, working under the Sandman. Bad Dream Weavers Co-exist with the Good Dream Weavers, a needed balance though the two kinds often clash. Even Bad Dream Weavers, however, fear the Nitemare Creators. Midnite is a Bad Dream Weaver, but rumored to be descended from a royal line of Nitemare Creators. Even her colleagues stay clear of her due to this connection. Midnite doesn't seem to mind. She takes pleasure in twisting dreams to something more... unpleasant. While she is not altogether cruel, she has no qualms in inflicting pain... and often enjoying it. She is disgusted by Star, a golden pixie-like Dream Weaver who's all sunshine and innocence, the type to frolic from dream to dream, weaving visions of gardens or mermaids. Midnite may find herself in her own Nitemare when a mission requires them to join together.
Both embark on their dangerous journey through the Dream Realms. Midnite's cold shoulder to Star slowly fades as the girl proves herself to be more than sugary fluff with a genuine ability to love and determination to protect those she considers friends. As star is targeted by the Nitemare Creators, Midnite starts feeling strangely protective. Star is the first to see underneath Midnite's cold exterior and an unlikely friendship forms; they become the perfect compliments to each other. After all, how can there be darkness without light or light without shadows?
More than fiction...
Midnite and Star are more than just characters in a story. I originally designed them as a type of mascot when Midnite (my best friend) and I started an anime club for our local area. Midnite was inspired to start a story for them while I continued doing artwork for them. They are really exaggerations based off of us and we have taken them up as a type of aliases. Because of this, not only can Midnite and Star be strictly fantasy characters, but can be in modern or anime-related settings as well.
