_____Welcome to the Vale of Earth Auction post. This is a very special auction as the art was done by
Luciole. This Vale is based upon the plant Pink Rose and was inspired by a young woman who contracted Breast Cancer at the age of 15. The name of the original artwork created for her is "Hope", but you will have the option of naming her anything you like along with the rare alignment "Heaven". You will receive her at her Teenager stage, and she will grow into the previewed Adult stage at your discretion and completion of growth form. You will also receive the un-watermarked full-version of each artwork at appropriate growth, you will not receive the print version since you don't own the copyrights (I do, since I paid $155 each) and we're selling it to get donations for the Komen Foundation, sorry!
_____The story of the Pink Rose is simple, and her background is the following. There was a young researcher who worked at the Vale over 20 years ago. She raised her sprout through every stage with rocketing success. The young woman's name was Researcher Esperanza Adelita Medina, and she contracted Breast Cancer after fifteen years of working at the Vale. Esperanza continued her research with the Rose while trying to undergo treatment, but her extended hours caught up with her and she eventually died, having pushed herself to the limit trying to keep the little rose girl protected from her illness. After Researcher Medina died the Vale was taken into custody, and placed into a suspended animation. Five years later her pod has been brought out and will be given to the most worthy Researcher of the purest Vale currently in the Laboratories. She has no idea why Esperanza disappeared, how long it has been, and why she was placed into comatose. You as her new Researcher must explain to her, comfort her, and become her new bond.
Taken from They Deserve It
Over the centuries roses and floral arrangements of different shades of roses symbolize a diverse range of passions. "The rose is the most beautiful of all flowers" and what adds to their beauty is their immense capability to take possession of viewer's imagination and thoughts. Pink roses mean gentility and grace. In the Talmud, it is written that only pink roses would be allowed to blossom in Jerusalem, and thus they came to symbolize paradise. Over the centuries, roses with varying shades of Pink have expressed a wide range of heartfelt sentiments and feelings. Pink Rose stands for grace and lesser feelings of love. Where as Dark Pink signifies gratitude and Light Pink conveys admiration and sympathy. As a presence in a corner of a room with its aroma, gentle pink color and shape a pink rose can make everything else look absolutely small in comparison.
