Forgotten's Name: Winsome (Win, Winny)
Forgotten's Gender: Female

The Larvae

Forgotten's Appearance (Physical):
Her skin is pale and sickly-looking. It is soft and supple to the touch, almost alarmingly so. It's coloration (what little there is of it) falls within the normal human spectrum.

Her hair is equally unusual. It is grey and hangs in thin, silky strands that shed often and cling like cobwebs. He eyes are large, ovoid, and of similar murky grey hue.

Winny's clothes are always tattered and her hands and feet are wrapped in dirty rags. It seems that no matter what she's dressed in, the clothing deteriorates in minutes...

"She was clothed in the practical sense, but in what appeared to be someone's old dishrags, like a dirty cocoon that refused to shed."

Forgotten's Appearance (Traits):
She appears to be sweet, innocent, and vulnerable, but there is an underlying current of something vicious..

The Butterfly

Forgotten's Appearance (Physical):
"She was possessed of certain virtues, the greatest of all being her hair, which fell in bright, golden waves and graced her head as proudly as any crown...
...her eyes were deep, mysterious pools of sapphires, pearlescent ovals of unmatched beauty. Her lips were as roses and her cheeks were blushed with similar hue. Her dress was that of an empress, golds and reds layered atop one another in the fashion of the western lands."


Forgotten's Appearance (Traits):
"Ne'er had I witnessed such ill-disguised beauty before this day! Bright, shining eyes, lit with fiery passion, hide behind sumptuous lashes. And her hair! I can not do it justice with so little time to remark. Surely her innocence is no guise but the full and true measure of her, one might think. But those eyes are burning down into her soul, and she is charred deeply.
Still, there lies in her face the promise of a thousand, thousand summers! Oh, that I might fall into those eyes and drown!"

Forgotten's Personality: Winny is fairly animalistic and viscious. She represents the corruption of innocence, so while her appearance (as she ages) is that of a delicate, beautiful creature, she is wholly evil. Her actions are directed by whim and fancy and she has no regrets and no regard for others. Because of this, she often comes off as kind of slow and one-dimensional. Most of her emotions and passions are largely superficial. Her primary concern is her own personal well being. She has little interest in anything else. Once you get past her golden exterior Win really is just a plain and ugly being. This doesn't make her any less dangerous however, as a spider's poison more than makes up for it's lack of intellect.

Also, she's what most would consider a slut. She's extremely hedonistic, to the point of being offensive.

Powers, talents, special traits?: Winsome represents corruption of beauty. She has a love of pretty things. This extends to people, objects, places...However, most beautiful things she touches (this is exlcusive to object) break, and with extended use wither away into a pile of grey ash not unlike her features as a child. Moths are strangely attracted to her, and the only thing she can touch without harming it is Frame. Even people tend to feel uncomfortable when they touch her, usually inspiring negative emotions.


She can also weave powerful illusions, though mostly subconcious. A kind of glamour effect that only extends a few feet away from her person.



The Transformation

Because this forgotten is based around the idea of a butterfly, she has (as you may have noticed) a 'larvae' stage, of sorts. When she is young, she appears to be plain and drab, leaving her nastier mannerisms out in the open. However, once she emerges as a full "butterfly", her beauty masks her inner turmoil and corruption. "You cant stain their pretty shoes and pom poms and cherry blondes..."

Frame represents true innocence and true beauty. Often he acts to balance her out. Something in Winny recognizes this as she refuses to let any harm come to him.

Likes:
Pretty things, although they don't seem to last around her. Gold and silver become warped and tarnished, flowers wilt, pets die mysteriously...

Dislikes:
Plain, simple things. She adores flagrancy and excess.

Daemon's Name: Frame
Daemon's Species: Butterfly

The Larvae

Daemon's Appearance (Physical):
"'He's not a worm!' The dirty-haired girl retorted, snatching the small grey creature back and cradling him to her chest. Her displeasure was readily apparent.
'He's a callerpeter, he says so,' she replied, sniffling. In truth, it was difficult to make the distinction, as the small and blandly colored insect could pass for any manner of larvae.


The Butterfly

Daemon's Appearance (Physical):
Appears to be a mountain blue butterfly, but with a distinctly brighter coloration. Is often mistaken for a normal insect and not a daemon, leading Winny to be fiercely protective of him.

Daemon's Appearance (Traits):

Generally his presence is soothing and peaceful.

Daemon's Personality:
Frame is, as his appearance suggests, a peaceful and benign being. He often uses his mellow and care-free persona to balance out Winny's cold and cruel one. While Win is moody and for the most part unpredictable, Frame is easy going and carefree.

The Transformation


That morning all Elly had time to register before a grey blur zoomed through her doorway and into her bed was the frantic rythm of tiny footsteps descending the stairs.

"Mommah, Frameses' hurt," the mass cried out, its melodic voice quite out of step with its haggard and disheveled appearance. It was Winny El's adopted daughter, and she was clearly upset over something having to do with her caterpillar friend.

Elly sat up, her face a grim mask. She had always worried something would happen to the tiny thing- all it would take was for Win to roll over in her sleep and she'd squash the poor critter. She scooped Winny into her lap, who for once didn't kick or squirm but rested her head against Elly's chest and sniffled mournfully. Win seemed alright, which was a good sign- ususally when the two were apart for any length of time they both became lethargic and sickly-looking- well, as sickly-looking as a caterpillar could be. Stranger things had happened though- like the pair falling out of an old dust-laden tome, for instance.

She moved to the edge of her bed, Win sliding out of her lap and landing against a soft pillow. Elly donned an old, tattered looking bathrobe - the house was drafty, and it had to be two in the morning! - and motioned for her little charge to lead on.

With more enthusiasm El had ever seen her display Winsome jumped off the bed and tottered back up the stairs as quickly as her tiny legs would take her. To think, the child had only learned to walk last week! Quickly they ascended the stairs and traveled down the long, dark corridor and into Winny's room. It was bare, save a toychest and bookself covered in cobwebby strands of the girl's hair. The large, downy matresses that comprised her bed sat in their corner, but there was a great slivery ball resting atop the pillow. Win ran to it, sitting delicately next to it atop her bed and motioning for El to come closer.

She complied, curious despite herself. Upon closer inspection, Elly sighed with relief. The large, fuzzy object resting atop the pillow was an oversized cocoon. She turned to pat her charge on the head reassuringly.

"It's alright, Winny-love, Frame is just sleeping. Beauty sleep, remember sweetums? He'll wake up after a week or so," she murmured gently. She wasn't entirely sure about how long a butterfly actually took to develop, but she doubted the little girl would recall any particulars.

"Meanwhile, you could use some more beauty sleep yourself," she chided lightly.

A few minutes later, Frame's cocoon was secure inside of an old peanut butter jar with holes drilled into the lid. Elly handed the jar to Win gingerly, and the girl snuggled into her blankets with it tucked under her arm.

"Niie Niie," she muttered sleepily, and El smiled as she turned off her light and shut the door.

Well, the concept is based on a butterfly, so she has a metamorphasis (sp?).

Which I will describe...later.

And I'm rewriting most of it. xD

Very interesting concept ^.^<3 I am not sure I like the direction you went with it (her personality) but hey, that's just personal choice ^_^! I'd love it if her daemon was large enough he could pretend to be a face mask - like a luna moth size! That would be stunning ^__^ I like his attitude contrast from Winny's.

Out of curiousity what exactly did you dislike about her personality?

I'm having trouble reconciling it myself, I can't decide if I'd like her to be whoa-mg evil or just very, very emotionally scarred.

Here's my in the shop response XD

Pika-Bunny
(( Basically, the "quiet and vindictive" part needs to be elaborated upon a bit. Why is she quiet? Does she like being quiet or is she not aware enough to be concerned? What hurtful event has made her vindictive? Why has she lost mercy or forgiveness? What was she like before that? "To protect herself from being hurt she keeps a cold and ruthless exterior" again some of the questions above.
"She sometimes uses her beauty to beguile others, justifying herself by thinking that they would have done the same or worse to her" - is she internally aware of what she does and if so, does she like this aspect of herself? Would she change if she felt safe? Does it bother her that she cannot trust people? Do certain types of people get this responce from her more then others? How does she deal with 'normal' situations?

Just some of the things that run through my head O.X! Sorry to be so annoying >_<))

((it's not annoying at all, that's precisely the kind of thing I was looking for. I find my description is pretty unclear as-is. xP I do plan on changing it though, I was just trying to get the ideas down...))
