Curio:A pair of slippers that seem to be made of glass and gold sparkles (Enchanted Book)
Guardian: Maggie Fealy
Item Stage: Drawn
Starting Stage: Toddler
Gender: Female
Hair: Silver-blond, up in a braided bun, with lilacs built into the braid of one side Example
Eyes: Gold and purple sparkles around the corners of her bright blue eyes
Skin: Her skin naturally should be pale and delicate, but she plays outside so much that her face, arms and legs have turned a golden tan.
Clothing Style: Fairy-tale chic, clothes that are pretty and feminine and inspired by a classic ball gown, but paired with things like skinny jeans or crop jackets.
Personality: As a toddler, Lilah's personality seems to be that she's rather fanciful. She seems to be able to occupy herself by just staring at a picture in a book for hours (in her own mind, she's imaging herself in the story and acting it out how SHE would do it). When she's with others, she's happy and energetic and is always the first up a tree or chasing after a frog in the creek.
Special Traits: Blue sparkles floating around her right shoulder, they almost form the shape of a small person.
Powers:Enchanted Swirl - She has the ability to surround herself (or other people) in an enchanted swirl and change their clothes, Birds and Rats at Work - she can summon small birds and (shudder) small rodents to do her work and Pages Taking Form - Lilah can make things from her books become real (at a younger age she has issues controlling it herself)
Flatsale Prompt
Prompt: Prompt #2
You are in a candy store with your kid, and that's when they spot it: A Caramel Apple. He or She really wants that Caramel Apple, but they're...not exactly kid friendly. But darn does that kid want it! What do they do to get it, and what do they think of it once they finally get to sink their teeth into it
Prompt Response:
Maggie's amused smile bothered Lilah more than she would say, as the red-headed woman took a pair of her best sewing scissors to her beautiful silvery blond hair.
"Was it worth it?" the seamstress asked, trying hard not to laugh, and now forcing herself to keep the smile from cracking at the corner of her mouth.
Lilah would have 'humphed' and snapped her head away, so that her hair whipped around, but that wasn't currently possible, and the young Curio didn't want any more damage to come to her already sticky hair. Hours earlier, they had been in one of her favorite places: IT'SUGAR, and she had wandered from the station where you could make your own chocolate bar (putting any sort of candy into a mold and filling it with any type of chocolate you liked!) to the display of GIANT gummy bears (One was almost as tall as herself!) to finally the counter that held the most wondrous and amazing of all things, an apple covered in rich, luscious and amazingly sticky caramel. Lilah licked her candy red lips just thinking about it now. There had been some that had other things, caramel with chocolate, caramel with nuts, Candy apples that had a coating of red candy over the apple. But it had been those sweet plain caramel apples that had drawn her attention.
After all, the best thing (everyone knew) with a good book, was curling up by the fire with a nice tasty apple. And THIS apple had the added bonus of sugaaaaar! She wanted it.
Her adoptive mother had spotted her ogling the apples. "Oh no," she had said, shaking her head. "That is just not a good idea." Lilah hadn't even heard Maggie, however, her imagination already soaring, thinking about what the beautiful piece of candy would taste like, how she'd savor it and she's go straight home and eat it with the new book (Snow White) she had just gotten, the one she had been waiting for a special occasion to crack. Maggie took her hand, breaking her out of her mind. "C'mon. Let's pick out something more, ah...well, less messy. There, I said it."
The child's jaw had dropped. She was to be DENIED this delicious confectionery treat?? She just couldn't imagine leaving the store without it. As Maggie led her to a counter with packaged candies, M&Ms, Skittles, Starburst and the like, she dropped Lilah's hand. "Here, you pick out one or two of these and I'll meet you at the counter in 5 minutes. The woman wandered over to the gummy bears again, staring at one that was as big as her hand and licking her lips. Now THAT was a gummy bear.
Thumbing through the different candies, Lilah sighed and started thinking about the book she had read recently. It had been about a street rat, who stole things and then met with a Genie. Lilah knew stealing was wrong, though...she sighed again. Behind her, over at the apple counter, the light started to bend and shimmer, taking the shape of a boy in a turban. He walked up to the counter and pointed at one of the apples and watched as the woman (who knew by now, not to question such things as shimmering, half formed children) wrapped it and handed it to him, then stood right behind Lilah, who still hadn't noticed him. She finally picked a box of Swedish Fish and walked over to the counter, where Maggie stood in line. Her light-shimmering boy shadowed her.
"That yours too?" the person at the counter asked. Maggie nodded, not looking back and Lilah went to set it up. "No, no, that's just fine, I can get 'em from here," she said. The total came to higher than the red-headed woman had anticipated, but maybe they had raised prices since last time. The two girls (and strange boy) walked home, and Lilah had gone to her room, to morn the loss of her apple, and had come down later, to find it sitting on the window sill.
It was everything her mind had built it up to be.
But now she sat here, waiting as Maggie finished clipping the caramel out of her hair (because of course she hand managed to fall asleep eating it, and started to twirl her hair and suck her thumb in her sleep). Her mother had found her like this and had woken her up and pulled her up to the bathroom. A half hour of scrubbing and rinsing had done nothing, and she had finally broken out her scissors.
Maggie turned, throwing the pieces of hair in the trash, and that's when Lilah lost it. Tears started to stream down her face, and her mother turned back just in time to see. "Oh, now...It'll grow back," she said, petting Lilah's hair. Lilah shook her head. It wasn't that. She pointed to behind Maggie (where, sticking just out of the back of her pocket, was Lilah's book. Totally and completely ruined with caramel, Maggie had been trying to hide it from her).
"My book..." she said.
The adult smiled. She knew that after having somehow managed (and Maggie still wasn't quite clear on what had happened) to get a hold of the apple, she shouldn't be offering to buy her a new book, but she hated seeing Lilah so miserable.
"Well, maybe we can go to the bookstore tomorrow," she said.
"Really?" Lilah asked.
Maggie pointed at the trash, where most of her hair now sat. "I think you've already learned your lesson."
"Right!"
"Which was?"
"Never fall asleep after having eaten an illicit candy apple!"
Maggie shook her head, laughing. "That has got to be the worse fairy-tale moral ever."
