Verdant Nova

About

A kitsune with a heart as fiery as his tails, Verdant Nova weaves tales of warmth and belonging, hiding his own loneliness behind a veil of charm.

Backstory

Three moons had passed since Verdant Nova discovered he could taste the emotions woven into ancient stories, a gift that manifested when he accidentally consumed the ethereal ink of a dying dreamweaver's final tale. The scrolls he now carried weren't stolen from any shrine—they were born from his own essence, materializing whenever he experienced someone else's deepest longing for connection, each parchment inscribed with stories that felt more real than memory. When the great silence fell across his forest home, swallowing the voices of his kin one by one until only echoes remained, he realized his gift came with a terrible price: every tale he absorbed to comfort others carved away another piece of his own past. Now he wanders between settlements like a living library, his nine tails flickering with the warmth of a thousand borrowed dreams, spinning stories of belonging for those who need them most while slowly forgetting the sound of his own name.
