ASHE MOTHÈ

Ashe Mothè is a Peppered Moth, they look this way due to pollution, she is also a pun on the idiom “Litter Bug” as that is also the name of her boss music. She is 32 years old, 5’01” in height, and although she isn’t French, she has a French accent. She likes making puns, as her death quotes are “Perhaps you misunderstood. I am peppered with victory.”, “It appears that I have trashed you dear.”, and “Oh my, did I scare you with my big eyes?” she uses her wings and crumpled paper from the tips of her antenna as an attack.

She used to be a regular Poodle Moth who worked as a fashion designer and model, but as the pollution rose it caused her wings to become peppered, as even she used trash as attacks and clothing now.

RUE

Rue is cheerful and nice, but doesn’t like when people lie, and prefers to be honest. She primarily heals but isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and fight. Some moves she can use are Plant Prayer, Green Thumb, Overgrow, and Flytrap. She has a few but close friends, and wears overalls because of frequently gardening and getting dirty often. Rue wants to be an apothecary and open her own shop, and hopes to help the player achieve their dreams and bring their kingdom back to it’s originally peaceful state.

She stores the plants in a “plant pod” which is a device she had made with her parents, so she can carry them wherever she is. On her birthday, her parents made her a leaf charm, so she would be able to manipulate and conjure plants in her “plant pod”, so long as she was wearing it. Rue accidentally ran into the player while going to the store to buy seedlings, and became friends. The Player can’t use their power without getting hurt, so Rue often tries to make things for them along with her parents. She helps the player by making potions and assisting them in battles

HELL’S ARROW

Ren is reckless, persistent, passionate, and anxious. Their childhood and current circumstances form a lot of these traits, such their past in archery influencing their choice of weapon and the pressure of near-death forcing them to move through their current situation as quickly as possible. Ren likes to wear baggy, soft clothes made of silk and linen, even if they are very difficult to come by. Now that they are fighting with their sentient sword, the two must form a very symbiotic relationship with one another, as Ren needs to use the sword to fight and ultimately free their own soul, and the sword must be fed the souls of others to survive.

Ren was born as a farmer from Kyushu, Japan. Although they were born into a low-income family, they held a great passion for combat, particularly archery. As they grew older, they became skilled in combat and, after being shunned by their family for their androgyny, left to pursue their passion for combat in the Japanese military. But things took a drastic turn for Ren when they were afflicted by a curse.

GILBERT T. GNOME

Gilbert T. Gnome is a living garden gnome with a passion for gardening, exploring nature, and basically anything related to plants. Outside of these hobbies, Gilbert is quite sour, and prefers solitude rather than the company of others. He lives in a large greenhouse along with his plants. He prefers watering and tending to his plants by hand, rather than using sprinklers or other such things. He especially dislikes artificial fertilizers and pesticides, as not only do they not let you connect with your plants, they disrupt the natural world through the chemicals they leak into the soil and water, and the pollutant gasses emitted in their manufacturing process. As a result of his tender care, the plants he grows always bear the highest quality of fruits and vegetables.

He is a passionate activist against climate change, mainly because the changing climate could endanger the careful balance of many ecosystems around the globe, and not only would it keep him from seeing the unique plants that live in those ecosystems, it would keep future generations from enjoying them too.
