While I'm on the subject, here's an old sketch of (teen) Cinnamon that I'm still trying to decide if I should finish or not. Looks pretty bad and I'm not sure it can be salvaged...I'll sleep on it a little longer. I do like her attitude here though, it's the exact vibe I'm going for.

If he was going to do just one thing right in his life, it may as well be that. lol

The post is still around on my other blog! I initially deleted it because I was afraid of spoilers, but I've changed my spoiler policy since then.

I definitely still want it to be a thing. I was thinking she'd eventually join the Freelance Good Guys, but she'd use a magical electric guitar as a weapon. She would specialize in telepathy and echomancy. Still working out the details, nothing is set in stone yet!

Ultimately I'm just trying to go into a Beethoven direction with her.

I think this Anon is correct!

Flora watches over all the kids in the Hollow and refuses to let anything bad happen to them. Other nymphs prefer to "let nature take its course", but Flora actually goes out of her way to protect them from harm.

She's a little less forgiving to the adults, but she loves the kids too much to let them get hurt. In "A Mage in the Making", Ginger leaves Cinnamon in the care of Mr. Ocean. Flora saw this and knew it could only end in disaster, so she kept an eye on the situation and found Cinnamon when Mr. Ocean inevitably lost her.

In "Sugar and Shine", Flora notices Itchy and Tomato foraging together in the forest. She knows Itchy's an irresponsible parent, so she kept an eye on them too, and helped them get some bird eggs for Ginger.

Unfortunately she couldn't protect Isaac when he was attacked by Red Orchid, but she did take revenge on Red Orchid in the end for hurting him.

In "Dirty Animal", it was shown that she frequently babysitted young Frederick while Olof was working.

I imagine she has also babysitted Tomato, Cinnamon, and Azadora on various occasions. Flora is just the right combination of sweet and powerful that makes parents trust her with their kids. She also has a mischievous streak, so I'm sure the kids love her too because she lets them get away with stuff that their parents don't.

Calamity loves her grandchildren a lot! She shows her affection for them in the story "Nymph's Hollow", going as far as to risk her neck stealing expensive toys for them. She's so proud of them for being good kids and she's proud of her own kid, Itchy, for raising them.

She's impressed by the fact that Tomato can read and do math, which are things she herself can't do. She doesn't seem fazed by Cinnamon's disabilities and even accommodates her by putting on lots of perfume, so that Cinnamon can recognize her by smell.

Considering her wretched past and what a bad mother she was, Calamity is a surprisingly good grandmother. I think spending 40 years in prison gave her enough time to think about her choices and shape up a bit.

Now, I will say that Calamity's standards aren't exactly high...she's lived a very rough life and her expectations for herself and others were always at rock bottom, so it doesn't take much to impress her. I think even if those kids were scummy little thieves or something, she would still love them and find something to be proud of.

It's actually quite hard to disappoint her (which is kind of sad when you think about it...)

I think Eramos' relation to Tomato is way too distant to get him into a royal gala in this case (though his status as a divine might allow him to slip in as a special guest, it just depends on the function and who is hosting it).

If Cinnamon married one of Jelani and Azura's kids, then yes, she would be considered part of a royal family and earn the right to attend!
