some lil flower inspired guys!!
#h doodles#character design tag#oc#elmud#neiri#ITS 1AM WHSDGHSD IM SO TIRED BUT I STILL WANNA DRAW THEM#their lore is rather Confused atm but like all i got is uhh#neiri was cursed to be trapped in the Dream Realm (tm) and every time they appear in someone's dream they are promptly forgotten#if they can be like. remembered. their curse will be broken and they'll be freed back into the living world!! yippee!!#they think being fun/interesting makes em memorable so they have this >:3 facade when meeting new dreamers#doesnt work obv; neiri is secretly extremely lonely </3 creep behavior but they make sock dolls of their dreamer friends#and keep them in a knapsack that neiri always carries around#ENTER ELMUD. a knight who gets exploded in battle and is in a coma for probably idk more than 10 days and neiri meets him in his dreams#they bond and neiri tells him about their curse and elmud promises to remember them asking neiri to keep visiting in dreams till he does#a year straight of dreams later neiri (heartbroken) gives up; elmud begins to realize he isn't dreaming anymore and is like hm! didnt i#used to dream a lot? idk what they were about anymore tho (which is the first step to remembering neiri)#eventually elmud comes across some forget me nots growing by a remote stream and is like GASP???? NEIRI#and neiri's curse is broken!! and elmud finds em at the stream's endpoint and they hug and cry and hug and hug and hu#elmud then takes neiri back to his home kingdom and neiri becomes the royal mage's apprentice and they and elmud obv develop feelings#for each other but they are both way too shy to say anything#homies who kiss :') there was like an original plotline where elmud is actually a magic user bc he can perform floromancy (a la maude)#and seeks out a mage (neiri?) for guidance abt his powers and gifts em flowers he creates :') might be an au who knows#im not entirely satisfied bc i havent gotten to draw their full outfits yet BUT its late and tomorrow will be busy </3#VERY RARE INSTANCE of me drawing faces abt the same size. once in a lifetime#fun fact neiri was cursed by the royal mage of many centuries ago which they discover in ancient texts in the royal library#neiri was 17 and lived in like an eternal time loop so they didnt age </3 or really mature tbh they never visited anyone older than like 20#so. ZERO wisdom gained SDFHHSDF#also neiri is afraid of falling asleep. and also elmud is afraid of waking up#every day theyre like oh thank god my boy bestie is still here#okay. wel. good NIGHT GOOD NIGHT
