"Oh, yes, the Blooming Grove is lovely. The weather here might not always be the brightest, but whenever I go in there it's like it's always springtime. Thalia may be a part of why that is. Maybe." --Overheard in Burkhardt

"Good day. How may I help you?" Thalia smiles as soon as she sees you.

[ Bio Data ]
Her voice is soft and reminds you of a gentle breeze.

"My name is Thalia Evenfall. I run the Blooming Grove."

She pauses and flusters as she realizes that her introduction was too short.

"I'm sorry. I'm not a very interesting person." She stutters. "I'm just a humble florist."

"ᵢ₋ᵢᵣₐₛₛₕₐᵢₘₐₛₑ! ʷ⁻*ᶜᵒᵘᵍʰˢ* Welcome to Flock This Way!"

Entering the establishment, it looks very much like a traditional Japanese restaurant. Sleek, wooden designs encased in the finest tatami, weathered over time contrast against the smell of burgers on the grill.

You find that despite the restaurant's Japanese-style roots, the change in management brought with it a new wave of Western fast food onto Flock This Way's menu.

Kyle Wakaru Jones, the neighborhood big brother, greets you at your table.

"Have you ever seen his art? The foundling boy. Can't understand him. Almost never see him, but he's real right? Must be. Everyone acts like he is? Or are you all just spinning a yarn with that one?" -- Overheard in Burkhardt

Gifted with an eye for the arts and a hand for creating compelling pieces of work, Echo has a talent that is incomparable to anyone in the Isle. However, his reclusive and anxious nature makes it hard for him to function normally as a member of society.

Echo was said to have been found in the waters when he was barely a few days old and though he claims to have no recollections of his childhood, he knows that his parents must have abandoned him. He doesn’t bother knowing about them either nor does he pay any attention to the people who raised him.

Being a strange child ever since he was small, the people who tried raising him would claim that he was a quiet child and rather than socialize and play, he would stay indoors and paint. He has been so since he grew up, but such habits and lifestyle have turned for the worst. With his refusal to set out of his home found near the lighthouse, he didn’t go to school.

It is rare to even see him set foot outside his home and it is especially worrying because he has a disregard for his own health. Echo barely eats, but he drinks alcohol heavily and takes a pack of ci******es as his meal. The only time he ever eats is when he’s about to paint… Or when his mysterious benefactor compels him to.

The so-called ‘benefactor’ however, people have never seen. Some say they’re the one who sells Echo’s artwork all across the world, making him an enigmatic and highly sought after artist. With his captivating pieces, it’s what kept him alive for so long even when he never even tried to keep a job. He has a record of being fired a day after he just got hired.

How that happened, it’s his own story to tell.

Echo’s gaunt and harrowing appearance makes it hard for others to approach him as well as that empty stare he likes to give.

However, those who got a chance to speak with him would surely know 3 things. One: he likes older men. Two: he would claim that his scars aren’t dealt by him and he wouldn’t say anything else. And three: he is constantly looking for models.

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

ᴘɪᴄᴋ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴏɪꜱᴏɴ:
⸸ If you know anyone who has 'raised' him, why not? His childhood is a mystery. He claims not to remember lots about it. Hence, the mystery if he really is 29 years old.
⸸ Are you familiar with his paintings and artworks? It's unsettling at best. Not many in the Island like looking at them, though.
⸸ Know someone who could be his model? Wonderful. Let's see how it goes. You will be specially considered.
⸸ Ah, right. He doesn't really like doctors. Rather, he believes he's fine and doesn't need to see them. You can ask why.
⸸ If you don't mind, you could have shared a bed... Or two. All up to you.
⸸ Though, keep in mind... He prefers older men. If you're younger than him, he would most likely not be too keen on speaking with you.

ʜɪɢʜʟʏ ꜱᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟ ᴄᴏɴꜱɪᴅᴇʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱ (Subject to only 1 or 2 people):
✢ Would you happen to know a 'Mr. Gray?' It's the name of his benefactor and that's the only name he knows about him.
✢ If you're willing to be a model, there are certain aspects about it that you need to consider and you will be messaged about it.
✢ Do you want to know about the 'Hanging Tree?'

"He came back, y'know? The Goodfellow boy. Just right that he did, can't imagine his family was very happy about him goin'. What did they say happened? What did he do? Me? No, I don't want to ask, myself. Inviting trouble, that is." --Overheard in Burkhardt

✦ Born on a Wednesday in 1981, Zacharias spent his childhood in the Isle.
✦ His mother, Catherine Goodfellow, was a well-known socialite who loved to decorate everything with flowers. His absentee father, whom he was named after, was someone he had never known.
✦ He never had a close friend in childhood, and was often bullied by peers his age.
✦ He left for the mainland on his birthday in 1999 and went to an art school where his creativity flourished despite his declining health. He had one singular friend throughout his college years, but this friend ultimately left him. D̵o̵n̵'̵t̵ ̵a̵s̵k̵.̵
✦ His health worsened, and he began experiencing hallucinations and delusions. This began to show in his work, and he started to paint and draw eerie and unsettling subjects, one of which was his graduation piece, 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓. It ultimately drove his advisor mad, claiming that it pulsed and grew alive.
✦ After failing to keep a steady job, he returned to the Isle on February 2004.

✦ ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ ✦
✦ As a child, he was meek and subdued. He preferred blending into the background and not being spoken to, although if asked he would admit to being very lonely.
✦ As an adult, he is grumpy and blunt. He doesn't like wasting time and can be snappy. He is wary of strangers and anyone who is directly kind to him.

-One of the few constants in a place full of change. He knows the ins and outs of the town like the back of his hand. He knows everyone who is anyone, and some that are no ones.

-With a pleasant smile and a seemingly aloof, almost lackadaisical attitude, the lighthouse attendant and radio host journalist is a fixture in local society.

-He lives with a younger brother and their 'cat'.

-Common sense does not exist for him.

-Runs the local radio show.

-Has never been seen eating or drinking.

-A bit of an oddity as he has very little personal interaction with most of the town, instead he has everything delivered to his home.

-Rarely seen outside

“Little Felicia has sure grown to a fine young lady hasn’t she? Such a shame what happened to her. But have you read her latest? This place attracts quite the creative sort don’t it?” —Overheard in Burkhardt

Name: Felicia Sterling
Age: 25
Gender: Female (Transwoman)
Height: 5’2”
Occupation: Local Journalism

Born the beloved son of the widower Daniel Sterling and his late wife who sadly passed during childbirth, Felicia always wanted to be a star. With dreams of singing for adoring audiences and the support of her father, this farm girl had been planning to leave Grimmhearst Isle and seek out a new life; however, tragedy struck during her pursuit of this goal and she lost her voice, leaving her devastated and searching new purpose.

Now, she writes articles for a local publication, interviewing creative minds in the little community of Burkhardt to share the talents of her neighbors to make up for how she was unable to show off her own.

While mute, Felicia communicates through writing and hand gestures, and sometimes with the use of her cane. Upon first meetings, she often gives strangers a little prod with the iron tip of the walking stick, just in case. You can never be too careful, that’s what her father always told her.

Sweet and thoughtful, if not a bit naïve in her generally trusting nature, Felicia tries her best to make everyone’s day brighter and make the burdens of life a bit lighter.

Dr. Rebecca Winter is the town's resident dentist. She has been leading the Winter & Sons clinic for the last seven years ever since her father's retirement from practice.

① The Winters have been the island's resident dentists for as long as anyone can remember. The eldest male in the family has always been expected to be the one to continue the practice. For the first time ever, a woman has taken up the title.

② Rebecca's father, Maxim Winter, her grandfather Nigel Winter, and her great grandfather Ernest Winter are all notable dentists from the lineage who may have treated you or your family members if you are an old resident of the isle. The names of the previous doctors in the family have naturally been forgotten through time.

③ Rebecca's mother was a woman whom Maxim met and brought back from his short travels outside the island. She was Grimmhearst's Isle's longtime opthalmologist prior to her passing. You may have gotten prescription glasses from her, or know someone who has. No one can seem to remember her name.

④ Rebecca's parents perished from a mysterious illness just half a year ago. Many of the residents are being careful around Rebecca to allow her time and space to grieve, but the woman seems unperturbed by the loss. People chalk it off as the typical emotional detachment doctors often possess. You may have attended or heard of the funeral. It was closed casket.

⑤ Rebecca is known to be aloof and withdrawn, but as a medical physician who sees to the dental hygiene of nearly every townsperson, she's considered a friendly face. People have accepted her eccentrism.

① Rebecca is a hobby taxidermist. She learned the craft by herself through reading textbooks left behind by her great grandfather. She practices using a wide range of wild animals, but only works with ones she finds already dead.

② Rebecca takes Tuesdays off to walk through the forest and wilderness in search of dead animals to bring home and practice her taxidermy on. People assume she just stays at home to rest, as her office is open on weekends.

③ Rebecca's red eyes are the cause of minor albinism. They're sensitive to sunlight and require considerable amounts of upkeep to prevent them from deteriorating. Unbeknownst to others, her eyesight is slowly failing.

"A good lass as expected of the Goodfellows. Can't remember exactly when she popped in, but it felt like she's been here forever. If Miss Priscilla isn't careful, she'll take her place soon. Haha! Sorry, that was a bad joke..." -- Overheard at Burkhardt

The world is a big, mysterious, dangerous place but safety doesn't have to be complicated.

Respect the unknown.
Do as you are told.
And play by the rules.

Do these three things and you will have fortunes abundant for all your days.

Happiness is found in simplicity, in the blessings of nature and in the joy of humble existence. When you wake up in the morning and the mists have departed from the island say 'Thank you for my life.' Then wash your face in the sink, ignore the dark circles under your eyes, and prepare for the day's work with gusto enough for those lost in the night.

Temper your desires and know your place. Believe in the greater power that spins at the loom. Open yourself to receive His blessings, and be tolerant of His mischief for he is both being eternal and frolicking child. Remember these words:

𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝.
𝐄𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 ▯▯▯▯ 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥.
𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬, 𝐢𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬,
𝐀𝐧𝐝 ▯▯▯▯▯ 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬.

True devotion is a broken bone healed again and again; forgiveness but one tenet of the test. There can be no amends without humility.

Ignore the sound of foghorns in the distance and be cautious of all those who embrace the land of iron. Take only what you need from those hands, but keep your own open to be taken by those who seek.

Do not carelessly go searching beyond the sea for there lay many dangers beyond Him. Yet if you must go, then go bravely, and vow that you will return. Carry a four-leaf clover to lead you back home.

faith, hope, love, and luck
faith, hope, love, and luck.
faith, hope, love, and luck.

But if you shall never return to shore, shrug off your coat for the will o' wisps will lead the way. You are a child of Goodfellow, and you will reside in the Isle forever more.

𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Name: Missy Goodfellow

Age: 22
Height: 5'4"
Role: Farmer/ Gardener/ May Queen Apprentice

Description:
Missy is believed to be a Whisked that returned to the Isle on the Leap Year of 2000. It is Goodfellow tradition to welcome and rehabilitate (if needed) the Whisked who are released.

The assumption is that she is a very old Goodfellow due to them being unable to identify her. She appears to be gifted in dealing with matters of the Other World. The current head of the Goodfellows, Priscilla keeps her as an assistant and apprentice. Missy has a green thumb but prefers to spend it growing flowers instead of crops.

Perky and congenial, the young woman with an endearing quirk of referring to herself in third person is a good neighbor with a knack for cooking and chores.

[[ 𝐓𝐈𝐄 𝐈𝐍 / 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐭 ]]

Name : Marie Francesca ‘Frankie’ Argyle
FC: Mahito from JJK ( genderbend )
Age: 18
Height: 5'10½"
Position: Bookstore / Library worker

Lifepaths: Scholar, Eccentric, Delinquent
Main Attribute: Will
Helpful Trait: Supportive
Depravity: Greedy

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 :
Frankie is a bubbly and cheerful lady with boundless energy that almost borders on being manic. She will try everything and anything and wants to have already done it yesterday. There is nothing she won’t do if it interests her enough all for the sake of being able to write about it later. This makes her a rather intense person to be around, and some find her constant cheer no matter the situation a little off putting.

𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲
Marie Fracesca Argyle got into a car accident at the tender age of 15. The accident killed both her parents, scarred her and caused her to lose sight in her right eye. She began writing horror stories as a way to cope and unexpectedly won an online competition through her writing. This launched her career into a budding horror writer. She took the nome de plume of ‘Frankie Argyle’ as a direct reference to Frankenstein’s monster, stating it was her way of “reclaiming her name and her body of scars” from the accident.

Despite her relatively short career and young age, she has dipped into several subgenres of horror from the religious and eldritch to realism and psychological. It is hard to pinpoint what niche she fits in because of her proliferative writing. Some of her stories have even been published, mostly short stories in anthologies. A number of these have been made into independent short films. Much of what she writes she posts on her blog. ‘FreakyFrankieArgyle’

Critics have noted that her stories have potential. While her writing is a little rough around the edges, she shows promise that she will only continue to improve in the future.

No matter the subgenre Frankie’s stories have a singular commonality between them where the worst monster is always human.

𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 ♡ :
She has just recently graduated highschool and has decided to take a break before pursuing college. After hearing about Grimmhearst Isle, and all the rumors that surrounded it, Frankie decided it was the perfect place to go to get more inspiration for her stories. Currently she has taken part time jobs in both the library and the bookstore.

Frankie displays her scars prominently, even proudly at times, and is very open to talking about her accident. She sometimes models her ‘outfit of the day’ on her myspace , with some brands even approaching her for her unorthodox looks.

⠀⠀“I must admit, that when he spoke I was amused. I might have laughed out loud. He spoke with an RP accent that sounded something out of a Bronte novel, or at least what I thought those people sounded like… But he wasn’t rude about it. He laughed with me, and then asked me what was wrong. I thought for sure he was a quack, he looked young, and seemed to be in a costume… but I was wrong. ”

⠀⠀”Terrible fellow. Worst bedside manner I’d ever encountered. I’m sure what he pulled was nothing but bullocks. It doesn’t matter that the red marks went away, it was probably just a rash in the first place… just that, nothing had worked for the past few years, and I was desperate. He was horrid. He criticized the way I prepared my food, called me an in**ed with that snooty tone! I’m only here to report to everyone that he’s likely a conman.”

⠀⠀“He was a big help here on the island few years back. Folks around here don’t really take to strangers well, but he was like one o’ our own in no time. He listened, too. Keen interest in every twitch and itch that people complained about, jottin’ down notes and brewing all manner of remedy. He could usually help when the serious doctors up at St. Mary’s couldn’t. Usually. Some things here are beyond all sense.”

Damien is a parasite. If you somehow pique his interest, he will latch onto you and follow you around, or drag you into one of his little escapades which almost always leads to a hike in the nearby woods.

Despite his congeniality, some adults seem to be... repulsed... by his presence. Strange... He just wants to play.

He doesn't have much of a fondness for leafy greens and succulent fruit. The texture of it alone is enough to make him vomit. Offer him some meat, however, and he will gladly clean your plate.

Damien commutes to school by riding in his Mum's 1936 Auburn Cabriolet. On his way home, he walks with his classmates towards the Town Hall where he is picked up by the same car. He likes to admire the rolling misty hills along the way, and he doesn't ever forget to greet his neighbors.

⠀⠀⠀Johnathan Roy is a retired film director, producer, and screenwriter. Despite his short-lived career, he is widely regarded as one of the prodigies of recent film history. Roy's body of work explores themes such as lines between fantasy and reality, performativity, and the malleability of memory.

⠀⠀⠀The most notable part of his personal history is regarding his short-lived marriage with Sylvia Brennan. Sylvia divorced her ex-husband to marry John and after three years and three films, she filed for divorce. Since the divorce, John decided to retire and move to the Grimmhearst Isles.

𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬:

⠀⠀⠀John remains humble, often making fun of his reputation or downplaying his success. Even though he claims to be retired, he continues to write. He is a known workaholic, often consumed by the arts, obsessed by it, molded by it. This has led to his general reclusive nature within the Isles.

⠀⠀⠀During interviews he often says that "Art is about people". While he made several popular films, each film has has a deep sense of humanity. While he has a natural curiosity towards everything, if it doesn't say anything about the human condition, if it doesn't challenge comfort zones, John tends get bored very easily.
