overgrown building boundary
Myrrh's boundary is in a remote forest in Europe. Their overgrown building used to be a library, where many aged books still lay in the ruins. They share this boundary with Apricity.

elemental
dust (enchanted by "hypnotic dust" enchantment)
Myrrh was created with this dust elemental. They said that they were covered in dust for so long as a book, they're not surprised it came with them when they turned into an esk.
Shortly after their transformation, Myrrh was able to manifest an enchantment that gave the dust a hypnotic quality. When it lands on others it makes them feel loose, relaxed and dreamy. Many esks enjoy the effect, but others say it's too disorienting, and don't appreciate it. It also causes the dust to glow.
Myrrh is very attached to their elemental, and if others say they don't like dust everywhere Myrrh interprets it as a personal affront. They're a little insecure.
Myrrh's small rabbit familiar, Bun, is also made of dust. She's a dust bunny!

enchantments
hypnotic dust - enchants the dust elemental
This enchants Myrrh's dust elemental so when it lands on others they feel loose and dreamy. Myrrh can turn it off and on at-will, and it makes the dust glow a little bit. Some esks enjoy it, while others find it too disorienting.
synesthesia
This makes others hear sounds when they see certain colors. It's vivid, and some esks feel a little overwhelmed by it, but others like it. The enchantment looks like sparkles surrounding Myrrh.
fanciful daydreams - enchants the moths
This enchants Myrrh's small swarm of moths. When the moths land on others they see fantastical daydreams and visions. The enchantment looks like a dark grey haze around the moths.
beetle knowledge - enchants the bell accessory
This enchantment brings magical properties to Myrrh's bell accessory. Anyone who hears the bell ring will know where all the beetles are within a 30 foot radius. The enchantment gives the bell a soft glow even while dormant

familiars
rabbit (dust elemental)
Myrrh's little rabbit is made out of dust from Myrrh's elemental. Her name is Bun, and she's a dust bunny!
white satin moths (enchanted)
These white moths have a dark haze around them from Myrrh's "fanciful daydreams" enchantment. The moths give others wild visions and daydreams when they land on them.

Myrrh is eccentric and sweet, but a little misunderstood. They love their dust, and think it's magical and fun. It annoys them that others consider it a nuisance. They use their enchantments to make others feel the same way that they feel all the time: dreamy and whimsical, with intense synesthesia.
They enjoy wrapping themselves up in fantastical daydreams, and doing activities that make them happy, such as digging for beetles, or stacking books in high columns. They're territorial over their boundary, and will either intentionally, or unintentionally scare others off. They can be kind of spooky and intimidating, especially in their smaller form. |
They spend most of their time with Yixian or alone, but they enjoy seeing their forest family, too. Yixian and Myrrh fully understand each other, and they love each other deeply. They help each other find ways to be happy, and they never get bored of each other.
Myrrh makes quick, snap decisions about whether or not to trust strangers. This can come across as very rude if Myrrh decides they don't like them, but they don't really care. Myrrh enjoys the Conservatory, and uses it as a place to create real versions of the magical scene they build in their mind.

Myrrh enjoys the Conservatory, and uses it as a place to create real versions of the magical scene they build in their mind.
Myrrh was transformed from an old, gilded story book lost and forgotten in an overgrown library. They have a hard time reading social queues, and when they met Aer and Yixian they decided that their name should either be Aer or Yixian too. They chose the name Myrrh eventually.
Myrrh was a little stressed when they discovered that their dust elemental isn't always super welcome. They love their dust, but quickly found that it can be unhelpful in certain situations. They also learned that many of the esks around them in their little family are incredible healers, and provide lots of benefits to the forest. |
This made Myrrh feel self conscious and guilty, because they like animals, but they didn't want to dedicate their life to healing. Instead, they decided they want to dig for beetles, and make up stories in their head. They discovered that Yixian felt the same way, and the two quickly became close friends and then fell in love.

Aer • Myrrh's creator, friend
Aer and Yixian were mesmerized by the storybook that Aer soon transformed into Myrrh. Neither of them could read, but they loved the pictures. It seemed unsurprising that as an esk, Myrrh still loves creating stories, and is just as magical. Aer doesn't always understand Myrrh, but she loves them and supports all their interests and hobbies. Yixian • Romantic partner Yixian and Myrrh instantly clicked. They bonded because they both felt different from the esks around them. Yixian loves all of Myrrh's unique enchantments, and enjoys the dust that always follows them. When they're not in Myrrh's boundary they spend their time slithering around the trees like snakes, and hanging upside down from branches. Winter • Friend Myrrh kind of gives Winter anxiety. She loves Myrrh, and sees them as part of her family, but Myrrh's disorienting enchantments can stress her out. She feels guilty for not allowing Myrrh into the little animal hospital in her cave boundary, but she has to maintain this rule so the dust doesn't make the animals sicker. Despite this, Winter tries her best to make Myrrh feel comfortable and accepted. Insari • Friend Insari has a higher tolerance to Myrrh's bewildering enchantments compared to her partner, Winter. Myrrh likes asking Insari lots of questions about the forest, and she is always willing to teach them. Insari enjoys the unique tangents their conversations take. |
Squeak • Friend
Squeak likes Myrrh's enchantments and thinks their effects are fun. Squeak will sit quietly in Myrrh's boundary while Myrrh works on their hobbies. The two can sit in silence comfortably and still enjoy each other's presence.
Apricity • Friend, they have a sibling-like rivalry and friendship
Apricity and Myrrh share a boundary, and deep down they love each other, but they bicker like siblings. They both think the other one is very odd. Apricity doesn't like Myrrh's dust, and similarly Myrrh doesn't like how bright Apricity makes the space. Myrrh would prefer a darker, moodier environment, and Apricity radiates light. Still though, they manage, and it helps that Apricity travels a lot. Myrrh even begins to miss her sometimes.
