I didn't tell her why I was asking, of course.....

SO LATER...

I did find a cool re-illustrated version on deviantart but I want to reread it with shel silverstein's drawings

in the meantime I will talk more about what I'm thinking about for this persona because I'm bad at keeping my thoughts to myself

I could probably feasibly play her as a tree, bbbut it would probably be easier to give her some kind of humanoid or at least semi-mobile form while having her main body be either somewhere in the realm or

in her pocket realm

though with her story I don't want her to be too mobile, so it would be kind of cool if her tree was somewhere in the realm and she couldn't usually stray too far from it

except for games and such...

her domain would be unconditional love/selflessness

in her story it only ever tells of her love of this one boy, but for this I'm pretty much expanding that to pretty much anyone willing to spend time with her

her domain is more platonic love than anything

every time the little boy came back she was always happy and essentially wanted him to spend time with her and be happy, but just knowing that she could help him to be happy in some way made her happy

...except for when he wanted a boat to go far away (leaving her behind), and that didn't really make her happy.

SHE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO BE ALONE but. sort of in the way a dog doesn't want to be alone. in that once she's not alone anymore, she's just giddy about it and completely forgets about having been alone

...lmfao I just had a thought of like.

What if she did run a "trauma" game except it was just. Her story, and you were asked to give up parts of yourself BUT YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO so it's like

not actually trauma because no one does it

and she's just like ???? why didn't anyone give anything away tho

running games with her could be fun though because I could do light give-people-things or have-fun-in-trees games without trying to figure out how to run super mathy games or whatnot

her over-generous nature could be something difficult to deal with in the long run though if I want to keep playing her and not have her, like... die....

but that would really have to depend on the heroes/knights helping her and ideally helping her to shift out of her story enough to sustain herself or at least accept assistance

I need to do more reading and stuff on how personae work before getting too caught up in this though
