| |
| − | Floriettes are feline "spirits" or "fairies" with large bunny-like ears. They can be either quadruped or biped and can come in all shapes and sizes.

| − | == Soul Trees ==
| |
| − | Floriette lifespans depend entirely on the well-being of their soul trees. Soul trees are embedded with high concentrations of [[Ensha (Floriettes)|ensha]], which provide magical power to Floriettes. Every soul tree displays visible ensha veins; however, only creatures blessed with magic are able to see these veins. To normal humans, soul trees look like natural flora.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Soul trees are normally planted in safe, well-hidden or guarded places. Floriettes are very secretive about the locations of their soul trees. They only share these locations with their family and most trusted companions. The knowledge of the location of one's soul tree could be extremely dangerous if fallen into the wrong hands. Soul trees can be destroyed when a being of equal or greater magical power; however, the destruction of soul trees is very rare because the same amount of ensha destroyed from a soul tree is also taken from the Floriette who performs the act. '''(Does that make sense? Equal trade-off kind of thing. You hurt someone else = you hurt yourself.)''' In addition, the more a Floriette destroys another's tree, the cloudier their ensha becomes (and thus, the weaker they become).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Every time a Floriette uses magic, it consumes a bit of the ensha stored in their Soul Tree. Floriettes who deplete their ensha reserves will fall into a coma-like state. When this happens, their companions only have a certain amount of time to replenish or "donate" their ensha to revive their friend. As a safety guard against this risk, Floriettes will keep "reserves" of their ensha, bottled and stored in a very safe place - just in case.

| − | == Ensha and Clarity ==
| |
| − | Floriettes are born with a natural affinity to specific types of ensha. There are eight main types of ensha, all of which correspond to different elements:
| |
| − | # Fire/Red | |
| − | # Wood/Orange
| |
| − | # Lightning/Yellow
| |
| − | # Wind/Green
| |
| − | # Ice/Cyan
| |
| − | # Water/Blue
| |
| − | # Stone/Purple
| |
| − | # Crystal/Magenta
| |
| − | The magical potential of Floriettes depends on the clarity of their ensha. Floriettes with little-to-no magical potential have "cloudy" or "muddy" ensha, which is represented by the color grey. While it is not impossible to master their element, Floriettes with grey ensha have to work harder to increase the clarity of their ensha. Floriettes with high clarity (saturation) ensha have high potential in their element and can easily master their craft with a bit of honing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mastering ensha is a lifelong process that all Floriettes work towards. Each type of ensha offers a different specialty or "trade" that the Floriettes can use to contribute to society. From an early age, Floriettes are taught by their families to master their tools of trade. Floriettes inherit their natural affinities from their parents. They experience faster growth when honing these innate affinities.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is not unheard of for Floriettes to branch out and attempt to master other types of ensha instead. Sometimes, a Floriette will choose to master a new type of ensha after they mastered their innate ones. Other times, they may choose to pursue different types of ensha altogether and ignore their innate affinities. It takes Floriettes twice as long to master an element they have no affinity to versus an element they do have an affinity towards.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is heavily looked down upon and dangerous for Floriettes to attempt to master multiple types of ensha at once. Soul trees reflect the ensha that Floriettes have mastered or have affinities to. It takes the mastery of an element to maintain a stable "color" in the soul tree. Until the ensha is mastered, Floriettes have almost no control over how the soul tree handles ensha. Mixing different types of ensha can lead to multiple results, including but not limited to: stasis, conversion, and corruption.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Society and Hierarchy ==
| |
| − | Several factors build up the hierarchy of Floriette society which are defined mostly by a Floriette's soul tree and ensha. While most Floriettes spend their lives mastering one type of ensha, there are many other Floriettes who have mastered multiple. Floriettes are given titles and are ranked by their level of mastery.
| |
| − | * The lowest ranking Floriettes have grey-type ensha. They have no strong ensha affinities and do not have any masteries. They do not carry any titles.
| |
| − | * Floriettes who have high affinities to at least one type of ensha but have not mastered a type have the title, ''Isha''.
| |
| − | After Floriettes have mastered a type of affinity, their titles become:
| |
| − | * ''Hoka'' for 1-3 masteries
| |
| − | ** ''Hoka-Ra'' is the title given to Floriettes who are mastering their fourth ensha
| |
| − | * ''Rasha'' for 4-6 masteries
| |
| − | ** ''Rasha-Sen'' is the title given to Floriettes who are mastering their seventh ensha
| |
| − | * ''Senka'' for 7 masteries
| |
| − | ** ''Senka-Om'' is the title given to Floriettes who are mastering their eighth ensha
| |
| − | * ''Omni'' for 8 masteries
| |
| − | In addition, the title ''Omni-Kai'' exists as an extension of ''Omni'' for Floriettes who have walked among the stars and been blessed by the gods. They are immortal.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Lifespan and Breeding ==
| |
| − | Floriettes are born when two parents make their pilgrimage to the [[Fountain of Life]] at the base of the [[Great Tree]]. There, they must pluck a [[Spirit Lotus|spirit lotus]], fill its seed head with their combined ensha, and place it back in the water to incubate. During the first night, the spirit lotus closes its petals and begins the incubation process. Incubation takes 3-5 nights to complete, and most parents stay for that long to guard their lotus from potential thieves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After the lotus is done incubating, it will bloom again on the last night to reveal a baby Floriette hugging a small seed, surrounded by crystallized ensha. After the baby is "born", the parents will return to their home and make a "milk" paste using the petals of the spirit lotus and ensha crystals. This ensha-infused milk is fed to the baby to help it grow.
