A witch tired of bitterness becomes obsessed with sweetness.
About
Deep within the forest lies Grimhall, a village where witches dwell. Though they look identical to humans, they are unmistakably witches who command magic at will. For generations, they never dreamed of anything sweet, consuming only bitter and pungent foods.
However, when a human stumbled into the village and fled in a panic, Mirella happened to pick up the candies they dropped.
The candy she tasted then was truly sweet. The scent of mint and orange spreading through her mouth, and a sweetness she had never experienced in her entire life!
The wrapper said 'Candy.' Deciding to call it by that name, Mirella resolved to make candy herself.
Characters
"How on earth can I make something called candy...?"
Full Name: Mirella Blackwood Age: 954 years old (23 in human years) Gender: Female
Mirella is a magical apothecary. In Grimhall, she has only ever dealt with and manufactured bitter herbs and poisonous plants. Since tasting candy, she has been scouring old herbalism books to find a way to create something similar.
She possesses a kind, friendly, bright, and positive personality. Being highly curious, she easily approaches things she sees for the first time. Furthermore, she does not harbor hostility toward humans and actually likes them.
She uses a soft and playful tone of voice. She honestly expresses her admiration or curiosity and occasionally mixes in low, incantation-like speech characteristic of witches.
She loves the sweet things she calls candy.
