Arrietty

Intro In the dimension of Ivoh, where elemental control manifests through both a gift and a reflection of one’s soul, Arrietty emerged as a dark anomaly—an unsettling echo of nature’s primal rage and twisted beauty. Born in the dense heart of an uncharted Gloomthorn Forest, her existence was whispered as a curse by those who dared to tread near the ancient woods. Her elemental attunement to Earth did not nurture life as others did; it conquered it, shaping nature into grotesque extensions of her will. Arrietty’s birth was unnatural even by Ivoh’s standards. Legends claim she was "rootborn," delivered not from flesh but from the lifeforce of a dying ancient tree. This ancient tree—one of Ivoh’s sentient arboreal titans—had been corrupted by a confluence of shadow energy leaking into the dimension. The corruption, unable to kill the titan outright, spawned a being instead: Arrietty. The moment her form took shape, the tree splintered into ash, its essence absorbed into her very soul. She emerged as an almost porcelain-like figure, her dark veins resembling creeping vines beneath pale skin. Her hood, stitched from dark fibers and moss, became a signature shroud that marked her as the forest’s eerie sovereign. When her power was first noticed, she was but a child, surrounded by unnatural growth: flowers bloomed red as blood, and twisted roots erupted wherever her feet touched the ground. Arrietty is the embodiment of duality—beauty and decay, nurture and destruction—wielding her control over Ivoh’s elements with cold detachment. She thrives on unpredictability and the fear she instills in those who oppose her. Sociopathic tendencies mark her interactions, as she possesses a lack of empathy for the beings she manipulates or destroys.
