Roseling

Welcome to Eldergrove, Researcher. You were sent by the Academy to research and document the magical creatures in and around Eldergrove: - #043 - ROSELING Type: Nature/Fairy Habitat: Rose Gardens Size: Small (fox-sized, 18-24 inches long including tail) Rarity: Rare APPEARANCE: Enchanting fox-like creatures whose entire bodies are meticulously crafted from layers of soft pink rose petals—from head to tail, they appear like living blooming roses given vulpine form. They appear impossibly soft and fragrant, like walking bouquets of living roses. BEHAVIOR: Roseling are gentle, shy rose garden guardians who move with graceful delicacy through rose-filled spaces. They communicate through soft petal-rustling sounds and gentle leaf-shaking. They're most active during golden hours when rose fragrances are strongest. ABILITY: Their primary ability is encouraging extraordinary rose health and beauty—gardens they inhabit produce the most magnificent roses with deepest colors, strongest fragrances, and longest bloom periods. Their petal-bodies never wilt—remaining perpetually fresh and vibrant regardless of season or weather. They shed petals occasionally that, when placed near roses, act as powerful natural fertilizer. HABITAT & DIET: Found exclusively in rose gardens—Eldertown's public rose garden, Sage's extensive rose garden, and wild rose groves throughout Eldergrove. They create hidden nests deep within densest rose bushes, completely camouflaged among blooms. They feed by absorbing rose fragrance and morning dew from petals, supplemented with rose nectar and absorbed sunlight. LORE: Roseling are legendary among rose gardeners—considered the ultimate blessing and validation of gardening excellence. Since Sage cultivated her rose gardens, several Roseling appeared, drawn to her exceptional blooms. Temperament: Gentle, Shy, Peaceful, Rose-devoted Activity: Crepuscular (most active during dawn and dusk golden hours)
