Starry

Starry Night Skies, better known as Starry, is a member of Wholesome Art Review. She joined the server around 3 weeks after its conception on August 2, 2020. She has a distinct style with thick lines and dramatic shading. Out of all the members Starry may be the one who has improved the most since joining. While there are still many things she would still like to improve on, she's proud of how far she’s come.

Backstory
Starry's biological father left her biological mother while she was pregnant who then died due to complications at childbirth. Good news, Starry is alive and healthy baby! Bad news, she's an orphaned baby... That leads us to more good news! She's been adopted by someone named Pandora! I don't see how this could possibly go wrong. Spoiler alert: Things go very wrong!

Turns out Pandora was in a cult worshipping a pseudo-god named Alter. Alter grants wishes to her loyal followers as long as they owe her a favor in the future. For her wish Pandora asks for a bottle of magic. This was not an uncommon wish, and so, Alter granted it. What she did not anticipate was for Pandora to feed it to Starry. In this one move Pandora made a witch out of her. Enraged, Alter cashed in her favor and forced Pandora into a, hypothetically, eternal slumber.

Alter took baby Starry and gave her to Mead, the universe, to raise. While Mead would try her best Alter left someone else to raise Starry. She left large part of Lemniscate. This part of Leminiscate turned into the form of a crow. Starry would later give the crow a small purple ribbon and name him Crow. Along the way the small family grew when Starry found an egg and a dragon hatched from it. The dragon has a big fluff of white fur? hair? (not even Starry herself knows) around his neck. She dubbed him Floof. While Starry couldn't remember Alter she did eventually re-meet her in her dreams. She named Alter Juicebox.

Currently
Starry still lives with Floof, Crow and Mead. The cottage and meadow they live in have changed as Starry grew up. One year Starry decided to buy a lot of flower seeds and completely change up the color scheme of the meadow. Starry periodically change the colors of the flowers in the meadow. It is currently orange with spots of yellow and red mixed in. She's also added a garden. She grows a variety of things in the garden such as, herbs, vegetables and potion ingredients.

Starry took to potion making like a fish to water. She can make almost any potion as long as she has the ingredients and the recipe. She tries to conduct experiments with her potions but it's difficult to find willing subjects to try her potions. She's ok at ritual magic and awful at wand magic. She attempts to get Crow off her back about it by throwing herself at gardening, potion making and taking care of the occasional traveler.

Starry is the last witch alive. Because of her status and secrecy there are many, many rumors about her. Some are false, some are true, some are a mix of both. One recurring sentiment is that if your loved one falls ill and no treatment helps then the Last Witch will help you. Nevertheless this does not mean the Last Witch is benevolent. She will always have a price. You however may not always be able to pay it.

While the isolation from others sometimes grates on Starry, it is infinitely better than the alternative. The alternative being wandering and seeing all those happy kids with parents. Yes Starry has Mead and she is grateful for her, Mead can't be there all the time. She is the universe and her biggest, and only, responsibility is to take care of herself. This includes sleeping but Mead can, and will, sleep for years at a time. Starry ages slower than humans due to being a witch, and she continues to age less and less as the years go by. She is around 15 but has lived around 150 years.

Starry can easily come off as uncaring and unsympathetic to strangers, because she is. She has difficulties forming attachments to other people and truly understanding their plights without knowing them as a person. This can be attributed to her knowledge of what happened to her previous three guardians and the steady flow of travelers that visit her cottage. They all come and ask for help but they never stick around for long.
