Description The Healer of BrumeColony! She's based on one of my cats. Also, I decided to start capitalising both the prefix and suffix, because I think it looks better. I won't fix any previous art or titles of pieces, though.

LilyLeaf wears lily of the valley (which, I know is toxic to cats, but from what I've researched, touching it isn't dangerous in and by itself, just ingesting it, so she'd just have to be very careful to not get any of it in her food, and if she picks it up, she can't do it with her mouth.)


The reason why she wears this potentially fatal plant is due to her colony's myths: lily of the valley is seen as a holy flower for healers and speakers despite its toxicity, because there's an ancient myth about a great war between colonies. After the fighting ended, Lighttrail flew down and took the fallen cats' spirits with her. Wherever her white paws stepped, lilies of the valley bloomed. The spilled blood, bitterness and vengefulness of the spirits seeped into the earth itself and cursed the pure flower, making it poisonous. For BrumeColony, it's a reminder to always negotiate for peace and prevent war, whenever possible. This fits in well with the healers whose job it is to heal anyone indiscriminately and the speakers, who often have to negotiate for peace between the colony and outsiders.
