  🔹 Leaves must be depicted in reds, oranges, and yellowish tones.

•  Winter Blooms:

  🔹 Special Wintery blooms blossom across your crederian. Pointsettias, Crocus, Holly, Witch Hazel, and Winterberry sprigs are included in this selection.

  🔹 Blooms may be magic'd away at will, leaving an imprint or depiction of them on your crederian's coat. 
  
  ❗ Flowers may be large or small and may be depicted condensed or spread out.

The flowers are temporary, but for the lucky few, the blooms will come home with you, twirling and dancing eternally in a show of spring even after the season has long since passed.

•  Sakura Shed:

• Trait:  

  🔹 A group of summer fireflies trail around you (up to 10)
  🔹 Fireflies emanate motes of light that float and softly flicker until the light dissapates. These motes gently attempt to follow the Crederian, but are very slow and are often left behind until they dissapate
  🔹 The fireflies and their motes appear strongest at night and in the shade. 
  🔹 While moving, the motes of light do not appear frequently, appearing in more numbers once the Crederian is standing still.
  🔹 Fireflies can appear in a variety of yellows, yellow-oranges, and yellow-greens, most often appearing as a strong golden yellow color.
  
  ❗ The trait may be depicted mostly as floating balls of light, but there should always be at least one firefly visible.
  ❗ The balls of light are always perfectly circular and cannot shift or move to appear like ovals or other shapes. 

Crederian Firefly (Summer)

The humble firefly only gives off light when their bulbs are charged, taking in the energy from the sun and storing it like a battery. During flight, they tuck their limbs into their bodies, giving their wings unimpeded space to flit about. These creatures are surprisingly difficult to find, with most often coming across their residual light motes instead of the firefly itself.

• Trait:  

  🔹 A group of winter fireflies trail around you (up to 10)
  🔹 Fireflies emanate motes of light that float and softly flicker until the light dissapates. These motes gently attempt to follow the Crederian, but are very slow and are often left behind until they dissapate
  🔹 The fireflies and their motes appear strongly at night and in the shade. Winter fireflies shine brightest in debilitating snowy weather, shining like ruby beacons. 
  🔹 While moving, the motes of light do not appear frequently, appearing in more numbers once the Crederian is standing still.
  🔹 Fireflies can appear in a variety of pale blues, whites,  dull pale browns, and greys and have a light capable of ranging from various pinks, reds, and orange hues.
  
  ❗ The trait may be depicted mostly as floating balls of light, but there should always be at least one firefly visible.
  ❗ The balls of light are always perfectly circular and cannot shift or move to appear like ovals or other shapes. 

Crederian Firefly (Winter)

The humble firefly has taken on a hardier form, able to absorb energy from the sun much more efficiently than their summer counterparts. Their lights charge quickly and give off a piercing light able to be seen even during snowstorms. During flight, they tuck their limbs into their bodies, giving their wings unimpeded space to flit about. These creatures are extremely difficult to find, with soft motes of residual light sometimes able to be found. As companions, these fireflies may shine too bright for some, and if asked can tone it down and fall into "reserve-light" mode. 

Noel's arrival has influenced the land and its inhabitants in a magical way. Dormant magical creatures hear the jingling call and manifest in our realm, delighted with the sights and smells of the winter landscape. These sprites are attracted to Noel, clinging to their fur or attaching their string to Noel's antlers and going along for the ride. Some get so distracted or attracted by the space that they attach themselves to a random Crederian instead, forming a bond to communicate with their temporary companion. As they experience the delights of winter these sprites are quick to solidify that bond with the Crederian who allowed them to see these wonderous sights!

•  Trait:

  🔹 A group of Bright Light Sprites trail around you, holding a magical string. (30 or so sprites would be a soft limit)
  🔹 The sprites have a crest on their foreheads that concentrate their magical light. They are able to control this light and can "blink" on and off on command.
  🔹 The sprites can come in all manner of vibrant/pastel colors similar to festive string lights with a general limit of 1 - 5 colors. 
  🔹The string is composed of pure magic, usually appearing in vibrant blues, greens, browns, or reds. This "string" emanates a glow that shares its color. 

  ❗ The trait may be depicted as floating balls of light along the string. The example below also shows a simplified version if you would like to retain the sprite's crest shapes.
  ❗ The balls of light are always perfectly circular and cannot shift or move to appear like ovals or other shapes if drawn without the crest.
  ❗ The sprites may not be depicted as white, off-white, grey, or any dark/muted hues.
  ❗ The string may not be depicted with pastels and has similar limitations to the sprites otherwise.

Examples

bright light sprites

A series of little orb-shaped creatures that float around holding onto a string of pure magic. While in our realm, the string is often attached at one end to a creature in order to stay attached and not be affected by potential winds. They form a garland of "lights" as their magical crests blink on and glow with a bright light. These sprites converse by blinking their lights at one another. Creatures who aren't bonded to them can only hear a twinkling sound coming from their mouths. 

The sprites function as a singular unit, almost seeming to be the same creature until some show differing bits of personality. They are bonded to a singular group, forming a link within their minds that allow them to flow in perfect sync and share aspects of themselves with one another.
