we lost a huge culture war when everyday people started describing works of art as "intellectual property" and "content"

I would have so many superpowers if I could get a living wage off doing my personal projects. That dungeon crawler framework can't make itself when I'm too soul-drained from work

Lidelle Guide

Thanks to a couple polls I ran on a couple discord servers, I got the next few characters selected for summarizing.

...unfortunately, the first place character is one I don't have a firm grasp on yet. So while a significant chunk of it is written, I don't think it's complete yet. So here's Lidelle!

Lidelle's 20th theme's title refers to her as an earnest dreamer, and that's a really good two-word summary for her.

She loves making those around her happy, no matter who or what they are.

Lidelle has been described as a "demihuman," but it's not completely clear if the term was used categorically (ie, her kind is one of many races that can be described as "demihuman") or specifically (as in, her race is the demihuman race).

Not helping is that the Japanese term used for "demihuman" can also mean "halfling."

(That said, Lidelle is taller than Feli, for whatever that's worth)

Lidelle lives with her adopted parents, an elderly human couple that live in Primp.

Lidelle may or may not have unusual hands and/or feet, since we've never seen them partially or fully uncovered. Personally, I think she at least has clawed fingers.

She refers to Draco and Satan as "big sister" and "big brother" because of the common ground of horns (and possibly green hair, but that's never commented on), and her admiration for their confidence to not hide what they are.

Thanks to them, she's become more comfortable with who she is (before then, she occasionally expressed a desire to be rid of her horns).

She still feels like she has to hide herself, as a result of fear and anxiety that come from being bullied by human kids in the past.

She also gets very anxious when made the center of attention or when standing out.

Lidelle is very tenderhearted. The idea of being intentionally mean to somebody distresses her. Being accidentally mean makes her feel guilty.

Lidelle is able to communicate with plants and most animals. Apparently every tree has a unique voice.

Because of this ability, combined with her kindness, Lidelle is a skilled caretaker. She goes out of her way to give those living in Nahe Forest her support.

One animal she can't understand (at least on the same level as others) is Carbuncle. As with everyone else, she needs Arle to accurately interpret.

Lidelle has solid spatial awareness and a strong sense of direction.

Going hand-in-hand with this is an uncanny knack at finding lost items and objects of interest solely on intuition.

Said intuition also enables her to reliably predict the weather.

She doesn't seem to mention the above three points to others very often.

It's likely that since she can't explain how she does these things, she doesn't think others will find her insight reliable.

Lidelle admires flowers that can bloom even in the harshest conditions. She wants to be like that, too.

Naturally, she doesn't realize how strong and resilient she really is.

Lidelle hates seeing her friends fight each other.

She's delighted to have anything in common with her friends, including matching outfits, should the occasion come up.

While not confident, she will not hesitate to help someone or something in need, especially if asked.

In fact, she'll be thrilled (in her shy quiet way) that someone believes her capable enough to ask in the first place.

Lidelle's vibes promote feelings of warmth and fuzziness (according to Amitie)

A young man is prescribed a new kind of medication, meant to help with ADHD and memory problems, in the form of medical patches. They work extremely well, but after some weeks, he notices that the patches seem to have strange physical side effects. His build gets smaller and more delicate, while his skin becomes cold, stiff, and metallic.

Despite this, he continues to use the patches; he feels great physically, and her mental health is improving beyond just helping with the aforementioned issues. She feels more confident, more at ease with herself. She has better memory, processing, management, reliability-- and her sense of self-diagnosis has improved enough that she knows what's happening to her, and she has no reason to turn back.

One morning after several months of treatment, the robot girl's system powers on. She opens her eyes. A message appears in her event log after she POSTs:

"Patch successfully applied. Update complete."

Nothing like applying to jobs to make you realize how much of the economy is structured around making sure only the “right” people get money
