Story - summarized
Nikki gets invited by Lolory to join the December Troupe as a volunteer! She has always been impressed with their plays and costume designs, so she is thrilled to join them.
She meets the eccentric owner of the troupe, and while he would love for her to join right away, she has to prove her skill by designing the costume for the lead character, Princess Jenny. He assures her that she will do well.
Wanting to impress the troupe, Nikki reads through the script and goes through several iterations before arriving at the final design. The next day, she presents her idea to the owner, while also acting out part of the script for a visual. He is impressed - so impressed, that he makes her the lead actor.
This is unexpected, and Nikki puts too much pressure on herself to be just as good as the others. But she has trouble getting into character since her main prop and story character buddy is a plush lamb toy. Momo offers to help by taking the toy’s place. She has an easier time playing the adventurous princess who cares about her pet lamb.
The night of the performance arrives, and Nikki is nervous yet feels ready. The play starts with Princess Jenny and her beloved lamb playing together. They encounter a candy witch, who turns the lamb into a toy. Distraught, Jenny pleads with the witch. The only way to change the witch’s mind is by bringing her three ingredients: spring water from the west, honey from the east, and a midnight rose from the north.
Princess Jenny sets off immediately and obtains the water and honey. But the rose is in a dark garden in the north, surrounded by dark, gloomy clouds that give the appearance of night. But she is determined to save her lamb whatever it takes, so she plunges in and grabs the rose.
A dark fog appears, staining her costume black. Nevertheless, she remains brave and strong as she returns to the witch with the three ingredients. The candy witch uses them to make a special candy. She says that Jenny must choose which candy is truly the witch’s.
Jenny sees through the ruse and declares, “No matter which candy I pick, you’ll still give me back my lamb!” The witch is flustered and fuming at being found out. Still, she returns the lamb to normal. But the witch isn’t done yet.
The performance ends, and everyone is impressed. Reviews pour in on Moments praising the story and the troupe, and even some applaud Nikki’s costume and efforts. She feels accomplished and proud, and she promises to do better for the next show.
Connections
-Nikki seems to like plush lamb toys a lot, since this is the second time she’s had one in a Reflection, the other time being Dream-Weaving Lamb.
-All the December Troupe plays are interconnected, and Yexiao plays the candy witch. You’ll see more of her Reflection later this year.
-The dress for Flower and Jenny features a bodice that looks like a bra outside of a top. Nikki first experiments with this kind of style in Warming Match.
-Nikki has been in a play before, and she had trouble then getting into character. Momo had to help her in Green Pastoral to cry on demand.
Fun Facts
-Nikki says in the Ark that while she is a huge fan of the troupe, she was never lucky enough to get a ticket to see a performance in person.
-There is a typo in the Index section of the Reflection info: Jenny’s name is spelled “Jean” in the item descriptions for the suit.
