you. ❤️. for the evil bug woman.
❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?
(for this ask meme)
Well, uhh, we've already answered this! We can easily pull up another one, though. Marigold's got no shortage of them. Since the last one was fairly job-focused, maybe...
The emergence day of her cousin was a notable bright spot in her life. Though Marigold's quite dedicated to her job, she still tries to keep enough tabs on family to keep in connection, and Hawk's the sort of workaholic who's prone to too much work with no vacation days. It was a surprise to learn he'd managed to net a partner, let alone a spouse - and one in her area, at that.
The time from eggs being laid to the first emergence of a bug is quite a stressful period, and though Marigold herself wasn't allowed to check in on the caterpillars, she was around for when the grubs split their cocoons - and when all was said and done, though one moth is an unusually small number to result from a clutch, she was still given the privilege of helping watch the newly-emerged moth for about a month after he split the cocoon.
Todd was an incredibly cute wriggler, and as far as Marigold's concerned, he hasn't lost any of the cute factor since. She is, admittedly, a bit disappointed that she can't check in on her baby cousin as much, but her work can be quite dangerous - she doesn't resent Muze for being cautious with her only child. From what she knows, the family tends to have some issues with wrigglers surviving to adulthood - a genetic condition, from what she's been told. She's content simply making sure he doesn't jump off a cliff when she's set to the task, for now.
