I've been really busy with school, but I wanted to show that I'm still somewhat active here. So I've written out these preview introductions for my OCs. I did this on my OC Blog with other OCs so I thought it'd be good to do so with these two teams. I don't have visuals for all of them yet (only for about five of them), but I hope to have them sometime during Winter Break.

Feel free to ask questions about them!

Team SPAD (pronounced like Spade)

Sapphire Arvensis

Aura Color: Blue

Home Kingdom: Atlas (resides in Mistral)

Occupation: Student (2nd Year at Haven)

Semblance: Portal

Allusion: Alice (Alice in Wonderland)

"Huh, interesting. Oh, nothing. Just got lost in thought, no need to worry yourself over it. Ah, accusing me of spy are you? What a cheeky person you are! You honestly make me laugh at how you'd put that silly thought in your head."

Pepper Begonia

Aura Color: Grey

Home Kingdom: Mistral (Argus)

Occupation: Student (2nd Year at Haven)

Semblance: Copy

Allusion: The Little Match Girl

"Whenever I see people rely on their semblances, it makes me wonder so much. I cannot do that without assistance, which is unfortunate... But I wonder if others can't rely heavily on their semblance as well. Sounds dumb since we do have limits but... Huh."

Olivette Álfur

Aura Color: Green

Home Kingdom: Vale

Occupation: Student (2nd Year at Haven)

Semblance: Matter Molder

Allusion: Tinker Bell (Peter and Wendy/Peter Pan in Scarlet)

"Look here, bud. Accident or not, these dust packages and supplies are crucial to survival, so it'd be much appreciated if we're a little more careful. *sigh* I don't like taking this type of tone, but some people never get the message through asking please."

Dawn Persica

Aura Color: Peach

Home Kingdom: Vale

Occupation: Student (2nd Year at Haven)

Semblance: Dust Wielding

Allusion: Thumbelina

"Sorry for rambling on back there. I sometimes like to go off on a tangent when I start getting into conversation, you know? Still, it's a pleasure to meet you and that is why I'd like to talk more. Talking allows us to get to know each other better."

Team PWNC (pronounced like Punch)

Beau Primrose

Aura Color: White

Home Kingdom: Mistral (Former: Higabana, Current: Mistral City)

Occupation: Student (2nd Year at Haven)

Semblance: Detect

Allusion: Little Bo Peep

"Never thought I'd be the leader for this team. I'm mostly the follower type of guy but... This could serve as a learning process, or progression to regret..."

Quinton 'Quinn' Wisteria

Aura Color: Lilac

Home Kingdom: Atlas (Mantle)

Occupation: Student (2nd Year at Haven)

Semblance: Redirect

Allusion: The Nutcracker/Drosselmeyer

"Whoa there. You okay? Those grimm could have torn you apart, but it's all good. I'd suggest sticking together so we can work through this better, okay?"

Rowan Nucifera

Aura Color: Blood Red

Home Kingdom: Mistral (Windpath)

Occupation: Student (2nd Year at Haven)

Semblance: Perambulate

Allusion: The Gingerbread Man

"You want me to stop being so mean? Oh dear, you really don't understand that much, do you? You're basically telling me to stop speaking truths so you can continue on life blissfully unaware like the rest of these folk. Fine then."

Balgair Cross

Aura Color: Amber

Home Kingdom: Menagerie (resides in Mistral)

Occupation: Student (2nd Year at Haven)

Semblance: Fateful Decision

Allusion: Gon the Little Fox

"Do you ever wonder why we're here? No, I mean in general why are we even here. We could have just been back at the inn where it's far better than out in the rain..."

Visuals under the cut! (some designs are subject to change so they're all not final)

In order: Sapphire, Dawn, Olivette, Pepper, Quinn

Plant of the Day

Monday 25 March 2019

In the Victorian peach house of Gravetye Manor, Sussex, there are five cultivars of Prunus persica (peach) the first one to fruit is ‘Amsden June’, followed by ‘Red Haven’ in July, then ‘Francis’ and last ‘Peregrine’. The flowers of these trained fruit had recently been pollinated using the traditional rabbit’s tail. The peach house was designed to allow the fan trained trees to be planted to the front of the house, making them both convenient to work on and also allowing the rays of sunlight to reach to the base of the rear wall, so allowing full use to be made of the growing area. The lovely Lola, the gardener’s dog, was enjoying the fallen blossom and some admiration from me!

The Morley Square arboretum

Morley Square is the only privately owned square in Bishopston. The deeds of the 28 houses around the square, including ours, state that the house owners have the rights of access to the square and the responsibility for its maintenance. The square has its own Nature Blog

One of our main concerns are the trees, some impressively large, mapped here on BristolTrees. Although only covering half an acre, the square contains 29 species of tree, a minor arboretum.

Since it was developed in the early 1890s, the population of the square has undergone great changes. In the 1891 census there were 38 children under the age of 10. This number fell as the residents aged and by 1939 there was only a single child. Thanks to some recent arrivals, the square was once again busy in summer with parents and children, a haven in the lockdown.

Parrotia persica makes an excellent climbing frame

The childen have stimulated a renewed interest in the square as a nature reserve and I recently started a blog to write about our activities and observations.

One project has been to install, with the support of the Bristol Tree Forum, dendrometer bands on three of the trees - a white poplar, a sycamore and a yew. The blog explains how to take measurements so that families can create their own record of the growth of a tree. The vernier scale allows a precision of 0.01 cm diameter.

Sycamore trunk reading 48.47 cm diameter

Trees grow so slowly that it’s difficult to see them as increasing in size, by about a centimeter a year. Measurements every week should reveal this invisible progress. It surprised me to see that the deciduous trees were actually shrinking slightly but things will get more exciting in spring. By this time next year we should have the record of a full year of growth. I can hardly wait to see it!
