Sweetheart Antlephore
The flowers in Valea's field never seem to die. When one cluster surrenders to the demands of the seasons, another springs forth from the lush grass to give the ground the illusion of complete cover, even in the winter months. Valea knows what plants will tolerate shade and which ones need water from the nearby stream on a daily basis. She carries large leaves filled with water and places aromatic herb bundles that frighten away destructive insects.
Weeds are stopped by her appetite. The worst garden intruders make the tastiest snacks, so that Valea benefits as much as the land she loves every time she gathers greens for dinner.
Birds are encouraged to settle in the nearby forest with birdhouses she builds by hand. Her feathered friends get a cozy space to settle in each night and she keeps her freshly sown seed from being gobbled before it can take root. It is an arrangement that has gained her many friends among the winged minions of Subeta.
Her adoration for the growing world started at a young age. Her grandmother was known as Green Hooves and she is rather famous for inventing a sunflower species that can grow on the cliffs of Darkside. Valea learned to weed, water and feed even the most finicky plants when she had just barely mastered the use of her legs. Her first job was at Seedlings and she quickly moved from a mere fertilizer spreader to a topiary tender entrusted with the hedges of Subeta's rich and famous. It was from the proceeds of the job she loved that she purchased a little bare lot of land on the edge of the forest in Veta Lake, a plot that she vowed would never feel the bite of the bulldozer's blade.
She will never require a fancy loft in Centropolis. Her kitchen is a line of sunbaked boulders that allow her to make thistle pie and dandelion soup. Her bed is a soft square of moss tucked away beneath a willow canopy. She goes to sleep to the gentle chirp of crickets and wakes every morning to hear the doves greet the dawn.
Hers is a paradise shaped by nature and made perfect through her own hard work. Valea's Field is a priceless place that not even Calvin Blackmoon's corporation can hope to acquire, a timeless tribute to the natural world in its ever-changing glory.
