Hyacinth
Advisor of Flora Hyacinth
Hyacinth, the Advisor of Flora to the Court of Rampant Green, is a macabre yet eerily beautiful figure, a blend of the serene water nymph they once were and the invasive force that claimed their life. Their form is an unsettling union of death and life, with the invasive water hyacinth entwining their lifeless body, animating it with unnatural grace and purpose.
The nymph's body retains a fragile, ethereal beauty, though its once-lustrous skin is pallid and waterlogged, with faint green and violet hues creeping like veins beneath the surface. Around their neck, the tendrils of water hyacinth remain tightly coiled, a stark reminder of how the plant strangled both the life from their pool and their mortal form. These vines extend across their limbs and torso, winding through their figure like an intricate web, pulsing faintly as if the plant still feeds on what remains of their essence.
Their hair, once a cascade of flowing water, is now a tangled mass of dark green strands interwoven with vibrant purple blossoms of water hyacinth. These blooms are deceptively beautiful, exuding a sweet, almost cloying scent that masks the invasive, suffocating nature of the plant. When Hyacinth moves, the blossoms tremble gently, and the vines twist and stretch, giving their form an unsettling, living quality.
Hyacinth's face is delicate but frozen in a perpetual expression of serene melancholy, their eyes dull and glassy, reflecting the stillness of water overtaken by stagnation. Yet, there is a spark of alien intelligence within those eyes, a quiet but undeniable connection to the invasive plant that animates them. When they speak, their voice is soft, hollow, and echoing, as if filtered through the waters of their lost pool, carrying an unnatural calm that belies the creeping menace of their words.
As the Advisor of Flora, Hyacinth serves the Court of Rampant Green with a deep understanding of plants and their intricate relationships—particularly the invasive species that thrive and dominate. They advocate for the beauty and power of unchecked growth, drawing parallels between the slow strangulation of their pool and the relentless spread of life. They are a quiet but persuasive voice in the court, their words as insidious and consuming as the plant that claimed them.
Hyacinth’s presence is both captivating and unsettling, a living reminder of nature’s duality—the beauty and terror of its unchecked power. To stand before them is to feel the weight of inevitability, the creeping realization that nothing in their presence remains untouched by the relentless spread of life, even when that life is destructive. Hyacinth is more than a servant of the Court of Rampant Green; they are its embodiment, a testament to the unyielding force of growth, even in the face of death.
