Homebrew Butterfly Species Details

 

Butterfly

Last night was the opening night for The Regal Garden Theatre’s new emotional musical ‘One More Sunset.’ It was also the grand premiere of Songstress Lilly. Though she may be a newcomer, her tremendous skill and voice showed why she was cast as the leading lady of the musical. However, upon interviewing her I quickly learned that the songstress is more than she appeared! She not only has a career in theater, but also a career in medicine! Working part time at the St. Nymph Hospital, she shows that if you are strong enough you can do hard work, but also can still be absolutely beautiful.”

 

These bugs, similar to Common Bugs, can be found almost anywhere. Their beautiful wings and kind natures define these bugs. Each Butterfly is unique in its own way, whether it be by the color and shape of their wings, their personality, or their skills.

 

Pinnacle of Beauty

Throughout history these bugs have been known for their natural beauty. Many see them as the pinnacle of beauty and strive to emulate them. This, along with their good nature, has led Butterfly’s to being welcomed into most kingdoms while also easily allowing them to get ahead of their competitors in whatever career they choose. Most Butterflies choose to be entertainers, including singing, acting and dancing.

The Curse of Beauty

However, there are downsides to their beauty. Some bugs only see them as weak fragile bugs that need to be protected. Their intelligence is sometimes overshadowed and dismissed as naivete.
This causes resentment for many Butterflies. This resentment has led some to be sow chaos, using their beauty to get what they want, while other Butterflies decide to take careers as adventurers to prove that they can be strong. Others decide to devote their life to the pursuit of justice and knowledge.
