Vera in the Garden of Spirals (and Other Existential Threats)
Vera wandered into a field of wildflowers and got distracted by the spirals, and never left.
Her feathers remained black and white – but inside, she felt colourfull, and her world is anything but dull.
And with the sunlight on her silver belly, she even looked a little… shimmering.
She’s poetic, mildly confused, and endlessly charming –
a perfect companion for anyone who’s ever felt a little out of place (and kind of liked it).
She stood still for a long while, listening to the grass whisper and the bees hum.
Everything was far too much, and yet not enough.
Veras background
Vera is a slightly mad penguin from the more colorful corners of the world, somewhere warm and wildly inaccurate. Not every penguin comes from Antarctica – but try telling that to the map in her childhood classroom. She wears lipstick in hopes of looking more like the emperor penguins – it's a status thing, really. She’s awkward, poetic, often confused, and occasionally wise. She overthinks everything, loves too deeply, and sometimes gets stuck in flowerbeds. But she means well. Always.
