Carys Mallowhollow
the Hollowbloom Fairy
Named for the love that takes root in the damp places others overlook, and the secret hollow where lilies keep their deepest color.
Lilytouch — you can coax water to hold the shape of anything you cup your hands around, but the shape lasts only until the next dawn and leaves your palms slick with regrets that aren't your own.

Every dusk you brush the mallow leaves aside to count the lily pads that have bloomed that day — the pink ones are lies, the white ones are promises. You noticed early that some lilies never opened, and that the water around them tasted of salt. When you first pressed your palm to the pond's surface, it didn't break. It cupped your hand, and you felt the weight of every unspoken thing drifting below.
