LAELA THE FLORIST
-AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER-
-AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER-
A female frog florist grew up being allergic to people in their 30s. So, growing up, whenever it was someone's 30th birthday, she would send them a flower in order to attack them and kill them. Yes, she would rather kill people in their 30s than go near them and have allergies. Although, a thought did not occur to her; what would happen when she turns 30? Will she be allergic to her self and die? Or will she be okay and live normally? Well, on her 30s birthday she
strangely woke up completely fine, not allergic to her own self, and being completely normal. Amazing right? But, as soon as she steps into her flower shop in the
morning, all her plants, being well trained to attack people in their 30s, come attacking her, making her vulnerable, broken bones, bruised, full of prickles, and covered in blood.
In the animatic, we follow her story after the accident; she has lost her memory, as a result, she has to label all of her plants in order to remember their names; daises, tulips, roses, etc. Expect for one.
A strange little plant that she decided to label "???" ad hoping that she will be able to identify it when it grows a bit. But as time goes by, the plant starts getting bigger and bigger, it's beautiful: thick blueish roots with unique orange and pink flowers, cute, no? Actually, no. The plant suddenly starts gaining life! It starts moving around slowly, and we sense that it is targeting Laela! OH NO NOT AGAIN! Well and again it happened, the plant attacked the poor frog and took her life....
