Giselle is Ahren's entry for Scroll's Nostalgia OC contest. Giselle is based off of the character Giselle (not the Disney character!) from the ballet Giselle or The Willis. I chose Giselle as my entry because it was a story in an old book of mine I loved as a kid. I loved Giselle's story especially. 
This is the first contest I've participated in since like,, January so idk how good this will be hh

appearance
*Giselle looks like a cow and dragons loved her for that. Now she looks like a ghost-cow
*She's more of a fairy tale than anything but an actual dragon named Giselle existed at one point in time

history
*Giselle's dad was a lovesick IceWing merchant that was an animus noble in disguise
**His name was Shard btw
*Shard left the Ice Kingdom because he was bored and started to live in the mud kingdom as a merchant
*Shard met Giselle's mother, Berthe, in the mud kingdom and his naive soul fell in love with the stoic mudwing. 
*They really loved each other though- no matter how deep of a frown Berthe put on her face Shard would always be able to make her laugh with a kiss or a joke 
*Anyway Giselle was born. her sister, Tithonia, was born two years later
*Giselle loved playing with her sister. The two developed a close bond and Tithy always looked up to Giselle 
*The family of four was happy for Giselle's childhood
*She had a pretty normal childhood. giselle was always very kind to everyone and boys and girls alike had crushes on her. she however never really showed any interest
*One of these suitors was a young NightWing-MudWing named Hilarion. Giselle and hilarion were friends ever since they hatched and hilarion had a crush on giselle for as long as that
*The two grew up. Giselle became gifted with dance and weaving, while Hilarion became an expert at hunting. 
*Giselle wanted to pursue dance as a career but she decided to keep it as a hobby. Her physical heart was always weak and sometimes Giselle would pass out if she danced for too long
*One day Shard went on a business trip to the Rain Kingdom and never came back. The family later found out that he had been intercepted by a troop of IceWing soldiers that were on orders to find an animus IceWing noble disguised as a merchant. He was taken to the Ice Kingdom where he was forced to marry an IceWing princess so the animus gene would be transferred to the royal family. Shard died suddenly a few weeks before Giselle's step-brother was born
**Giselle never saw her mother smile again
*Fast forward a few years to when Giselle was 10. A SkyWing prince named Aster was visiting the Mud Kingdom dressed up as a peasant when he saw Giselle dancing in the street. The two instantly fell in love
*Hilarion was of course, jealous and suspicious of this new SkyWing. he started investigating him
*Giselle and Aster were very happy together. The problem is that Aster was engaged to a SkyWing noble's daughter named Gust. 
*So one day Gust and some other SkyWing nobles decided to take a vacation in Giselle's small village. Aster was forced to join them and publicly announced his engagement to Gust at the same time that Hilarion showed the villagers Aster's pure gold bracelet that a peasant couldn't be able to wear
*Giselle died of a broken heart. She had already danced too much that day.
*She was buried in the forest where roamed the Willis, a group of young MudWings that were dumped on their wedding day. All died of a broken heart and hated all men. But none were as ruthless as their queen, Queen Mythra. 
*Long story short if you went into the forest after dark, you got obliterated by the willis
*Giselle was welcomed in to the Willis and she shared her story with the others. At that same time Hilarion came into the forest to mourn for Giselle. Giselle tries to stop the willis from killing Hilarion but they didn't care and drowned him
*Then Aster came into the forest. He apologized for not telling Giselle the truth and sat quietly sobbing when Giselle's ghost appeared. Giselle started leading Aster out of the forest when Mythra and her willis showed up. Mythra forced Aster to danced until he died along with Giselle. Aster survived until almost morning when Mythra became bored of him dancing and yeeted him to a river
*Giselle told Aster that she forgave him and kissed him. with this new strength Aster was able to get out of the forest
*And with giselle's acceptance of Aster's apology the spell on the forest was lifted and all the Willis were put to eternal rest
*Giselle now floats in the dimension between space and time, spreading gold dust wherever she goes

trivia
*Giselle almost became the spirit of autumn but she refused because she didn't want to overcomplicate the rest of her existence
*Giselle's nephew was an animus. He and his parents (Tithonia and her wife) were unfortunately killed by IceWing spies because the IceWing queen wanted the animus line to belong only to the IceWing royals.
