Spring

* Flag
 **Associations** | Rebirth, Renewal, Regrowth

One of the four seasons, spring is the season of new beginnings. The plants sprout new buds, the animals awake from hibernation and give birth to live young, and the earth seems to wear new greenery again.

Rainfall increases and the temperature rises...slowly. Farmers plant new seeds, thus Spring is associated with **rebirth, renewal and regrowth**.

## Description

The guardians of Spring go in light shades of green, pink, and other pastel colors. They also incorporate white in their clothing. The flowers of spring (see below) serve as motifs, as well as the trees. For animals, it's usually the young of animals like rabbits, sheep and chickens, as well as birds that sing in spring such as Japanese bush warbler and those creatures that change their coat colors from winter to spring and vice versa. A spring breeze seems to follow some of them or the petals of their heraldic flower, and most of them look youthful, even if they reached old age.

### Personality

Most often, the guardians of Spring are said to be on the idealistic spectrum. They are filled with hope, are optimistic about whatever situation they find themselves in, not to mention that they see the good in everybody and the potential for ideas to blossom and grow like flowers in springtime. Even the most cynical Spring Guardian can count on one hand, the good they see in a situation they find themselves in and in someone they know and love (or hate).

As spring is the season of new beginnings, its guardians are the sort to easily accept whatever change that comes into their lives. For them, every loss they have encountered is just another opportunity to begin again. Some Spring Guardians have a creative streak, as they love exploring ideas and concepts before putting them to fruition, so they tend to find themselves in the arts and entertainment industry, but on the 'making' part. They love beauty and pour their heart and soul into making things that soothe the eyes. and thus frown on the destruction of anything deemed beautiful by them (of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...).

Most have a romantic nature, and seek love as much as they give it. They love all things and are loved by those who meet them in turn due to their optimism. They are usually in a good mood, especially with their family and friends, unless their loved ones are hurt, which causes them to shift their personalities into one befitting a thunderstorm and bring out their fury on the culprit. When it comes to the weak, such as children or small animals, they exude compassion to them and care for them. Some Vernals nurture the talents of these they care for and encourage them if they have any doubts. And if their charges are hurt, they too, will take severe action on the one responsible.

Problem is, their head can be in the clouds sometimes, and they're naïve, easily fooled and especially when harsh reality crashes down on them, they become moody and fickle in their emotions. At worst, they can be immature, controlled by their basest desires and whatever emotion they are feeling this time.
