## Development

Leafy Branch's development in March of 2023 was a product of Sylvain Barre's creative endeavors, inspired by the desire to expand the family of Eden Clouds. It came from a friendship with another person who had a tomboy mare OC, Sylvain Barre conceived Leafy as a playful and amusing counterpart to Eden. In creating Leafy Branch, he not only aimed to create a contrast with her sister's character but also to pay tribute to the OC of his friend who had brought him some joy. Her name Leafy Branch was also a contrast to reflect the father's name linked to trees (Birch Bark). A contrast with the mother Blue Sky and Eden Clouds, which are linked to the sky.
