## Backstory

After falling deeply in love with Eden Clouds, Willful Ground found himself without a place to call his own. With the gracious support of Eden's parents, he was welcomed into their home, where he began to adapt to a life outside of his own family.

However, driven by his passion for farming and a desire to reconnect with his father, Ground Furrow, who had relocated and settled in the open plains, Willful decided to embark on a journey to rebuild the bond with his estranged parent. Guided by his father's wisdom and farming expertise, Willful was assisted in constructing his own farm near the enchanting Everfree Forest.

It was within this picturesque setting that Willful Ground's Farm came to life. With each seed sown and crop harvested, the farm flourished under the tutelage of both Willful Ground and Ground Furrow. The cozy wooden house became a symbol of their shared efforts and a testament to the enduring love between father and son. It was here that Willful and Eden found their own haven, living happily amidst the bounties of nature and the warmth of their blossoming romance. This farm not only provided sustenance but also served as a place of love and togetherness, marking the beginning of a beautiful chapter in their lives.

## Development

The development of Willful Ground's Farm was an addition made in late 2022 by Sylvain Barre, aimed at expanding upon the character of Willful Ground and enriching his backstory. Prior to this, in mid 2020, it was established that Willful had a background as a farmer. This served as the foundation for the later, more detailed creation of the farm itself. The farm's creation in 2022 allowed for a deeper exploration of Willful's farming skills, family relationships, and his blossoming romance with Eden Clouds, adding layers of complexity to his character and narrative.
