I just has a random pang of inspiration to draw which brought this pic about. The Lalichiru appear to have picked up a cute little holiday custom from us living folk. Those who know me in the Endium streams probably recognize these plant creatures. But for those who don't, here's something to explain the Lalichiru and their probable origin:

"They are ethereal creatures that seem to make their homes in the deepest and most desolate of forests, though, they are known to venture from their quiet niche to interact with the living. They are a very diverse species, coming in a wide myriad of forms and an even wider variant of personalities. Their floral bodies house no organs; instead they are filled with a dubious slime that they seem to have absolute command over. This odd slime can be molded into a beautiful gemstone appropriately known as a Lalichiru Emerald. These precious gems have the same shape-shifting capabilities as the slime they were formed from, but these gems can have their command turned over to someone other than just the lalichiru the slime came from. They can also release various gases and produce various sounds, all having adverse effects on living creatures. Aside from the deep woods, the Lalichiru also seem to frolic and congregate around overgrown cemeteries and deserted structures. Some say that they are the lost souls of children, basking eternally in the blissful state of innocent childhood they died in. Others believe that they are effigies of the youthful innocence we all eventually lose to time..."

If you read that whole thing, thank you so very much and I'd really appreciate hearing what you thought of the description.
