About the Sunshade Forest

Chickie Prime

Chickie Prime is believed to be the origin and central link between all chickies within the Sunshade Forest. Every chickie seems subtly connected to it, as if sharing a quiet, unseen bond. Whether it is their source, their guardian, or something far older remains unknown.

Unlike ordinary chickies, Chickie Prime displays a noticeably higher level of intelligence. It observes, remembers, and reacts with intent, rather than instinct. Most unsettling of all, it can alter its voice—mimicking sounds, tones, and even familiar voices with eerie accuracy.

Its diet further separates it from the rest. While normal chickies feed harmlessly, Chickie Prime consumes fairies. The magical essence of these creatures appears to sustain or even strengthen it, though the full extent of this effect is not yet understood.

Chickie Prime does not appear naturally at all times. Instead, it has only been observed manifesting after a certain number of chickies have gathered within the Sunshade Forest. Whether this is a summoning, a transformation, or a response to some unseen threshold is still being studied.

Despite its soft and harmless appearance, Chickie Prime is not simply another chickie.

It is something more.

Shou

Shou is a palm-sized wanderer of the Sunshade Forest, a quiet soul with a kind heart and a gift for listening. Chosen by the forest itself, he carries the title of Tidemender, one who restores balance where things have gone gently wrong.

With a small satchel of herbs, a leaf-worn cape, and a steady patience beyond his size, Shou travels the forest’s edges, helping lost creatures, mending broken paths, and keeping the quiet harmony of the woods alive.

He is not a hero of grand battles.
but in the Sunshade Forest, the smallest hands often make the biggest difference.
