👀 Infold what the hell does this mean. And does it mean what I think you could be implying here
Like, to be very clear! All the other flowers and plants have clear descriptions of what they’re used for in clothing creation! And they’re all pretty realistic!
What do you MEAN “bring clothing to life”!!!!
“Grant stylists’ wishes”?!?!
So the fabric is brought to live through wishes made on/near this flower?!?!
LIKE PIECEYS?!? LIKE FUCKING PIECEYS INFOLD IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ME HERE?!?!
EDIT 27/02: Corrections to the Wish Inspection Center segment! I didn't realize Delicious Orb sorters have their own ornament. Also some additional lore here and there.
EDIT 21/03: Based on the "Falling Star" neckwear accessory, the gemstones on the librarians' ornaments are meteorites from the Aurosa Valley.
I went around the Wishing Woods taking note of what colors corresponded to what jobs, as well as the ornaments on their hoods. This is mostly for personal reference so I know where to find specific types of sprites. Due to the nature of this post there are unavoidable spoilers from Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 of the main story.
In general, the uniforms work like this:
higher ranked (i.e. supervisors) or otherwise unique (i.e. shopkeepers, named NPCs) fairies have the long ribbon-like wings, as well as the large ornament on their hood related to their work
generic fairies within a job have the standard tiny wings but in the same color as their uniform and a small version of the corresponding ornament at the end of their hood
fairies also seem to be allowed to add accessories however they like, a few of my screenshots include some who are wearing extra accessories that are not part of their uniform
For simplicity I will be referring to the two types of uniforms as "supervisor" and "standard". I've also tried to be clear about what things here are my assumptions so hopefully I haven't accidentally missed being clear about anything that is.
I will also mention where I feel I am missing information. This post also does not include the unique jobs like Eltinada's or Dorobo's.
Before we start, for comparison, here are what the general, non-uniformed Faewish Sprites looks like:
This is VERY image heavy so I've put the main content under a cut.
Wish Pass Office
Color: black
Ornament: quill feather
Roles: customs, passport issuance
Every interviewer along the Cavern of Wishes uses the supervisor uniform, presumably you have to be highly ranked to be an interviewer.
The standard Wish Pass fairies are only found along the road immediately after you enter the Wishing Woods. Their main role seems to be inspecting goods and taking inventory of items entering the Woods.
During Chigda's rule, they were instructed to reject all applications for a passport, giving them a fairly lax work environment for that time.
Given we can find Aventura in the Wishing Woods after Giroda is elected, Giroda presumably encouraged them to start earnestly reviewing applications again.
Wish Inspection Center
Color: pink
Ornament: pink heart with a white heart outlined in blue inside for the director and other high ranking supervisors, solid pink heart with a broken blue heart on top for bizarre orb supervisor, solid pink heart with a thin orange heart on top for delicious orb supervisor, solid pink heart for everyone else
Roles: handles everything related to all kinds of Wishing Orbs, splits accordingly into departments for Delicious Orbs, Bizarre Orbs, and Desperation Orbs
Note that only Director Boboda and Supervisor Vivibo have the two toned heart ornament.
The above are wish auditors, sorters, and inspectors found in the Wish Inspection Center. They are responsible for ensuring the Wishing Orb pipeline goes smoothly.
They sort wishes by listening to them and identifying the kind of wish from there, which is a natural ability to all Faewish Sprites. However, with the development of an amplifier by the Wishcraft Lab, they can now do this much faster, while also improving their accuracy.
It seems you have to pass a sorting accuracy test to join this office. The record is 99.9% accuracy, held by current Director Boboda who is also the youngest director in history.
Wishing Orb couriers/transporters also use the supervisor uniform (as seen in the cutscene where they take Afubo's doll), but this may more be due to having every important/named Faewish Sprite use the supervisor uniform than not.
As shown here by Afubo (left) and Durida (right), supervisors in charge of Bizarre Orbs and Delicious Orbs respectively get additions to their heart ornaments.
The Desperation Orb Warehouse presumably originally fell under the Wish Inspection Office as well, but was taken over by the Paladins under Chigda's orders. Currently, there are no uniformed supervisors from the Wish Inspection Office on-site.
Due to Wishing Orbs being the Faewish Sprites' primary source of nutrition, the Wish Inspection Center seems to be one of the two largest organizations.
Wish Celebration Center
Color: yellow
Ornament: yellow and orange striped cone hat with confetti ball at the end for supervisors, yellow and white striped cone hat OR a yellow puff ball for everyone else
Roles: coordinating the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, management of confetti cannons, making decorations and gifts, managing and preparing parents for the ceremony
One of the busier areas outside of the Grand Millewish Tree, the Wish Celebration Center is all about the Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
They work with the parents of baby sprites to assist both them and the babies for the ceremony, including helping them choose gifts for their baby and ensuring they have a name and clothes prepared. They provide ready made gifts like balloons and flowers.
They probably work closely with the dye station.
They're also in charge of the confetti cannons we use to launch Momo and Nikki.
Vikda is part of them, but has a unique outfit.
With how important the ceremony is to Faewish Sprite society in general, they are probably the other one of the two largest organizations.
Wishcraft Lab
Color: dark blue
Ornament: light bulb with a four pointed star inside
Roles: all kinds of research, Whimtech development and engineering, equipment maintenance, Wishing Orb study (i.e. studying the properties of Desperation Orbs, developing better methods to handle Bizarre Orbs), Desperation Syndrome study
These guys do a LOT of things and can be found in almost all the other offices as well, usually near equipment. They are in charge of Faewish technology, but also study things related to the mutated vines and Desperation Syndrome.
Many can also be found in the area around the Desperation Orb Warehouse.
Giroda has tasked them with upgrading the electrical system of the entire Wishing Woods within five years.
Research Institute
Since I was kind of confused by this initially, I'm giving this a subsection here. Created by Chigda and Avicinda as a separate office from the Wishcraft Lab, the Research Institute took budget and resources away from the Wishcraft Lab. Publicly, they were stated to be developing Whimtech weapons for the Paladins, but never actually produced anything. In reality, the Research Institute was a prison for human stylists kidnapped by the Paladins. Quick-Wish Bottles were also created here in the process of trying to create a second Aureum Vase.
After Chigda's defeat, fairies who had unwittingly joined the Research Institute have been absorbed into the Wishcraft Lab.
Quick-Flight Firefighters
Color: red
Ornament: splash of water
Roles: firefighting, preparing water balloons, emergency services
They're obviously found at the fire station in the residential area, where they have many water balloons prepared.
Fires were previously more common in the Wishing Woods when the confetti cannons were powered through ignition. Since the switch to compressed air, this doesn't happen as often anymore and the firefighters now mostly work as a general emergency service and also also help out other fairies where they can.
Wish Master's Paladins
Color: orange, may actually be brown
Ornament: feathered plume, supervisors additionally have a metal band with the four pointed star, captain gets a helm with the four pointed star
Roles: Faewish sprite military, bodyguards to the Wish Master, security guards, peacekeeping
Yes, Avicinda's outfit really is yellow compared to the orange/brown of the other Paladins.
Paladins carry wooden swords and use either Whim or some other natural Faewish magic to fight. Most of them can be found around the Grand Millewish Tree, naturally centered at their garrison, but also as guards in key entrances to the different areas of the tree. They are however, also found all over the Wishing Woods, either as guards or patrolling the area.
At the garrison there is also a trio of non-uniformed fairies doing exercises. I assume these are fresh recruits.
Under Chigda and Avicinda's control, they were exceptionally corrupt and abused their power against other Faewish Sprites while also regularly invading the Abandoned District. It would seem no Paladins other than Avicinda were aware of the true purposes of their work, being only given pieces of the truth here and there, just enough to keep them loyal and willing to abuse their power.
Giroda is presently working on reforming them into a better peacekeeping organization and has recruited new Paladins, which he's sent to start peace talks with the Pieceys.
Temple of Wishes Library
Color: light green
Ornament: meteorites from the Aurosa Valley
Roles: maintaining the books in the archive, importing new books, Faewish education
As head librarian, Pokobo's coloration is more yellow-green than her colleagues'.
They seem to be far fewer in number compared to other groups.
Under Chigda's rule, the library was completely closed off to the public as part of his efforts to control history.
Giroda reinstated Pokobo after her firing and has allowed the lending of books. He's also allowed her to start importing new literature to improve Faewish Sprites' critical thinking and general education of the world beyond the Wishing Woods.
Delicious Wish Clinic
Color: standard blue
Ornament: bandage patch on side of hood
Roles: doctors, medical staff, treating Desperation Syndrome, assisting the dye station
We saw them in action when the mutated vines attacked the Wishball field in the story. Not much to say about them IMO, they're doctors and most of them are found in the clinic, which is one level above the residential area. Desperation Syndrome is their biggest concern but it's not as common as in the past due to the improvements to the Wish Inspection Center. Most of their work comes from young Faewish Sprites.
Their predecessor is the Desperation Syndrome Research Center. It would seem they became a more general clinic after treatment with Delicious Orbs became possible.
Interestingly, you can find a lot of them helping at the dye station.
Dye Station/Workshop
Note: I'm unsure if there is an official name for this one
Color: light blue, close to cyan
Ornament: glimmergrass flower
Roles: conversion of glimmergrass into dyes, bottling and storage of dyes, management of dye inventory, several also work for Timis
There does not seem to be any of them with the supervisor outfit that I could find.
They are mostly found at the dye station, reachable via cannon to the right of the Temple of Wishes (I'm noting this because I always get lost trying to find them).
Most of Timis's Beauty Lab staff appear to also be from this group, so they also probably consist of a lot of designers or are more inclined to be interested in makeup due to the nature of their work.
The dyes are mostly used in preparation of clothes for baby Faewish Sprites for the Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
Medical staff can be found assisting them as well. Maybe because a lot of them left to work for Timis...?
Anglers
Note: there's no official name for this if they are a formal organization/group, so I am going by Gooeybo's shop "Angler's Catch"
Color: light(ish) blue
Ornament: fish fin
Roles: they are fishing!
As far as I could find, Gooeybo is the only angler with the supervisor style outfit, but does not seem to use the coloration.
A few can be found diving in the river beside the Beauty Lab's Waterwheel or near Elderwood Riverbank where you first enter the Wishing Woods.
Gardeners/Farmers
Note: this is another one with no official name as far as I've seen and in fact it's not spelled out what they do, but based on the placement of these NPCs and what Bachada sells, I assume they are either of the above
Color: turquoise
Ornament: four pointed star flower with two green leaves for supervisor, two leaves for standard
Roles: appears to largely be in charge of cultivating plants like lampblooms and glimmerglass, harvests sol fruit and stellar fruit, presumably they are the ones who wrap Delicious Orbs in sol fruit leaves
Bachada seems to be the only one with this ornament and the supervisor outfit, but does not use the coloration. I feel like I've seen other NPCs with this ornament, but I'm having trouble finding them.
They can be found in several places, but notably some of them are working in Dorobo's kitchen overseeing the Delicious Orbs and other vegetables.
Ironically, I couldn't find any of them working in the farm that Timis rented.
I got a few asks about this and I still don't know if i explained it well enough so hopefully this clears up any confusion about the timelines
Disclaimer this is just my understanding etc. etc.
Every Nikki exists in her own timeline, that is for the most part separate from the other Nikki's. They all have the same goal: save Miraland from destruction.
We know Nikki has tried and failed to save Miraland several thousands of times. In Love Nikki she is summoned by Queen Nanari to the year 680 and this is, from what we know, the first time she enters Miraland. She is given a year to save the world and whether or not she succeeds is not yet determined. We are however introduced to time travel.
Enter Shining Nikki. Shining Nikki is where we learn of diverging timelines, in this timeline Nikki failed to save Miraland in the year she was given from Love Nikki, she is summoned back in time to the Ark by Aeon and Marina (order and chaos) and tasked to save Miraland once more. We are also introduced to different worlds and timelines where Nikki tries and fails to save Miraland and this is where the creation of Star Sea comes into play, Nikki's unfailing hope and belief that Miraland can be saved no matter how many times she fails.
Infinity Nikki has pretty much confirmed with this update that this Nikki takes place in a different world/universe and the existence of more. I think the interesting thing here is the implication that everyone who is playing is playing a Nikki in a different world, as opposed to the other two games where we are just following Nikki as she goes on her adventure.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE LIKE THIS?!??????!?!? HOW DARE INFOLD NUKE TWO OF MY HUSBANDS BACK TO BACK LIKE THAT IN TWO DIFFERENT GAMES I AM NEVER RECOVERING FROM THIS ANGERT PLEASE COME BACK I BEG OF YOU
I never want to hear anyone say that Hoyoverse has the worst fans, when the LADS fandom (specifically the CN fans) just got the company to delete the newest character from the game and possibly might be getting Otome games banned in China.
