Hero Form Appearance: A combo of a butterfly fairy's dancing dress and YuYuYu’s Hero Form outfits. The undersuit is a jet black so that the brighter colors can stand out in contrast to the canvas. The main outfit starts out white, but that becomes a golden yellow when you reach the lower half of the sleeves, the lower half of the pants, and the tailcoat. Accent colors include white, gold, silver, gray, black, and purple. The shoes, gloves, and belt all have patterns of butterfly bush flowers on them, and the only other accessory is a yellow butterfly bush hairpin in her hair. The flower’s petal shape can be seen in the collar and tailcoat. There's even room for her wings!

Bio: Everyone is welcome in the Garden of Delights. Among those who sought happiness in this paradise on Earthbread is a Cookie who smiles, looking at her wings that glisten brightly in the rays of the never-setting sun. Hailing from a land beyond the veil of fog, Sugarfly Cookie, too, found her Joy in this place. Since then, she has dedicated herself to delivering Happiness to all beings less fortunate, comforting the sorrowful and healing the pained with a word and a touch as delicate as her beauty. But why does she work so hard in a place without hardship? Sugarfly Cookie answers gently, "There is nothing I wouldn't do to repay Eternal Sugar Cookie's boundless kindness."

The beauty Buddleja - ecological hero 🦸🏻‍♀️ or villain 🦹🏿‍♂️? 

The Buddleja (Buddleja davidii) is native to central China and Japan before it was discovered by European botanists in the 19th century. The plant was brought to Europe in the 1880’s where it was an immediate success. Perhaps too successful... since the 1920’s it has started colonising habitat beyond suburban gardens in the UK. 

Let’s consider the villainous side of Buddleja first. The plants crowds out native plant species because it reproduces quickly and can colonise a wide range of habitats. This plant is not a food source for any know European butterflies. 

On the heroic side, this plant mostly takes over brownfield sites like abandoned buildings and other neglected urban spaces rather than established forests and meadows. The plant is a fantastic food source for native butterflies and other insects, and it blooms for a long period of time. 

Is the Buddleja a good guy or a bad guy? You decide!
