🐝 FUN MELLY FACT #3!!! If anyone's curious about Melly's "bag" or what it is called, it's basically an insect cage to which she attached bag straps. :3

I LOVE CRAFTY MELLY!!!

🐝 Fun Melly fact #4! Her gauze mask's design is based on this picture from the Dutch Bee Market in 1956, Netherlands. Photographer: Thomas D. McAvoy You can see more pictures from the market here: https://www.life.com/animals/bees-for-sale-photos-from-a-busy-bee-market-in-the-netherlands-1956/

Fun Melly fact #1! 🐝 Her accessory "Dew" actually references a line from Zhuangzi, an ancient Chinese book. The original line is: "夏虫不可以语冰", but the actual quote is longer (see picture 1). It's an interesting quote.

Fun Melly fact #2! 🐝 Her S accessory, Encased Butterfly, could be hinting at the idea of "concealing objects in a book" by the look of the cut-out pages from within. If she ever had such a thing (like a similar book used to hide her specimens, not necessarily this accessory), could've she been hiding it from Joshua? Hm.

Coloured a sketch of Margaretha and Melly interacting. <3

Really needed an excuse just to draw my secondary mains together, haha. I love them so much. I feel like Marg would be the type to easily get frightened and Melly would act tough for Marg’s sake. :’(
