Basically, this is a big part of my au, its when Plum gets kidnapped by Bowser and she gets a bunch of character development XD. I'll explain why Bowser did this and stuff leading up to it (more perspectives) with other drawings but for now I'll focus on what's happening here...
Once Bowser got Plum to the castle, he locked her up in a cage, above lava (incase she managed to get out in any way) and planned to await Mario's arrival.. as usual... However while in the cage, Plums thoughts were spiraling.. Usually someone would be terrified in a situation like this but all she could think about was how pathetic it was to get caught like that.. Saying things like "How could I let him-a take me, I didn't even put up a fight.." or "*sigh* papa's gonna be-a so disappointed with me.." (yes she has a cute Italian twang in her accent, lol) she couldn't be more wrong about that last statement though. As time passed in there, she occasionally thought of some ways to try to escape, but there was guards everywhere.. Sometimes they'd even come and talk to her (the koopalings and Hazel do too but that's for another time) After what felt like an eternity, and an uncertainty of Mario even showing up, she just gave up, sat there and stared off into space... in a pool of self doubt, but she swore to herself if she miraculously could get out of there, it would NEVER happen again. She's gonna train to be just like Mario, to make him proud!! Of course though this is all from Plum's perspective so it's not very accurate to what truly happened . I just wanted to give my girl some development (I really abuse my ocs, huh? XD) That's about it, I'm not good at wording things so it might not make sense..im also tired lol. Hope it kinda makes sense ^w^
