UPDATE 7/30: After much thought and how I haven't been giving enough attention to this species, I've passed ownership of this adopt series to :iconforgotten-memoir: whose ideas gave me this inspiration.

-- Intro


Wish01 by mayoujiiWish02 by mayoujii

Story

All cultures share a universal practice of making wishes whether it's lighting an incense stick or blowing a candle on a birthday. Superstition has it, the stronger you believe it, the more likely it will come true. If strong enough the wish, it can take form into a fortune spirit and follow after the wisher. Though usually invisible to the living, those who have seen them call them Moiraiga.

Name

  "Moira": in Greek mythology, the Moira referred to the incarnations of destiny who controlled fate through a metaphorical thread 

-- Characteristics 

Example01 by mayoujii


Traits

♦ Not all wishes are made by humans, Moiraiga will borrow traits as their own but of humanoid shape 
♦ Around their necks is a tied knot of sorts (like a promise).
    If that promise is broken, the knot falls loose and some might lose their heads then they just have fun scarying people //slapped

♦  Moira based on eastern customs will be missing an eye (like a daruma) until the wish is fulfilled
♦  Clothing can vary greatly, changing on where the wish is made 
♦  Will take traits based on the how the wish was made 
    this is more of a note for jayo:  wheels, tags, incense sticks, candles, bells, ribbons, threads, etc.
♦  Being spirits, there feet are rather whispy, though so are the area around their necks


Example02 by mayoujii


Types

There are generally two types of spirits: 
♦ blessing - manifested from the good will of the wisher, they are generally more mild and optimistic
♦ misfortune - manifested from the animosity of the wisher, they are mischievous and lack empathy 

Care

♦ Feel free to add them as clingy sidekicks to your stories/rp characters~
♦ Order them around to bother and annoy the enemy or rival character
♦ They just need to feed off the emotions of a preexisting character~

I know you passed the ownership of this guys off, but would you ever consider making one again? Their information is really interesting.
