I am a multi-passionate creative with a very diverse range of interests thanks to having the ADHD superpower! I am a dachshund mama, plant lady, and huge YA fantasy fan. I also enjoy drawing, knitting, and collecting Squishmallows (along with many other hobbies!). Other games I enjoy playing are Warframe, Halo, Destiny, Ori, Cozy Grove, Sims... you get the idea!When I'm not indulging in my hobbies, I'm also an entrepreneur with several hustles going on at all times, like my map commissions on Etsy!

the name
if you're familiar with YA fiction, then you'll know where I got the name for this island. I had just read (and fallen in love with) the Caraval Trilogy by Stephanie Garber the summer before I got ACNH, so it felt right to name my very first island after the series.
I grew up going to the Smokey Mountains every year with my family for a week. we would rent a cabin and spend our time finding waterfalls, driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and exploring all the small mountain towns we came across. so naturally, when I realized how much I loved terraforming in acnh, I knew I needed to pull from those memories and create a mountain town with forestcore vibes. I set it in summer so that the hydrangea would be in bloom, as they are one of my favorites.
