Mint Obsidian — Heron Mirror Keepers Character Sheet

The story of Mint Obsidian

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

The Mint Obsidian keepers tend a hall of mirrors beside a quiet wetland. Six heron scholars walk its galleries in long black robes framed by pale green layers. Their silver staffs and handheld mirrors reflect the changing sky. Fine embroidery recalls reeds, blossoms, and birds, connecting the polished chambers to the living landscape outside their windows.

One keeper studies how light crosses water, another restores old mirror frames, and a third teaches visitors to draw reflections accurately. Their companions maintain the gallery shutters, record seasonal colors, and preserve the stories attached to inherited objects. Long beaks and feathered silhouettes give them a solemn appearance, though their daily conversations are often full of patient humor.

One afternoon, a mirror seems to show a tree that no longer stands outside. Instead of declaring the glass enchanted, the keepers follow the reflection through the gallery. Two angled surfaces reveal a distant tree beyond the courtyard wall. They preserve the accidental arrangement as a teaching exhibit, inviting visitors to trace the surprising path of ordinary light.

This original heron ensemble explores elegant vertical shapes through layered robes, ornate reflective accessories, and broad feathered wings. Changes in crests, hoods, floral patterns, and staff frames distinguish each figure. Their fictional lore treats wonder and careful inquiry as companions. Understanding a beautiful effect does not diminish it; the keepers believe that learning how something works often reveals more possibilities than a mystery left entirely unexplored.
