Odette Sable | Lilac Black Skunk Character Art
Odette Sable closed her flower shop when most of the city began opening its windows. Her night-blooming plants preferred lamps, reflected moonlight, and customers who spoke softly. The skunk florist wore a black cape marked with lilac lines, each square stitched after a different window in the neighborhood. One square remained empty.

The story of Odette Sable
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
A customer arrived carrying a flower that looked transparent in direct light. In a mirror, however, its petals appeared deep violet. Odette tried watering it, shading it, and moving it beneath different lamps. Only the reflected image seemed to grow, slowly reaching toward the mirror's frame.
She remembered the empty square on her cape. It represented a demolished house whose upper window had once reflected the moon into her shop. Among the salvaged fittings, she found a small mirror with a silvered edge shaped like the flower's leaves. She placed the two together after sunset.
The reflected stem straightened, revealing a tiny seed suspended behind the glass. Odette asked a glassworker to open the frame without damaging it. Inside lay a pressed seed envelope and a note from the former householder, who had hoped someone would continue growing the unusual plant.
By spring, several mirrored planters stood along the shop's back wall. Odette added one lilac stitch to the empty square, leaving space around it. The missing house would not return, but its strange garden had found another window, and the florist now stayed awake to watch it bloom.
