Rellia Vane — Sage Kudu Fashion and a Garden Vote
Rellia Vane knows every plant in the courtyard garden and almost none of the people who pass through it. The adult kudu-inspired gardener has spent years tending its borders in a sage wrap coat, her raspberry hair catching on the same low branch each spring. She carries a little round purse containing seed labels, a gate key, and a list of improvements nobody has requested.

The story of Rellia Vane
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
She inherited the garden's care after a neighbor moved away. What began as watering on weekends became a private system of schedules and rules. Rellia could identify a struggling shrub from across the courtyard, but she had stopped noticing that the narrow path excluded visitors who could not manage its uneven stones.
A proposed redesign felt like a criticism of everything she had protected. Rellia arrived at the first meeting prepared to defend the borders. Instead, a resident asked whether the new bench could face the afternoon sun. Another wanted a place to rest while carrying groceries. Nobody asked for the plants to disappear.
Rellia began inviting people to walk the garden with her. The conversations changed her list. A beloved flower bed could move, a branch could rise, and a wider path might bring more careful attention rather than less. She still worries about damage, but she now recognizes that keeping a place untouched is not the same as caring for everyone who uses it.
At tonight's vote, she will present two drawings: the garden as it is and the garden they have imagined together. Her purse contains the old gate key, though the new design may not need a lock.
