Gaia is a beautiful place. There's no denying that. From the tiny, delicate Guppies of Bass'ken Lake, to the regal Gembacks of the Durem Reclamation Facility; from the snobbish yet intriguing Von Helson sisters (wherever they may be) to the perky and blissful Sasha from Gambino; from the feathery, fiery Phoenix Circlet to the coveted golden Halo, Gaia is nothing if not beautiful. And I CAN'T STAND IT. DAMN!
This place isn't human, I swear it. It just in't right, it just in't right, this place must be made of plastic or something. Everything is perfect. Even the animals here are beauty queens. Look at all the winged cats running around! I don't belong here.
Excuse me, that rant wasn't directed at you, even if your hair is that perfect shade of purple and your Kiki Kitty is in mint condition. I just feel alienated, that's all. Being a Wiffett, I fear I've grown accustomed to imperfection.
Oh, wait. I should explain what a Wiffett is. After all, that's the reason I'm here. See, the Wiffetts, my people, are the spirit peoples of the swamps. Do you know what a swamp is? Gaia doesn't have swamps, does it? Well, a swamp is a muddy, smelly place. You pretty Gaians don't belong there. Anyway, the Wiffetts live in little communities inside swamps. They're kind of like toads, so they fit in well there. They're also quite magical.
The Wiffetts found me when I was a little baby. They raised me as one of their own. Oh, did I introduce myself yet? I don't think I did. Hi, my name is... ... ...y'know what? Just call me 'the Wiffett girl.' My real name probably isn't pretty enough for Gaia. It doesn't even sound remotely Japanese, nor does it contain any brackets and numbers. You Gaians wouldn't like it. So I'm just the Wiffett girl.
I bet you're wondering why I'm talking to you in the first place, huh? Well, let's just say I need a favor. In my homeland, which is far, FAR away from Gaia the Perfect, humans are starting to pave over the Wiffett Swamps. The Wiffetts normally don't get involved in human affairs, so we didn't put up a fight, we just up and left. But then we realized that we don't have anywhere to live. That was some wonderful planning, huh? Whatever. That in't important now. I need you, and all your Gaian friends, to help give my people new homes. Don't worry, they'll be perfectly happy living with humans once they get to know you.
First, though, you gotta lure them out, and convince them you're worth getting to know. Most Wiffetts adore shiny things, like gold coins. Flash around enough of them, and a couple of Wiffetts might decide to make themselves visible to you. From there, you just gotta make friends.
So, can you do me this favor?
