THISTLE

[theme song]

Once upon a time, there was a story who was loved. A story who had been read over and over and over again, loved by everyone who had read it. At some point, it had been reinvented and reimagined over and over and over until the original couldn't be recognized anymore. Even the story itself can't remember what story they originally were. Instead, all they have is a remnant of their original story as their name.

Their goal?

To remember who they once were.

Once upon a time, you were someone who knew this story well. You read that story over and over and over again because you loved it so dearly, but at some point, you grew up. You left that magical world and ended up in a world that had forgotten the world of magic.

But one day, you remembered that magic. You remembered the world that you loved, that story you loved, and you wake up in the new world.

But you don't quite remember the details.

If you can remember the story through the LOVE LOVE DOKI DOKI in your heart, you might be able to help the suitor (aka the story) to remember who they truly are, and maybe also, figure out who that story truly wants to be.

The story holds out their hand to you to help you up from the field you were lying in.

LOCKHEART. Aka the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Likes: Perfection, Naps, Mysteries
Dislikes: Thieves, Intruders, Humans

This storybook is a bit wild. Prim and proper at first, they look like a wholesome fellow. However, as you speak with them, you begin to realize that they're a little strange. Despite hating thieves and intruders, they've got no problem intruding in people's business for their benefit and taking things they thing belongs to them. In a way, they do make sure things are perfect and the best for you, but also nothing will stop them from achieving "just right".

It's almost like solving a mystery or finding the greatest treasure, both things they enjoy.

“Hi there, fellow detectives. I know you don't know me but I sent that letter. Let me tell you what's going on. I am Lockheart, and I'm basically the embodiment of a fairy tale. If you don't know what those are, you know what? Truly that makes my heart ache but we can fix it.

My goal is to remember who I am. Why? Because it will restore the balance of my soul. It's like I remember clues, but everyone took my story and retold it so many times, I forgot what I am.

But the one thing I do remember is the love given to me. If I can truly experience that love again, I think I'll be ever to remember who I am. I might not like who I was, maybe I like who I am now, but we can address that when we get there, we'll find what's perfectly right.

I’m not asking you to fall in love with me, even though maybe you did once upon a time. But I thought it might help if we go on dates to help regain the memories I lost.

I know this is a big favor to ask for but, will you help me?”
