  • Daylight and sunbeams cover the petal collector as they care for the garden, tending to the various blossoms and blooms that adorn the trellises and grace the fairy homes. K4LLiN0Mii3 is green like the grasses of the makeshift garden they inhabit, and bright like the petals they collect.

    The petal collector thrives during the daylight, hiding among flowers and stems while creating new blooms for the creatures of the garden.
