Mr. Mint

4

Mr. Mint is a joyful character in candyland, sweet, cheerful, and always looking for a way to make children smile. he's the lumberjack of peppermint forest, and likes to whittle little toys and things for the kids. but things are changing. ever since the King went missing, the entire kingdom has been up in arms, shouting and pointing fingers, and it's now, that Elliot is realizing where he lies. Peppermint was never really something people craved. not like ice cream, or fruit snacks... no. it's something that you only think about when your breath stinks, or when December rolls around, and you want something else to put on the tree, or in the hot chocolate. and even then, when the holidays are over, it's all packed away, not to be seen for another 11 months. a temporary commodity. Elliot is a people pleaser. and a chronic one at that. he does his best to keep a childlike innocence, but his naivety tends to make him become overlooked. the kingdom divided the day that King Kandy left. the northern cities despised the southern forests and anything on the other side of Lord Licorice's lagoon. Rumors spread. harmful whispers clouding the minds of the others... even the children fought to cross the Rainbow bridge to skip going that way... is it so bad to have the choice to smile? to make the decision to be nice? to choose to be innocent? and if it isn't. why does it get taken for granted? why does he feel like nothing more than a doormat? . (thank you everyone who's still sticking around, even though it's been a while since I've posted... I've just been stressed. his name, Elliot, is just what I made up, since there was nothing stating he has an official first name like Lord Licorice does. he's also one of my favorites. anyway, I'm going to try to push more out, soon. love y'all ❤️) other characters: king candy Princess frostintine Lolly Lord Licorice Duke of Swirl
