Butterfly Kisses || Male (he/him) || Pansexual/Monogamous || Spring || Earth
Likes: Butterflies and bees, wild gardens, flowers, warm spring and summer days, building community through gardening.
Dislikes: Wasps, turf lawns, the rain, isolation, soggy clothing.
Summary: Butterfly Kisses loves to get dirty, to an extent. He'll happily get down in the dirt to plant butterfly and bee attracting flowers and plants - he loves to give the pollinators a place to thrive! But once the rain clouds start to gather, he'll dart back inside without so much of a second glance. If he leaves his tools behind in the garden, he might come back with an umbrella and rainboots to pick them up, but more often than not, he'll leave them out there. The risk of a tangled mane and soggy gloves is enough to send him running for the hills. Kiss much prefers warm day surrounded by pollinators - most of them, wasps would do good to keep out of his gardens if they know what's good for them.
Occupation: Landscaper: Specializing in butterfly and pollinator garden plants.
Job Details: Butterfly Wishes is owned and operated solely by Butterfly Kisses. He's got an advertising board with his contact information posted in front of his house, which in itself is a well maintained 'naturally wild' pollinator garden in front and back. Since he is the only employee, he tends to set his own hours that change depending on whether he has a job that day, but he'll generally stop taking calls after 4:30pm. A self-made business-stallion nearly all of of Kiss' jobs come from word of mouth or referrals from happy customers.
Place In The World: Butterfly Kisses has made his home in Dream Valley having moved there as an adult to occupy a space that experienced all of the seasons, even if it meant he had to stand some rain and snow half the year. He's within half a day's walk to Everville, which is where he gets most of his gardening supplies repaired or replaced. He doesn't like the natural cut look small town gardens - and abhors going into any cities for this exact reason - so unless he's travelling for work or personal expenses, he stays home.
His home is a cozy ranch home, with a basement beneath it but no stairs on the property, unless you count the three steps it takes to get onto the lawn. Surrounding his house from all sides are flowering bushes and plants that attract butterflies and bees alike. He's got a few apple trees on his property, but they aren't old enough to bear fruit yet. Kiss has an herb garden closer to his front porch and enjoys coming out to prune excess growth from the rosemary bushes, but he'd hardly call himself a farmer.
Sure, he wakes up with the sun most days, works hard in his gardens or in those of other ponies when he's got a job to do, and comes home to a cup of tea before settling into bed again, but that's a consequence of working the land, not necessarily being a farmer per say - not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.
Who They Know: Florascent - Lifemate, one true love, partner in life. Whatever you'd like to call it, Florascent has made a big impact on Butterfly Kisses and now he can't imagine his life being the same without them.
About Their Pet: Dahlia - Fae - Female
Dahlia was found resting on top of Butterfly Kisses' basket when he was found and has been a constant companion of his since he emerged from his basket. He has a deep affection for his silent companion and is the first to notice if her health ever takes a decline. She is often seen nestled in his mane or floating near his ears when he's working.
Owned Trinkets:
Kiss doesn't usually collect trinkets, but he saw this small sculpture at an antique store when he was in Everville and something about it charmed him into making a purchase. It now rests on the porch outside, collecting dirt and dust, but he brings it inside whenever it gets wet outside.
