Dodora: Sweet Clouds

Designer's Reflection: Sweet Clouds

Obtained: Vol. 2 Chapter 2 workshop

Rarity: SR

Attribute: Pink/Sweet

Awakened Suit: Honey Clouds

Story - transcripts from Designer's Reflection

Chapter 1 - Well Prepared

Chapter 2 - Direct Interview

Chapter 3 - Sweet Moment

Story - summarized

Dodora used to be a performer for Mercury Era, but she recently dropped the contract, stirring rumors about her talent and background. Her agent - also her most dedicated fan - sticks by her side through the ordeal.

In response, Dodora sets up her own studio so she can continue performing and singing. She makes sure to keep the focus on her and not on her family or her "mysterious" origins.

The agent is nervous during the big press conference that will officially mark Dodora's return, as everyone is expecting Dodora to change. She stuns them all by sticking to a simple, yet sweet design. She had broken from Mercury Era to stay true to herself, and she'll keep doing that!

Connections

-Mercury Era is the modern version of Flying Star Entertainment. You can learn more about his investment and eventual purchase of the company in his Reflection for Glittering Era.

-The reason Dodora wants to keep her family and past a secret is because she is an Envoy, arriving here after the death of the God of Styling (see Leonid's Reflection for Prophecy for more). She had lost her memories at first, was taken in by a kind family, and now she's a powerful influencer who doesn't age like normal humans.

Fun Facts

-This Reflection may be short, but it's a perfect example of the Unreliable Narrator storytelling device. The agent is such a huge fan that they can't see Dodora's faults. And at first glance, Dodora seems like a spoiled diva - until you learn she's an Envoy and trying to keep it a secret.

-Each Envoy is connected to one (or more, in Caprico's case) country in Miraland, and Dodora is tied to Ninir. All her suits (except for the December Troupe suit) are Indexed under Ninir.

Originally when I wrote this song, it says “we are the kings”. I felt it was important to stress that the girls I envisioned are not answerable to anyone. They make their own rules. During production, they changed “kings” to “queens”. I realize I did not mind, since it gave the song another empowering angle. Both Anne and I are LGBTQ+ allies. By saying “we are the queens”, the song gets a whole other colorful and empowering dimension.

What a great pain it is to accept your otherness

Which some call sensitivity, empathy, giftedness or indigo-ness

And to still live in the rigid structures

Of this world at this time

And to be finger pointed at

To be more practical

And more street-wise

To be a go-getter

And push for what you want

And must get

How can we explore and view this

Great dilemma of being true to you

And being practical?

First of all we must discern

The different little you’s

Within the great You that you are

Within the great You — the One Vibration

The One Undulating Ocean

Are many little vibrations or waves

That come and go, some are

More apparent as your personality

In this lifetime and some are

Other-dimensional aspects that

Flit in and out of your experience

These little waves all have a point of view

(Is a point of you)

And want their wants and to say their say

And they must be allowed their voice

Within the One

But know yourself as the Vast One—

The ocean or mother parent first

So that the little ones can be understood

And truly heard

And when all the myriad little ones have been truly heard as the waves that they are

Within the great parent or mother ocean

And not confused with the sound of the great parent self

Then the great parent self can be heard without noise and you shall walk on the path of your destiny

I use the one and three method of foraging. I collect one, and let the next three be.

This minimizes the footprintI put upon this beautiful earth.

Never over forage.

You may not know this but you created an unfathomably complex game with incredibly high stakes to play against yourself. When you entered this game, you forgot and got lost. So you sent yourself in to help and save yourself. Be of service to others and have integrity. Otherwise you won't progress and you are only fooling yourself.

Chapter 3: Sweet Moment

Narrated by the agent.

Narrator: Dodora's interview makes headlines everywhere. The studio then holds a press conference to announce her entry into the idol selection.

Narrator: One camera after another awaits Dodora at the venue.

Narrator: This is her first press conference under the name of her own studio.

Narrator: All of the reporters start speaking to their respective cameras.

Reporter: Hello. As you can see, this is the first press conference from Dodora's studio.

Reporter: You must all be wondering if Dodora will lean into her scandal on the net and adopt a more mature, sexier look?

Reporter: Or will she be in something regal for a return-of-the-queen story?

Reporter: Oh, here she comes!

Narrator: The crowd stirs as countless lenses flash in succession.

Narrator: Everything is going great, yet I'm more nervous than Dodora.

Narrator: I stand backstage, providing moral support as usual.

Narrator: She takes the stage to a lively tune.

Narrator: No one expected her to be in a plain, cute wool dress with a girly handbag, looking like a show biz rookie

Dodora: Sorry to keep you waiting!

Narrator: Her sweet voice is music to the ear.

Live Fans: Dodora! Dodora!

Dodora: Be careful! Please watch where you're going and don't step on others!

Reporter: Excuse me, Dodora, but did you come in a mundane outfit because you can't sustain a more lavish lifestyle after losing the contract?

Dodora: No, of course not! I designed this cute outfit myself. Doesn't it remind you of when I first got started?

Dodora: I'm wearing this to let everyone know that I'm going back to the old me with my new studio.

Narrator: After that, she winks playfully to all the cameras.

Dodora: Hello, everyone, I'm Dodora and I'm back!
