Are You An Easter Bunny?

Meet Nukki

People like to believe in simple answers.

A bunny leaves eggs?
A holiday brings gifts?
Something small, harmless, easy to picture?

The truth — whatever it is — doesn’t usually look like that.

Deep in a forest most people don’t bother mapping, there’s a grove that doesn’t quite behave like the rest of the world. Fruit grows where it shouldn’t. Decorations show up where no one placed them. Baskets, eggs, ribbons… all the things people swear appeared overnight near their homes.

They had to come from somewhere.

And if someone follows that trail far enough, past the edges of where people usually stop looking, they might find the place where it all gathers instead of disappears.

That’s where Nukki is.

A massive tanuki woman who treats the grove like it’s hers, because, in a way, it is. She spends her time resting, eating, decorating, and leaving little things behind without thinking too hard about where they’ll end up. Painted eggs, woven baskets, bits of color scattered through the forest like an afterthought that somehow turned into tradition.

She likes rabbits. Thinks they’re cute.

So she made a few things inspired by them.

That probably didn’t help.

Nukki isn’t trying to be anything in particular. She isn’t playing a role, and she isn’t keeping up a legend on purpose. She just does what she enjoys, taking care of her space, making things look nice, and leaving behind whatever she feels like making.

If people turned that into something bigger…

She hasn’t really seen a reason to correct them.
