🌙 Stella, the Ribbon Witch
Stella never tied a ribbon merely to hold something in place.
Every knot carried an intention. A ribbon wrapped around a candle could keep a hope burning through the longest night; one tied to a broom might guide a traveler home. And when Stella wound a ribbon around her wrist, even fate seemed willing to listen.
Beneath the autumn moon, Stella and her black cat, Sable 🐈✨, gathered wishes caught among the fallen leaves. She braided them into the ribbons trailing from her broom, while the smallest became golden stars scattered across her gown.
Those who found a ribbon tied neatly at their door by morning knew that Stella had heard their wish—and somewhere, quietly, the magic had already begun. ✨
