Aconite hasn’t always been a poison to society, fueled by rage. Born as Willow, she grew up in a large village on the edge of a monumental rainforest, shunned by villagers for her lavender hair and sage-green eyes. Willow’s fascination with plants set her apart, but they didn’t know she was blessed with a once-in-a-thousand-year gift– the ability to alter the chemical composition of any plant. Her mother, Liana, was the only one who knew her secret.

One fateful day, a villager on the brink of death, was saved by Willow’s gift. Word spread, and two days later, government officials stormed their home, killing Liana and kidnapping Willow for experimentation. Years passed in a haze of agony and anger until she escaped to the rainforest that had once been her sanctuary. There the girl named Willow was no more, in her place stood Aconite–a vengeful force with a deadly gift.

With the power to make any plant poisonous, Aconite returned to her village, determined to avenge her mother’s death. She would hunt down every last agent responsible, using the very nature that they had underestimated to bring them to their knees. In the end, they will all learn–Anconite’s wrath was as boundless as the forest itself.
