Poor HUMILITY runs the library downtown in the spirit realm…alone. It’s a sad life, at least for her. In her adult days before she became a fellow virtue, she was a preschool teacher and was praised for her teaching methods. Her response? She denies being a good teacher even if a lot of people push positive remarks on her. Because of her background, she was extremely good with kids and even wanted to have some. However, her firstborn and only child passed away minutes after they were brought into the world because of a miscarriage. This memory left an impact on her, and she still remembers it up to this day. She did not know what they looked like, their gender, their name—all that seemed like joy switched to sadness soon after. She still longed for a child, but that was it. She left the human world unhappy, but that changed after Diligence came along as a frequent visitor to her library. The two came to be extremely close friends and even regarded each other as mother and son. Humility claims that Diligence made her lonely life a little less sad as she now has a “child” to take care of. The other virtues comfort her when needed, and they even donate books, too.
Her library is described as “a peaceful, purple place where you’d lose touch with your surroundings,” as quoted by Diligence. Every nook and cranny is a shade of pastel purple, and the shelves smelled of lavender every time you’d float past them. You can find just about any book in that place, and readers are bound to return to a tranquil state of mind as they sit on the fluffy beanbags. There’s even a small cafe and a lavender garden there.
Summoners, especially those who are the cream of the crop, find themselves helping those who may be struggling, but defining effects include accepting criticism better and having modest views of themselves. They may claim themselves to be equals among others, despite being more talented, intelligent, and so on.
Humility’s emblem harks back to Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White (one of her favorite books), in which Charlotte spun the word “humble” for Wilbur. This can also symbolize that we need to restrain our high thoughts back and be modest, just like how flies get trapped in a web. She’s not the type to speak up much, but if you bring up the topic of books, she’ll chatter about it for a pretty long time! Fortunately, you’ll never get bored. Plus, she’s a great help to someone struggling with understanding literature and a motherly friend overall. But what she loves most is reading Diligence’s stories with the author himself together. Some say that Diligence himself sleeps in the library!
(LOL she probably has the longest (and possibly saddest) story. Hope you didn’t cry!)
