Her eyes are often shown wide with wonder and shining with stars as she observes the growth of the plants and the excitement of Elena. Wisteria is small and plump, with full, ruffled skirts and cloak and a mass of wildly curling, pale violet hair.
Their body types vary also, from the more “traditional” sylph-like fairies and small, chubby children to non-gendered sprites, full, robust bodies, and a plethora of hair styles. Red and purple tones predominate, with Wisteria and her fellow sprites showing a range of skin colors, from reddish-purple (Wisteria) to dark purple, pale green, and peach. This simple fable of community and gardening is lushly illustrated. But what will happen when the human, Elena, discovers Wisteria? Intrigued by the young human who is trying to tend it, Wisteria starts to use her own magic and skill to make the garden bloom. Wisteria feels left out by the close friendships of the other sprites and their knowledge of the area, so she goes looking around on her own and finds a neglected, dying garden. Years have passed and a new sprite has come to town. The humans seemed to do just fine on their own, so the sprites settled back to watch, feeling they were no longer needed. When humans came and built a town in the sprites’ home, things didn’t change-much. A long time ago, sprites used to care for the gardens of earth, working with magic and skill to tend and grow.
