"I heard her parents abandoned her in the woods when she was
a baby!"
Myth. Poppy had lived with her parents for five months of her first year of
life, but they were killed in a tragic storm. Her wonderful grandmother took
her into her cabin in the forest and taught Poppy all the wonderful ways of
grandmas - baking, knitting, quilting, keeping scrapbooks, etc.
"Well, I heard she always wears red because she's part of a cult that makes her
wear the weird hood!"
Myth. Poppy just likes the color red-- besides, sometimes she doesn't
know when it's going to rain (her grandmother's cabin doesn't really
have television) so it's best to always be prepared!!
"Someone told me that her grandmother was a mean witch!"
Myth. Poppy's granny was the sweetest, kindest, most fantastic person
on this planet. She was always soft spoken and happy. Poppy took it really,
really hard when she passed away - it was like losing a part of herself
and a parental figure all at once. She wasn't sure how to handle it.
"I heard that the weird wolfman that lives in the woods had something
to do with it!"
Myth! Lykaon is their landscaper - he kept the yard nice and trimmed
and the trees looking beautiful. He'd always been nice to Poppy, even
if she was a bit intimidated by him.
"The wolf is evil!"
Myth! He's not a bad man- just .. rather secretive and to himself!
Poppy likes him fine. He brings her muffins and other goodies since
her grandma passed away. He's really kind... eeeeven if he's a little
spooky and quiet.
"Well. I KNOW Poppy is a horrible witch!"
Um... Myth! Poppy isn't a witch, and she isn't horrible, she's just
... um... dabbling in the unknown. She misses her grandmother dearly,
and with the amount of bullying she receives at school, she doesn't have
any close friends. She'd do anything to get her grandma back-- so she
started playing with the supernatural and started practicing curses...
"just in case."
B-Besides, that doesn't even count as witch stuff! she's just trying to talk
to her grandma!! it's that wolf who's putting curses on everyone in town,
probably!! Why is everyone blaming Poppy for sweet little Sally slipping at
dance practice and twisting her ankle and, therefore, not being able to do
the talent show that Poppy is also dancing in?? S-She had nothing to do with that!!
