Name: Daphne
Gender: Female
Prompt Answer: How does this viscet feel about their home
When she was small, she had a love hate relationship with her grandparents' lighthouse. As much as she loved seeing her grandparents and enjoyed the charm of taking care of the property with her pop pop and grammy, the lighthouse's charm would gradually ware off. As fun as exploring the tower, the beach below, and the land around the building could be, doing the same thing day after day each summer became dull. A few weeks in, she usually began to feel isolated, alone, lonely, and above all bored. She missed her school friends, the playground, and the black and white tv her parents bought last year- more specifically the Addams family. However as the summer usually went along she began to enjoy the quiet life, the taste of sea salt from the ocean breeze, and the adventures that awaited her in her grandparents' stories. Not to mention the mysterious creatures her grandparents took her on long outings to see, which at first seemed like a waste of time, but in the end was defiantly worth it due to a sightings what she and her grandparents' could only imagine to be sea monsters. All of which her parents later discredited with notions of fairy tales and stories to keep her from becoming something silly like a sailor or a something else pirate, searching the endless sea for new land and a fantastic adventure. After the first few trips she thought they told her such thing because they wanted her to believe she could do anything she wanted to and didn't have anything to fear. It wasn't until after her third or fourth summer there did she stopped believing them. As her grandparents' conspiracy consumed any doubt of monstrous creatures of sea existing.
It was these happy memories that drew her back to it when she was old enough to in a sense, inherit it. It wasn't initially going to her, rather to her uncle who lived on the other end of what seemed like the planet. However when things with her grandparents went south, and both her uncle and her parents wanted to sell the place and put her grandparents in a home, but since they didn't want to leave, Daphne decided to spend her gap year helping her grandparent with their daily activities and lighthouse upkeep. To really get a sense of the old place before having to say a final goodbye to her childhood summer home. With every passing day she fell more in love with her grandparents' home and the daily tasks that came with it. Perhaps it was the comfort of having a daily routine, the importance the light from her grandparents' house provided for outgoing and incoming ships, her family's history with the building, or the feeling of impending doom that was the estate's eventual sale. The closer the year's end came the more Daphne felt herself longing the days she dreaded coming here. Dreading the eventual end that was like a reaper coming for her pop pop, grammy, and their house. For as excited as she'd always been to go and see glimpses of strange creatures, sightings were too little and far to between.
Daphne wrote both her uncle and her parents many times, each of which ended in the bin beside her bed. She couldn't bring herself to leave the light house, or at least desperately didn't want to, and yet.. didn't want to give up attending school or abandon her studies. However when new years came close, she couldn't put it off any longer. She hadn't reapplied to her choice school, and doubted her choice classes were still available. Without much of a choice, Daphne felt herself forced to write both her parents and her uncle asking they hold off selling the property for another year so that she could continue to care for her grandparents where they desired to spend their remaining years. The letter she received from parents was filled with mixed feelings on her decision to stay, and the one from her uncle was almost down right rude, but in the end it wasn't really either of their choices to make, because as her grandfather insisted, they didn't have the right to make any financial decisions concerning their well being unless he wasn't in his right mind and he was still as sharp as a nail. A tad rusty, sure, but still sharp! Her grandmother on the other hand... well the financial decision and the rights to the property belonged to her grandfather so there really wasn't a need to worry about anyone selling the place due to the old viscet's mind slipping.
Still, she worried about the house she'd come to call home during her stay, her uncertain future, and her grandparents' health. Her fears were realized later that year upon her grandmothers' passing, as almost immediately her grandfather took a turn for the worst. He hardly left the house, took interest in his sea monster conspiracies, or did anything to maintain the light, claiming that there wasn't a light bright enough to replace the one that'd gone out with his beautiful bride. It was during this time that all light house responsibilities fell on Daphne's shoulders, and her grandfather rewrote his will to leave their beloved house to someone who would keep it in the family. This troubled Daphne as she was unsure of what she wanted out of life. Sure she wanted the lighthouse, but she also wanted more or at least the option for it.
When her grandfather passed away, she hired someone to turn the light off in the morning, on again at night, and to leave the rest undisturbed; before promptly leaving to do some soul searching. Her holiday however was short lived, as she returned a few weeks later

Is this still open, or has it been ended?

I've been asked to judge this, at the request of Mint Chip.

So after some serious debating, I've selected milo. as the winner! So congrats! I feel like your form might have not been the longest of the three serious forms, however, I feel as if you put quite a bit of thought into it. The art also helped tip you over the edge.
I would also like to say, Macyduke and Gadgetrocks. Your forms were just right behind Milo's. This was tough to decide between you three. This being a readopt, I can't give you any HM's, but I did want to give you both a shout out.

[Macyduke]

Thanks for the shout out Strudel!
I had a lot of fun writing but got to burnt out to finish my forum before the comp ended.

Congrats Milo! I read your forum and it defiantly deserved to win. I can see why Strudel picked it <3
