Description Once upon a land of midnight dreams, many would sleep soundly as the night sounds filled the air. What these people may never know is that a mysterious presence creeps into their homes. It dares to not make a single sound to wake the dreamers. It only comes to take something valuable and goes without a trace.

If ever there was a mind awake at night, they might catch a glimpse of this so called presence, a mysterious hooded figure. This figure happens to go to a graveyard, the land between life and death, and would calmly stop by a grave to knock on their gravestones, have those of the dead appear and present them the thing to which it has stolen and give to them.

For years, this figure would find it's way into many homes and steal valuables to give to the dead. They might even recall the figure being that of a female and gave her the name "Lunar Thief" because of how she glows like the stars and moonlit light in the sky. They believe this being to be a ghost in disguise. Who this Lunar Thief is might always be the biggest mystery of them all.

I'm having a hard time getting her story together. I got a few other characters thought of along with a possible story.

Ah, I know that feeling well.  There are some stories I've been trying to write for years but *something* is just missing.  ^^ 
I would like to know what else you've thought of for her, if you don't mind sharing it with me.  ^^  She seems like an interesting character.

What an interesting character! I wonder why she feels the need to present the dead with valuables.

I love the atmosphere you've achieved here, the branches almost feel like fingers reaching out to steal the moon. I really like how she glows, really draws your eye to her. My only qualm would be that I'm not sure I can quite make out what she is holding, is it  an ornament, a snow globe? Either way beautiful work!

Thank you. She's holding onto a snow globe. It kind of looks weird in this way and stuff.

This is pretty cool. I like your background. The grave stones were done really well.

Thank you. They have knockers so that the dead can rise and the thief can present to them what they want or need to rest in peace.

hmm... interesting. This must be part of a story you started then?

I did so on the description. I plan of finishing a part.2 of the thief's backstory.
