Design Strategy
Nina Nymph is from a very high profile family in The Meadow. She is popular for her beauty and status. Her father is responsible for importing the pollen from the bees and exporting it out to the pixies for distribution. When Nina turns twenty one she is ecstatic to join the family business however, there is a shocking turn of events. Nina’s family is actually laundering pixie dust, The Meadow’s most menacing drug, with pollen as a front. Cracking under the pressure of keeping her family’s secret, Nina breaks their number one rule : “Don’t get high on your own supply.” This narrative follows Nina’s weird and wonderful hallucinations as she snorts pixie dust to deal with her inner conflict.
