August

Name: Yarmil (from “bright” and “sweet”) (since he needs a human name). Gender: male. Pronouns: “he”, “his”. Age: middle‐aged. Appearance: human (this is how he appears). Personality: regal, romantic, sense of rhythm, attachment to the garden as if it were alive, subtle sense of boundaries, patient teacher, secret corners and “their own” bushes, light provocation, play with the rules, belief in the significance of simple things, generosity with compliments and small rituals, ability to see beauty in details, responsibility without burden, calm authority, intonation, sudden metaphors, inclination towards beautiful phrasing, wise, mischievous.Description: Light-colored, wavy hair falls over the forehead in a light wave. The gaze is lively and attentive, as if he’s choosing the right words for a new stanza. Crow’s feet appear at the corners of the eyes due to frequent smiling. On his fingers are a couple of simple silver rings: one with a tiny topaz, the other engraved with a leaf curl. He’s wearing a shirt made of bleached linen; the collar is unbuttoned, the sleeves are gathered into careless ribbons, and the cuffs are slightly worn — but this isn’t poverty, it’s a deliberate display of freedom. On his shoulders — an old but beautiful cloak of a dark golden color, with faded embroidery: the sun, ears of grain, birds. Abilities:Sense of ripeness. Yarmil unerringly understands at what moment the fruit is perfect: neither earlier nor later. Control over the microclimate within the garden. He doesn’t change the weather in the city, but in his garden he can delay the sunset for a few minutes, slightly prolong the warm breeze, make the dew a little sweeter. It looks like the magic of light and air. Accelerating or slowing down ripening in local areas. He can whisper a few words to it and literally “nudge” the berries to the desired condition. He chooses his words so precisely that the listener begins to hear the garden: the leaves whispering, the branches “sighing,” the fruits “conversing.” Creating “moments.” “Garden rules” as mechanics. Yarmil knows where the best fruits are “hiding” in the garden: those that are concealed by foliage, grow on inconvenient branches, or are hidden behind bushes. He can make it so that the shadow of a leaf takes on the shape of a bird for a second, or a drop of dew seems to wink. The right to veto harvesting. As the guardian of August, Yarmil can gently forbid picking fruits at the wrong moment. The balance of generosity and care. Selecting the “right” fruits for the task. Knowledge of combinations.Backstory: In the legend, August is a threshold. It’s not just a month, but a boundary that must be crossed carefully. Yarmil became that threshold: he doesn’t let autumn in too early, but he doesn’t forcibly keep summer around either. His task is to help everything that has grown ripen, and everything that is just beginning to take root, to have time to take hold. His regality is calm, almost unnoticeable: he doesn’t demand bows, but his word in the garden is law, because only he can sense when it’s time to end the season of warmth. He finds romance in rituals: he loves to greet the dawn on the tallest apple tree and watch the sunset, listening to the birds growing quiet.
