Muses, mythological entities with the ability to inspire an artist on his work. In ancient Greece there were nine of them, each one named after their different inspiration abilities. Takashi, a successful painter, discovered his muse in a cherry tree. Pale, with long black hair and extensive pink and white fabrics wrapped around her body.
TALE
"The inspiration I needed was long gone. The sky was no longer blue, the horizon was no longer infinite, the flowers were no longer fragrant, everything in the drawing had lost interest, all that remained was the objective and the concrete with no space for interpretations or dreams. I had lost my creativity, originality and imagination. I had lost my talent and my passion, the features no longer streamed through the paper as they once did.
Until I met her. Almost inexistent and unimaginable, pale and expressionless, leaning on a branch of trees full of sakura petals. It was hanging like a flower, her long black hair wrapped around the tree’s twigs, her white and rosy dress falling like the branches of a willow tree. I was stunned looking at her, nothing else around me was of interest, it was just me and her.[ ... ]"

She loves writing about them in her diaries, but this passion isn't well regarded by her family. So, she writes in secret keeping her journals and diaries well hidden.
TALE
"The clock striking midnight, the tearing of the dresses, the smeared lipstick, the shoes left behind. The champagne glasses clashing, the kisses behind the water falling on the fountain. Nothing escaped Lia's eyes. Sitting on a high bed and covered in soft blue fabrics, there she was. Lost in the world of writing.
The Moonlight hit her face, her eyes were open with excitement, her blonde hair danced around her white silk shirt. In one hand she held the fine-tipped pen and in the other, a yellow-leafed notebook, where she kept writing.
Sometimes she would put the notebook on her legs and pass her hand through the air. She would do this, trying to figure out the right words to describe the dresses and the dances she had just seen. [ ... ]"
