Editing Character:Lavender Fields (section)

== Character Description ==

Lavender Fields was a finger puppet who lived happily in Puppettown in Maker's Land: going to bed when the sky showed the stars, waking up when it showed the sun, talking to her neighbour Sally Red Buttons, going boating on the Lake of Milk and Cookies, and generally enjoying the life of a carefree puppet in Puppettown.  All this changed though, when one day the stars failed to disappear, the sun didn't come out, and the Maker didn't rise up from within his castle to greet all the puppets.

Now Lavender lives the life of a puppet in Punch's Puppetland, and she generally doesn't enjoy it: watching what you say, making things for Punch, slaving under eternal stars, and basically being worried and unhappy.

One day, while one of Punch's parades was passing through the town &mdash; &quot;BE HAPPY OR ELSE&quot;, &quot;PUNCH IS BETTER THAN THE MAKER&quot; &mdash; she happened to say aloud, to no one in particular &quot;''Oh, I hate that mean old Mr. Punch. Things were so much better when the Maker was still around.''&quot;  The other puppets around her grew quiet and slowly backed away.  And then she heard it, the clack-clack-clacking of those horrible Nutcrackers that they said ate puppet stuffing.

Lavender ran for her life, down alleys and side-streets, until she eventually found a dark space where she could hide until the Nutcrackers were gone.  Now she's searching for the village of Respite, where Judy is said to live, in the hopes that the rumours <em>are</em> true and she knows how to bring back the Maker and happiness to Puppetland.
