Count down with me--Day 4



I talked a bit about "The Colorless Thief" in the Big Idea post here. This is the first colorful island story I ever wrote.
I still wonder how the people on this island name their children. One of the characters here, Dai, was actually named something like Peach or Pomegranate, just making people around him call him Dai because he doesn't think his personality goes with these colors. Most people of the island don't do this. The colorful are named after their color, naturally, but how the colorless are named...that's still a mystery to me.

The protagonist, Hai, is a labradorite person. Her name indicates "grey," her colorlessness despite her being colorful, but also the Japanese name for labradorite includes the word "hai." (This "hai" is not pronounced hai, though.)
I made this weird thing for her.
