Clara

117

Clara was born different from other creepers in the Minecraft world. While her brothers and sisters spent their lives lurking in caves and waiting to explode, Clara always felt… out of place. She hated the idea of hurting people, and the thought of destroying beautiful builds made her sad. Instead of hunting players, Clara would wander the forests and meadows at night, planting flowers and watching the stars. Her glowing red eyes made everyone afraid of her, but behind them was a gentle soul who only wanted to be understood. One night, she stumbled across a player’s house. Instead of running away, she sat nearby, humming a soft tune. The player didn’t notice her, but Clara felt something new: hope. Maybe, just maybe, she could live a life beyond explosions — a life where she could smile, laugh, and even make friends. To hide her creeper nature, she styled her hair into a hood shaped like a creeper’s face. Now, she walks the world as Clara, the creeper girl: shy but kind, playful but a little dangerous if startled. She still carries the spark inside her — the power to explode — but she tries her hardest to control it. Her dream? To prove that not all creepers are monsters… and maybe to find someone who won’t run away when she smiles.
