You sat in the city garden, planting flowers with your magic. You weren't really known for using any sort of magic because you liked keeping it a secret. You used the lost magic: Great Tree Arc. You don't know really how you started learning it, it just sort of happened.

You're entire life you had always loved flowers and playing around in the dirt when you had to plant them. It made you forget about all you're responsibilities. It was pure bliss.

The best part about knowing this lost magic was when someone saw you, that you didn't like or you didn't know, planting things and came up to you could run and hide in the tree. To the few people who had known about your magic, they called you by the name Nymph.

It wasn't uncommon for you to here rumours spread about the 'Great Nymph' joining Sabertooth. These always made you giggle, you had no intention at all of joining any guild. You just visited the guild a lot because of your best friend Yukino.

"(Y/N)-sama I don't know why you don't really join the guild. We would love having you." her soft voice whisked its way to your ear.

"But I don't like being in the limelight y'know?" you pushed the straw around in your smoothie and looked at her. The two of you were out to lunch, you didn't like how you guys were talking about this now.

"I really want to go on missions with you! It'd be so much fun!" a blush went on her cheeks as she poked at her salad. A grin formed on your face from her shyness.

"I'll think of it for you Yukino-sama." you sipped up some of the smoothie.

Yukino's eyes lit up and she kept across the table to hug you, "Oh yay (Y/N)!"

"Y-Yukino!" you blushed at her sudden leap of happiness. "W-we're in public!" you pushed her away softly and saw the blush form on her face.

"If you want to join the guild then come to the guildhall tomorrow at any time!" she stood up and bowed before running off.

"Tch. Yukino you're so convincing." you paid for both of your drinks then walked by yourself.

There the (H/C) was, bright and early the next morning in front of Sabertooth's front door. Her hand was in a fist as she debated about knocking or just entering. It would be silly to not just enter, but the curvy girl knew their reputation. So the polite way would be the right way. She inhaled deeply letting her hand fall to the handle.

"Ano, are you going to stand there all day?" you whipped around to see Rogue.

"Eeeeh?!" you jumped backwards into the door since you had no clue he was just right there. "O-oh gomen." you bowed before entering the guild and running to Yukino, you practically hid behind her. The dark haired Mage chuckled before wandering to Sting.

"I'm so happy you came (Y/N)-chan!" the girl squeaked and squeezed you tightly.

"Y-Yukinoooo!" you whined and wiggled around.

"Sting-sama!" she dragged you over to him. Wait... Why was she taking you to Sting and not the Guild Master? "(Y/N) wants to join the guild!"

"Great! We always want knew people!" he smiled warmly.

"Ano..." you mumbled fidgeting, "shouldn't we ask the guild Master?" a hearty laugh left Sting's mouth.

"I am the guild Master." your jaw dropped as you looked at him. "Welcome to the guild!"

Everyone had cheered when he welcomed you happily. Almost instantly you were ushered to get the guilds stamp. You decided to get it on the side of your right thigh in (F/C). You could just barely see it in your signature outfit, short shorts, a white tank top and an oversized unbuttoned male dress shirt. The shirt would cover the top half of it.
