Things Are Looking Up 7 [Sketch]

"Ohmygosh it's so pretty!  I never thought I'd be able to see the whole planet like this."

Charity shook her head, waking herself up from a dreamy sense of complacency enjoying her paw-slurps. Hm?

"It looks so cute I just want to touch it..."

... Oooh dear.

Stretching nearly a dozen times longer than the planet's diameter, a gigantic claw poked through space until it ever-so-gently tapped against an ocean. Instantly, sheets of ice roared across the entire hemisphere, the lower portions of the world gleaming translucent blue as hundreds of miles vanished beneath endless frost.
"Oh no! Too close! Sorry! I think I might have just frozen the southern hemisphere. Sorry about that! It'll fix itself, I promise!"

Charity turned to scowl up at the young woman's face looming before her, a childish shy smile bearing the best of intentions. Two pink-purple eyes shone brightly down upon her, belonging to a teenage Sneasel wrapped up snug in a warm winter coat. You certainly did, young lady, and I certainly hope it will...

Biting her lip gently, Lumi nodded and blushed. "Oh dear, I need to keep my claws to myself next time!"

I would recommend it, Miss Lumimyrsky, Charity sighed. And, really! Take your claw away already, people are getting cold down here!

"Oh! Right!" Lumi immediately yanked her clawtip away, giggling nervously as she watched the globe rapidly return to its normal state (aside from the presence of several unusually large figures). "S-Sorry, heh. See? Good as new!"


It seems the overabundance of extremely large water types has left a cold chill in the northern hemisphere, as Lumi's gotten exceptionally big!  Lumimyrsky Talvinen, a resident of a small mining village in Svalbard, is a protector and guardian of her village. Her abilities enable the village to operate in the most extreme of temperatures, and also to help protect, find, and save people in the most harsh conditions planet Earth has to offer. Lumi is a size shifter, in that she can grow as much as she wants under normal Svalbard conditions.  However if she's too warm, she will find it harder to grow, and if she's too cold, she will find it hard to NOT grow.  As such, she has a phobia of growing beyond a certain limit, where the coldness of space will cause her to grow infinitely.  Strangely, she seems extremely relaxed right now. Perhaps she is near something particularly warm?
