Notes: So I finally got some inspiration for this collection again, although it's a repeat character. Nonetheless, please enjoy.
Bruise
She has learned how to hide them now, covered up with the magic of make-up. It takes different amounts depending on how healed the bruise is, something she can only tell by the differing colors that spread across her skin. Purple and blue mark newer, less-healed injuries, and she is careful to use the most make-up and most care for those dark ones. Green and yellow are mostly healed spots that speckle the areas between blue and purple, but those are tough in their own way, trying to blend in with her skin and make her forget to cover them up.
Smiling as she closes her make-up bag, she tucks it into her school bag for touch-up work as needed. One hand heading to her necklace in an unconscious gesture, she heads down the stairs, toes her shoes on and heads off to a day of the mundane.
