7am: October 5, 1965

The bright sun’s rays pierce through the crisp green leaves that covered Oxyfay’s windows. The sunlight hits her soft eyelids, inviting her to open them and experience the world’s new day. She lifts her arms in lenient motion. Stretching out all the crinks and knicks that the previous night's dreams brought. Oxyfay rubs her eyes to help them refocus to the new brightness in her room.

(Her home, everyone’s home was made of tree roots and branches. After generations of pixies living in The Grey Woods, the trees adapted to their new living accommodations. The trees formed into a connection of roads, homes, windows, walls, and elegant structures.)

Every few days it is recommended that the wood type faires (such as Oxyfay) to trim off excess leaves and weeds from her body. Different steps apply to different types of pixies. After trimming off excess sprouts, wood fairies must also sooth all the rough patches which occur due to harsh weather, intense events, or fighting. Oxyfay uses either tree sap or oils from other plants to fill these patches. The next part of her morning routine is to drop dew into her cartoon-sized eyes for clearer eyesight. Using dew drops helps coat the outer layer of her eyes to help protect against mixtures of wind a dust when she is flying around the community or on a job. Right before leaving her tree hut, she cleans up her bed by fluffing her dandelion pillow and fixing her soft leaf blanket.

After her morning routine, Oxyfay heads out of her hut and turns left. The left road turns into the veteran hall. This hall has all the bodies and names of each pixie who fought in the war against the Trolls. Oxyfay pays her respects to all of her siblings and the other veterans who volunteered to fight for their race and their freedom. The hall is massive. It can take roughly two hours to visit every single gravestone. Oxyfay does this everyday. She does this to help her self mourn her community’s mass murders. She is also next in line to rule The Grey Woods after her father. So visiting these graves also helps the citizens approve of her more fully. Some still blame her for the deaths of her siblings.

Oxyfay then walks out of the hall and heads straight back to her home. Once she reaches her front door she turns right which heads outside the royalty chambers of the The Grey Woods tree huts. Outside the royal chambers is the rest of the community. There are homes, hospitals, restaurants, gardens, weaponry, and markets all around. Each busness gives Oxyfay their products to help her. For example the restaurant's feed her lunch when she visits. Oxyfay’s job as a princess is to check up on main properties of her residential area. She notes how productions are going, how safe the area is, and if anyone needs help. The notes she writes are given to her Father and Mother so they can act upon such events occurring within their reign.

By the time her check ups were done, it was early evening. Meaning it was time to check her notice board. The notice board is an invisible board that only key members in each region know of. Sort of like a cartel of jobs of Oxyfay to complete. Her secret...is that she is an assassin for each region. The notice board helps Oxyfay locate who asked for a specific person to be killed. The only requirement is that Oxyfay will not kill without valid validation and reason. Her parents do not know that she does. Oxyfay uses her secret career to earn the respect and to gain allies around the world.

As evening dawns down on the pixie realm, Oxyfay heads back to her hut to lower suspicion about her secret job. Once in her room, she uses dark sap and war paint to cover herself in blackness to hide in the shadows and head to the different regions of the world. Some nights she has2 jobs other nights she can have as high as 7 jobs. She heads out into the night and returns roughly between the times of 1:30am and 3:00am. Oxyfay then cleans off the paint and sinks into slumber by 2:00am or 4:00am.

Then the routine continues, roughly the same everyday.
