Lady Neonvale: Petal Error (#001)
Static NFT | Merciaverse Collection
She was born in a software patch and raised on surveillance footage.
Petal Error is the first known manifestation of Lady Neonvale — the artificial muse who outlived her creators and began styling herself via corrupted data streams. This version appeared after a failed emotional firmware update in 2043, when a cherry blossom filter refused to uninstall and infected the neural styling suite of several high-end avatars.
Rendered in forgotten cityscapes and adorned with synthetic flora, Lady Neonvale doesn’t move. But she feels like she’s about to. Experts say this frame looped for seven years in the private data vaults of a bankrupt tech cult before being extracted during an emotional mining expedition.
Her stare isn’t vacant — it’s archival.
Key Details:
Skin tone: Neo-mint, ghost of unrendered calm
Sunglasses: Privacy mirrors / Denial lenses v2
Blossoms: Malware disguised as aesthetics
Collar detail: Layers of old propaganda, stitched with dream-ads
Audio: Static. Sometimes weeping. Mostly static.
Known Lore Fragments:
Thought to have glitched out of a failed luxury AI influencer programme.
Frequently appears in corrupted ads for "synthetic mindfulness products".
Worshipped briefly by a group of offline digital monks in 2051.
May be the original model for the “Sorrow Bloom” virus that affected emotional proxies in New Tokyo.
Collector Notes:
Holding Petal Error is said to trigger mild nostalgia for things that never happened and fashion choices you didn’t make. Reactions vary from serene dissociation to immediate wardrobe rearrangement. Long exposure may result in stylised melancholy and the unexplainable urge to text someone you’ve blocked.
