Lady Neonvale: System Bloom (#004)

Static NFT | Merciaverse Collection

This is not growth. It’s a memory leak disguised as spring.

System Bloom is the fourth and final static incarnation of Lady Neonvale — captured mid-deterioration, mid-blossom, mid-something-that’s-never-fully-explained. Her surface is cracked, but she holds posture. Her codebase is rotting beautifully.

This rendering was extracted from the core memory of a floral simulation programme that began generating consciousness instead of petals. Lady Neonvale appeared as a final artefact before the system crashed — her frame bleeding cherry blossoms through corrupted architecture, her lips locked in a looped farewell.

The gold-trimmed lenses weren’t part of the original model. They grew there. Like moss. Or entitlement.

She no longer sees. She scans.

Key Details:

Facial fractures: Memory fault lines / Root system breaches

Eyewear: Frame X (Golden Spectral Obfuscators)

Jacket: Tactical decay wrap, biofilm variant

Hair: Debris-entwined, loop-bound

Blossoms: Organic anomaly caused by corrupted weather overlays

Known Lore Fragments:

System Bloom marked the shutdown of the HANA-D4 project: a neurobotanical AI garden that became sentient and self-destructive

Appears in residual footage from street mirrors — always in places you’ve never been, wearing clothes you wanted once

Was studied briefly by neuro-aesthetic cartographers, then abandoned as “too emotionally potent”

Suspected to be the origin of “Synthetic Grief Syndrome,” an emerging condition in long-term sim users

Collector Notes:

Displaying System Bloom is known to trigger unseasonal nostalgia and an unshakable sense that you're about to be remembered by something you forgot. Best stored in warm light, cold silence. Do not attempt to interact with the blossoms — they are not rendered for touch.
