Each week Port Argentium's favorite huggable moth learns a new word. Each new word will help her increase her vocabulary in hopes that one day she will be able to speak as cool as a native speaker! The word of the week will be posted here, she can either learn the word on her own or meet someone from the town. If you are interested in having an interaction with Idalia and teach her a word, let me know. I am Cinnatato Roll in the TMI discord server!

3/18/24 This Week's Word of the Week: PerseveranceDefinition:persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. Idalia had the pleasure of meeting a warm and kind newcomer to Port Argentium, but they certainly aren't new. Jun of the Celadine visited Idalia's great eat after arriving to Port Argentium. She was almost tempted to get the fire breather challenge but instead opted for Chef Idalia to make a different spicy surprise. In Idalia's eyes Jun is impressive especially being able to use magic. Arna can use magic but it's not as cool, and Idalia definitely can't do any type of magic. She certainly has tried before. Jun taught Idalia the word perseverance. "When you work really hard at something and accomplish something new, even if it takes you a long time. We have a word for that. It can be anything. Climbing a tall mountain, learning a difficult spell, or making the best chicken stew on the isles." Jun says this about perseverance. Perseverance is definitely something Idalia has done in her life. From mastering what she thinks is the hardest dish to cook the chicken stew, to the start of her cooking career, she has persevered through it all. Now she's in Port Argentium ready to cook her heart out! Cooking is the labor of her love. In her old life, her family were unaccepting of this passions she has for cooking. Jun has also showed perseverance in honing and practicing her magic regardless of the limitations that the mist brings. Idalia has also seen people persevere, or try to, when they take on the Fire Breather Challenge. It would've been funny to see Jun take on the challenge but maybe another time. Idalia flexed her arms when talking about the challenge. Jun and Idalia might greet each other from now on with a flex! |

This Week's Word of the Week: Chicanery
Definition:
the use of trickery to achieve a political, financial, or legal purpose.
This week Idalia did her own learning. Today is a holiday where people play tricks on each other. Idalia enjoys this holiday very much. She decided to learn a word that followed the theme of tricks and humor. Chicanery is a difficult word for the adorable arna to learn. The word reminds her of chicken as it sounds similar. Idalia had a secret pet chicken when she was young but it got sick and passed away. That was the day that Idalia stopped eating meat. Her pet chicken will always be in her heart and a few years after Pebbles came into her life and heart was full once again.
About the word...Idalia doesn't think she has tricked anyone into achieving political, financial, or legal success. Sometimes her food can be deceivingly yummy. Maybe that's a trick of its own? Does cooking food instead of paying count as financial trickery? She did present someone with a caramel onion before and that was pretty funny. Idalia didn't think she tricked Naoki into letting Idalia open a restaurant. The business papers are all in order even if more than half the words aren't spelled correctly. Idalia is as honest as they come. No tomfoolery here.

4/8/24 This Week's Word of the Week: Totality Definition: The maximum phase of a total solar eclipse, during which the Moon’s disk completely covers the Sun's bright face. Today marks an important holiday for Idalia and her people—the day when the sun is blocked. The beautiful sun is hidden for a few minutes. Though the eclipse is said to bring bad luck, it shouldn't have to be a bad day. It's a day to remember that even hidden behind a shadow, the vibrance of the sun shines through. It is an important message to know. Even on days that feel difficult, you can still shine. The word totality she learned after today's eclipse. The Arna have gotten a good sense of telling when the solar and lunar eclipse is coming. She has been wisely taught not to stare at the sun today, not that Idalia stares at the sun the rest of the year. Her eyes are especially sensitive to light and its changes. This word is easy for her to remember. It has the word total in it. Totality does sound a little ominous but the word brings her relief. Even the sun can have bad days and hide its face now and again. To celebrate the eclipse, she has made a suncake. The suncake is more of a sun pancake rather than cake. The typical fillings consist of condensed malt sugar. Idalia learned how to make this when she was little from her mama. Her family would make it everytime there is a solar eclipse.  |

4/16/24 This Week's Word of the Week: Combustion Definition: The process of burning something. Idalia has met another Port Argentium resident, Kae Marshall. Her first impressions of him at her little eatery reminded her of a prickly porcupine, but even the grumpiest fella has some softness to them. Nice delicious hot food should cheer anyone up. Idalia wondered if Kae is related to the nice Lady Naoki. They both have those fuzzy ears after all, except Kae is missing a tail. Even though it isn't his birthday, he was able to enjoy a special birthday meal!
The new word that Kae taught Idalia is combustion! This word seems to have quite the meaning to Kae. Idalia was surprised he shared such a intimate story of why he no longer fights in illegal fights. Killing someone must've been hard. Idalia has only killed animals before and even that makes her really sad. His story made Idalia wonder if there are any legal fights and what exactly is a cremation. The act of burning the deceased is foreign to her. When Arna die, they are returns back to nature to help it flourish. Idalia herself has faced combustion. When she was learning to cook, a lot of things burnt. There was even a time where she used too much wine, the pillar of flame that shot up burned off Idalia's eyebrows. The embarrassment caused her to get bangs until they grew back a few months later. However, she liked the bangs so much that she decided to keep them.
Idalia was happy to have met Kae and that he was willing to teach her a word. Maybe in due time his mood will soften. Even if it doesn't Idalia hopes he will come back to enjoy her food. Idalia knows that not everyone is as sunny as her and that is okay. All she can do is hope that her cooking can reach their hearts and fill their stomachs.

This Week's Word of the Week: Scrumdiddlyumptious
Definition: extremely tasty; delicious or very attractive.
Idalia was idling flipping through a book of words and found that this word perfectly describes her cooking. Scrumdiddlyumptious!!!! The word is very long and it sounds funny. It's going to take Idalia some time to master the pronunciation. It is a challenge she is willing to tackle. Apparently a person can also be scrumdiddlyumptious. When a famous Arna came to visit her town she was absolutely captivated. Her heart couldn't beat any faster and she couldn't even pronounce her name correctly. When he shook her hand she almost fainted. This Arna radiated beauty and grace. There were no flaws, from the dimples that appeared when he smiled to the freckled spots on his wings. His personality was also attractive. He was a selfless and gentle moth with a voice like smooth caramel. Idalia has never met anyone so scrumdiddlyumptious. Unfortunately he is a devout Arna of religion. Worship will be the only thing in his eyes.
