This storyboard is inspired by one of the legend of a tradition called Martisor(romanian)/Marteniza(bulgarian) (or also known as The March Trinket) celebrated in eastern Europe mainly in Bulgaria and Romania and other countries. There are different versions about the origin of the March Trinket, and this storyboard represent the version about the Fairy Mother of Winter and the Fairy Mother of Spring.
Description: The end of winter was drawing near and its Fairy Mother was using all her powers to keep the season still. Meanwhile the Fairy Mother of Spring was wandering close by melting what snow she could, surprised that the Winter was still there. Until she spotted a small snowdrop surounded by some thorns, she tried to move the thorns away to give the little snowdrop some room.
...This small flower is the messenger of spring, and when it is spotted, it usually signals the end of winter. As the Fairy Mother of Spring was trying to free the snowdrop, the Fairy of Winter sensed it's presence and tried to blow away her threat with a blizzard.
The Fairy of Spring ignored the thorns and threw her hands reight trough them so she can protect the snowdrop from the blizzard. Wounded from the thorn's spikes, her blood fell upon the snowdrop's pedals, stopping the blizzard and banishing the Fairy Winter away along with her season.
