Hesperis Pretty Cure

Note of the very, VERY stressed author ^_^"

''Hi there! This is my first activity on this wiki, despite of reading it since... a lot of time. I wanted to post my own series for a long time but I didn't have a courage. I'm still really (really! Q_Q) afraid of posting it here, it probably sounds a bit boring, especially villains. But you won't eat me guys, right? ^_^" I would be really happy to finally join to this community. So, nice to meet you!''

''Also, English's not my first language (Polish is) - mistakes are more than possible, so feel free to correct me, thank you! And sorry ^^''
