A holiday held on the second day of Early Spring in the Merrin Region. While celebrations of this day vary widely throughout the region, one thing is true of every one of them: children make a diorama of their future aspirations, also called Future Figures, and display them.
Future Figures consist of at least one base platform or stage on which a doll of their likeness is placed. Adults often make or buy this doll for the child, as it must (barring extreme circumstances) last for many Figurine Festivals to come, but it is up to the child to design the diorama from here out. Depending on the area, children may be left entirely up to their own devices, or guardians and mentors may assist in realizing the child's artistic vision. These can be concrete goals - it's very popular for children to show themselves performing their dream jobs, for example. But they can also be abstract - older children often flex their creativity by imagining what "world peace" might look like. The only requirement is that the child depict their hopes and dreams. (For this reason, it is extremely taboo to suggest that a parent 'made' the child's Future Figure, or otherwise altered its original concept.)
In smaller villages, the Future Figures are placed outside children's homes. Larger cities have taken to hosting them near marketplaces or government buildings - whichever gets more foot traffic. Sons of wealthy merchants often have a tiered figure, with multiple levels covered in hand-painted figurines and objects, while girls from less well-off means have a single stage full of painstakingly carved patterns. After the dye shortage in 1470, families started to use purple clothes to cover stages or dress dolls in intricate purple outfits to show off their status. While purple is readily available color today, the trend of purple stages stuck, and many Future Figures have a purple base stage.
