SPROUT the fairy was made when Michaela realised that she could turn her style and identity into a career. "Over the years I became more and more obsessed with the woodland fairy style", she told Truly and says that she loves to bring joy to everyone around her when she’s Sprout. The makeup process takes over an hour as it's a crucial part of the look - she’s been perfecting it for 10 years. Michaela says that being Sprout allows her to "act silly and goofy" without judgement. Today the fairy will be Transformed into a glam girl - how will she react to seeing herself in a completely different style? Will her husband prefer her new aesthetic?

00:00People know me as Spout, the Fay of Seeds.
00:02Over the years, I just kind of gradually became more and more obsessed with the woodland
00:08fairy style.
00:10So this is kind of like my ideal woodland fairy look.
00:14I definitely wouldn't wear it on a normal occasion, but this is like my peak aesthetic
00:19right here.
00:20I know my style is really unique, but today I'm going to be transforming into an everyday
00:25glam girl.
00:26I have mixed feelings about the crop top.
00:28I would probably never wear these shoes.
00:32Are you ready to see it?
00:33Oh yeah.
00:34Oh my God.
00:35I look so weird.
00:40My entire makeup process takes about an hour and a half.
00:45When I was first trying my makeup out, it took about two hours.
00:49I've got a routine down, I'd say, for sure.
00:54Hi, my name is Michaela.
00:56I'm 26 years old and I live in Ohio.
00:58But most people know me as Sprout, the Fay of Seeds.
01:00I'm a professional fairy and I play Sprout at Renaissance festivals.
01:03I've been dressing up, I would say, as like a woodland fairy or an elf for probably about
01:0810 years now.
01:09I think over the years, I just kind of gradually became more and more obsessed with the woodland
01:16fairy style.
01:17Being a fairy to me means bringing joy to everyone else around me, especially children, and being
01:24able to play pretend and just kind of escape from reality, I guess.
01:28I would say the makeup for this look is very important, mostly just because it stands out
01:34and most people don't do full body makeup like this.
01:38And I think it makes me really unique as a professional fairy.
01:42So this is my air compressor that I use to put on the base colors of my makeup.
01:46And then I use this airbrush gun and I pour some makeup in it.
01:49Pour it in like that.
01:51And then I'll spray it and it'll spray on my face like that.
01:57Dressing up like this kind of makes me feel like I'm wearing a mask.
02:00Even though I'm not physically wearing a mask, but I feel like I can act more silly around
02:05people.
02:06If I were to look normal and go out in public and act like Sprout, I'd feel really self-conscious
02:11about it.
02:12But when I'm dressed as Sprout, I feel like I can actually act and be silly and goofy and
02:16people will accept it.
02:17So this is kind of like my ideal woodland fairy look.
02:21I definitely wouldn't wear it on a normal occasion, but this is like my peak aesthetic
02:27right here.
02:28And then I have all my clothes right here and here.
02:32I'd say this section is for more like costumey garb pieces.
02:38And then down here is for my more socially acceptable pieces.
02:43I very rarely wear jeans, only if I'm going to like a nice family Christmas event or something
02:49like that.
02:50They're usually in my colors like red or brown or green.
02:53I've gotten comments on the internet saying things like, oh, look, another fatherless daughter
03:00or just saying things like, that's so weird.
03:03What are you doing?
03:04Most people love it though.
03:06I know my style is really unique, but today I'm going to be transforming into an everyday
03:11glam girl.
03:12I have a bag full of clothing that I'm going to transform into.
03:17I assume this is a top.
03:21I have mixed feelings about the crop top.
03:24I would not normally show my belly off like that.
03:27So we'll see what happens.
03:29All right.
03:30We've got some standard jeans.
03:33I would normally never wear jeans like this.
03:36Silver necklace, which considering the butterflies is not too far from my style.
03:41And then a wig.
03:43Oh wow.
03:44It's got some highlights in it.
03:46I would probably never wear these shoes because one, they're high heels and two, it
03:52looks like it would expose my entire foot and I don't have the prettiest feet.
03:57So today I will be revealing my look to my husband.
04:00I'm excited to see what his reaction will be.
04:09Hi.
04:10Hi.
04:11Come on in.
04:12I'm Amber.
04:13Mikayla.
04:14Nice to meet you.
04:15Hi, I'm Maria.
04:16Mikayla.
04:17Nice to meet you.
04:18So what do you guys think is going to be the biggest challenge for this makeover?
04:22Probably getting all the makeup off.
04:24I was going to say, yeah, the removal.
04:26I'll have like splotches of green or like yellow in my ears for days.
04:31I feel like I'm being pampered right now.
04:34Like Beyonce.
04:35Yeah.
04:36Do you ever wear any kind of like bold smokey eye looks?
04:41Never.
04:42So this will be a real different look for you.
04:45Yeah.
04:46That silver smokey eye is really going to make your eye color stand out.
04:49I hope the wig on fits okay over my side shape.
04:54All right.
04:55I'm already walking in the shoes.
04:58Are you ready to see it?
04:59Oh yeah.
05:00Okay.
05:01Grand reveal.
05:02Oh my God.
05:03I don't look like myself at all.
05:04My hair.
05:05Everything.
05:06Everything's so weird.
05:07No.
05:08I am not a fan of the belly shine.
05:10I don't like the jeans.
05:11I really like the hair.
05:12I like the makeup.
05:13I would just maybe do warmer colors.
05:15Especially with the makeup.
05:16I feel like I kind of look like my high school self.
05:18The clothing is a little different than what I would have worn, but that's kind of what
05:19I look like I think.
05:20I think.
05:21I think.
05:22I think.
05:23I think.
05:24I think.
05:25I think.
05:26I think.
05:27I think.
05:28I think.
05:29Ryan's going to really like it and I think he's going to be kind of shocked because I
05:52don't look the same at all.
05:54We've been together for about five years.
05:56We've been married for three, three and a half.
05:59Ever since we've been married.
06:00It's just got progressively more and more towards Sprout.
06:14You look beautiful.
06:15I love it.
06:16What?
06:17I love the shoes.
06:18You love the shoes.
06:19Better take a good look at them since the last time we're going to see them off.
06:25I really like it, but I mean, I'm so used to you the other way.
06:29It's definitely not for me personally.
06:32I like it.
06:33I think I look pretty, but it's just not my style.
06:36And so I probably wouldn't wear something like this again.
06:40I'm most looking forward to taking my shoes off because sorry, but they hurt.
06:45I think Sprout would love my makeover because she thinks humans are really adorable.
06:52Kind of like how humans look at puppies.
06:54So I think she would like it and think it's cute.
06:56I think it's cute.
07:03We have two trans kids.
07:04Anyone can be whoever they want.
07:07I'm just owning it.
07:08Our family is seen to be very unconventional.
07:13So I had kids and I can't be hot anymore.
07:16Like moms are hot too.
07:17People say I look like a thug, but I love thugs.
07:19I take that as a compliment.
07:21I'm bored of people thinking that I cannot be intimate.
07:25I'm a young, single, hot piece of disabled booty.
07:29I feel like I'm going to look at myself and be like, who is that?
07:37Life is way too short to be hiding.
07:40It is my story.
07:41It is my truth.
07:51It is my story.
07:52I've forgotten this as I have to at the end of October.
08:01I've never heard, but I must read.
08:04How did a husband come together?
08:06You must talk with a counselor from Sierra.
08:07You call back to Mary Repie, then I could already say her girlfriend.
08:11So I have to see her at Sterling Blue.
08:14Then I'mguardate with me.
08:17And I asked me, how is it possible?
