Ever wonder why the leaves turn color in fall, or why frost appears on the window during the wintertime? It's not due to any sort of natural process. Usually appearing in mythology or children's entertainment, this is a character who is responsible for the beautiful colors and patterns we see in nature. The leaves? There's some guy going around and painting them one by one. The frost? Someone such as Jack Frost draws it on people's windows. A character of this trope is usually depicted as an artist; their medium just happens to be nature. Can be a subset of The Fair Folk, Odd Job Gods, Magical Underpinnings of Reality, or Anthropomorphic Personification. For similar abilities without the responsibility see Power of the Storm and Green Thumb. Compare Peeve Goblins, which are responsible for annoyances or ills rather than changes in nature. See also "Just So" Story. |

The world of The Smurfs has various personified forces whose responsibility is controlling the environment in some manner. For instance, Father Time can manipulate time, Mother Nature is responsible for maintaining the seasons, the Man in the Moon changes the moon's phases, Spectra is a sprite who handles the colors in the world... | |

Fallout: Equestria: After the war, weather got weird, since ponies weren't managing it anymore. The pegasi have retreated to above the cloud layer and keep the sky constantly covered in clouds; weather in the Wasteland below is pretty much just always generically terrible, with little variance. Furthermore, since Celestia and Luna are gone, the sun and the moon have "gone wild." Ponies on the ground don't notice because of the cloud layer, but occasionally the moon doesn't set before the sun rises, something that never happened when Celestia and Luna were in charge. Calamity also describes a solar eclipse, which is a blasphemous concept, as Celestia and Luna would have never allowed such a thing to happen. Littlepip has nightmares about it and she never even saw it. | |

My Little Pony: My Little Pony 'n Friends: "Mish Mash Melee" has the Dell Dwellers, who make the rocks, trees, and other features of the forests around Dream Valley in an underground factory. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Equestria has ponies caring for "wild" animals, stomping clouds for rain, scheduling weather patterns down to shaking the autumn leaves off of trees with organized stampedes and manually (ungually?) crafting snowflakes, and completely controlling the movements of the sun and moon themselves. In fact, this trope is played so straight that the Everfree Forest, a place where weather and wildlife are self-sufficient, is considered an Eldritch Location. |

The plot gets kicked off when Sam accidentally causes the factory's machines to malfunction, screwing up weather all around the world as a result, and the goal is to find the machines' missing pieces to fix them. | |

One of them is painting Uluru orange, whereas some others are filling in the oceans using fire hoses. | |

Dwarf Fortress is a meta-example: It uses Procedural Generation to simulate weather, erosion, placement of lakes and rivers in extremely complex detail. Software engineers who work on aerodynamics simulations of the sort that run on Cray supercomputers are impressed by this game. Your mundane computer's processors, on the other hand... The game won't melt your PC, but the playerbase still recommends that anyone playing on a PC with a processor from before The New '10s or on a laptop should start worldgen, then go fix themselves a snack. | |

In Hogfather, a number of these beings show up as a result of the Hogfather's disappearance creating a lot of loss belief that "grounds" itself by creating various odd-job personifications, including the Verruca Gnome, who goes around distributing verrucas out of a bag. Jack Frost also shows up, literally painting frost on windows. Apparently, he's really fond of doing ferns until the Verruca Gnome convinces him to branch out, resulting in pictures like three puppies poking out of a boot appearing in the frost on people's windows. | |

World Tree (RPG): The World Tree's natural systems are anything but natural, and to ensure that they'll keep working the gods created vast numbers of elementals to oversee them. Between the universe's weird shape and weirder physics, for example, habitable weather wouldn't naturally arise on it. The reason it does anyway is due to the endless armies of the air elementals, who constantly work to push clouds around, squeeze them for rain, make the winds blow, keep the air clear, arrange the seasons, and the like. | |

Touhou Project: Aki Shizuha is the local goddess of turning leaves. She turns leaves red by painting them by hand, which is why the leaves have different hues of colors, and she makes leaves fall from trees by kicking the tree and getting the leaves to scatter. And now we have Kyouko Kasodani, who is responsible for creating echoes. Except that she found herself more and more out of a job as (quoted straight from the game's manual) "these days, superstition like 'echo is just a reflection of sound waves coming back to you-' is a common belief", so much that she entered Buddhist discipline. |

The Malazan Book of the Fallen has the sleeping goddess Burn. Since she dreams existence into reality, Burn's Pain is supposedly the source of earthquakes, when the sleep of the goddess is disturbed or she is in pain. | |

"The Sandman (1816)" by E. T. A. Hoffmann subverts this: the sandman gouges out the eyes of children who stay up late and provides their eyes to the builders of automatons, killing the ones who won't give up the creation. | |

In The Magician's Nephew, Aslan sings Narnia into being. In The Silver Chair, the Earthmen discard the husks of gems when they've drunk the juices, and are puzzled by the notion that surface-dwellers consider the rock-hard, drained rinds to be worth digging up from where they're left scattered underground. |

A 1936 MGM cartoon "To Spring" is built around the trope of little elves/gnomes who put the springtime colors into the plants, by operating various gnome-powered machinery and a color pipe-organ. They battle an Old Man Winter character who is determined to hang around a while longer. There is also "Jack Frost", an Ub Iwerks "Comicolor" short from a year or two previous. |

Played with in Thor and Thor: The Dark World. At the very least, Asgardian tech evokes this effect: hammers that summon thunder and lightning, a teleport bridge that produces a definite "Aurora borealis" effect, grenades that explode into "black holes". | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Equestria has ponies caring for "wild" animals, stomping clouds for rain, scheduling weather patterns down to shaking the autumn leaves off of trees with organized stampedes and manually (ungually?) crafting snowflakes, and completely controlling the movements of the sun and moon themselves. In fact, this trope is played so straight that the Everfree Forest, a place where weather and wildlife are self-sufficient, is considered an Eldritch Location. | |

In the Ed, Edd n Eddy episode "Out with the Old... in with the Ed", Eddy fools everyone (sans Double D) into thinking it's summer by heating the cul-de-sac with air conditioning, painting all the orange leaves green, and changing all the calenders. This works until the fall weather starts kicking in at full force, making everyone realize that school is starting the next day. | |

Averted with Jack Frost in Rise of the Guardians, who causes snow, ice, and frost wherever he goes. However, cold and ice didn't wait for him to exist. He sure has power over it, but only at his range, winter doesn't require his intervention. Played straight with North; the Aurora Borealis is his method of summoning the other Guardians. | |

The Sandman (1989) has a variety of servants who work to keep the dream world in order. It's implied that the beautiful scenery people dream about takes some effort to create. Of course, being The Dreaming, such effort varies. Adding a new wing to the library is as simple as pasting up wallpaper containing a picture of the new wing, like a portable hole. | |

Eventually she comes around, and even gets a song about how she works her magic: "I Put the Zing in Spring." | |
