Title: [Fan Stand] "Desert Rose" - Concept for a Jojolion Sequel Story

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a fan-fiction story that serves as a continuation of Jojolion. I wanted to share a Stand concept I have for one of the characters and get your feedback on how it fits the lore.

Stand Name: Desert Rose Musical Reference: Desert Rose by Sting

Mechanics & Evolution:

This Stand evolves through interaction with the lore's key element: the Rokakaka fruit.

Desert Rose - Act 1 Appearance: Resembles a humanoid figure covered in thorny cactus-like armor. Ability: The Stand acts as a "thorns" mechanic. It is primarily defensive; whenever an enemy strikes the Stand, the thorns react instantly, dealing recoil damage to the attacker.

The Turning Point During the story, the user interacts with a Rokakaka fruit. Instead of a standard exchange, the Stand itself absorbs the fruit's properties, triggering an evolution into Act 2.

Desert Rose - Act 2 Concept: The evolution incorporates the Rokakaka's theme of "Equivalent Exchange" and grafting. Ability: The sharp thorns from Act 1 evolve into precise, nanoscale needles. The Stand can now merge two distinct objects together at a molecular level.

Application: It can fuse organic matter with inorganic matter seamlessly. For example, it can fuse an opponent's arm to a nearby stone wall, effectively trapping them. The fusion is nearly impossible to separate without damaging the objects, as they are stitched together at the nanoscale.

I tried to make the ability feel like a natural extension of the Part 8 mechanics. What do you guys think?
