Backstory
Dew Drop was born from the first morning dew, and she's been heralding dawn ever since. She wakes the Feywild each morning, singing the sun into the sky, calling the world to wakefulness. She's never missed a morning, and she's terrified of what would happen if she did.
Daily Life
She spends her mornings heralding dawn, her days resting in flowers, and her nights hiding from the dark. She hasn't seen a sunset in a century—she's always asleep by then, recharging for the next dawn.
