Appearance
• Physical: Barely visible to the naked eye, appearing as a shimmer of light or a drifting spark. Those who can see her clearly describe a tiny woman with dragonfly wings and hair that crackles like static electricity. • Clothing: She wears garments woven from dream-stuff that change with each dream she visits—sometimes armor, sometimes ball gowns, sometimes nothing at all. • Distinguishing Marks: Her wings leave trails of light that form images from the dreams she's collected.
Relationships
- Family - None—she's unique, the only one of her kind
- Allies - A mortal insomniac who acts as her agent in the waking world
- Rivals - The Night Hag who steals dreams for darker purposes
Personality
- Traits: Curious to the point of obsession, surprisingly empathetic, terrified of her own dreams, addicted to novelty
- Mannerisms: Flits between topics mid-conversation, quotes dreams she's collected as if they were literature
- Voice: Barely audible, like a thought that isn't yours, with an odd echo
Backstory
Whisperwind was born from the first dream ever dreamed, and she's been collecting dreams ever since. She buys, sells, and trades dreams like other merchants trade spices. She's amassed a collection of millions—nightmares, fantasies, prophecies, memories. But she's never had a dream of her own, and it's slowly driving her mad.
Story Hooks
