whisper lake
Species: water
Age: ~500 years since becoming conscious Gender: female Sexuality: asexual Height: varies, generally ~150 cm Weight: varies a lot Occupation: traveler, storyteller Extra: can technically take on any shape or form as her body is completely liquid. She slowly evaporates over time, especially on warmer days, so she has to make sure to keep herself moist and drink a lot to not lose too much of her body. Very polluted areas can make her sick and kill some of the germs and organisms that naturally live in her, and she's known to freeze up in winter. She can start to boil a little when she's really angry, and when she's happy she bubbles and dribbles. |
about
Whisper's story is one of the stories that 10 detailed in her children's books.
story
once upon a time, there was a witch who was very lonely so she used her
magic to make a local lake capable of speech so she would have a friend.
witches however, are very mortal, whereas lakes are generally not.
after the witch eventually died, years and years went by where she had
no one to talk to, and when a village emerged not too far from her, she
tried talking to the villagers that would come by.
in that time though, people were quick to be scared, and she rapidly became known as a cursed lake, her voice as the whisper of the lake. people generally avoided her, but kids would come around as a test of courage. one day, one of them fell in, startled by her voice, so she pushed him out... and they became friends! for some time she had someone to talk to again, but then there was a terrible drought and whisper almost completely evaporated, so her friend urged her to leave her spot and instead come live in the shade with him. she did, living in his bath tub for a while. after the drought there was rain, and the rain filled up the basin in which she originally lay... and being significantly reduced in size as well, she wouldn't be able to return, so now she just kinda wanders through the human world, disguised as a thoroughly soaked person. her friend eventually died as well, but she's happy just being able to walk around, surrounded by people and talk to them once in a while. after all, she was born from the wish to have someone to talk to! personality
Whisper is a very bubbly person and good at making conversation as well as listening to people. She's quite smart, but since she spent the majority of her existence nowhere near people, their world can be a bit alien to her (and as a result, she loves to hear about it).
She doesn't like being alone for too long. |
