Whisp

Fifth Moon Whisp-of-Smoke (or just 'Whisp') is a member of the party. She has been present since the beginning of the campaign.

Background
A legendary huntress, after service to her king, was awarded great rolling estates of green fields and deep forests. She was also blessed with three daughters.

The oldest two were twins, born of the third moon and named Fade-of-Light and Dawn-of-Day. As they grew, they showed an affinity with nature like no other. Under the harsh and watchful eye of their mother they soon became true masters of the hunt. Then the Huntress brought a third child into the world, Fifth Moon Whisp-of-Smoke, so named for her slight form and light feet. While the lady taught her third daughter as well as her others, Whisp's sisters constantly outshone her in competition for their mother's approval. The Huntress, who valued strength and skill over all, poured disdain on the runt of her litter. Finally, in a fit of petulant rage, Whisp fled her home and vanished into the woods.



Hiding amongst bandits, she returned one night to find their camp in flames. From the death rattle of a lone survivor she learned that the Huntress had charged both sisters with her recovery, the victor inheriting her title and lands. With this, Whisp left the shores of her homeland, for she knew both the mind of her sisters and the heart of her mother. She knew that only the strongest would be worthy. She knew that neither Fade nor Dawn would rest until they had their trophy. She knew, too, that her bloodied scalp would suffice.

As she boarded the iron-trader's ship in the grey light of morning, Whisp-of-Smoke knew that her great hunt had begun.

With the party
Whisp has been part of the Party since its inception on the boat inbound to South Porton. She has so far been noted for her ability to miss consistently in high-profile fights and then perform the death-blow, though her abilities and chance have improved as she entered level 5. Her interactions with NPCs have primarily been either low-key (wishing to avoid being trailed by her sisters) or antagonistic; for example offering money for the testicles of High Father Hork in Fjornik's holding cells, or brazenly stealing from the barkeep in Oakedge.

She has encountered Dawn in an inn called the Swan's Bottom in Hallow's Hall; Dawn informed Whisp that she was taking part in the Grand Tournament at Fjornik and that perhaps they would be able to settle their differences in the ring; Dawn wagered leaving Whisp alone if Whisp were to win against shaving Whisp's hair off and taking it back to the Huntress, along with Whisp's clothes and weapons.
