‘Human’ (Changeling) Titanborn, Druid / Barbarian, Order of Natu
Background. A fierce Changeling that hails from the Titan turtle Carapax. Whimsy, dubbed ‘the Strongest Woman on Jupiter’, was its local hero and protector from raiding pirates. An adoptive mother of two sons — Omniscient and Charming — she was recommended by her Titan’s shaman to travel to Astraloftum to make a bigger difference in the world.
After immigrating to Astraloftum with her kids, she was recruited by the Ecclesia Solari as a Solari Crusader (foot soldier). Whimsy’s awe-inspiring strength and leadership made her respected; she rose through the ranks before being selected by Natu for the Solar Scions. She now travels with the Soul Shepherds as the resident mother of the group and provider of excellent meals.
She believes it was the Trinity, especially Natu, who helped her and her family overcome hardship, and that the Church has continued to protect them. She generally hopes to help all people, though sometimes thinks killing folks is the best way to the greatest good (though that isn’t very Natu, so she reigns it in). She will almost always follow the chain of command, barring family or Natu contentions.
Key Moments & Growth.
- Quadrennial Meal Festival Champion. Won the Quadrennial Meal Festival on Saturn alongside Diallos as her sous-chef. Their winning final dish: a marinated Saturnus Rex Heart cooked in a clay vessel shaped like Janus, blessed by Tekk’s divine favor. She was awarded a medal and 10 solid Gold Blocks.
- Earned Natu’s Boon — twice on Saturn, once for freeing a trapped Air Elemental alongside Finley, and once for releasing the Ychen Bannog from ritual slaughter (Finley’s act, but Natu recognized them both).
- Shedding Paladin Dogma. Under Finley’s guidance during the voyage home from Saturn, Whimsy began shedding the rigid armor of her Paladin dogmas, embracing the wilder, more wrathful aspect of Natu.
- Killed Sven Stormson — a Cloudbeard Giant pirate who had developed a romantic interest in her — by smashing his head in after the ambush at the Janus City Aque-Docks. She had told him “actions speak louder than words.”
- Attended a tender training session with Aukshirok Mensch (the blind owner of Freedom’s Respite) to hone her culinary knife-work. Her first paying customer was a boy named Pickory.
- Maintained the home front: upon returning to Astraloftum, left 200 gold with Tom Foolery for the community to look after Omniscient and Charming while they were at their studies.
- During Bartholomew’s Gauntlet test — which she organized — changed her vote from “no” to “yes” at the last minute, giving Thirteen his probationary membership with the Soul Shepherds.
Whimsy & Joy. Joy — Whimsy’s presumed-dead lover from Jupiter — was rescued from the Stone Giant Corsair Gunhild Stormson’s ship. Joy did not recognize Whimsy at first. After Whimsy revealed herself as ‘Whim’, they shared a tender moment and have since reconciled their past. Joy admitted privately to Whimsy that she is terrified and doesn’t know who she is to Whim anymore — but that she still loves her, and asked Whimsy to be patient. Whimsy is back on her home Titan with Joy at her side, a fact that carries enormous emotional weight.
Omniscient & Charming. Her sons are growing up. Charming demonstrated combat prowess during training sessions and was quick enough to stab Thirteen during the Gauntlet while Thirteen was incapacitated by Hideous Laughter. Omniscient assisted with clean-up and showed signs of increasing trust in his brother. Both were sent off to their studies before the Soul Shepherds departed.
Jupiter — Current Events.
