Mirror of Whispers: Difference between revisions

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a character in {{RD}}. As a living spirit from the [[Realm of the Looking Glass]], she occupies the many mirrors of [[Viper Manor (Radical Dreamers)|Viper Manor]] and transports between them at will, spying on the Manor's inhabitants and acquiring intelligence for [[Lynx]]. The spirit is not the spirit of a dead human, simply a creature from an alternate dimension whose origin is unknown and whose age is seemingly indeterminate but very old.

An ethereal creature, the Mirror of Whispers has no consistant body or gender, although she is assumed to be female. She has the ability to manipulate images in any mirror's reflection and give them the appearance of animation. In [[Lynx's Quarters]], she chooses to animate a statue of {{w|Aphrodite|Venus}}. While the actual statue does not move or speak, its reflection in the mirror behind it does. The eyes of the statue's reflection glow white while speaking. The mirror in which she is encountered is of {{w|Arabesque}} design, which many allude to the origin of it. The surface of the mirror is usually covered by a tapis of violet velvet.

Asking of Kid's origin brings images of Regionna, the orphanage where she grew up. Images of dark trees and forests pass to focus on a [[Lucca|young woman]] surrounded by mewling children. A batch of soldiers encloses and flames leap in the backdrop. Kicking and screaming, the soldiers drag the young woman away and murder the crying children, save one. A little soot-covered girl, cowering in the corner. She stands after the flames died and the soldiers left. Her eye squints like a cat's...and the images fade.

The Mirror of Whispers admits that she has traded hands several times and traveled to many locations, all of which are faint memories. Once, she had a companion, a fellow spirit who haunted the mirror with her but that spirit disappeared and so her strength wans as well.
