CORE CHARACTER CONCEPT

• She appears to children, elders, and those near death — and always seems familiar

• She holds the Dreamkeys — items that unlock doors to the Forgotten Realms

• She remembers every child that was lost, hurt, abandoned, or forgotten

• Her kingdom was erased long ago. But the memory still glows in her voice

• She hides her crown inside a music box. She opens it only when someone needs to believe again

ORIGIN PATHS (CHOOSE ONE)

🧸 1. The Clocktower Girl

Every night at 9:09, she watches the stars from a forgotten tower. Some say she’s waiting for someone who broke a promise.

🪞 2. The Kingdom That Was Erased

Once she was princess of a land so kind it frightened the gods. So they removed it. But she remembers. Every. Flower.

🕯 3. The Thread of the Forgotten

She wakes each time a child dies in fear or sorrow. And helps them cross… unless you help her first.
