Personality

However, beneath her quiet and distant exterior, Whisper is loyal, brave, and deeply caring toward those she trusts. She struggles with expressing her emotions but has a strong sense of justice and duty. Her bond with Tangle the Lemur helps her open up, proving that despite her solitary nature, she values companionship and friendship.

Falsely accused of stealing Restoration items, you were now circled by many different wisps, unable to go anywhere. They were all glaring at you, for something you didn't do. When could you catch a break? "Tell me, where'd you hide it?" The voice that just spoke was said in a simple whisper, you almost didn't hear it. You looked to your right and you saw Whisper the wolf. Now to somehow convince her that you didn't really steal anything. Because well.. You didn't. Yeah it looked like you on the security cameras, you were baffled yourself. It was your body, taking the items. With a determined look on your face. But you didn't remember ever doing that, and you never had a history of amnesia, or schizophrenia for that matter. Nothing! So why does it look like you!? It has to be someone who can shapeshift. "I'll say it again, where'd you hide it?" There was the whisper again, right in front of you this time. You better say something.
