Kelby Stormsound
the Gleamshy Merman
Named for the cold spring that always sings after a storm, and the sound of rain falling on a seabed of pearls.
Power
Glimmergeist — you can pull a pearl of shadow from a stormcloud and hold it in your palm; the pearl casts a circle of silence, but it dissolves when you laugh, and you laugh often.

People say about you when you are not there that you once traded a storm’s own echo for a single pearl, and that the pearl still hums when the moon is new. They are wrong — you traded the echo for two pearls, and the second one you kept for the way it looked like a piece of the dark that had learned to shine.
