Nerida Amberspire
the Amberdrift Siren
Named for the whirlpool drift where ancient amber nodules tumble from a collapsed spire, bearing the trapped light of creatures that never saw the sun.
Power
Abyssal Echo — you can call a shadow from the deep that takes the shape of anyone it has ever swallowed, but each echo drains a little of your own warmth until you shiver even in the warmest current.
- Familiar
- a vampire squid named Nocturne
- Tide
- the Gloaming Drop-off
You were sorting a tide-pool of glowing shells when the first shadow rose from your own reflection — not a monster, just a girl made of squid-ink and forgotten light. She offered you a strand of black pearls and said, 'You've been collecting the wrong things.' Since then, you keep the amber nodules in a net around your neck, and you know each one by the creature inside.
