Tideshadow — you can pour your form into the darkness between waves, moving as a liquid silhouette, but every time you emerge you lose a shard of who you were, and your reflection grows fainter.
- Familiar
- a brittle star named Splinter

They say you are never in the same place twice, that your voice sounds like a current pulling gravel. They are not wrong. You were not born; you condensed out of a collapsed tide pool in the Silverdepths, and you carry the taste of that first salt still. You do not sleep. You only wait, and shift, and forget.
