Willoe

The Willoe are a race of phantoms that emerge from the wills and memories of mothers who died before they could finish raising their children. They assume a pink body comprised of spectral energy that takes either a smooth texture or a state of total incorporeal matter. Willoe are intelligent, but are incapable of learning how to speak.

Not all mothers that die prematurely create Willoe from their corpses. Willoe themselves carry no other memory or desire from past lives, only their personality and motherly nature. Because of the strange and incomprehensible nature of their seemingly random genesis, Willoe numbers are few and far between, and hardly any concrete evidence of their existence was recorded until one was tamed by Kiara, who captured and allied with their own mother's Willoe.

Biology and Behavior
Willoe have sleek, ghostly bodies that end in feathered tails. Blue hair rests atop their one-eyed heads. They constantly emit a pink gleam that makes them easy to spot at night.

Willoe are nonhostile and prefer to silently haunt the child they left in life. They will become restless if kept away from their children for long periods of time. With few exceptions, they will fade away when their child reaches adulthood. Willoe, being mother phantoms, have no ability to procreate, nor do they desire to. Willoe communicate with others through spirit imagery.

Hunting and Abilities
A Willoe has no need to sustain itself, but can eat if it wishes for the pleasure of taste. Many Willoe favor sweets over the meat of animals, though. Rarely does a Willoe carry its preferred food from in life.

Willoe can use their feathered tails or spirit magic as a weapon in combat. They may also bless creatures or people with its own power. Most Willoe tend to avoid fighting altogether, lest it be in a tamer's possession or protecting its young.
