🏠Home

The Cradle Cracks, where echoes linger longer than they should.

👾🧚Personality

Constantly replays what they did wrong, even when no one else remembers.

Fidgets a lot (hands, eyes, feet) like trying to wriggle free from a feeling.

Apologises in whispers or not at all, convinced they don’t deserve forgiveness.

Wants to make things right, but doesn’t know how to start.

✨Appearance

Soft, oval body split right down the middle by a jagged shard.

Both eyes look worried, but in slightly different ways, one hides, one watches.

Mouth always curling downward in uneasy motion.

Arms reach out awkwardly, unsure if they’re helping or hurting.

The dividing wedge glows faintly, like a reminder that never fades.

  ⚡Powers

Regrip: 🌿 Summons memories (real or exaggerated) that cling like vines and won’t let go.

Splitshiver: ⚡ Causes internal conflict that spreads outward, making others second-guess themselves too.

Tetherache: 🔗 Links emotionally to others and feels responsible for their pain — even when it’s not Musrh’s fault.

Echobind: 🔊 Repeats “you should’ve…” and “it’s your fault” until it’s hard to hear anything else.

Burdenbloom: 🌺 Guilt grows heavy flowers across Musrh’s back — beautiful, but too weighty to carry for long.

  🧘 Disarming Steps

“Truth Check” 🪞: Ask: “Is this my job to fix?” or “Am I holding something that isn’t mine?”
👉 Untangles Regrip & Tetherache.

“Repair Step” 👣: If something can be made right, take one small action to do it. If not , breathe, and let it rest.
👉 Softens Echobind.

“Kind Weight” 🌼: Picture taking off one heavy flower (Burdenbloom) and handing it back to the earth, a way to forgive yourself.
👉 Balances Burdenbloom.

“Share the Load” 🤝: Tell someone you trust what you’re carrying. Guilt shrinks when spoken kindly.
👉 Disarms Splitshiver.

“Lesson Leaf” 🍃: Turn one part of guilt into learning, something to grow from, not to drown in.
👉 Restores balance across all powers.

  🌈 Secret Soft Side

When Mursh is gently reminded that mistakes don’t erase worth, they tremble and glow. That split in their face? It softens. Because deep down, they desperately want to forgive themselves, too.
