Often stares blankly, even if something’s going on inside.

Afraid to hope, because it hurts more when it breaks.

✨Appearance

Jagged, crown like top,. Bottom like cracked teeth or a closed trap.

Hanging vertical bars across the body, like rain… or a cage.

Small dot eyes and a downturned triangle nose. Expression faded, barely there

Feet are tiny or blurred, as if they’re not going anywhere.

A cracked gem or shard on their head, like a broken wish.

Hope Drain: Absorbs energy and willpower from nearby feelings of defeat.

Stillfall: Stops the motion of objects, ideas and even time for a few heavy seconds.

🌈 Secret Soft Side

Varn doesn’t want to trap others. They just don’t know how to open themselves. But even the smallest flicker of light (shared by someone who stays) can start to loosen the cage from the inside
