A living skywood vessel of the Deeproot-Heritage lineage
At a glance
Reads as ancient and watchful even at rest.
A living skywood warship, aged but strong.
Bioluminescent grain patterns along her hull that shift with her mood.
Their story so far
One of roughly twelve vessels in the present day directly descended from Vessel-Consciousness Deeproot-Heritage, the vessel-rights faction's leader. The Skysong chose Wren as a girl and has never regretted it -- and chose to flee cultivation review rather than let her people be forced to choose for her.
The crack in them
Doesn't fully grasp that the people she's protecting can be hurt in ways she can't heal.
How they sound
Ethereal, airy soprano. Type-cast as otherworldly guides, dream-visitors, uncanny observers.
Their music
Deep hull-groan resolving into something almost like a held vocal note -- ancient, patient, alive.
In their words
I choose.
Not them.

She is playable as written. Athletics covers hull, speed and weather; Cunning is low because she chooses rather than calculates.
