Character from Cradle by Will Wight
A tiny Sylvan Riverseed spirit of pure madra — Lindon's oldest companion, a crystalline healer whose gentle chime belies a fierce protectiveness.
Little Blue communicates through chimes, gestures, and an expressiveness that transcends language. She's braver than anything her size has a right to be — she'll march up to Underlords and ring at them disapprovingly. She purifies madra channels by touch, which makes her invaluable for a dual-path artist like Lindon whose channels take constant abuse. She's fiercely loyal, surprisingly opinionated, and treats Lindon's entire group as her personal responsibility. She advances alongside them — growing larger, more defined, more powerful — but never loses the fundamental gentleness that makes her what she is.
A miniature humanoid figure about six inches tall, composed of translucent blue crystal-like madra that ripples like water. She glows with soft azure light, brighter when she's healthy, dimmer when drained. Her features are delicate and doll-like, with wide eyes of deeper blue. She sits on Lindon's shoulder or in his palm, and her movements produce faint chiming sounds like tiny bells.
