Character's Story:
He was the first of his sort I had ever seen. He was standing in the shade of the baker's doorway in the early gray morning before market day began, asking the baker for work. The baker wouldn't take him though, and shoved him back into the street.

As he fell to the ground, his white wings spread as he tried to regain his balance, and as he did so, they were caught in the morning light, and then I saw hidden within those snowy wings the brilliant sparkle of crimson, as brilliant as fresh blood, shimmering all through the white like a mirage. He turned as he got up and I saw his eyes were the same dazzling red.

I knew what he was then, he had to be an Angelic hybrid (okay, so the common term is Demonic half-breed). And at that time I just happened to be in possession of the tailor's daughter, so I thought I'd do the nice thing and offer the lad some work.

When the tailor found out that I'd given him work, he was furious and started beating him away with a broom, telling him to stay away from his pure daughter, and how dare I hire him, it would ruin business. I goofed up at this point, I laughed out loud, and declared his daughter couldn't be that pure! (I mean, I did take possession after all).

He turned and slapped me hard across his daughter's face, which knocked me right out of her pretty, little head. I don't know what happened after that, I'm always a little dizzy after I leave a body against my will. But apparently that half-n-half boy saved me while I was out.

"What are you?" he asked me in a soft voice.

"Eh? Haven't you ever heard of a whisp before?" And I curled myself around his neck right away and spoke into his ear "Seeing as I am a whisp, I could just climb right into your head and take possession of your body."

He just turned those tired red eyes to me, and waited.

"Gah! I was just joking, you idiot! Why would I want your body, I'd barely turn a street corner before someone would knock me right back out again... besides, I think I owe you... you know, for saving me." He smiled and started walking toward the rising moon. "Hey! Where you going?" I said, floating along behind him.

"To my purpose in this world, to see if there is a destiny waiting for me."

I decided, of course, to keep an eye on him. And for a year now Laythie and I have been traveling through Syllumina. We've had countless adventures. He even gave me a name, Lime, I suppose since I'm such a funny color.

I have a little secret though, that not even Laythie knows. While he searches endlessly for a purpose, I search endlessly for the perfect body to keep forever, and I hope and dream beyond all else that... when he discovers his destiny, please... oh please, let it be me.

Comments: This is my first time participating in the MOC. I had a lot of fun coming up with this picture and story!
