Whippoorwill

Whippoorwill came to the clan as a hatchling, trotting at Tarnisha's heels. The guardian had found the tiny snapper alone in the Shifting Expanse. While she'd searched for weeks for Whippoorwill's parents, she never found them and eventually the tug to find her Charge pulled her onward.

Having been with the clan nearly from the beginning, Whippoorwill is the clan's memory. She remembers where their first den was and every subsequent den until the guardians made a proper lair. She remembers each clan-member they've sent to the Shadowbinder, the best places to find foods, the sweetest streams, the worst sites to be ambushed, and so much more.

She herself loves to collect gems and pretty pieces of natural glass. She likes to go out with the diggers when they go searching for treasures. Spont, however, doesn't like her to travel too far from the Tangled Woods. Losing her would be devastating to the entire clan.

Since Whippoorwill doesn't have the fine dexterity for jewelry-making, she uses her jewels and pieces of glass to make mosaics. They're often placed around lights in the lair to catch and amplify the brightness for the non-Shadow-born members.
