Zephyr Burr

Zephyr Burr was a Leporine who grew up in a small desert village known as Dustden. The oasis made it the perfect place for a farming community, and the town was home to many arid-loving species, though primarily the Leporine. Short with large, powerful legs and long ears, her stature was not unusual for one of her kind. However, her father passed down to her the traits of the "Wild-Bloods." This did little to change her appearance, but made her claustrophobic inside buildings, and drew her to the wilds. As such, she began her career as an adventurer and archaeologist, travelling the world investigating ruins and treasure hunting. However, despite the draw of the wild, she grew lonely and depressed with no company and no real sense of importance. One day, she came upon the apiary of Pumpkin. She decided to finally plant her roots and settle down, and dug a cozy, spacious burrow.

Over time, more and more wandering people would come and settle in the blooming town. Infrastructure was developed around the town, as new roads and burrows were needed to accommodate the people. Among those citizens were three foxes: Ixen, Daichi, and Fenic. Several other people came to temporarily reside there or do buisness, such as Spider Girl of the Arachni Mines, Krak L. Pop the merchant, Lyngbakr IIII of Atlantis, Gruff the blacksmith of the Forge, and several others who made minor visits or were tourists to the town.

As SNON revealed his treachery, Zephyr was among the first to sound the war cry to gather everyone in an effort to preserve Ferir. She faced Liminal in his boss room and defeated him. She then promptly got stuck in a locked room, and had to wait for the others in her party to bail her out. She was the first to stumble upon SNON's boss room, and challenged him to a duel in typical nevermelt fashion, as they had done many times in the weeks prior. She asked for an explanation of the rules with venom on her tongue, but promplty cut SNON off, saying, "Fuck you, this is a no limits duel." The others soon caught up and entered the room, and chaos ensued. SNON's body was eventually destroyed, but he quickly rebuilt himself and activated his world destruction machine. In Ferir's final moments, OBERON asked her if she wanted to run away with him. She accepted.

## Season 6

Zephyr was ripped from Ferir by Oberon as Snon activated his doomsday machine. The only thing keeping her alive were a bag full of totems as she was pulled through the cold, dark void of space. Upon arrival in [the world], she was in a coma for 2 weeks recovering from the shock and physical trauma. Shortly after awakening, she began working on projects in Spireshire to keep herself busy. She was also quick to attempt to diffuse the mounting tensions between Spireshire and Millenia.

After Raker revealed himself, Zephyr spiraled into depression. Hellbent on preserving this world to atone for the one she couldn't, she sunk herself into the study of mechanics and supernatural physics in order to create a machine that could hold the world stable. She was granted blueprints to create a world, but repurposed them to make a formula that would create a balance between entropy and expansion. This machine required 1000 wither stars as one of the components, which she obtained over the span of 2 weeks, causing a cacophony of booms across the world. However, the count seemed to be off: 1001 booms were heard instead. Killing this many withers ultimately took a toll on her body, and she contracted wither sickness.

Zephyr established communications with Krak in the space outside of time by sending radio signals through the lamps. These signals were also intercepted by H.C., who had been carefully planning how to enter the world of Stella Aeterna, as it would soon be named. H.C. made a deal with Zephyr, agreeing that she would allow H.C. to use her study and resources to construct an android body in return for aid in the building and activation of the world machine. Zephyr slowly descended into an altered state of consciousness due to symptoms of the wither sickness. H.C. ultimately took her life in an assisted suicide, as Zephyr sacrificed herself to power the machine. Her body and soul still rest within it.

#### Archivist's Notes:

For the time I knew her, Zephyr seemed reasonable enough. I'd like to call us friends.
