Sparkler Parent

* Standard
* Ascended

The **Sparkler Parent** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Belonging who offers the  Sparkler expression. The parent is found at the entrance of the Valley Temple maze. The cosmetics offered by this spirit are  Hair, a  Mask, and a  Pinwheel (Prop).

## Memory

The Sparkler Parent is found in the Valley Temple Maze, which is on your left as soon as you enter the Temple. This Spirit is a carry spirit memory quest with 10 memory fragments and a 20-minute overall time limit. The standard entrance, where the parent is located, is at ground level, but is blocked by a Constellation Gate that requires you to have saved at least one spirit from Golden Wasteland.

There is a second possible way to enter the maze that is not blocked, but instead requires cape energy. Halfway up the temple wall there is an opening that acts as the exit from the maze. You can fly up to this opening, but if you wish to relive the parent's memories, it is far less convenient because you need to make your way backwards through half the maze.

There are several places where you need to drop down with the spirit. Generally there are Dark Crabs at the bottom of the drop. The final drop is from the maze exit down to the temple floor. It is best to first drop down partway onto the ledge, wait for the spirit to join you on the ledge, then drop the rest of the way.

## Expression
