Smol Blep

Smol Blep is a NPC created and portrayed by Justin Green. He is Astra Blep's cousin.

**General Spoiler Warning:** This page has been updated with information as of Ep 49 - My teammates are already gone. Anything after that, if any, is not on this page.

## Description

Smol Blep looks like a small preteen half-elf, twelve or thirteen, and hasn't grown into his long pointy ears yet. He dresses like a 1920s newsie, with suspenders, big floppy bowtie, and newsboy cap. He skulks around alleyways and stays out of the light to hide the fact that he has no shadow.

When he's sneaking into the Blitz game, he wears an oversized trench coat.

## Backstory

The rumors around Faenalin are that Astra Blep valiantly went into the Whispering Woods to rescue her cousin Smol Blep, who wandered in too deep. They made it out alive, but Smol no longer has his magic or his shadow, and he was withdrawn from Faenalin Academy because he couldn't cast spells. Now, his parents won't let him leave the house and he misses his friends from school.

Smol claims that he was a really good wizard before he lost his magic, but Astra says this is a lie.

## Current Events

Smol Blep finds Zelf asking around Faenalin about Astra, and makes a deal with him: Smol will tell Zelf more about his curse and Astra if Zelf sneaks him into the Blitz game. Zelf agrees, but doesn't end up helping Smol into the game because he knows something big is going down. And also Astra asks him not to, but that's secondary to Zelf's reasoning. Smol ends up sneaking in anyway amid the ruckus. When Janni Squad flees after the big battle, Archmage Wynhorn tortures innocent people in an attempt to find them. The Little Stranger leads Castien Grefiel to Smol, and Castien is able to protect him from harm.

At some point, Smol warns Castien about Astra. Smol accompanies Castien to Mealnor, where they conspire with Zelf to destroy Astra's spiral rapier. In Nan Tahrum, Astra becomes a fully-fledged vampire and bites Smol for trying to take her rapier. She puts Smol in another room so she can deal with everything else happening, and the time loop soon resets.
