Wirlywings

**“**They're-mmhy best friemmhds!**”**
–**Wirlywings**

**Wirlywings** is a Character exclusive to *Cherry Forest*, who was released on September 7, 2011. Often named Wirly for short, she's a little girl with a big heart and supernatural skills at making friends. She developed an ardor to a specific fairy tale her whole childhood which later on saved her by altering the course of events as she was being brought into the Constant by a luring shadow.

## Origin

*Yet to be revealed.*

*Her whole story has been internally known for years now but due to the ongoing development of important parts, her lore would only make much more sense later at the release of the 1.4 update. - Me*

## Special Power

###  Friendship

Wirlywings has the ability make friends easily by right clicking on herself to "Say Bye!" around mobs that can follow players. Befriending a mob by waving gives +25 sanity, they won't loose loyalty over time unless befriended by feeding. Waving no longer works after reaching 3 followers with infinite loyalty. Each follower regardless of the befriending method gives +25 sanity/min.

Wirlywings can befriend a large variety of creatures and has other reactions in other encounters :

* Pigs, Bunnymans, Rock Lobsters, Cherrylings and others can be turned into infinite loyalty followers
* Players : gives +50 sanity to everyone around and changes Wirlywings sanity loss back to normal for a full day and cannot wave at players again during that time.
* Shadow Creatures (in combat) : gain 10 sanity, re-target Wirlywings and force them to teleport, this can be used to distract shadows, maintain sanity or take distance.

Critters don't count towards Wirlywings sanity regeneration.

###  Sharing with Players

Wirlywings have the ability to "Share Between Followers" Crock Pot meals to followers by eating around others. She never fully benefit of the food stats and other followers will receive extra percent based on the amount of players benefiting of the effect (Wirlywings not included). Meaning 1 player = 2% of the original stats, 2 players = 1%, etc...

Players will benefit of the sanity and temperature stats based on the previous percent. Other players won't deny damaging food, or food not part of their died so this can be used to kill other players easily (Wurt, Warly and Wigfrid will lose a lot of sanity from eating food off their diet).

###  Sharing with Followers

With her special Candy Wrappers recipe, Wirlywings can cook a variety of special Candies for her followers to grand them special combat and utility buffs. She starts without any wrapper which can be expensive to make but crafting them is a permanent upgrade to her kit since they can be recycled using the 3 Wrapper Bits which are re-obtained after using candies.

Wirlywings can also craft her Lunch Box, a portable container that only her can use to store prepared food and Candies, she can "Give to a Follower" the selected foods inside to distribute it from distance with a smart filtering aiming to give the food buffs to the followers that don't have them or need healing.

###  Friend of the Cherry Forest

 *See also: Forest's Reputation*

She will start at the Cherry Stone within the Cherry Forest instead of the Florid Postern. Given she was already around a while, the entire Cherry Forest will be revealed on the map. Players that plays her first will have 50 reputation of 50 instead of the usual 30.

###  Pretty Hood

Wirlywings wears a hood that looks like a Cherryling, despite being fashionable from where she's from, it makes speaking quite difficult sometimes but also provides 70% resistance against wetness.

## Disadvantage

While having friends is made easier, keeping and making them will be crucial to maintain Wirlywings sanity, she looses 3 times less sanity during dusk and night (+15/min) unless she recently waved at other players. She also looses 50 sanity if a follower dies or 100 if she hits her friends.

Mr. Skitts will also try to scare Wirlywings while she's alone with less than half of her sanity. This can be prevented by keeping distance with him, having followers other than a critter, mounting a Beefalo or if she was recently reassured by waving players. If scared, she will loose 10 sanity and drop her hand equipped item.

## Tips

* Pigs and Cherrylings can be found around the Cherry Forest at the start, which can be useful friends to have by her side to avoid being lonely when it's dark and help cutting trees, fight and provide light for free.

* As she starts on the Cherry Forest and has already explored the whole biome, it is recommanded to take a good look at the available resources to efficiently gather resources, food, prepare a starting equipment and plan to make a properly equipped boat. This can be achieved relatively fast in comfort as the forest as lots of plants and guaranteed sources of gold, silk and more.
	+ Other players can help to find a way to the Mainland by the use of Flares or Moonlens and vise-versa.
* Wirlywings can easily have a nearly permanent sanity regeneration of -100/min by locking a critter with the Plump trait and keeping it fed. After eating Goodies (such as Taffy), critters will keep their current trait, Plump critters will be hungry less often, up to 20 days if they eat their favorite food. This can be extremely useful to fight back the massive sanity loss when it's dark without having any other followers.

* Chester, Glommer and other similar pets doesn't count toward the sanity buff as they aren't exactly following the player but an item.

## Trivia

* Wirlywings' voice is played by an organ.
* Certain friendly mobs will wave back at Wirlywings, like the Pig King or Merm King.
