Whitney (Fanmade Character)

Whitney is a character from *Terraria* created by Murb281. She is inspired by the *Don't Starve Together/Terraria* crossover event. She can be woven for 1750 spools.

## Origin

In an out-of-place world, Whitney is far from normal in the grand scheme of things. Most of her memories and strength are distorted beyond layers of time-space between her and her homeworld, and has no idea how she exactly arrived. However, that doesn't bog down her efforts in the slightest, despite the gloom of separation beginning to overcome her morale.

After finding herself trapped in the Constant, Whitney was extremely paranoid of everything, as nothing looked like anything from her world. The only reminders of home were the guitar on her back, the hat on her head, and the shadows she would see behind every corner. If it hadn’t been for finding the Survivors, she would have been completely separated from both realities. Now that she knows she’s not alone in the world (even if they are a bunch o’ uncultured swine, save for the remarkable automaton), she has started remembering how to create some of her old inventions to aid her in survival. She’ll just have to use a little bit of steampunkery for now, if she hopes to make it home one day.

## Special Power

Whitney carries over some of her talents from her old world, and can create personalized gadgets that compensate for her low health. Some of these are natural, such as her signature Steampunk Hat, while most of the more complicated inventions require the creation of a Steampunk Boiler. The following recipes are unique to her Steampunk Tab.

* Steampunk Boiler (2 doodads, 1 watering can, 2 cut stone) *Allows Whitney to create her gadgets when run with fire and water (from a watering can). Unusable in rainy conditions, however, it charges from rainwater. Additionally raises sanity with proximity.*
* Clockwork AR (1 doodad, 2 gears, 2 boards) *Burst fire weapon that shoots bullets at high velocity. Each 3-burst round consumes 1 bullet, dealing 59 damage in total. Deals 10 damage in melee combat.*
* Bullets (10) (2 marble, 1 gunpowder) *Ammo for the AR.*
* Jetpack (2 doodads, 1 gear, 1 bottle) *Makes the user hover for a short period of time. Handy for jumping gaps and escaping a sinking ship. Can also be used to burst forward through entities. Unusable in rainy conditions. Charged by nightmare fuel.*
* Steampunk Wings (1 jetpack, 2 gears 2 feathery canvas) *Improved flight time and works in the rain.*
* Steampunk Hat (4 silk, 1 pig skin, 1 gold) *Not only does it look absolutely “bloody brilliant,” it doubles as a good rain hat with 65% wetness protection.*
* Ivy (Guitar) (4 silk, 2 living logs, 1 green gem) *Plays music while dancing, regains the sanity of others around. Usable by Woodie as well.*

Additionally, Whitney has had her fair share of electrocutions, and as a result, has a natural 30% electric insulation.

Disadvantages:

Along with her lower base health and sanity, Whitney has always considered rain to be a menace to her machinery, and as a result, she hates it much more than your average survivor. Hence, her hat helps to keep the rain out until she can get better rain equipment. Additionally, most of her equipment will not work in the rain.

When Whitney is considered insane, her nightmares are far worse compared to the average survivor. Not only does she face Terrorbeaks and Crawling Horrors, but Shadow Slimer, Shadow Demon Eyes, and Shadow Dreadnautalis will emerge from the darkness.

* Slimer: Don’t deal damage, pin the player down.
* Eyes: Darts right towards the player, take one bite before dematerializing.
* Dreadnautalis: Attacks with long tentacles.

## Tips

1. The jetpack's boost can make strafing and catching up to enemies easier, as well as fly out of sticky situations.
2. Lots of Whitney's contraptions require hard-to-acquire items, making the beginning generally harder for her.
	1. However, the rifle is handy for taking on bosses, dealing the same amount of damage as a Thulecite club, and the jetpack serves as a reliable transportation option.

## Trivia

* Most of Whitney's quotes are based off the Steampunker's sayings in *Terraria.* Judging by them, she is of Scottish origin.
* In a similar manner, the fact that the Clockwork AR consumes 1 bullet for 3 shots is how the same weapon works in *Terraria.*
* Many of Whitney's references relate to other NPCs within *Terraria.*
* Whitney's favorite food is Soothing Tea.
* When talking damage, Whitney will occasionally pixelize.
* Whitney had a background in making furniture for a living for a side hustle.
