## Skills

### Whisperer

* A yellow spherical shield will surround Fauna when a Whisper charge is active.
* Taking damage while having Sake equipped will disable the effect of Sake despite its tooltip saying that you need to take damage to do so, making the two incompatible.
* If Body Pillow is equipped, any hits Fauna takes will first consume any stacks of Whisper before damaging the shield.

### Guardian Tree

* Guardian Tree activates with every separate instance of healing; the more sources of healing, the more branches will activate.
	+ With Whisperer, Sapling, Mother Nature, Food drops, Just Bandage, Nurse's Horn, and Life Steal Stamp, Guardian Tree can theoretically manifest up to 7 branches at once.

### Sapling

* Saplings are not affected by the character's Pickup Range, and must be acquired by directly walking over them.
* Picking up multiple Saplings will only refresh the buff's duration, the bonuses do not stack.

## Outfits

The following outfits are available for Fauna:

## Tips

* Whisperer is an important skill to maintain Fauna's offensive capability, as its constant healing allows it to activate Guardian Tree frequently. As long as at least a single Whisper charge is active, Guardian Tree will activate once every 2 seconds.
	+ In the later minutes of a run, when there are likely lots of Saplings available, picking up multiple Saplings at once can allow Fauna to activate Guardian Tree in rapid succession, which can assist in dealing damage against large enemy groups or bosses.
* As a character with access to multiple healing options, Fauna is one of the characters who is able to benefit from Injection Type Asacoco while having the ability to counteract its HP drain, making it a good potential source of additional ATK.
