Whisper was an Incarnata and Darcy's attendant.

## Personality

Whisper was a kind and considerate woman who was unfailingly loyal to her friends.

## Story

Willomina was born in Essex 1607 to a physically abusive father and a neglectful mother, along with two brothers, one of whom she hated, and the other she didn't. In her mid-teens, she worked as a cleaner in a brothel belonging to Kallistrata, who at that time was known as t*he Greek*. She did not see much of Kallistrata as she only came out at night but saw her as extremely beautiful and admired the aura of confidence she gave off, as she herself was quiet and timid.

That was why she did not question it when one night, Kallistrata called her to her room late one night, and did not fight when Kallistrata sunk her teeth into her neck and drunk her blood. Kallistrata asked Willomina what she would want if she had a second chance at life, and she responded that she wants to be stronger, more intimidating, and so Kallistrata fed her blood to her and Willomina was reborn as a Vampire of the Incarnata caste.

The first thing she did upon getting used to her power was to return to her home, where she murdered the father who beat her, the mother who let it happen, and both of her brothers. From then on, Kallistrata trained Willomina in the art of murder and she became a proficient assassin.

One night, Willomina, now known as Whisper, asked Kallistrata why she chose to turn her, of all people. The woman responded amusedly that she merely wanted to see if she could turn the mousey maid girl into a monster. At this, Whisper cried, at which point Kallistrata decided she was bored and sent her to serve Rook. Whisper's life took a turn for the better here as Rook was a considerate and fair master who honestly cared for her.

Many years later, 8 years after the comet impact, Whisper was made the personal attendant of Darcy Dunraven following her rebirth as an Anointed One. Whisper was initially frightened of Darcy, as Darcy's confusion and shame caused her to show hostility to Whisper. However, as Darcy learned to accept her new nature, she and Whisper became very close friends.

During the battle of Locryn Castle, Whisper was sent to warn the residents of Kallistrata's attack. However, she was staked and abducted by Jepson Belgrave who tortured her for information regarding Darcy's whereabouts. After she was saved by Darcy and Hope, Whisper accompanied Darcy and the newly turned Felix to Antrim in search of Rook's Maker, Fionnuir.

After Darcy and Fionnuir left for Devil's Delve, Felix tried to go after her, but was stopped by Whisper who went after him. The two were forced to hide in a church due to the appearance of a local human militia, thinking that they would not think to look for vampires inside of a church. However, the militia were not naive and forced their way inside, causing the two to try and flee. Felix had thought that Whisper was behind him, but in truth she had gone to hold them off so that Felix could escape. The militia staked Whisper with a crossbow and cut off her head, killing her, and taking her head with them as a trophy.

When Felix realized that Whisper wasn't with him, he went back for her but only found her headless corpse, which he carried back to Antrim. Her death hit Darcy especially hard. She had gone to the militia's camp and used shrouding to maneuver through and reclaim her head. She had initially decided to spare them, as they had children and families and reminded her of her old self, but later, in a fit of delirious rage following a vision shown to her by the dagger, she slaughtered every last one of them, something that she did not remember afterward.
