WaterWraith

WaterWraith (also known as "Wraith" for short) is a charcter created by SoySpance on May 23rd, 2023. He's gone through many design updates and changes, but he is now in his final design stages.

## **Biography**

WaterWraith was originally a boy named Wes. He and his older brother, Ethan, were foster children, with the two of them often being shuffled between homes. When Wes was three, and his brother was seven, Ethan told Wes that there were invisible monsters in every body of water. He called these monsters "Water Wraiths," and said that they would attempt to drown and eat children without parents.

Wes developed hydrophobia due to this story. He was afraid to shower, and even drink water, and Ethan never told his younger brother that the story was made up.

Fortunately, Wes found solace in Sonic the Hedgehog. He created an OC named Riptide the Otter, who could control water, and was rewritting the entirety of Sonic Adventure 2 to include Riptide. Wes started a Webtoon Comic where he posted his progress on the series.

Things wouldn't last long, though.

The house where Wes and Ethan were currently situated had a pool in its backyard, and Wes was slated to take the garbage to the trash can in their backyard. The backyard had a pool in it, and Ethan decided to shove Wes in as a cruel joke.

However, Wes never learned how to swim, and he was panicking because he was terrified of the Water Wraiths coming to drown him. In their thrashing, Wes' phone electrocuted them, and an unconcious Wes ended up sinking to the bottom of the pool and drowning.

Wes' essence became trapped inside his comic, where he embodied Riptide the Otter and found out about his control over water.

Wes saw the Sonic of the world he created and decided that he was going to rename it to Ethan, then take his revenge out on poor Sonic.

Wes proceeded to torture and drown Ethan in multiple ways. He renamed himself to "WaterWraith," as Wes was now the subaquatic creature that needed to be feared.
