Respectful Pianist

* Standard
* Ascended

The **Respectful Pianist** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Rhythm who offers the  Respect expression. The Pianist is found at the back of the Wasteland Graveyard, in a hollow boulder between the large darkness tree and the passage to the Battlefield. The cosmetics offered by this spirit are  Hair, the  Winter Piano (instrument), and a  Mask.

## Memory

The Respectful Pianist spirit can be found in a hollow boulder between the large darkness tree and the passage to the battefield (a dark plant occasionally spawns in there). This Spirit is a carry-spirit memory quest, with a 15-minute overall time limit. The memory follows the journey of the Respectful Pianist across the Graveyard, ending on a high ledge above the tunnel with a darkness plant inside it.

Owing to the nature of this memory, this quest can be a little hard to complete (similar to the Pleaful Parent’s memory quest, but not as hard). It goes into the tunnel which a krill periodically enters, and if your timing is off, you may find yourself face to face with the krill. Having a friend nearby to distract the krill/pick up your fallen winged light if anything goes wrong would make things a lot easier. It is also not advisable to burn the staircase of dark plants before attempting the memory, as they help the player advance up to the ledge where the final memory fragment stands. Otherwise, the player might have to fly up to the ledge, risking dropping the spirit spark onto the ground below.

At the end of the memory, the Pianist puts a hand to their chest, and bows their head towards you in a solemn acknowledgment, as if respecting you for walking into danger to free them.

## Expression

The  Respect expression has 4 levels.

Respect Level 1Respect Level 2Respect Level 3Respect Level 4
* Level 1 will make your avatar bow their head and place their right hand over their chest, while a gong and trumpet fanfare play in the background.
* Level 2 makes the same motion as Level 1, with a ring of warm yellow light circling your hand when you place it on your heart.
* Level 3 will make your avatar lean down on their right knee, bow their head, and place their right hand over their chest, while a louder gong and trumpet fanfare play. The fanfare is also higher-pitched than the fanfare that can be heard during the first level of this expression.
* Level 4 makes the same motion as Level 3, with the same ring of warm yellow light circling your hand as seen in the second level of this expression.

As a Traveling Spirit, the prices of the three expression upgrades were the standard 4 , 3 , and 6 . During the Season, Levels 2 and 4 were free, but were only available to Season Pass holders.
