Lives of Bombyx Mori

This article is about the different incarnations of the soul of Bombyx Mori. If you are looking for the character, see Bombyx's page.

## Description

Bombyx Mori is a character that was first introduced in Arc 3 as a party member. She is played by Amelia.

As a Reborn, Bombyx has lived many different lives, and will continue living many different lives after their death. Amelia has since played various different characters on the podcast, some of which are reincarnations of them, some of which are not.

Whenever a reincarnation of this soul dies, they are immediately reborn in a new body. Usually, when they are physically able to get pregnant and have a child, they die in childbirth and are immediately reborn as their own child. There is one instance known in which they had a child without dying, and this was not supposed to have happened.

They can remember little bits about their past lives, which can sometimes help them with things that are happening in the present.

## Known Incarnations

Canonically confirmed incarnations of the soul of Bombyx, listed in chronological order of their life. Not included is Not-Bombyx (see Annie and Charles' Day of Fun), who is not a reincarnation, but simply a fey creature disguised and acting as them.

* **Nea Veia** - dies more than 30 years before Arc 10 in childbirth
* **Nea Veia's daughter** - born more than 30 years before Arc 10, dies in Arc 10 Episode 7. She seems to have adopted her mother's identity.
* **Draen'd** - a tree person born at the end of Arc 10 in the Feywild, later lands in the Material Plane through a portal. Because of the time anomalies between the Material Plane and the Feywild, Draen'd lands in the Material Plane at around the time that Nea Veia's daughter dies.
* **Kedyra** - Salas's Mother, dies in childbirth and is reborn as Salas probably about 30 years before the Age of Pinn, after having survived her first pregnancy. (Thus, Salas is in the weird position of having the same soul as the woman that gave birth to his older sister, and sometimes describes her as his daughter.)
* **Salas** - born probably around 30 years before the Age of Pinn, dies in 71 AP, Arc 6 backup character
* **Unnamed Half-Elf** - born 71 AP in Glaceria, dies around 90-100 AE
* **Bombyx Mori** - born around 90-100 AE, Arc 3 party member, first incarnation shown on podcast

## Known Lives

Apart from confirmed and possibly even named characters, there are some mentions of lives their soul has lived before. It is unknown which of these lives belong to any of the incarnations mentioned above and which of them are other reincarnations.

* Thousands of years ago, the person who first domesticated silk worms. They spent a lot of time going through the forest and looking for an insect with a soft cocoon that was capable of swarming.
* A thief, probably a few centuries before Bombyx.
* One time, someone cut off their head.
* Once knew a wizard named Althior, who had a teacup dragon and was stoned in both definitions of the word. He killed Bombyx three times before they became friends, lived in a volcano, and might have become a lich.
	+ One of those murders might be Nea Veia's daughter. Technically, Tiffany / Althior does not kill her, but brings her close enough to death that Bombyx might count it anyways.
* Has been to Malum before and probably shouldn't go there again for some time.
	+ Nea Veia and her daughter live in or visit Malum, but it is uncertain whether they are connected to Bombyx not wanting to go there.

## Trivia

* Salas being a reincarnation of Bombyx was hinted at before in Arc 3 Episode 0, where Amelia said that Bombyx "might have been an Elf some time ago"
* Originally, Amelia had no Bombyx reference for Arc 10. When she then got an idea, she restructured the arc around that idea.
* Amelia does not plan on ever playing Kedyra, because she is "an absolute cunt".
