Siriloo Driftwhistle

Healthy but slight; built more for agility and performance than combat. Amphibious lungs and gills allow both aquatic and land travel.

Cranial frills, webbed hands and feet, a long tapered tail, glowing bioluminescent freckles that brighten when performing

Siriloo’s gills flicker to the rhythm of their emotions. When they laugh or cry, it’s musical—like wind chimes and tremolos combined.

• Emotionally Attuned Performance (can use music to communicate or soothe)
• Natural Amphibious Adaptation (breathe air and water)
• Feywild Tuning: Siriloo can subtly influence mood within a 10 ft. aura when playing music

• A patchwork coat made from Feywild leaves, velvet, and feathers
• A belt of windchime charms and carved bone whistles
• A glimmer-threaded scarf woven by dryad weavers

• Soul-Tied Saxophone (arcane instrument focus; bonded to Siriloo's restored melody)
• A shell-shaped harmonizer that echoes their current emotional state (a Feywild “mood ring”)

Raised in a nomadic music troupe in the Feywild, Siriloo’s early life was filled with performances, festivals, and magic. Their melody was stolen by the Dreamthief Mareth, fracturing their identity until they recovered it with the party’s help.

Oral-tradition learning from bards, minstrels, satyrs, and emotional resonance-based lessons. Trained in interpretive performance, dream-singing, and fey harmonic manipulation.

Formerly a wandering bard and storyteller. Now a traveling companion to the party and chronicler of mortal songs.

• Composed a lullaby so powerful it once put a hill giant and a banshee to sleep simultaneously
• Performed for the Gloamcourt’s silent king and made him tap his toe

• Once accidentally charmed a whole village into dancing for two days straight
• Couldn’t save their parents from fading into the mists—still unclear whether it was fey magic or abandonment

• Emotionally intelligent, artistically brilliant, musically synesthetic
• Middling at math, terrible at counting coins

“Truth lives in a song sung without fear. All we can do is play the next note as honestly as we can.”

• Will never perform for cruelty’s sake
• Cannot abide magical silence spells used as control

To witness and preserve the songs of others—to be part of a harmony that grows beyond the self. They believe stories only matter when shared, and music only thrives when it changes.
