Hawkclash-n-company stories

that water ripple drawing is kinda dogshit but whatever ill just redraw it one day ((WHEN I LEARN HOW 2 DRAW)), it shows how she interacts with the water

Her Backstory: Moonlit Water hails from a kodan sanctuary called the Song of the Stars, situated on the western side of the Anvil Rock Mountain. their sister sanctuary was called Song of the Sun, on the eastern slope. Together the two sanctuaries collaborated to document and monitor the movement of the sky, both astrological bodies and celestial spirits that inhabit it. Both sanctuaries were destroyed in the Dragonstorm of 1334, most of the extensive records were destroyed, and Moonlit Water had to flee. Now she wanders Tyria, hoping to find somewhere she can continue fulfilling the sanctuaries' purpose. (the astralarium in istan, gurl!!! the desert is too hot for her though)

Her Magic: A bit of headcanon: celestials have names, but a lot of the time, there is no spoken language equivalent. They are the embodiments of the stars, and each twinkling of a star is unique: that is like their name being broadcasted. Using a large, reflective body of water during a clear full moon night, Moony can coordinate intercepting ripples on the surface to match the unique twinkle of a distant celestial body, magnifying the reflected light and essentially calling its name. She can draw down curious celestials that otherwise might be very hard to contact, her magic is an act of propitiation in itself. So when people require the consultation of a particular celestial, whether to beseech a blessing or pursue information, she can help them out.
