#twisst

Twisst is a curious and playful kwami, literally always getting into things. She’ll phase through objects and even living creatures just to see how they work. She has a lot of energy, and is almost always on the move, and thrives with a holder just as lively. Her body can stretch out much like the powers she grants, meaning nothing is quite ever out of her reach.

Twisst's Miraculous is a yellow spiral cord bracelet, and her tool is a slinky. Her favorite food is dondurma ice cream. Her transformation phrase is “Twisst, stretch out!”.

The other night I saw the International Space Station floating silently over chaotic London.

It’s an event that I’d been waiting to see for some time, but various circumstances (clouds, 4am fly-overs and tall buildings) had prevented me from doing so. But when the Twisst tweet came through telling me that the ISS would fly over that night and I saw that the skies were clear, I knew I couldn’t miss out any longer.

After loitering around in the twilight for ten minutes and pointing my phone (and The Night Sky app) to the west, I was finally rewarded with the sight I’d longed to see for so long: a bright, Venus-sized point of light sweeping up and over to the south-east.

As I watched it disappear into the distance, I wondered if the astronauts were up there, looking out for London.
