Chatter

Chatter the vampire bat was born in Acquitaine.. probably. She thinks so at least. Chatter was gifted with great powers to speak with the animals - which includes humans. Chatter was born with magical powers to whisper and change whispers. She has a natural interest and intellect towards gathering and spreading stories. She's a natural spy!

Unfortunately.. Chatter also is very shy, and while she loves visiting the human festivals, gathering and spreading rumors, she never, ever, ever wants to be seen and will usually flee when she is noticed. Making it worse, Chatter has no sense of direction, and has long, long ago lost her colony of bats, and is now reduced to scavenging her meals off of napping goats. She has learned the local human language, and a few animal languages, and she's even learned how to sing!

Not that she would EVER EVER EVER let anyone hear her singing.


Her whispers will require a finesse roll to be convincing, ease factor probably 9 or 12... or possibly 6 + Folk Ken of the listener? Befriending her isn't hard, but earning a long-lasting Familiar bond will require you to prove yourself a good talker, because she loves to listen to people talk. Once done, you can bind her as a familiar with an Intellego Imaginem (or InAn) lab total of 5.

Powers:
  • Listening to the Wind(1 might): Chatter loves listening to the gossip of magical animals and people. She has found its much safer to listen from further away, and she is able to filter the different voices better. (InIm 15; base 1, +3 Sight, +1 concentration, +2 magnitudes for clarity; -1 might)
  • Pass on the Secrets(1 might): Little Chatter can also whisper her own voice out to where she wants it to be heard, in someone's ear, or in a distant place. (ReIm 5; base 5)
  • Whispers of Impish Delight(1 might): Her favorite trick, Chatter has the ability to alter the words said to be a different set of words. She's still learning, and it requires a tricky Finesse roll to pull it off unless people are... drunk, distracted, or over-eager, which is why Chatter likes doing it at parties. (MuIm 5; base 1, +3 sight, +1 intelligible speech)
Vis: 4 imaginem vis in ears and eyes
