Whistler

"People aren't nice, but they're better than most things." -Whistler "The Pied Piper"

Lydia "Whistler" Crisist is a main character and survivor in Hymns from the Hypogean. She is a victim of type 1 Osteogenesis imperfecta who traveled into the constant before stumbling down in the Hypogean.

Life before the Constant.
Born in 1917 in Chicago Illinois, Lydia "Whistler" Crisist was born with a minor form of Osteogenesis imperfecta. Due to this "Brittle bone" disease, she was shunned and subquently viewed as the "Black sheep" in her family despite still being able to walk and run-but with greater difficulty. Throughout her life very few people had shown her any sort of view of equality whether it be strangers or even the people closest to friends. Despite these subsequent downs with various people, she remained her goal to be a people person, often attempting to be a social butterfly.

In 1925, during a small reward for acomplishing a rather difficult task, she visited a local zoological garden. At first it seemed benign and uplifting but quickly turned dispiriting as she realized she gained more of a connection from the animals than from her family. A series of competitions and games would have her manage to gain several items that seemed to be worth more than anything she ever had. The gift of a tribal-esque mask and a carved panflute were the "crème de la crème" of her rewards.

Months later she continued her attempts toward her goals taking music and medicine in a vain attempt to get along with her family. It was all for naught as she deemed missing when she suddenly disappeared with no traces nor leads toward her location except for black puddles and a collective amount of pages with indecipherable writing.

Life during the Constant.
Upon arriving in the constant, Whistler immediately begun to panic at the sight of several large beast. In her ensuing escape from one the large creatures she suddenly began to tumble down a series of holes before violently hitting a rocky floor. She survived but with her right leg nearly shattered and her mask slightly cracked and damaged. She quickly realized that she would have to learn to survive in her new foreign world with her disease.

During an attempt to capture several rodents she came across a small settlement inhabited by large rabbits, small color based creatures and talking reptiles. She awed at the sight of civilization-or at least a form of it-and quickly took toward making friends and possible allies. She found it equally difficult as her life before the constant as despite being animals, the reptiles and rabbits still continued some human traits. She was still subsequently viewed as inferior due to her disease and so she left back towards the wilds, taking occasional visits toward the settlement for trading and occasional medical remedies and supplies.

After months of living in the constant Whistler grew accustom to her surroundings using her pan flute, mask and a series of musical notes to make allies with the wildlife. She adores her temporary allies despite them usually leaving her either by choice or by force. In her life only three of her allies had permanently remained with her and she hopes that they remain her friends, a white bat, a bell boy and a freak lover.
