Wexler

“???”-Wexler "The symbiotic discoverer"

Wexler is a survivor and minor character in Hymns from the Hypogean. A shy but easily excitable dryad-what she lacks in voice she makes up in versatility with her pet pneuma "Jimmy" ; able to take any form the two of them are both looking forward to learning everything-as long as it doesn’t require talking.

Personality
Wexler is often shy, ignoring any chances of battle and barely interacting with foreign creatures; even if it's just a worm that can talk she believes that it is not to be trusted. However, when it comes to anything but animals, she acts all peppy and full of glee as she views every object that isn't from her home as new and exciting.

Her pet Pneuma-which has dubbed itself as "James"-is mostly the same but with a more hostile and violent tone. More so, unlike Wexler, It can speak fluent languages and has seen most of what the Hypogean has to offer. It's unclear as to why it decides to travel with Wexler more so change into objects that is able to defend her. However its memory is limited and is prone to fits of anger when left on an empty stomach.

Life during the Hypogean
The most known about her life is how she had reacted to the "Entrenching plague." To her accounts it was the first time she had learnt about the event happening outside her home and people. She wept at the sight of many of her species succumbing to the plague and grew to be paranoid of the outside world but she unfortunately had to abandon her home along with a handful of her species. This was the first time she had explored the Hypogean and unlike other creatures that she had feared upon seeing. She instead grew to adore the outside and once finding an area deemed suitable for her and her surviving kind, she quickly volunteered to be head of food searching-although she often brang fruits and vegetables rather than meat as that would've required a conflict. During those searches she grew fond of the plant life and the many tunnels and caves.

Once the Entrenching plague had ended and her surviving species had moved back to their old home, she constantly had an itch to return back to the wild and leave her wooded homeland. After several days of the itch remaining, she gave in and left her home.

At some point on her adventure she had found James. His recount of the tale is as follows.

When Wexler had discovered James, she had actually approached him as if he was an old friend, turn out that she had apparently confused him for a trinket and had accidentally held onto him as a novelty. Suddenly, when a strange band of marauders had begun to attack, he leaped from her satchel and had a sudden urge to defend Wexler. After the marauders had fled, it was at this point that Wexler had realized James was an alive creature.

What happens next is not known.

Trivia

 * Paranoid, (refuses to use normal weapons aside from Hambat, and doesn't use armor that isn't grass.)
