QHW, Day 13: Elements

Water Child
Souls and elementals are not that different. Both are spirits, one possessing a living body, the other an unliving one. Sometimes, an elemental can be sired by a human "parent". When a small child dies by drowning, their radiant, young soul full of life may imprint itself upon unliving matter, upon the water filling their lungs. A water child is born.

Water children are not undead. Just like a new life is created in the womb of a mother, a new life emerges from the lungs of a drowned child in a torrent of animated water. They have no form in the real world, but in the spirit world they appear as the child they once were, soaked wet. Even though they are always immaterial, they leave wet footprints in Reality where-ever they go.

Water children are confused and scared, haunted by shards of memories they inherited. They remember having a family, and they want their family back. They want their friends back, too. Water children cannot leave their new, watery home for long, and so their friends and family must come to them. Water children will seek to lovingly drown anyone they knew in their past life.

Def unarmoured, immaterial
Atk loving hug that fills lungs with water
Wants to return to "their" life, to find friends
