The Bronze arranged for Triumphant Wave's birth to a tribe of Wyld barbarians in the east of Creation. Her childhood was full of strange omens, so the shamans of the tribe initiated her into their ranks. She made many vision quests into the Wyld, dutifully learned the magic of her tribe and had dealings with both Lunars and fae.

When her understanding of the Wyld surpassed that of all her elders, the Sidereals spirited her away to a Manse built on an island of stability within the Wyld. There, she learned all about her nature and her duties. She was to further her superiors' insight into the Wyld. Again, she did as she was told, and dedicated herself to her studies.

Repeated controlled exposure to the Wyld left her with mutations, but also with an intuitive knowledge of it. Her master argued about whether they should risk an Essence shard like this, whether it could be destroyed, or worse, changed into something dangerous, by the Wyld.

While they argued, she ventured once more into the Wyld where she experienced the most intense vision of her life. As her elders had feared, it changed her deepest core, her Exaltation itself. They do not know exactly what the strange energies of the Wyld did to her. But they watch her very, very carefully.

Roleplaying Hints

As long as they do not deny her downright obsessive need to study the Wyld, she dutifully does as her masters in the Bronze tell her. She is very analytical and not at all prone to rash action. Indeed, she mostly evades combat and other dangerous situations, as she considers herself an intellectual.

Image

Triumphant Wave is tall and thin, with skin the color of charcoal and bright red hair that she keeps cropped short. One of her mutations is obvious – horns grow from her temples and wind themselves tightly around her head. Unless a Resplendent Destiny necessitates otherwise, she wears simple grey robes befitting a scholar.

Equipment

Unusually for a Sidereal, Triumphant Wave has only a tiny Manse in Heaven, but a much larger one in Creation. The latter lies in the east of Creation, near the Wyld, and is protected by a tribe of beastmen. When not on a mission, she prominently displays Riddling Leviathan, a pair of Slayer Khatars given to her First Age incarnation by a Lunar lover, inside her Creation Manse. The building features a vast library of tomes and scrolls on the Wyld. She always carries a Ghost-Seeing Blindfold, a Hearthstone Amulet and a Ring of Being on her; she only attunes to the ring when she expects to deal intimately with the Wyld. On missions, she carries a pair of Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers. She possesses two Hearthstones, one from each Manse: a Godspeaking Trillion and a Rose of Millions.

Resplendent Destinies

Blood-Cry Celene
College: Guardians, Remaining Duration: 10 years, 13 Effect Points
She enjoys appearing as wise old shaman to the tribe that calls the lands surrounding her Creation Manse its home. When not "away on a vision quest", she gives them aid in the form of talismans, predictions of the weather and the fate of the people and other tasks trivially easy for a Sidereal.

Victorious Tide
College: Sorcerer, Remaining Duration: 400 years, 3 Effect Points
This is her front identity as young and eager-to-learn Sidereal. She dons this resplendent destiny when she wants to be remembered as a specific Chosen of the Maidens, be it for her work in Heaven or her dealings with the elder Lunars who have retained knowledge of her kind.

Mnemon Talia
College: Treasure Trove, Remaining Duration: 1 year, 5 Effect Points
Talia is a scholar-monk of the Immaculate Order studying the Wyld who is often there to counsel the Wyld Hunt on hunting Fair Folk and the occasional Lunar. That her advice is of a more theoretical nature than the members of the Hunt would prefer doesn’t bother her at all.
