Unicorn (WTA)

Unicorn is pure, powerful, strong, and wise. She is a totem spirit of peace, harmony, and healing, and is the Patron Spirit of the Children of Gaia.

Overview[]

The unicorn represents the pure understanding and unbridled love of Gaia and shares this love with her followers. Unicorn's Children gain its swiftness in the Spirit Wilds, moving at twice their normal speed across the shadowy landscape. The Children of the Unicorn find it easier to heal and harder to harm other Garou not of the Wyrm.

The efficacy of all Gifts involving peace, healing, strength, and protection is increased in the hands of a Child of Unicorn. Children of Gaia will always give aid, and will usually side with the Pack in any disputes. The Pack gains Wisdom Renown for being associated with such a wise Totem.

While Unicorn is a Totem that eschews violence, it has a different aspect known as Black Unicorn, who acts as a Totem of War and is willing to support warriors.

Favors and Bans[]

In Werewolf 5th Edition, Unicorn is the Patron Spirit of the Children of Gaia, rather than their totem. Unicorn is, like the Garou, a mystery and a wonder to the modern world. Humans think of Unicorn as a spirit of the forests, and that can be true, but just as much, Unicorn is a spirit of mysterious places, those locales that are themselves as elusive as she. Unicorn and the Children of Gaia are associated with Wisdom.^[1]

Favor[]

Unicorn encourages her followers to learn how people and spirits interrelate, understand what makes the Umbra and the physical world work as they do, and restore things to their function. A Child of Gaia may add a die to an Awareness or Insight dice pool related to learning something about an individual person, animal, or spirit.

Ban[]

Unicorn is forthright and despises dishonesty. If a Child of Gaia must lie or misdirect, or hides truths specifically for personal gain, they may recover only a single Willpower at the start of the next session, instead of their Composure or Resolve rating.
