Wilsie Brody, known as Wisp, is a Seelie Irish wolfhound Pooka Wilder and member of the Scalawags.
Overview[]
Wisp refuses to tell either her true background or her real name. Of course, trying to get that information from a pooka can be a task in any case. She is a gifted instrumentalist and singer and joined the Scalawags after apparently wearing out her welcome in Limerick. Something about too many dirty puns in her poems...
In truth, Wisp is on the run from her mother's uncle Doyle, a pooka who recently became one of the Dauntain. He knows of his grand-niece's changeling nature and is determined to "save her from herself." Uncle Doyle was the one who saw Wisp through her Chrysalis and taught her what she knows about the Kithain. Wisp's last image of him was of a terrifyingly tall monster looming over her with an iron-tipped club in his hands. The frightened girl ran as far as she could then hid out in the Scalawags' costume wagon. When they discovered her two days later, she begged to join the show and has been with them ever since. They provide good cover and will defend her if Uncle Doyle ever shows up.

Wisp looks nothing like her name. She is 5'10" tall and well muscled, with a happy, though not overly pretty face. She has short, shaggy, light hair that looks as though she has prematurely grayed. She prefers big, loose shirts belted over jeans and walking shoes. She and Tully often end up at the same place looking for new clothes. As a laugh (or sad jest), she wears a spiked dog collar.
While her ears and tail are no more evident than any Irish wolfhound's, her overall structure and facial hair (the envy of Tully and Wilsie's bane) identify her for what she is immediately. She doesn't have any court clothes except the bardic costumes she wears for performances.
Personal[]
Wilsie has started to relax a little. Maybe her uncle can't find her as long as she continues to travel around; never staying in one place too long. Her playing and singing have become so much better, honed by hours of practice and nightly performances, that she could probably ask for a position as bard in any court but she likes the people she's with and feels safer being on the move. She always remembers, though, that Uncle Doyle is out there somewhere. That bump in the night might be nothing, but it could be him coming to get her. She takes no chances.
