Spectre

Caretaker

There's a difference between solitude and loneliness.~ Maggie Smith

It’s thought that long ago, an unknown tragedy befell Spectre. She is like a ghost, delicate and frail, with so flimsy a body and so wonderful a temperament that she must be some sort of benevolent spirit. Her saintly demeanor and mysterious past are a subject of great curiosity to her clanmates, but she is so loved that few dare pry for information. They all fear that if pressured, she might simply fall apart, crumbling to dust and lost on the wind.

She came to the clan as an adolescent. She arrived with a freshly-healed wound and a small pack of belongings, and little else. Initially, she was mute. She trembled her first evening with the clan, burrowed beneath blankets used to keep her warm in the harsh weather. Was she trembling because of the cold, or because she was haunted by an unknown trauma? She never said, so now, nobody knows.

She healed well, and soon began to speak. Her bright voice is like honey, and kindness permeates her speech. She was soon beloved by the entire clan, but while she seemed to reciprocate that love, it was clear that she wanted to keep some level of emotional distance. She fears rejection and she fears pain, but she also longs for companionship and the warmth of trust.

This is a horrible conundrum for the gentle dragon. She wants what her own fears will not allow her to have. She loves her clan, but mingling too closely swiftly becomes painful. She does what she can, but packages her anxieties with fake smiles. She participates in the clan’s social life here and there, but spends most of her time alone, humming to herself to alleviate the loneliness, though many of the others don’t recognize it as a lonely gesture. They just hear beautiful music.

It isn’t that nobody wants to help, merely that they don’t understand. Sometimes, Spectre wants to reach out to them, but her fears paralyze her, and she becomes more distant. Her peers have learned not to pursue. She will come closer when she’s ready, whenever that may be.

In all of this, she has found one type of solace. She works as the clan’s hatchling caretaker. She sees innocent beauty in the hatchlings, and her gentle touch is perfect for teasing them. She is patient and loving, but the hatchlings don’t inspire the same fears in her as adult dragons.

She loves her clan, and she is eternally thankful to them for saving her. She is also thankful that they don’t misinterpret her problems as mistrust or a lack of gratitude. They continue to treat her well, even if she often feels trapped by her own loneliness.

She finds fulfilment through her job, and also through the simple beauty of the world around her. There was a time when she thought that the world was filled with only cruel people. Now, she knows that is not true.
