Origin Moth dancer of the Hakurai shrines

Runae tended the white silk moths of the Hakurai shrines, which carry sleepers' memories away before dawn so no one wakes too heavy. One memory she carried from her sister Shiraka, raised behind the palace screens, she will never name. When the Moth Prince Somnar began harvesting mortal dreams to weave court shrouds, she took up the shrine's moon blades, cut from Dalaen's fallen shard, and stepped into the waking veil. She met Dalaen once, to see whose shard it was. She dances between sleep and its end: a murmur that drops a warlord into a dream, a blade that finishes the dream kindly. Her destined office is Dreams. Somnar holds it, and nobody in Hakurai has slept well since.

Close your eyes. Sleep is the only mercy left above.

Runae learned to fold across distances while chasing stray silk moths through the misted colonnades of Hakurai shrines. She turns on bare feet, her gauze robes of white and dusk-lilac blurring into a pale shimmer as she vanishes from the front ranks. Reappearing instantly behind enemy lines, her trailing sleeves spread wide like fluttering wings, scattering a dense burst of pale scale powder that cuts against skin like shattered glass.

She gathered this soothing secret while tending nocturnal blooms in Hakurai shrines, where sleepers surrender their memories to the dark. Runae raises a pale hand with half-lidded silver-grey eyes fixed upon the fiercest foe. With a gentle breath, she blows a stream of dusk-lilac dream dust across the air. The shimmering cloud wraps around the target in soft spirals, stinging the senses before plunging them into helpless slumber.

Years of stepping between the waking veil and quiet dreams taught Runae to move like smoke when blades fall. Her trailing sleeves constantly shed a fine veil of shimmering pale scale powder that catches the light whenever foes strike at her. The swirling dust bends incoming attacks aside while revealing tender gaps, guiding her moon blades to strike with quiet, lethal precision.

When Moth Prince Somnar harvested dreams for court shrouds, Runae took up the shrine's moon blades to defend sleeping souls. Gliding forward on bare feet with a dancer's grace, she draws the curved sickle blades cut from Dalaen's fallen moon shard. Their milky pearl-white edges flare with cold silver-blue light as she carves a crescent arc across her quarry. The strike cuts deep into flesh, severing breath and sinew with merciful quiet.

Runae nurtured the white silk moths of Hakurai shrines until they answered the quiet humming of her voice. She spins gracefully, ringing the silver anklets on her bare feet as she sweeps trailing sleeves upward. A whirling storm of palm-sized silk moths erupts outward in all directions, their soft feathered antennae glowing with dusk-lilac light. The fluttering ring buffets surrounding foes with mystic chills, clinging to limbs and slowing their advance.

After meeting Dalaen and accepting her destined office of Dreams, Runae learned to deliver the kindest end to those whose hours are spent. She dissolves into a flurry of white silk and moon silver, reappearing soundlessly behind the most wounded foe. Crossing her translucent sickle blades at their throat, cold silver-blue radiance flares as she shears through body and spirit with pure, unyielding finality, leaving behind only drifting petals of dusk-lilac light.

Appearance

Runae is a small, slender dancer in her mid twenties, lighter-built than her sister Shiraka, with a soft pale face, dreamy half-lidded silver-grey eyes and long straight black hair worn loose to the waist with a white silk ribbon. She wears the dress of a Hakurai shrine moth tender: layered robes of white and dusk-lilac silk, light as gauze, with long trailing sleeves cut like moth wings and dusted with shimmering pale scale powder and bare feet with silver anklets. Her weapons are the shrine's two moon blades, cut from Dalaen's fallen moon shard: short curved sickle blades the length of her forearm, milky pearl-white and half translucent with a cold silver-blue glow inside, on hilts wrapped in white silk cord. White silk moths the size of a palm, with soft feathered antennae, always flutter around her. Palette: white, dusk lilac, moon silver. Silhouette hook: a barefoot dancer in wing-sleeved robes inside a cloud of white moths.
