Wormwood

Licorictus

"STEP INTO THE LIGHT"

A blindingly bright hole in the world, vaguely in the form of a barn owl
Appears to have diprosopus; its three dark eyes see all
Often hovers in midair, doesn't need to flap its wings to fly
Rarely speaks, and when it does it uses short, cryptic phrases
- Its voice is hollow and startlingly loud. It does not need to open its mouths to speak.
There are dark teeth inside both its mouths, but it rarely opens either of them.
- It can produce a deafeningly loud screech from both its throats, the sound of which resembles a barn owl's.
- It only does this if it is displeased.
Its "feathers" have a consistency almost like fog, and often drift or trail behind anything or anyone that touches them.

Eclectic, spontaneous
Bad at respecting physical and emotional boundaries, often makes people uncomfortable
Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand
Has no awareness of when it's overstayed its welcome, inserts itself into situations it has no business being in
Fears what it doesn't understand, would start a witch hunt

Watching, listening, observing from afar
Bright lights, which can mesmerize it for long periods of time
Deep fog and heavy snow, when everything is white and still and Wormwood vanishes against the backdrop of the world around it

Most things it's unfamiliar with
- It can be made to understand something it doesn't know about, but it can be a Herculean task to get it to that point
Heavy wind and rain, which disturb its "feathers"
Being ignored - it's perhaps the fastest way to make it angry

Claims to have come from a star
Usually holds very still
Tends to leave tiny glowing specks of light wherever it goes
Doesn't need to eat, but can't resist devouring any uncooked bread dough it sees
Attracts moths at night and flies during the day

Its appearance is variable - it can be drawn with different limbs, wings, tail, etc.
The chromatic aberration is not necessary
