Vesper

The Vesper

Bat-like race of Milk's birth, whose wings she contrasted with those of her chosen Xenopus form.

Story so far

The Vesper are the bat-like race Milk was born into, giving her the bat half — the leathery wings — of the creature who wraps Carl in an embrace inside the Calligraphy Guild.

She wrote extensively about the differences between the wings of her chosen race, the Xenopus, and those of her birth race, the Vesper. That published comparison is exactly what lets Carl place the guildmaster before he even finishes reading the name over her head.

Appearance

Bat-like, defined by long leathery wings distinct in structure from Xenopus wings.

Role

Milk's birth race and half of the identity that reveals her to Carl.

Relationships

Milk — Her birth race.
Xenopus — The chosen race she compared it against.
