| ◆ THE DRIFTER ◆ |
| A Searcher, aspiring to find a cure. |
| Silent, adaptable, and deathly ill, the Drifter has braved countless dangers without faltering, or even speaking aloud. Their hunt for a cure to their sickness has brought them through innumerable obstacles of every sort, up to and including their own death at the hands of their illness and at those creatures that stand in their way. Aided by the silent jackal god, they would learn to get up from even death each time, persevering past the point where anyone else would have given up. They have been battered and broken more times than they can count, hounded at all times by the spectral appearances of the Immortal Cell, Judgment, that festers in their organs and eats away at their health from the inside out. They still dream of its toxic influence, and they continue to cough up their own blood when their trials grow particularly difficult. Despite that, they do not give up. As long as they can stand on their own two feet, they will endure and fight through whatever needs fighting in order to reach the end of their journey. They had presumed that the destruction of the Immortal Cell had ended their long struggle with sickness - and ended it with death, as well as the jackal god's vision that would promise the world's return to health and prosperity. But when they awoke on the archipelago of LifeAftr, such proved not to be the case at all...and even more perplexing, there would be innumerable others willing to not only tolerate the Drifter's presence, but accept them as something almost like an ally. As the Drifter has struggled to remain detached, in the tradition of a nomadic warrior such as themself, they have finally come to accept that this resolve will inevitably end in failure. Logistically and practically, it would never have been possible, and the Drifter has been forced to confront the simple fact that they have not avoided becoming attached; that they, in fact, care a great deal for everyone they have encountered, and are willing to pour everything they are into protecting them. |

I know that this may come out wrong
But sometimes wrong is what we need
Before our time will fly by
In a heart beat
And we will be there both agree to disagree
So let me come out to the rescue
Before it's gonna be too late
And let's just show appreciation
I don't want us to look back and regret
Thank you for all the good that you've done
I gave you the moon and you gave me the sun
Thank you for all the good that you've done
I gave you my heart and you gave me the sun
It would not cease there, either. Given every chance, Muffet has each time elected to be polite and helpful rather than exploiting the Drifter’s obvious illness for her own gain. She proves also a talented cook and far more acquainted with the unfamiliar foods and landscapes of the world of LifeAftr than the Drifter themself is.
But above all, she is perhaps the first to establish herself as a friend willing to lend a helping hand without the expectation that they must repay her. She does not view them as expendable because of their occupation or the blue tint of their skin, something that must be avoided or perhaps even spat upon. And that in and of itself makes her more than a little extraordinary.
