Tooth Fairy
Tooth Fairy is an Eidolon with a scorpion tail who trades venom treatments for teeth. Her venom relieves Remanence by purging minds of parasitic ideas from The Empyrean, though toxins poison flesh. She competes with the Little Mouse for tooth collection.
Appearance
Tooth Fairy has wings that buzz when landing. She possesses scorpion tail that flicks while scanning surroundings. She shows fangs to claim collected teeth as her property.
Venom Properties
Tooth Fairy’s venom relieves Remanence affliction by purging psyche of parasitic ideas from Empyrean. When stinger pierces skin, toxins help rein in intrusive thoughts lurking in mind. Tumult in mind relents after venom application.
However, venom poisons flesh as trade-off for mental relief. Skin turns gangrenous purple where barb enters. Drop of blood appears when stinger is removed.
Tooth Collection Competition
When humans leave a tooth somewhere, it functions as a ritual summoning that both the Tooth Fairy and Little Mouse must answer. This competition has existed for a long time. Each tooth collected grants the collector more power, while stealing a rival’s cached teeth weakens them. The Tooth Fairy prefers to let the Little Mouse believe it has free rein, then steal its buried caches.
