Nature Spirits

Eithan reflects on nature spirits in Blackflame, book 3.

Appearance

Born only a vaguely defined blue spirit seed with the capacity to develop into any form, Little Blue becomes female, probably because that’s how Lindon perceived her. When we first meet this character, she is only the size of Lindon’s little finger, blue and vaguely human-shaped. For various reasons she becomes more defined over the series, eventually developing arms, legs, fingers, toes, and becoming more capable in mind and body. At optimum strength she is deep blue in color, fading to robin’s egg blue when weakened and/or hungry. In Wintersteel Little Blue contracts with Lindon allowing her to grow to about a foot in height and making her body even more detailed, and a lighter shade of blue.

A Little Healer

Little Blue has a compassionate nature with the heart of a healer. As a pure Sylvan Riverseed, she has the power to cleanse spirits and soothe madra channels. She frequently helps Lindon and Orthos cleanse their spirits of Blackflame madra. In book 3, Blackflame, she helps Lindon mend the broken channels in Jai Chen, thus (unintentionally) helping to untangle and free her dragon-spirit, Fingerling.

In Underlord, just before an ambush from the Seishen Kingdom, she releases Emperor Naru Huan and Yerin from the sleepy effects of a misty boundary field.

Lindon set Little Blue onto the Emperor's shoulder. She leaned into his neck, pushing a bigger orb of blue into his madra channels than she had used on Yerin. It took her a hair longer this time, either because she found it harder to affect an Overlord or because the field was affecting her more strongly. (Underlord, ch 16)

Tiny Fighter; Techniques

In book 10, Little Blue is shown to have a measure of Lindon's pure Path. She can use the Empty Palm, manifesting it strong enough to interact with humans. Also, she can use a little bit of the Soul Cloak, and she can partially manifest the Hollow Domain. She demonstrates these powers when sparring with Wei Shi Kelsa and Jai Chen and other Jades and Low Golds to train them. She spars with young members of the Twin Star Sect. And with Jai Chen’s tiny dragon-spirit, Fingerling.

Fun-Loving

Little Blue likes to be with people. She like to cuddle Suriel’s blue marble and to ride on top of Lindon’s shoulder. She doesn’t like to be safely hidden away in the void closet. She enjoys the social company of others. In book 5, Ghostwater, she swims and plays with other tiny spirits in Northstrider’s well. In Wintersteel, Blue loves to zoom around on her own tiny cloudship. In Bloodline, she loves swimming and diving in her own pool, on the cloudship Windfall. She likes play-fighting with Fingerling, and riding around on tiny-Orthos in Reaper.

Whistles and Clicks

For those who listen carefully, she does communicate. Over the months she gradually develops the ability to communicate through clicks, coos, and whistles. Dross quickly learns to decipher her whistles and clicks. Akura Mercy seems to understand her at times. Because of their bond, Lindon can directly feel the emotions behind Little Blue's words.

Personality

Generally cheerful, helpful, and friendly. Brave. Loyal. Stubborn. She believes in Lindon, and can read his spirit to large extent. At first, she shied away from Yerin because of her blood shadow, but eventually came to love her as well. Fun-loving. She likes to be with people, to play, to cuddle, and to sleep near Suriel’s marble.
