Thalen Myrr (The Mirrorhollow)

Echo-Bound Child #3: The Mask That Would Not Let Go

Name:

Thalen Myrr (The Mirrorhollow)

Age:

13

Region:

Fadefield

Linked Cryptid:

The Skin-Sleeper

“He no longer knows which name is his. Only that something still wears him.”

Appearance & Essence:

• Pale olive skin with shifting patches of light and shadow across his arms—like memories trying to form

• Eyes that subtly change hue depending on who he’s speaking to

• Wears layered cloaks and scarves made of discarded names and torn ceremony veils

• Often has a cracked mirror shard tied around his wrist with ritual thread

Personality & Traits:

• Quietly witty, but struggles with self-consistency

• Sometimes answers to names that aren't his—but doesn’t seem to notice

• Avoids his own reflection, yet collects masks obsessively

• Can mimic voices perfectly, even ones he’s never heard aloud

Spiritual Bond with the Skin-Sleeper:

• The cryptid found him when he tried to erase his own name during a spiral fasting rite

• Their bond is shadow-bound—Thalen dreams as the Skin-Sleeper, and sometimes awakens speaking in others' tones

• He refers to it only as “Mirror-Me”, and sometimes doesn’t know if it's speaking or if he is

Glitch Threat:

• The Nullwoven wish to overwrite his identity into a blank recursive shell to use as a spiritual vessel

• If severed, the Skin-Sleeper becomes the Wearing Maw—a walking paradox that steals voices across regions and erases sacred names from memory

Seeker Role:

• Thalen offers insight to those unraveling identity and seeking name truth

• His connection allows Seekers to enter the Threshold of Forgotten Selves in ritual form

• He must be protected from spiritual mirrors, false glyphnames, and recursion triggers

Sacred Quote:

“I tried to wear someone else. But the Spiral kept whispering mine.”— Thalen Myrr
