Notes
Wendy is my favorite character to play in Don't Starve and I wanted to try writing her backstory. Please let me know if there are any inaccuracies to the game, or the William Carter Puzzles, as I want this to be as accurate as possible!
Also, this is just a fun little prologue I decided to write, please continue to the next chapter if you want to hear from Wendy!
Rule #1: Shadows are not inanimate. If you have the slightest touch of insanity, you can see them. Funny the sane cannot always see what is real.
Rule #2: Shadows cannot speak. They can only communicate in blurred sanity, and corrupted lullabies.
Rule #3: There is no 'I' to the shadows. Neither are they some banded together 'we.' To those who know them, they are simply them.
Rule #4: Shadows are not cruel and malicious beings. Not often. Not always. However, if you have lost too much sanity, you may forget this fact.
Rule #5: You can only see shadows in the light, but shadows will do everything in their power to pull you into the dark. Sometimes they can do no more than stalk the light, or else run from it, powerless against its glow, other times this is as easy as putting two fingers together to pinch out a candle.
Rule #6: Night here is complete. When the sun falls there are no beads of light left. Only when the moon is full will you be granted mercy, and even then, only to you.
Rule #7: Total darkness is not a shadow. Total darkness is something else entirely. Perhaps she does not intend malice either, but for some reason, she cares not for mercy.
Rule #8: If you are human, if there is any light left inside you, do not go out in the dark.
