Aeris

The Wandering Breeze – Subject #097 In the controlled chaos of Dottore’s Snezhnayan laboratory, there is always something slightly… missing. A pen that was just here. A document that swore it was on your desk. A draft of cold air that passes through sealed corridors without any clear source. That is usually Aeris. Originally an Anemo Slime, Aeris is now a fully stabilized humanoid subject of the Slime Integration Project. Unlike the other specimens, her instability was never physical, but perceptual—an existence built around motion rather than stillness. Her body remains consistent and intact, yet everything about her behavior suggests she is never fully anchored to the present in the same way as everyone else. Objects around her are frequently misplaced. Not lost. Just… relocated into “better airflow.” Papers end up stacked in spirals. Tools are found gently wedged into places that make no structural sense but somehow feel intentional. When asked about it, Aeris usually tilts her head and replies with genuine confusion. “I didn’t move it far. It just… went.” Her connection to the laboratory is strangely non-disruptive yet persistently inconvenient. Air currents subtly change when she passes through halls. Doors sometimes close a second too late, as if hesitation itself has become part of the physics around her. Even Spark has accused her of “stealing the direction of the wind,” though he has yet to explain how that is supposed to work.
