Mourner

A weeping ghost wreathed in sorrow, whose grief is a weapon.

She kneels in the air a foot above the ground, translucent hands pressed to a translucent face, shoulders heaving with sobs that have not stopped for centuries. The Mourner does not know she is dead. She does not know you are alive. She knows only loss — a grief so vast and unresolved that it has become a gravitational force, pulling joy and warmth from anything nearby. Step close and you will feel it: a heaviness in the chest, a dimming of colours, the sudden conviction that nothing you do matters. Her tears fall upward, dissolving into mist. She is not hostile. She is simply inconsolable, and her inconsolability will kill you.
