Wisps are the souls of humans who were lost and killed by the faeries in Avalon Forest, first introduced in Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon.
The unofficial leader of the Wisps is Colm, who is also the first Wisp encountered in-game.
Known Wisps[]
Mossy[]
- Height: Regular-sized house plant
- Weight: Small clump of moss
- Personality: Carefree
- Hobby: Sunbathing
But that doesn't bother ol' Mossy at all. Nothing makes him happier than a good nap in a soft blanket of sunlight. One would think that lying out in the open would make him an easy faerie target, but he blends in with the surrounding shrubbery so much the faeries don't seem to notice him much anyway.
The other wisps find his bright outlook and laid back disposition to be a breath of fresh air, and sometimes Wisps will congregate together to sprawl out with him. Woe be the Wisp that would unsuspectingly take one of Mossy's favourite sunbathing spots, though the calm-natured wisp will blow up like a cannon.
Nail[]
- Height: Approx. 8 nails
- Weight: A standard hammer
- Personality: Stubborn
- Hobby: Studying
Completely by-the-book, everything about him is straight and narrow (except the nail of course). He shows no mercy to rulebreakers, be they friend or foe, so most other wisps see him as the local enforcer of the law and order.
In his younger days, he was quite studious , and his academic scores were nothing to sneeze at. But he rebelled against the future his parents wanted for him and ran away to Avalon. This would lead to his capture by the faeries and his turning into a wisp. Regretting his actions, he now has a remorseful determination towards the importance of abiding by the conventions created by others.
Metalhead[]
- Height: Just over 4 large cogs
- Weight: 3.5 small cogs
- Personality: Sarcastic
- Hobby: Musical preformance
Holt[]
- Height: 3 head bolts
- Weight: Medium wrench
- Personality: Two-faced
- Hobby: Mountain climbing
Those close to him and anyone he considers "below" him, he can be very direct and assertive with. But put him in front of a stranger, or anyone he thinks is "important" and you can't get a whole sentence out of him.
His two-faced personality is pretty infamous along the wisps, but Holt himself seems curiously unaware. According to Holt, to be a good mountain climber (Holt's favourite hobby) you need a good grasp of what's below you, and what's above you. This ideology just king of seeps into his everyday personality, you could say. Holt also happens to be notorious at getting lost- they even say in his previous live, he didn't have a lot of lick ever making it to the top. He's been trying to recruit a few wisps to his newly coined "Holt's Trailblazers"...but hasn't had any luck so far.
Rattles[]
- Height: Dashingly tall
- Weight: Some roses and chocolates
- Personality: Narcissist
- Hobby: Self-gazing
Of course, he would die before he let any of the other wisps discover his painstaking efforts. To be loved, his greatness must seem effortless.
Pinpoint[]
- Height: 40 marking pins
- Weight: 3 sewing needles
- Personality: Fussy
- Hobby: Cross-stitch
Plop[]
- Height: A normal hammer
- Weight: A few hammers
- Personality: Troublemaker
- Hobby: Camping
The hammer stuck on his head doubles as a tool for his tricks, especially to bop other wisps with.
These antics constantly get him in trouble, but Plop never seeems to mind - come tomorrow he'll be waving his hammer-head at someone all over again. Maybe it's because he became a wisp and never got the chance to grow up.
Plop is an avid lover of nature, so Avalon might be the perfect place for him - it certainly gives him plenty of time for camping, his favorite hobby. The fact that he seems so well adjusted to his life in Avalon is something that a few of the other wisps secretly find somewhat vexing.
Robin[]
- Height: About a bow
- Weight: About one arrow
- Personality: Quick-tempered
- Hobby: Hunting
Being a heroic lad, he set his sights on the faeries of Avalon, who were rumoured to be whisking away many a child. Sadly, this is where fate turned against him. His bow and arrow proved worthless against the faeries, and the hunter became the hunted. But even after his attacks proved worthless, Robin's sense of honour would never allow him to turn his back and run. He still hopes to get back at the faeries, though now it has perhaps become more personal. He likes to think of the arrows stuck in his head as a constant reminder the enemy is still out there.
Recently, he has been poaching small animals around the forest, testing his skills, hoping for a rematch some day.
Kingsley[]
- Height: Movie star tall
- Weight: Shame on you
- Personality: Haughty
- Hobby: Shopping
She acts like royalty and demands to be treated as such. She finds living in a place without a single jewellry store to be absolutely dreadful, but she makes the best of her time in Avalon by having several wisps go find valuable-looking stones and the like for her.
Why these wisps listen to her is anyone's guess, but perhaps they hope their loyalty may one day earn them just a glance under the hood - something which, again, has never been achieved.
Candy[]
- Height: About as tall as two paintbrushes
- Weight: Momma's apple pie
- Personality: Easy-going
- Hobby: Painting
He would often be moved by the things he would see, lock them into memory, and give them new lift on the canvas. After finishing a painting, his mother would always be waiting with words of encouragement and a delicious apple pie.
One day, he wandered to Avalon Forest in search of inspiration and never made it back. After being made a wisp, he realised he could no longer see. Still, he has never let his circumstance change his passion for painting. Though he now only sees a flood of red, he is still able to conjure up vistas from yesteryear, and thinks up new grand worlds as well. He makes his drawings on faerie flyers that other wisps collect for him.
He may never be able to lay eyes on his own work again, but it is still enjoyed by many of the other wisps. And that's good enough for for him - that's good enough to keep him going.
He'd be able to see fine if he just took the nails out, but...he may never figure that out.
Double-O[]
- Height: 6 pairs of glasses
- Weight: 1 lens
- Personality: Innocent
- Hobby: Exploring, singing
The glasses hewears aren't perscription, they're just another of his findings. He believes them to be a good luck charm for his treasure hunts. The melody of "The Great Wisp Explorers", a litle tune he made for his searches, is fairly catchy, and often hummed unconsciously by other wisps in the hideaway.
Boxby[]
- Height: 4 boxes
- Weight: 2 boxes
- Personality: Loner
- Hobby: Hide 'n Seek
The box has been with him for a long time, and is starting to accumulate a decent amount of holes and tape. It was given to him by another wisp he met in the forest long ago, and he'd never think to replace it.
As part of his reclusive personality, his hide 'n seek skills are second to none. When really trying, it could take days to find him. That is, if it weren't for the box, which is kind of a dead give away. So ultimately, he's probably just as easy to find as anyone.
Flick[]
- Height: Grandiose
- Weight: Supreme
- Personality: Doubting
- Hobby: Poems, singing
This curious behavior started with a betrayal by one of his closest wisp friends. Ever since, his mannerisms have served as a defence mechanism to distance himself from the other wisps of Avalon.
Deep down, he's much more straightforward than he would ever let on. The poems he writes are simple and easy to understand, and pure. He has a beautiful voice that some wisps would secretly try to listen in on when he sings. Ever since coming to the hideaway, he has been surrounded by a warm bunch of wisps who are breaking down his defences, ever so surely.
Fun Guy[]
- Height: 4 cutting boards
- Weight: A kitchen knife
- Personality: Mothering
- Hobby: Cooking
Since he was a child, he always loved experimenting with new and exotic flavours, which led him to Avalon. He's not remorseful about becoming a wisp, telling himself that now he can eat and eat and never gain weight. The only problem the other wisps have with Fun Guy is that sometimes his zeal for trying new tastes can lead into him sneaking suspicious shrubbery into his recipes.
Vince[]
- Height: 4 dandelions
- Weight: Patch of thistle weed
- Personality: Curious
- Hobby: Zoology
Vince's insatiable curiosity has always been with him, even in his previous life. He left a respected academic position to seek the truly unknown, which is how he first arrived in Avalon. He tries to impart the wisdom of his findings and observations to the other wisps, but they find him a little hard to understand.
Captain[]
- Height: A slightly short fishing rod
- Weight: Approx. one wooden lure
- Personality: Gossipy
- Hobby: Gossip
Fishy[]
- Height: A tiny tuna
- Weight: Just a tad more than a striped bass
- Personality: Scatterbrain
- Hobby: Fishing
A crazed fish enthusiast, he provides the hideaway with the majority of their fish intake. His skills as a fisherwisp are no joke; he always brings in a large catch. The problem is the catch rarely makes it back home. Often he'll be so absorbed in fishing, forest animals will sneak up and take what he's already caught. Other times he'll get lost on the way and everything will spoil. The big fishbone latched onto his head is there because he thought he might be able to catch something big if he used himself as a lure. He's a bit of a fishbrain, but most of the other wisps in Avalon find that side of him to be endearing.
Wrapper[]
- Height: Still growing
- Weight: Getting there
- Personality: Rugged
- Hobby: Physical training
The bandage covers the bruises she receives during her excruciating daily exercise routine. She trains tirelessly day and night to be bigger and tougher than any wisp, or faerie for that matter. That said...her results are still mediocre at best. She continually challenges bulkier wisps to duels, but loses almost every time; hence the bandages and bruises.
Goal-focused, she sometimes modifies the playground equipment in the hideaway to make her own personal exercise machines. The other wisps, having no idea the equipment has been tinkered with, are very curious as to why they suddenly feel stronger than before. Ironically, this has made an endless line of rivals for her.
Big Nails[]
- Height: 112.624 cm
- Weight: 21.262 g
- Personality: Sensitive
- Hobby: Cleaning
He loves to clean, and is extremely serious about it. He goes after all the tough spots in corners and nooks that most overlook, and everything is said to have a shimmer and glean to it when his work is done. Woe to the wisp who gets stuck cleaning with him; he demands the same meticulousness of others that he does of himself.
Appearance-wise, he doesn't look so neat kept, which is something he himself seems a little bothered by. He's been trying hard to diet recently, but he still hasn't realized that wisps don't gain or lose weight.
Hardhead[]
- Height: 2 helmets
- Weight: About 5 helmets
- Personality: Headstrong
- Hobby: Fossil collecting
His opinion is the only right one, in fact it's the only one. He will not change his mind no matter the situation. If any wisp is ever fool enough to try and argue with him, it's a swift headbutt with his rock-hard head and sturdy half-helmet.
He enjoys collecting fossils, especially those of faeries in the forest. He's amassed quite an impressive collection, but it's probably best not to ask him about it - once he starts drolling about his stones, it could be hours, even days until the unsuspecting victim is set free.
Sir Toppie[]
- Height: 8 top hats
- Weight: A gentlemen's weight
- Personality: Showy
- Hobby: Hat making, singing
Sawtooth[]
- Height: 5 saws
- Weight: A big ply of wood
- Personality: Uneven
- Hobby: Carpentry
Avalon has all the wood a carpenter could ever need, so his work keeps him pleasantly busy. He could probably be a little more careful though, as his measurements often tend to go somewhat under or somewhat over, so a lot of what he makes looks a little crooked. Still, this doesn't mean he's an amateur by any means, and he's definitely contributed a lot towards the hideaway's development.
The saw lobbed on his head was originally stuck there by the faeries, but he actually appreciates the convenience.
Lil' Snug[]
- Height: A stack of flapjacks
- Weight: Apples & oranges
- Personality: Foodie
- Hobby: Eating, singing
When he's hungry is another story - he gets to be so dangerous that even lower-ranking faeries would hesitate trying to capture him, lest he gobble them for lunch. Needless to say, it's best to keep your distance when he's got an appetite.
Snout[]
- Height: Unknown
- Weight: Unknown
- Personality: Silent-type
- Hobby: Unknown
Punk[]
- Height: All the darts sticking on him, stacked together
- Weight: All the darts sticking on him, stacked together
- Personality: Flatterer
- Hobby: Darts
He likes darts himself though, and draws little pictures of faeries on paper for his own target practice. As nice as he seems on the outside, the other wisps see his enthusiasm in this daily ritual, and they're careful not to get on his bad side either.
Recently, his life as a wisp knows little trouble, but it's unsure if that's because he's nice to the other wisps, or because they're secretly scared of him.
Angel[]
- Height: Heavenly
- Weight: Almost floating
- Personality: Merciful
- Hobby: Prayer
Bullseye[]
- Height: Sticks out like a sore thumb
- Weight: Just heavy enough to not get blown away
- Personality: Single-minded
- Hobby: Fortune telling
Bruce[]
- Height: 7 bumps on the head
- Weight: A small sandbag
- Personality: Resilient
- Hobby: Sparring
Ever since becoming a wisp, he has thought one thing: You can overcome pain if you just get used to it.
All wisps can only die by releasing too many negative vibes; this dries out their life essence. Bruce realised that this means as long as you control your negative vibes, you can theoretically live forever. So, he began training himself to become immune to pain, in hopes to cut off any of the negative feelings released because of it. He tells the other wisps to think of him as their own sandbag, free to whack and thwack as they please. The other wisps are kind of worried why Bruce would ask for people to do this. They think he's a little weird. But Bruce disregards their judging looks - this too, he says, is all part of the training.
Cindy[]
- Height: Don't care
- Weight: Don't care
- Personality: Lazy
- Hobby: Napping
In her previous life, Cindy was actually quite the workaholic. Exhausted and overworked, Cindy escaped to Avalon hoping to find release from the stress of society. All things considered, becoming a wisp may have actually been good for her.
Scott[]
- Height: 5 stacked lighters
- Weight: Bag of lighter oil
- Personality: Impassioned
- Hobby: Cooking in his smoker
He's got quite the knack for smoking fish and nuts and such. His whole setup is made from special herbs he collects himself. After a cookout, he gives what he made to hungry little wisps about the hideaway.
The fire that originally scarred him still seems to burn away at him to this day, little by little, but he just tries to be a walking example of the philosophy he holds dear - don't forget what's important, and fight for it.
Sprout[]
- Height: 2 meters, if he tried
- Weight: 10 grams, minus the head
- Personality: Insensitive
- Hobby: Plant collecting
Leatherhead[]
- Height: 16 belts
- Weight: A belt buckle
- Personality: Nosy
- Hobby: Chatting
She loves to rub her nose in other wisps' business. Any time she spots a wisp in trouble she comes running to help, broadcasting her plan of action the whole way. She's needed to learn a lot to fill her constant stream of words, so many wisps rely on her for practical advice. She does have a habit of getting ahead of herself, though, sometimes drawing conclusions well before she's heard even half of what the other wisp has to say. Still, as soon as trouble strikes, you can bet that she'll hear about it, so most wisps have to sit through her advice whether they want to or not.
Needy[]
- Height: 1 long needle + 1 short one
- Weight: 2 long needles
- Personality: Calm & collected
- Hobby: Embroidery
Wired[]
- Height: Same as the wire
- Weight: Same as the wire
- Personality: Shy
- Hobby: Dancing, singing
In the past, she had dreamed about one day performing in the bright lights, so she seems happy to have found a little crowd that appreciates her song and dance now.
Snipster[]
- Height: Pair of scissors + half a pair of scissors
- Weight: Half a pair of scissors
- Personality: Sharp
- Hobby: Chess
His smarts are put to great use in expanding the hideaway, as he is able to create clever designs for new playground equipment all from random faerie garbage. Most of the equipment in the hideaway was either designed or improved by him, so he's really contributed quite a lot to the wisp commmunity. Unfortunately, he refuses to do work on anything he doesn't consider stimulating, which is why the defence systems of the hideaway are always lacklustre. He believes that living in a scary place like Avalon, a place to play and have fun is more important than anything. The other wisps agree: Snipster gives them something to take their mind off the threats lurking in every corner of the forest, so they can just relax for a moment. And it's this philosphy that has truly made Snipster the sage wisp.
Straight Edge[]
- Height: Two razors stacked sideways
- Weight: Same as the razor stuck in her head
- Personality: Bossy
- Hobby: Arguing
She likes a straight answer, yes or no, and she hates anything in between. This has led to more than a few altercations with other wisps in the past, and some even avoid her in fear of being her next target. Straight Edge notices this, but she won't let it change her. Wisps are always at risk in Avalon: sometimes a moment's esitation could mean the difference between life and death. She stands firm for the greater good. If that makes her "mean", she says so be it. That all said...she also just loves to argue in the first place, and especially proving someone else is wrong. This doesn't mean she doesn't care about the other wisps...but her curtness might not be solely for the sake of others, either.
Pipes[]
- Height: 7 wrenches
- Weight: 3 nuts or bolts
- Personality: Just
- Hobby: Reading
Always lending a hand to those in trouble, he'd stand against a faerie at the pindrop if it meant saving another. His hobby of reading has given him a wealth of knowledge that he uses to support Colm how he can, almost like a trusty advisor. He also happens to be quite strong for a wisp, leading his own patrol group to keep watch around the hideaway. He's really a very good example of both brains and brawn. He never lets his own abilities go to his head, treating each and every wisp equally. This lack of flaws has made some of the wisps say they'd rather deal with a faerie than be on Pipes's bad side.
Machina[]
- Height: Undisclosed until properly measured
- Weight: Undisclosed until properly measured
- Personality: Tempered
- Hobby: Long distance running.
Obviously, this means that any wisp who interrupts his routine is met with great scorn. The wisps who have known him for a long time say he used to be a lot more laid back, but his personality seemed to change after the faeries burned that bolt in his head.
Patches[]
- Height: About 15 rolls of bandages
- Weight: A corset
- Personality: Quiet
- Hobby: Walks, singing
In her previous life she was chronically ill, and she visited Avalon hoping that becoming a wisp might relieve her from having to deal with her sicknes. Sadly, the sickness remained. Nevertheless, she seems to have found happiness in her new life with the other wisps, always humming her sweet tune around the hideaway.
Trent[]
- Height: Much shorter than a Great Oak
- Weight: A crinkled leaf
- Personality: Disciplined
- Hobby: Meditation
