Little Nightmares: Waydrifters @waydrifters-warren - Tumblr Blog

👁️Welcome to the Waydrifters' Warren 🧭🐇

“The Nowhere swallows what forgets to move. Stay small. Stay sharp. The Waydrifters move on. The land bares its teeth and stains with blood. Children of the Elsewhere, follow the calling. Find your way.”

Who are the Waydrifters?

The Waydrifters are lost ones, nomadic Visitors within the Nowhere who have banded together. Those who have lived long enough to reach adulthood shelter and provide rest and security to the children still wayward within this realm. They cannot stay in one place for too long as taking root is forbidden, lest supplies dwindle with all the mouths to feed and bodies to warm; so they travel, roving across the Nowhere where they encounter the Nightmare Zones, picking and scraping for what they can with their paltry power. The nature of such places remains largely unknown to them, but what they do know is that such places draw upon the deepest fears of each Waydrifter, manifesting as a consequence of their pasts. They approach with caution and resilience, until they make it out into the Dream Zones; moments of respite and calm, where they usually settle to live their lives before they begin traveling anew once more.

Who is the leader?

There is no singular leader; instead, a band of the most experienced of the Waydrifters guide the others. They call them Hearths, those who keep the Warren warm, beating within like a living heart. The most notable of which is it's founder, Pura, alongside her however, are Mono, the Warren’s healer, Six, the guardian, and Low and Alone, who take the role of an explorer-cartographer duo alongside others yet to be introduced, with roles just as significant.

Who are the most prominent Waydrifters?

We follow Bug the Trader, Daisy the Wrangler, Patch the Assistant Undertaker, Seam the Weaver, and Tear the Diver.

Alongside them are Albedo the Outskirter, Miel the Chef, Name the Wild Card, Pura the Archivist, and Knell the Undertaker.

The Waydrifters stand tall, all of which have stories to tell, those they value, and dangers to soon encounter. All entwined — together, in ways they will soon discover in time.

One, Haff, Yu and Two doodles, mainly Haff fishing and Yu being the Worst (with a tiny feature of Patch @taikk0 and Cherub @orbished)

Yu, the Hunting Hound

The resentful soul that follows Her command.

Loyalty lies only with the Queen.

There is no price too steep for Yu to pay to obtain what she wants. Honor, a limb, an ally. All worthless in the face of attention from the leader of the Orange Marauders.

Joining the violent gang has been the best decision Yu ever made, where any weakness is stamped out and no one drags her down anymore. He's shed the child she used to be in service to the leader, and swore to never look back.

Nothing matters more than the praise, and a loyal attack dog will perform any trick asked.

He/him or she/her, never use they/them. Pronouns vary based on speaker's gender. Masc use she/her, fem use he/him, enben use both. Yu does not like to be the same as the others around her, he will take whichever set is not used as much in a group.

Haff, the Lone Fisher

The lonely soul that haunts the water's edge.

After a run-in with the monster ■■■■■, Haff was left with their scars, and without a sibling.

Joining and leaving the Marauders, traveling alone and with others, something remains missing in their life after all this time

They spend their days fishing, slowly trailing along behind the Waydrifters with another group that meanders. Neither willing to be a part of or apart from any community,

This doesn't stop a few people from visiting the shorelines they frequent.

They/Them -> Any Pronouns Does not care about gender, there are fish to catch. Twins with One before loss of left pinky and eye.

OneTwo, the Gardener

The shared soul has joined the party, eager to prove themself.

OneTwo is a pair that thinks of themself as a single person, both extensions of a whole.

Guilt drove One to rescue and care for Two, and fear kept Two trying to stay useful to One. Since their meeting and much time together, OneTwo has matured to merely codependant. While still bound by their loyalty to each other, the halves of One Two can work on separate tasks.

Now they have found refuge with the Waydrifters, sticking close to their new group. Making gardens to help feed the others brings them pride, and when they can, they will forage to find extra treats to share.

Their new community is more important than any fear. Through sunburns and frostbite, they're family now.

They/Them pronouns for both, whether together or not. When spoken to, One is more likely to respond but speaks for both. Two initiates conversation for the pair. Two requires One's help to move or stand. The harness is used to lift or carry Two easily.

FLOWERBED 🪦🌼

A Friendship between an anxious Undertaker and a lively Wrangler <3

A relationship between Patch, The Waydrifters' Assistant Undertaker, and Daisy, The Waydrifters' Wrangler Hearth.

Their occupations are complete opposites, where Patch tends to the unmoving dead, Daisy tends to the wildest of the Nowhere's creatures.

Daisy is playful, spontaneous, but has a good head on her shoulders to do what's right, which rubs off on Patch in a way that makes them more open to new things.

Oftentimes, new experiences and places are cause for anxiety in Patch. Patch prefers things that are easy and predictable, and is not one to come out of their comfort zone, no matter how much convincing comes from Knell, Pura, or anyone else, it is only ever Daisy's word that they feel the safest.

Patch and Daisy are simply two kids who you wouldn't expect to get along with their contrasting natures, when at the end of the day, they both love to play and have fun whenever they can.

Daisy is a very messy and rowdy kid, having gotten used to a life around animals, being clean isn't something that is constantly on her mind. Her games range from rolling off of hills to making mud-pies, anything you could imagine that would have a Waydrifter furious once they discover the muddy footprints inside their tent or caravan.

With Patch being taught to be meticulous (as an Assistant Undertaker), they are mindful not to leave a mess or to make any mistakes. This changes however, in the presence of Daisy; she is the sunshine that lights up Patch's world, one that encourages them to let loose and be themselves away from their respective duties.

Trying to be as spoiler free as I can, but in the past, Patch and Daisy also saved each other's lives. They were each other's hope for a better future and sacrificed a part of themselves for the freedom of the other. Being together in the Waydrifters is a reminder of a better tomorrow, and that there will always be good people who will be willing to help, willing to care for you in the darkest of places.

They mean so much to each other, and to Patch, perhaps a little more.

Yeah, Patch is a loser.

Being kids, the two heavily deny having feelings for each other. "Love is gross!" "Yuck, that's my friend!" "That's only cheesy stuff grown-ups care about!"

But, alas, growing up means discovering more complicated feelings. Patch is the first to recognize it, the beating in their chest and the warmth rising to their cheeks when Daisy is around.

Daisy... Not so much.

Yeah these two are stupid. Patch is in a constant state of trying to keep up with the constant rhythm of her day to day, while holding onto the SLIM chance of them being something more.

And then there's Daisy. Completely oblivious.

At this point Patch would do just about ANYTHING for Daisy, not in an active attempt to pursue her, but as an attempt to be recognized, for Daisy to think they're cool and more capable than how they actually are. Patch wants to prove themselves to her, and wants to be the best version they could possibly be to match her. Patch thinks very highly of Daisy, she is the youngest Hearth in the Waydrifters, and strives to be just as valued of a member as she is.

To Daisy though, she's just glad that Patch is working so hard to be a part of the community. She admires how Patch would go out of their way to do something at their expense for the good of others, despite their usually non-confrontational demeanor. Daisy loves playing with Patch, but also values the fact that they can have deeper conversations with each other, they do not shy away from each other's bad sides and accept that they don't always do the right things. They don't blame each other for their pasts actions, they forgive and continue along the path the Waydrifters take.

A heart only half set on solitude

Waydrifters Six Character Sheet.

The Hearth of Strength and the leader of the Waydrifter's Outskirters. She sways around the battlefield with unparalleled swiftness, turning a difficulty into an advantage and becoming one with the blood and flesh of her enemies— turning them into a weapon. She would never abandon Mawie, of course— he understands!

sorry for the poor quality, I recommend tapping or checking it out on my twitter.

Between pain and perseverance, Six's story is a tale that has been told. Before and past the starry skies, she is no unfamiliar figure– but the years of growth and learnintg turned the previously impulsive — but determined — girl into a wise and mildly patient warrior, becoming one with her skills and finding warmth, comfort and strength in her newfound family– The Waydrifters. And perhaps even a little bit of love, too, within the arms of a familiar doctor.

(Formally) Introducing: Daisy! Animal Wrangler and Flora Expert

Extended Ref txt: Daisy is a kind girl who prioritizes building trust above all else. She always offers a helping hand to others, and if there’s ever a need, Daisy is the first to fill it. Building, foraging, preparing for the coming seasons, the last thing Daisy would want is to be useless or a waste of space. And so she spends most of her time working despite her young age.

Daisy views all life as sacred and precious. Every seed, plant, and animal having their place in the cycle. Even when scavenging or hunting, she never takes more than she needs. From the very beginning, Daisy always found herself more connected with the wildlife than others. In the Nowhere, animals that were normally aggressive would pass her by, and others even led her to escape from certain dangers. Daisy never took advantage of this, though, and parted ways with the creatures as soon as she could, so as not to interrupt the balance. When Daisy joined the Waydrifters, she started by helping take notes on plants and herbs. Over time, though, it became monotonous, despite her love for it. She wanted something new, something even more fulfilling than her current duties. So, Daisy started looking beyond her work for other ways to help.

Finally, Daisy sought her first challenge and began taming small animals. Rather than just hunting creatures for food and traveling through way of caravan or by foot, by taming these creatures, she believed it would make life much easier for everyone. Once she’d earned their loyalty and could use simple commands, she’d slowly work her way up to bigger and, albeit, scarier monsters. The others were worried at first and didn’t want Daisy to continue; She was told it was too dangerous, that she would get hurt, and to stop before she did. It wasn’t until Daisy disappeared and returned with a large horse-like creature with a jagged horn, whom she named Belle, that her potential was fully realized. After that, with the help of others, Daisy tracked down the animals that had proven to be bountiful with fur and others with fatty meat and kept them as livestock. She protected and herded them, fed and raised them, all to guarantee the best for her community.

A rambunctious young girl, despite herself, Daisy is known to throw tantrums and hold grudges over small disagreements. Nor does Daisy simply agree to whatever is asked of her, especially if it’s something she doesn’t want to do. On days when she is particularly moody, she sneaks out on her mount, Belle, and spends the day in her own world, a home away from home, connecting with nature in its purest form.

For Daisy, the Nowhere and Waydrifters have provided a home better than any other, but it seems she's also looking for something... or someone, despite her sentiment.

HEY idk if my last ask sent but I've been doomscrolling though this acc and all the au stuff and its peak...... just wondering though you mentioned like an "elsewhere" in the pinned is that the nowhere orrr like some other place like? an au in an au? Everything is rlly cool tho curious to see where it goes🔥

Also another question if you could assign a color to characters which colors... bcs some seem mostly one but others not so much😭 thx for reading really like where this is going!

The Elsewhere is what we consider to be the in-between, a realm beyond the Nowhere and the Counties, where souls are born and where they lie to rest. It is only a short time when a being leaves the Elsewhere to tread the lands, until they are returned again in an endless cycle.

Miel is a Tomato Red. Cherub, a shade of Cherry, and Angel, a striking Bright Red. Haff is Maroon.

Patch and Efra are orange by association with the Orange Marauders, in Pumpkin and Flame, respectively. One is associated with Rust. Name Is Also There.

Daisy is a Buttercup Yellow.

Bug is Olive Moss.

Albedo is Sky Blue, not to be confused with Tear, who is a Deep Ocean Blue. Yu is distinctly associated with Cobalt.

Pura is Indigo, Knell is Fig Purple, and Two is Nightshade.

And Seam is a Rose Pink, and Moe is a Dark Mauve.

Albedo, The Rogue Knight.

Albedo has faced enough torment to shake his will, but a warrior's resolution shall never be broken. Not for yourself, but for those who need you, you keep fighting until your last breath.

A jokester at heart, Albedo thrives in the Waydrifters by being able to divide the more serious version of him, “Albedo The Rogue Knight” and the more laid-back and fun man that he normally is at heart. He enjoys spending time with the community’s children, playing with them and often getting himself into different schemes where he sets up his fellow community members for a scare, or some other joke.

Deep inside though, Albedo is a very melancholic man. The outgoing version of himself normally seen by the Waydrifters is as true as it is a façade, being both a version of himself that truly exists, but that is also stretched out and exaggerated tenfold to hide the deep problems Albedo faces inward.

His story is to be discovered along the way, unraveled as the tapestry of the Nowhere is revealed, and it's inner mechanisms and peculiarities shown.

Welcome to the Waydrifters, Rogue Knight. May the Roses bless you.
