Awakened Vulpecula – Tiny celestial, any alignment
Every now and then, a vulpecula is freed from its yearslong slumber – not to fall asleep again but once and for all. Struck by a sudden rush of unrest, it sheds the magic that kept it tucked and with it the golden-blue fur that warmed its soul. An awakened vulpecula is imbued by curiosity and uncertainty alike. A feeling of having lost something it has held dear for far too long carves its path, a longing for the unknown dictates its steps. In its search for the worlds it so long dreamt of, it whispers the last faint traces of the magic is still holds – for good, for evil or for nothing at all.

Wang-y-tong (also known as Wang-o-Tang, Whang Atong, Whang at Tong, Whang-at-Ting, Quang-at-Tong, Warnoton, Hwang-a-tung, or Huang Ya Dong [黃亞東]) (c. 1753, fl. 1770s–1784) was a young Chinese man who visited England in the late 18th century.
After the Christian convert Michael Shen Fuzong in 1687, the merchant Loum Kiqua in 1756–1757, and the artist Tan-Che-Qua in 1769 to 1772, Wang is one of the earliest Chinese people known to have visited England.
