Szczuku Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Here's a thread about her lore. From the short it seems that she (for unknown reason) knew about and used shadow magic to go through time and space... and combat the side effects. This most likely caused her to become a target for shadow creatures/Them. While trying to outrun them one day she broke one of her watches. Hastily she fixed it and (probably) accidentaly opened a portal to the Constant. Either that or the shadow creatures were too close and influenced the watch. Now as a survivor she has to deal with her 'unstable' bond to this realm and the shadow creature that is forever woven into her timeline At least that's my take on the short. Comment what you think/ what I might have missed/ stuff she reveals in-game Compedium entry: Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/133451-wanda-lore/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkenpelz Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Let's fricking goooo! Okay, first thing to notice, the shadows REALLY want her. We used to see the other survivors getting into the Constant through making deals and being tricked, but we don't see anything like that with Wanda - the shadows are just after her for some reason. It might be, as before mentioned, that they eventually go after anyone, who plays around with shadow magic, like they did with Maxwell and Charlie. What I find particularly interesting is, that, once in the Constant, her shadow turns into a hand again. This could mean, that They are still not satisfied with her being there and still have more plans for her, but the hand doesn't immediately grab her this time. I wonder if it could also be an indication for her having unknowingly become some form of help or vessel for Them and now she is carrying the danger right to the other survivors...

Falkenpelz Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 And of course, the Compendium entry mentioning that she has some sort of connection to the survivors is straight up insane in terms of tension. Is she connected to the Codex Umbra? Maxwell? Charlie? Wagstaff? Was she on the throne at some point in time? Will she be?

Zeklo Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Honestly I kinda feel like her seemingly importance is just a gag. Making fun of the trope of time travelers having great purpose and things to accomplish. It would be super off-putting for some random addition to the roster to be so extremely woven into the lore otherwise imo.

Szczuku Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 13 minutes ago, HowlVoid said: *cough* Wortox *Cough* Wortox's importance and lore are so.... weird and kind of annoying to me. His character constantly shifts between 'Hyuyuyuy, what a fun prank that was!" to 'Yes I know everything about this place, for absolutely no reason.". Like... until Wortox happened Maxwell was considered one of the most knowledgeable characters in terms of the Constant and well... the one who mastered the shadow magic. Then Wortox came out of nowhere and said that Maxwell doesn't know how to use the Codex Umbra. In terms of lore Wortox seems like those 'stupidly overpowered' characters you might've seen in other media. Something along the lines of 'the main character is a loser, but their friend is a powerful demon that could destroy the humanity with no effort. But they won't." That's Wortox in terms of lore- a hyyuyu character that somehow knows everything and refers to the others as 'mortals' (implying he himself immortal).
