Backwoods Banshee 👻 · 3:41pm Jun 7th, 2023
The Backwoods Banshee was once a beautiful and enchanting spirit that roamed the lush forests of HeartWood. She was known for her hauntingly beautiful voice and her ability to bring peace and tranquility to all who encountered her. But as time went on, the Banshee developed an insatiable craving for a dark and smoky substance—Rotwood Sap—that grew on certain trees in the forest.
At first, the Banshee tried to resist the temptation of the substance, but it was too powerful. She began to consume it in large quantities, day after day, until it became an addiction. The substance was so toxic that it began to take a toll on the Banshee's health, particularly her breathing. Her voice became raspy and her once-beautiful face began to wither away. This drove her audience away, for her voice and beauty were their only reasons for sticking around.
Desperate to break her addiction, the Banshee sought out the help of a witch who lived deep in the forest. The witch agreed to help her but warned her that the cure would be painful. The Banshee agreed, and the witch removed her mouth, leaving her unable to consume the substance. For a time, the Banshee was content, but her craving returned with a vengeance. She grew so desperate that she took a knife and cut her own neck open to feed her hunger once more.
Now, the Banshee roams the forest, a tortured and twisted spirit, her once-beautiful face now marred by scars and her voice now a haunting whisper through her open neck. She seeks out other creatures who pass by, hoping to suck the air out of them to restore her once-glorious voice and satiate her addiction.
The Backwoods Banshee's original name is lost to time, as she has been known only by her current moniker in the years since her transformation.
Rotwood Sap
The sap is a dark, viscous liquid that emits a pungent and smoky odor reminiscent of burning maple syrup. When consumed, it causes a euphoric, addicting sensation followed by a rapid decline in the consumer's health, particularly in their respiratory system. The sap can be found growing on certain trees within the more secluded forests of HeartWood, and many creatures have learned to avoid the sap as a result of the Banshee's tragic tale.
Woah, dark

Interesting... I think it will be a great read to see how one can truly cure her and help her. I wonder which ponies will help her or will it be a ponies and zebra???
