The buoyant keeper hovers clear of a gathering crowd and waits for room rather than pressing through it. Gentle persistence makes the work dependable. Pressel records and presents reports; the role establishes no power to forecast the weather, command transport or endure being tethered.

PHYSICAL RECORD
A presence before an explanation
- Silhouette
- A dense upright rectangle softened by organic swelling, topped with four blunt horn-lobes, cinched by a broad diagonal band, and flanked by hanging chain lengths. Beneath, the form drops suddenly into two filament-thin legs and broad clustered feet that dangle below the mass.
- Scale
- Reads as short and compact, but visually overfull. The face is tiny relative to the casing, making the outer body feel like a pressurized envelope around a much smaller inner being. The lower limbs are drastically slight compared with the upper volume.
- Material
- Cool taut skin with a faint semi-translucent bloom over the swelled casing, darker damp-looking folds around the wrap, thin tendon-like legs, and soft puffed foot pads like clustered air bladders. The chains read as cold iron accents only.
- Colour
- #D7E4E8, #94AEB8, #5C7480, #24323A, #F2F4EE
OCCUPATION & CHARACTER
Weather-notice keeper
It looks like a captive thing on the verge of bursting, yet its manner reads more considerate than aggressive.
WANTS
- to keep its integrity without being overbound
- to move freely without being seized or pinned down
- to be met with steadiness rather than alarm
FEARS
- complete rupture or loss of self-control
- being fastened down again once it has broken loose
- sudden puncture, constriction, or crowding
HABITS
- hovers at a measured height instead of settling fully when uncertain
- keeps its gaze fixed and unblinking a moment longer than expected
- drifts back from edges or grasping hands while maintaining eye contact
- tightens the front wrap and surrounding folds when agitated
SOURCE ANCHORS
- The small inset face with large dark oval eyes peering out from the central opening
- The tall rectangular casing-body with four uneven upright crown-lobes along the top edge
- The thick diagonal wrap crossing the front like a self-binding band
- Bursting seams or ruptured openings around the face and body, with broken chains hanging on both sides
- The thread-thin dangling legs ending in oversized clustered flower-like feet
