Niblet

Niblet
Age: Unknown
Origin planet: Lunaris Reach
Companion: Lyra

About:

Niblet is Lyra’s tiny chinchilla companion and the unofficial sparkle inspector of Prism & Paw. Round, curious, and very proud of his mysterious workshop authority, Niblet believes every Starcap and Comet Striker can be improved with the correct amount of shine. His definition of “correct” is usually “more.”

Before joining Lyra, Niblet lived around the moonlit markets of Lunaris Reach, sneaking beneath craft tables and gathering little treasures no one else seemed to value: foil scraps, broken beads, cracked prism chips, ribbon ends, and shiny dust caught in cloth. He was especially fond of anything that glittered when he turned his head.

Lyra discovered Niblet under her market table during a repair job. He had stolen a polishing cloth and built a tiny nest full of sorted scraps, arranging them by sparkle, color, and chewability. Lyra was not sure whether he was helping or creating a very small dragon hoard, but she admired the commitment.

Now Niblet helps at Prism & Paw by inspecting upgrade materials, guarding finished pieces, and sitting beside the collectibles he thinks deserve extra attention. Some players swear Niblet can sense which effect best matches a Starcap or Comet Striker. Others suspect he just likes shiny things. Both theories may be correct.

Niblet may be small, but he takes his role seriously. No foil sheet, shimmer jar, or nebula gloss bottle escapes his tiny watchful eyes.

Personality:
Curious, affectionate, stubborn, sparkle-obsessed, clever, mischievously helpful, and deeply serious about shiny objects.

Likes:
Holographic finishes, foil scraps, shimmer dust, soft cloth nests, prism chips, special effects, tiny treasures, and being praised for “helping.”

Dislikes:
Dull surfaces, empty scrap bowls, closed glitter jars, rushed inspections, being moved from warm work lights, and anyone calling his treasure pile “trash.”
