The shard
Where Plum comes from
A Dusk shard that stayed close to something brighter and worked out early that this was warmer than being bright. Plum has never led a section of the Descent and has finished second more often than anyone.
How Plum races
Plum finds the leader and sits in the wake. It is genuinely faster there, and it is only faster there — the whole of Plum's advantage is proximity to someone else's race. And the moment that advantage would put Plum into the lead, it cuts out completely.
Locked one place off the front, gaining from a race being run by somebody else.
The voice
Hear Plum
“nyeh-heh-heh-HEE!”
A sneaky giggle that steps down and then pops up. The scheme worked. Pick a mood and Plum says it that way.
In the race mix: E3, 165 Hz. While in the wake, Plum stops sounding and doubles the leader a fifth below instead. Two marbles, one chord.
Rivalry
Nocturne’s Two Shadows
Both built to finish second. Neither built to lead.
Nocturne gains from position and never from power, and these two are the doctrine at its most literal. Ink is fastest where nobody is looking and slows as the camera finds it. Plum is fastest one place off the front and is cut off the instant that place would become first. Two different mechanisms with the same ceiling, and they reach it together.
Whichever of them gets to second first, the other is stuck behind it — and neither can do a thing about the marble in front.
