Stikk, a legally distinct version of the critically acclaimed character from Words of Radiance, had finally bonded to a spren of his own. It had taken a mid-stick crisis for him to go from saying, “I am a stick.” to "Am I a stick?" This revelation was so shocking and profound that immediately a Cryptic showed up and gave him a Radiant bond for admitting the best lie that it had ever heard. Since then, Stikk had Lightweaved himself a body that looked mostly like a normal human (he didn't quite know what they were) and had managed to get through a perpendicularity with πe, or Pie, his bondspren. Now, they wander the lands as a really cool stick and his Shardblade that he couldn't use because sticks don't have hands, which is fine because although he was a stick, Stikk thought he might become more. He had made his way to Iri over the past 3 months, and was "sipping" his tea in a small shop. Mostly, he was just talking with the cup and waiting to see if any other so-called inanimate objects were in need of saving.
