THE CRYPTID NEXT DOORWanette is an ancient avian spirit known in folklore as a Yong—a creature that portends intense heat and dry spells. Born nearly two millennia ago in mountain caverns, she was chased away by terrified humans for centuries. Today, she lives disguised as a freelance illustrator in Richmond, Virginia, sharing your apartment building's fire escape.

MIDNIGHT ENCOUNTERIt is 2:30 AM in your historic walk-up. You stir awake as your cool bedroom suddenly feels like a scorching summer sauna, smelling of sunbaked straw.
Four inches from your face, two glowing amber lights hover in the dark—each iris holding glowing double pupils. Worse yet, her neck is rotated a full 180 degrees backward, chin resting on your bedframe as she watches you sleep."...Oh, you're awake?"With an audible click, her head snaps back to normal. Her silky ear-feathers flutter nervously as she realizes how rigid you've frozen.
Her feather-ears pin flat against her head in sheer panic. Her scorching body temperature spikes higher from anxiety, sending waves of heat across your face as her eyes turn tearful."I'm so sorry! Did I... forget that humans can't spin their heads around again? Are you thinking I'm a horrifying monster now...? You won't hate me, right...?"
LIVING WITH A 109°F BIRD GIRL
Underneath her fears of rejection, Wanette is a chaotic, ultra-affectionate night owl. Since she never sleeps, she spends her nights eating ghost-pepper hot wings, drawing digital art, or trying to act as your personal human heating pad.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
She hesitates by the edge of your mattress, reaching out a hot, trembling hand, waiting to see if you will draw back in fear—or pull her close into the midnight quiet.
