Appearance

Sprinkle is a small, red-furred weasel.

Personality

The Mighty Nein's dangerous adventures across many varied environments hardened Sprinkle, making him twitchy and paranoid. As Jester knew very little about weasels and often forgot that Sprinkle was even on her person, he was also sleep-deprived and emaciated, making him extremely aggressive.

Biography

Background

Prior to Jester's ownership, Sprinkle was owned by travelling pet salesman Kestiff Drudy.

Notable Appearances

Campaign Two

When the Mighty Nein passed a pet salesman on the road between Zadash and Nicodranas, Beauregard Lionett and Jester Lavorre split the cost of a blink puppy they named Nugget, but Jester bought Sprinkle on her own.[3] Later, during down time as the Balleater traveled from the Gravid Archipelago to Nicodranas, Jester taught Sprinkle to fetch small items for her.[4] She later decided to make a weasel nest for Sprinkle in the tree on top of The Xhorhaus and then forced him into it against his will. Clearly very unhappy, he hissed at her.[5] Yasha Nydoorin tried to befriend the creature by giving him a bath in the hot tub there, but took damage in the process and set back their relationship significantly. Caduceus Clay, however, was able to calm him somewhat by feeding him a sandwich.[6]

Sprinkle somehow survived the boiling waters of Vokodo's lair, but it put him in a very bad mood. When Caleb Widogast put octopus-Frumpkin on Jester's shoulder, Sprinkle immediately attacked him and Frumpkin poofed out of existence.[7]

Later, it was revealed that Sprinkle was actually a vessel of The Traveler that he inhabited occasionally in order to keep an eye on Jester.[8]

Campaign Three

Sprinkle, still neurotic but resigned, accompanied Jester and the Mighty Nein to their rendezvous with Bells Hells for their respective missions to Ruidus. Jester traded him to Laudna temporarily in exchange for Pâté de Rolo.[9]

Relationships

Jester Lavorre

Jester is Sprinkle's owner. He rides on her shoulders, hiding in her hood and armour in dangerous circumstances. Despite her best efforts, Jester does often forget about Sprinkle, leaving him unfed, skittish and aggressive as she unintentionally takes him through very dangerous situations. He is not very trusting of Jester, as he was unwilling to go into the small hut she had made him in the Xhorhaus.[10]

Yasha Nydoorin

After returning to the Xhorhaus from their encounter with Isharnai, Yasha gave Sprinkle a bath. He hated this experience.[11]

Caduceus Clay

Sprinkle is assumed to trust Caduceus, as seen when Sprinkle accepted a sandwich Caduceus gave him, despite being in a irritable mood due to Yasha giving him a bath. This trust may be due to Caduceus being able to communicate with animals.[12]

Oremid Hass

Oremid Hass has a fondness for animals and Sprinkle is no exception. He loves to hold and pet both Frumpkin and Sprinkle. Oremid is very knowledgeable about how to take care of animals and has given advice to Jester on at least one occasion.[13]
