I. Folklore Narrative
Norman is a land teeming with monstrous and bizarre entities, a place where life constantly hangs in the balance under unseen shadows. And yet, amid this ongoing nightmare, there are still glimmers of light—faint, fragile—offering a sense of peace and hope to the people of this realm.
Across all regions of Norman, people whisper tales of a tiny being, a flickering blueish light that flits through the dense forests, across hills, through valleys, and even within long-abandoned ruins. They affectionately call it Tinker Bell. No one knows its true origin, and no one has ever truly touched it—but its presence always brings with it a strange, soothing warmth.
It is said that those who get lost deep in the woods or are wounded by malevolent entities often find themselves guided home or miraculously healed by this creature. At times, it is even seen driving away dark forces—beings once thought to be beyond containment.
Ancient tales claim that if you call its name earnestly within a dream while in danger, a pale blue light will appear. And when you awaken, your wounds will have vanished as though they never existed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Threat Classification
Tier: Tier I – Non-threateningThreat Level: Negligible. No known incidents of attack or harm toward humans or other entities.Effects: Positive. Documented cases include assistance to lost individuals, healing of minor injuries, and repelling of high-threat hostile entities.Presence Frequency: Rare. Mostly appears during moments of imminent danger or when victims are in states of despair.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Physical Traits & Behavioral Signs
Tinker Bell typically manifests as a tiny, hand-sized entity. Its entire body emits a soft glow, shifting from pale gold to bluish hues depending on its surroundings and emotional state. The being resembles a miniature humanoid figure with delicate, dragonfly-like wings that shimmer faintly in the dark.
Its voice is described as a whisper, like a breeze, producing unintelligible sounds that nonetheless bring calm and reassurance. Witnesses consistently report decreased pain, fear, and anxiety after encountering the entity.
Tinker Bell's arrival is often accompanied by a faint floral scent and an unusual atmospheric silence — no wind, insects, or ambient sounds remain.
It does not communicate through language, but appears to possess empathic sensitivity, responding to thoughts and emotions with actions: guiding the lost, healing wounds, or concealing individuals from nearby hostile entities.

V. Observation Log
Report #014 – CCUDate: ██/██/20██Location: Zone ZN-07Note: A field team lost contact deep in the forest. At 03:12 AM, Agent [Codename: Wren] was found unconscious but unharmed. Personal audio device suffered major interference, only the final segment could be recovered:
"I… I saw light. Not like flashlights, not cold like the eyes of those monsters. It was warm… like wind. I thought I was dead. But then… it touched me. Said nothing. I woke up. They were gone."
Report #036 – NDDate: ██/██/20██Reporting Agent: [Codename: Ken]Excerpt from post-incident debriefing:
"We were tracking a Tier V entity — exact designation redacted. Our team was separated after a spatial distortion. I was isolated and surrounded by immense pressure, as if something was about to tear me apart.
Then… I heard a gentle chime, like wind-bells. And then the light. A tiny glowing being approached me. When it reached out, the noise vanished. Next thing I knew, I was safe. The Tier V entity was gone. I'm certain I was rescued."
Report #045 – ISU & CRRTInvolved Agents: [Codename: Raven], [Codename: Nettle]Location: ZN-18 – Quarantined SwampSituation:Agents caught in a "time loop zone" created by an unidentified entity, trapped for over six hours. Both agents reported hearing a chime and seeing a moving light. The time field destabilized and pushed them safely outside the affected area.
Raven: "Not sure what it was, but it broke the loop."Nettle: "I thought we were stuck forever. Tinker Bell showed up like a miracle."
DOC Notes:Tinker Bell frequently appears during life-threatening or disorienting incidents, particularly when agents are unconscious or overwhelmed. Activity pattern seems spontaneous, not fixed to zones or times.
ISU Addendum:Entity likely functions as a "biological guardian," with natural protective instincts. Shows no sign of speech or communication, yet demonstrates high situational awareness.
CRRT Analysis:The entity appears unaffiliated with NOR operations and acts independently with a strong protective disposition. Extremely stable, has not shown any aggression or harm across all recorded encounters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VI. Time and Conditions of Appearance
Tinker Bell does not follow any known temporal pattern. It has been recorded appearing at all hours of the day and night, in diverse environments such as deep forests, swamps, caves, and even near NOR facilities. The only consistent factor observed is the presence of extreme danger at the time of its manifestation.
Tinker Bell generally appears when a Tier III or higher entity is nearby and a human subject is rendered completely defenseless — typically unconscious, critically wounded, or mentally broken. In rare instances, it has even intervened to save experimental subjects (Test Classes) facing undefined threats.
Conditions believed to trigger its appearance include:
Victim is unconscious or near death
Proximity of Tier III–V hostile entity
Localized space-time anomalies
Extreme emotional or psychological distress
Despite these patterns, there has never been a recorded case of Tinker Bell engaging in aggressive or negative behavior. The entity appears to act as a biological rescue instinct, drawn not by calls or summoning but by desperation and fear.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VII. Methods of Avoidance or Communication
Tinker Bell is not a hostile entity and does not require avoidance. To date, there have been no reports of it harming any living being — not even hostile entities. It is instead described as a benevolent rescuer-type entity that appears randomly, yet selectively, depending on the level of human distress or imminent danger.
Communication Methods:Tinker Bell does not communicate using any language recognizable to humans. However, several agents have reported hearing the faint sound of wind chimes shortly before or during its manifestation. Additionally, sensations such as warmth, calmness, and relief from psychological stress have been consistently documented within its proximity.
Though no known method exists to "summon" Tinker Bell, the following conditions seem to increase the probability of its appearance:
A critically injured individual is near death with no available help.
A Tier III–V entity is detected within a 100-meter radius.
Emotional overload such as extreme fear, despair, or psychological trauma.
Attempts by NOR personnel to record images or extract biological samples from Tinker Bell have consistently failed — the entity appears to be immune to all forms of observation and data capture. All technological efforts are rendered inert in its presence.
Current NOR protocol advises no interference or exploitation attempts. Tinker Bell is classified as a neutral, rescue-oriented anomaly and is not to be treated as a threat.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VIII. Containment Protocol
Tinker Bell is one of the rare entities that do not require — or cannot be subjected to — conventional containment. Due to its undefined nature, unpredictable appearances, and immunity to visual or recording technologies, any attempt to confine or limit the entity is considered impossible.
Current directives from the NOR organization are as follows:
No pursuit, capture, or containment actions are to be taken against the entity.
Any appearance of Tinker Bell must be logged and immediately reported to both ISU (Irregularity Surveillance Unit) and DOC (Documentation Division).
If the entity intervenes in an active confrontation involving a Tier III or higher anomaly, all engaged units must withdraw and switch to passive observation mode.
All experimental activity involving Tinker Bell or simulated high-threat scenarios designed to trigger its appearance are strictly prohibited. Violators will face disciplinary actions per NOR Security Protocol Level 5.
Tinker Bell is officially classified as Uncontainable (U) but indirect monitoring is recommended in zones where the entity frequently manifests. Bio-sensory stations have been installed across ZN-06, ZN-09, ZN-11, ZN-13, ZN-15, and ZN-18 to detect environmental fluctuations consistent with its presence.
