==Trivia== *One common misconception is that Narwhal was able to create her force fields inside [[Leviathan]]'s body, and by extension any Endbringer's body, but this wasn't the case.<ref name ="24.3C1"/> *Narwhal is a consistent element from the earliest drafts of what would become Worm; she always led the Guild.<ref name="Draft">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZbwNmcmmh9DaICeFZPjN55CQKfwsZwIbk4m-mkehnrI RuneChild Draft of Worm]</ref> She was the first canon character introduced who stayed in the Parahumans universe.<ref>I personally find it interesting to note the elements that are present. Narwhal, contrary to what I remembered, was the first canon character who was introduced and who stayed with the setting. - Wildbow in [https://wildbow.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/snippets-drafts-of-worm/ Snippets: Before Worm]</ref><ref name="SB7915 e2">'''Inverness:''' I'll ask about Narwhal. It seems she stood out more than other characters, and not just because of her lack of dress. I remember someone describing it as her having a disproportionate presence compared to other characters that were also rarely featured.<br><br>Is she one of the characters you attempted to write about beforehand?<br><br>Could you elaborate [...] if she'll be featured again in a Worm sequel?<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' If you look at the drafts on my pig's pen blog, I have some stories up there, including the first superhero WIP I put together. Narwhal featured. The protagonist was cannibalized (see my writing approach post in the last thread or the W.o.G. thread) and one of her powers given to Rune (I was trying to fill the gaps and write a magic based superhero), but was so different I don't count her as having survived. Narwhal, by contrast, has the distinction of joining Dragon as one of the first characters I wrote who survived the drafting process of my first superhero writings and made it into Worm.<br><br>That said, she never had a place in Worm, really. She was almost a cameo for my own personal benefit, and may have more of a role in the sequel. I'm not positive, but I can sort of see it playing out. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15084321 Comment by Wildbow] on Spacebattles</ref> *Like many characters in [[Worm]], Narwhal took her turn as the protagonist for one of the stories many drafts.<ref name="14.8c18473">Ziggurat – Junior villains take advantage of a Endbringer attack to take over a city, trapping the residents in a ring of stone walls. Switched perspectives from the villains to the heroes (protagonist was Narwhal) fighting Hadhayosh, with the idea that it would merge together into a singular storyline where Narwhal tries to deal with the captured city. I think I might’ve done a second version with some civilians in the mix, just to show the effect on them, then dropped it quickly.<br/>Relevance? Well, I think it marks one of my first in-setting attempts to show a hostile takeover by villains ([[Supreme Earth]] was such on a much larger scale) and their attempts to manage a city once they’d seized it. Why didn’t it work? Narwhal was too powerful for a protagonist, and the length would have put it into an awkward place, too long for a short story and too short for a novel or even a novella. Once I realized that, I lost steam. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/09/29/prey-14-8/#comment-4582 Comment by Wildbow]</ref>
