**Columbine Windwand**

_Behaviour_  
A bringer of light breezes and a changer of weather.

_Seen When_  
Only when the seer holds a four-leafed clover.

_Habitat_  
In mushroom fields and quiet meadows.

_whimpers_ I don’t really like the first name. But I’m a very light-hearted person! And sunny and stuff. So I guess if you’ve got a raincloud over your head and I cheer you up, I’m fulfilling my faerie destiny or something.

Wow, and only lucky people can see me. This might very well be proof that my Aussie is right when he says he’s lucky to have me. Which means I have to file this away so he never sees it!

And I _love_ mushrooms … mmmmnummy! (Er, the eating kind, not the hallucinogenic ones _grins_)
