The Hollow Veil
General Appearance:
•- Tiny, feline-like creatures about the size of a gremlin.
•- Fur that flows like silk-mist in pastel hues: lavender, pale gold, mint-green, and silver.
•- A faint halo of pollen-lights drifts around their heads and shoulders.
•- Long, curled ears tipped with flower-petal shapes.
•- Wears delicate accessories: crowns of moonflowers, spider-silk scarves, tiny tail charms.
•- Eyes: Large, luminous, reflecting all the colors of a dreaming garden at dusk.
Witch-like Elements:
•- Their scent mixes vanilla, night-bloom jasmine, and honeyed mist.
Abilities:
•- Memory Lantern: Illuminates paths through emotional storms and Veil tears.
•- Echo Drift: Can briefly phase into an alternate Echo to scout unseen paths.
•- Mistthread Bond: Strengthens emotional resilience between the Familiar and its bonded traveler.
•- Silent Pulse: Communicates emotions and warnings directly into the mind of the bonded soul.
•- Dreamlight Weaving: Weaves glowing threads of dreamstuff to mend broken memories.
•- Pollenveil: Summons a drifting cloud of mist-pollen that hides them and their friends.
•- Echo Soothing: Calms restless Echoes, guiding them back to peace.
Behavior:
•- Highly curious, deeply empathetic, and very playful.
•- Whispers tiny encouragements and blessings in travelers' dreams.
•- Tends to small broken things: lost memories, cracked Echoes, forgotten flowers.
•- Can vanish into a swirl of glittering mist when threatened — never attacking.
Bonding Ritual:
•- A traveler must willingly share a pure memory — joy, sorrow, or love — with the mists of the Whispergroves.
•- If accepted, a Mistwisp Familiar is born from the mist itself, forever linked to the traveler’s emotional soulprint.
Where Found:
•- Most commonly seen in the Verdant Reverie near silver rivers and blooming mistgroves.
•- Some Mistwisps secretly follow kind-hearted travelers, weaving unseen blessings into their paths.
Nature and Myth:
•- Mistwisps are believed to be fragments of ancient, kind dreams that refused to fade.
•- They are gardeners of small hopes, stitching new life from forgotten wonders.
•- It is said that if a Mistwisp weaves a bloom-crown for you, you will never be lost in the Hollow Veil again.
Manifestation Outcome:
•- "Where dreams are too small for the world to notice, the Mistwisp Familiar blooms — a wisp of kindness stitched from mist and memory."
Rarity:
•- Extremely rare outside sacred places like the Verdant Reverie.
Legends and Echoes:
•- Some say that the Mistwisp Familiars are the dreams that the Hollow Veil refused to forget.
•- Ancient songs claim that those who betray their Familiar risk losing themselves entirely to the mist.
Quotes:
•- “Not every dream fades — some stay to guide.”
•- “Where mist lingers, a wisp may listen.”
•- “Hold your memories tight, or your Familiar will hold them tighter.”
Howard Ashman (Music)
Inducted 2001
Producer and lyricist Howard Ashman made a huge splash in the world of Disney animation in 1989 with "The Little Mermaid," which he co-produced with John Musker, while the song "Under the Sea," co-written with composer Alan Menken, won an Oscar® for Best Song. In the infectious Calypso-flavored piece, Sebastian the Crab advises Ariel the lovelorn mermaid to stay home, because the seaweed isn't necessarily greener "undah somebody else's lake."
Howard's lyrics, as Menken recalled, "would wink at the adults and say something to the kids at exactly the same time."
Whether Howard envisioned a hip genie in "Aladdin" performing Fats Waller banter with Cab Calloway flamboyance in the Oscar®-nominated song "Friend Like Me," or the anthropomorphic candlestick in "Beauty and the Beast" oozing with Maurice Chevalier charm while singing the lively Oscar®-nominated "Be Our Guest," he imbued Disney characters with his own sense of emotional realism.
In fact, "Beauty and the Beast," which he executive produced, was the first animated movie ever nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Motion Picture, a category typically reserved for live-action films, while its title song won the songwriters yet another Oscar®. Subsequently, the motion picture was dedicated to Howard, "who gave a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul" after his untimely death on March 14, 1991, prior to the film's release that year.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, on May 17, 1950, the successful lyricist, librettist, playwright, and director received his MFA from Indiana University. In 1974, he moved to New York and became an editor at Grosset & Dunlap, while writing plays including "Dreamstuff," a musical version of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," which marked the beginning of his association with Off-Off-Broadway WPA Theatre in 1977.
Two years later, Howard teamed with Menken for the first time creating a musical version of Kurt Vonnegut's "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater." They went on to write the musical version of Roger Corman's 1960 cult film "Little Shop of Horrors" and won critical raves and awards including the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical of 1982-83. The off-beat show was transformed into a motion picture by Frank Oz in 1986, subsequently winning the musical duo their first Academy Award® nominations.
That same year, Howard penned the wistful ballad "Disneyland" for the Broadway production of "Smile," written with Marvin Hamlisch, depicting utopia as a Disney theme park, and soon after signed a contract with The Walt Disney Company to write lyrics and dialogue for its animated features.
In 1994, "Beauty and the Beast" moved to the New York stage, and has since become Broadway's 10th longest-running musical. The production features "Human Again," a chorus number by Howard and Menken that was storyboarded for the animated motion picture, but never completed. The nearly 10-minute sequence, however, has been newly-animated and added to "Beauty and the Beast," which was re-released on IMAX screens across the nation on January 1, 2002.
