Xylem is a Branched scientist sent to Divine Principality space to conduct research. During its time there, it becomes the first Branched person to join Wakeful.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
“
Its skin is like all kinds of wood: knotted and bark and varnished and dusty, dead and alive and filled with smaller life.”
Xylem's body takes the form of any kind of wood, from a forest to a small pile of sawdust. It frequently shifts between different forms.
