THE COOK & OWNER

She created food for several different immersive experiences from murder mystery parties to costumed tea parties, date nights and birthdays.

WHIMSY THE WISP
MASCOT & LEGEND
Whimsy is a friendly wisp who doesn’t mind a little tender mischief and loves to go on playful adventures with other travelers off the beaten path discovering new and exciting experiences to revel in. Essentially, they love to have a good time!
I chose this particular spirit with a will (will-o’-the-wisp) for the face of Whimsy Supper Club simply because I love fairy tales and folklore. Despite the depictions of being mischievously horrible, I find that will-o-the-wisps symbolize playfulness, adventure, and a willingness to find your own path. They guide you to other places where you’ll discover new planes of existence.
FUN FACT: Did you know that will-o’-the-wisps are actually a naturally occurring phenomenon in marshes and bogs? These wetlands create the ghostly orbs by forming flammable gas from decaying plant matter built up under the water. Once the gas hits the surface, it ignites, creating the ghostly orb that gently floats in the air.
Whimsy’s existence includes many inspirations. The face is similar to the forest spirits from Princess Mononoke. Its color is from old depictions of their light or flame glowing blue like in Brave. Their playful personality sparks from the sprites similar to Hayao Miyazaki’s characters and more. Whimsy is as complicated as anyone.
