Appearance and Personality
Like other Cryptics, Design is a creature with stiff robes and a shifting pattern for a head. Her head pattern is lacy and intricate, and seems to be more fine and graceful than Pattern's. She has a musical, feminine voice.[2]
Design is cheerful and energetic. She enjoys annoying Hoid, poking holes in his stories and tricks in front of others.[2][3]
History
In the months or years leading up to his death, Elhokar had been seeing Cryptics, in their Shadesmar form, in mirrors.[4] He seems to have also spotted a Physical form of a Cryptic at some point, possibly Design.[5] While Elhokar was seeing Cryptics in mirrors for a while, he only began saying the First Ideal just before he died.[6] Hoid later rescued Design from the Fused in Kholinar and bonded her himself.[7][8]
