Created character article covering Cabbage's role, species, traversal mechanics, and naming
Cabbage is Juno's constant companion in Alabaster Dawn. They are a small water pig that floats in midair on a tiny glowing cloud, and they are the first friendly face Juno meets after waking in the Cliff-Side Shelter. Cabbage's role is part guide, part traversal helper, and part early-game weapons quartermaster: nearly all of the early Divine weapons are first placed in Juno's hands by Cabbage.
Cabbage's name was chosen for them by Juno when she first picked up a Divine Marble in the corrupted Cliff-Side Shelter. The pronouns Cabbage uses are they/them. Their species is officially "water pig", a detail confirmed in early developer commentary about their design. The water pig species explains why Cabbage drifts on a small floating cloud rather than walking; in one optional moment in southwest Lira's Garden, Cabbage will stand under a waterfall in a nod to capybara spas, despite Juno noting that the water passes through them rather than soaking them.
Cabbage first appears immediately after Juno claims the Divine Marble near the entrance of the Cliff-Side Shelter. From that point forward, Cabbage stays close to Juno through the entirety of the corrupted Koro Valley trek and the early arc back at Lyhamn.
Cabbage's most important early function is the handoff of Bogha Solas, the Divine Crossbow. Juno picks it up from Cabbage at the Median Divide section of Koro Valley to reach a high-up switch she could not otherwise hit. Cabbage also helps gate-keep certain puzzle areas: the small floating cloud allows them to phase across surfaces Juno cannot, and a few path puzzles require Juno to follow a route Cabbage indicates first.
Cabbage is not a combat ally in the traditional sense. They do not deal damage and do not take aggro from Nuemera. What Cabbage provides is positional support, light navigation cues, and occasional puzzle entity interactions where their cloud can drift into a spot that triggers a switch. Cabbage's role grows in subsequent chapters of the planned Early Access roadmap.
In the southwest of Lira's Garden, a large face appears on a cliff and greets Juno in rainbow text if interacted with. The face only appears the first time the map is loaded.
Cabbage is one of the earliest character designs publicly shown for the project. Their basic look has remained consistent across the studio's pre-launch reveals.
