Sir Von Icicle

A very loyal wombat (definitely not a disguised penguin)!

Sir Von Icicle is a protector of bats working under Queen TaraFaeBelle. He is most known for his sticky note antics.
I am the mighty wombat: Sir Von Icicle. I am a vassal under the mighty queen Tarafaebelle. I lead the Totally Bat Squad, also the known as the Most Fierce Bats or the We Definitely Are Bats Not Escaped Penguins. We have been called on rare occasions the Sticky Note Weirdos or the Sticky Note Thieves, but that’s just slander!

Sex: Male
Height: King Penguin height (not that I am one!)
All people are bats, definitely not other beings in disguise.

Vocation and Skills/Aptitudes

Literomancy

Sir Von Icicle's literomancy revolves around sticky notes. It works by drawing pictographs onto stickynotes as buffs that activate when stuck onto something. These may be to give people buffs (e.g. Battle of Crystal Song sticky note filk), to create simple inanimate objects (e.g. his shield in The Battle of Crystal Song) or to amplify other buffs (e.g. in The Cavern, notes of "have a good day" with a smiley face may enhance the positive vibes of people passing closely by that note via mixing with Queen Tara and/or Phyreball's buffs in the walls.) Sticky Notes were also used for buffs and encouragement during the Chiropteran Coffee Creamer Testing Word Crawl.

Employment

Knightwing Duties
As a Knightwing, Sir Von Icicle is the leader of The Totally Bat Squad, which are 'totally bats' and they are very batty. Their role in the Cavern is to be helpful, protect everyone's mental states and make people smile. This includes duties such as:

  • Handing out sticky notes to all who enter the Cavern (please have empty pockets for us to deposit into)
  • Sticky note logistics
  • Post-it notes customs

We help promote sticky note fluidity
  • Adding signs around the Cavern, helpfully directing people (very rarely leading to shenanigans and pranks - including easier places to be pickpocketed of sticky notes)
  • Deliver messages

Rarely means as often as the amount of rare gems Tara has, right?
  • Go on quests for Queen Tara
  • Helping kitchen staff with deliveries and making sure everyone eats food
  • Training The Kittens (Bat Cat's underlings)
  • Making the Cavern more accessible for all movement types, e.g. Flying foxes (zip-lines) for "bats that don't fly"

And ramps for sliding on our bellies for fun - ah, no for speedy deliveries
Wombats are really good at fishing - cause we're wombats and definitely not penguins in disguise.
Example of a quest for Queen Tara:

Words on the above sticky note
I have finally returned my dear Queen. I have located the perfect stickynotes. They are the best, so shiny, so sparkly, and will help ith your literomancy. Kind regards, Sir Von Icicle
I have a lot of fun in the Cavern: exploring, posting very helpful post-it notes around -like the ones on the ground that say 'don’t look at this' to warn people that there is a ledge in that cave that they will hit their head on if they look down in that spot.
— Diary of a Knightwing
Always keep your post-it notes handy as it can save someone's life (I don’t know how but it happens).
Also keep an eye on your post-it note as you never know when a stealthy penguin will steal it.
 

History

If the queen gets a visit from the slavers in short shorts, or as they call themselves, 'the Zoo keepers', about missing penguins: I advise you to remind them that the Bat Squad have been bats in this Cavern since birth, that they have always been here, and are not wearing bat costumes. Definitely don’t let them meet the Totally Bat Squad because they never seem to believe these facts that they are shown, even when it's right in front of them! This even happened at the zoo --well, would happen at the zoo.
— Diary of a Knightwing
Undead
In November of 2025, Bard's concert outside the Cavern brought the Undead in week 1. Here, Sir Von Icicle had to temporarily take over Phyreball's technology duties and went ahead clicking buttons. When a Litroball rolled nearby, seeing a button, he clicked it. The Totally Bat Squad, seeing him sucked into the litroball and able to roll around quickly, found litroballs of their own to jump into. Thus, they joined the Kitsune-gumi for the rest of The Sixth Word War.
