Background

A creature made by the Sandman to put people to sleep. Its sole purpose is to be whoever or whatever a person wants it to be in order to get them to sleep.

ExpandThis dropdown contains the synopsis of Lullaby’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

When the Sandman put everyone to sleep, for some reason Sophie stays awake. The Sandman creates him with the sole purpose of making her sleep. In order to accomplish it, Lullaby disguises as David Hoover and follows her around the town. It first becomes four dark shadows and torments Anne Flanagan, then becomes a group of homicidal soldiers that plan a firing squad for Regan Blumberg, and finally a dragon that sets Richard Grundler's building on fire. Once the Unicorn reveals that the real David is asleep at his girlfriend's house, Lullaby drops the act and reveals the Sandman motives, transporting her to the Fairy World. If Sophie leaves her jewel with the Unicorn, it turns into its true form. If Sophie decides to take the pink jewel or lets Unicorn keep it and how she chooses to handle the Sandman, the endings may vary. If Sophie lets Unicorn keep the jewel and accidentally kills the Sandman, she gets the Bad End "Queen of the Night". Though guilt-ridden by her accidental murder, Sophie decides it was his fault for making everyone fall asleep forever. Remaining in the fairy realm, she becomes the Queen of the Night, gleefully watching the eternally slumbering world. Lullaby is forced to stay with her, and cannot vanish since Sophie is awake. If she takes the jewel and kills the Sandman, she obtains Bad End "Sleep With One Eye Open". Upon returning home, she discovers that killing the Sandman didn't fix anything: time's still frozen, and she's the only one left awake in this eternally slumbering world. Since Sophie is forced to be awake forever, Lullaby cannot vanish. If she chooses to take the jewel and puts the Sandman to sleep, she gets Bad End "Invisible Sweet Heart". Rather than return to her miserable life, Sophie gives up her humanity so she can stay in the fairy's world, becoming a Glimmer. Lullaby is forced to stay, since he cannot vanish because Sophie is awake. Finally, if Sophie decides to let Unicorn keep the jewel and puts the Sandman to sleep, she earns Happy End "Don't Stay Up Late at Night". Tired after chasing the Sandman and putting him to sleep, Lullaby transforms into Sophie's deceased mother and puts her to sleep. He then vanishes, his work to put Sophie to sleep having been done at last.

Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Genius Intelligence, Reliance (On Source; Will never go away as long as Sophie does not go to sleep, which in cases like Queen of the Night Sophie she will never sleep, even if the Sandman’s dead he will exist), Incorporeality (The human form of David Hoover was just a form he took, he truly has no form as he’s just a lullaby), Illusion Creation ("Real" Illusions), Creation, Shadow Manipulation, Battlefield Removal (Forced Teleportation), Fire Manipulation, & Empathic Manipulation (The shadowy figures, that sent Anne to a different part of the school, the army of men, who are illusions so real that Sophie can actually die to them, and the dragon, who set fire to the entire building were lullaby’s created by Lullaby, to clear up Sophie’s feelings so she would have a peaceful sleep), Wish Granting (It’s his job to grant Sophie’s wishes), Causality Manipulation & Subjective Reality (Everything Sophie wants to happen and dreams of will happen, metaphorically in her head or not, it happens literally), Dimensional Travel (Can take Sophie from the human realm to The Sandman’s universe), Transformation (Shapeshifting; Transformed into a dragon), Large Size (Supersized; As a dragon), Sound Manipulation (As a dragon could cause a shrieked loud enough to push Sophie out of the building)

Other

Standard Tactics: Lullaby acts on the wish of the user he’s made for desires.

Weaknesses: If the user he’s made for falls asleep he will cease to exist.

Note: Due to the unlikelihood of how Lullaby would fight it is assumed he can use his abilities without requiring one to wish it. This is further the case as it looks like he indirectly granted Sophie’s wishes without her even asking.
