"An undead spirit known for its magical singing voice, its earth-shattering scream and desire for...vengeance"
-Zarya and Emerald reading about banshees in one of the books
Vesper is a banshee who possess unusually strong sound/music-based abilities, similar to a siren. Due to her natural singing voice, she had a band of her own, which she called Vesper & the Phantoms. As a backup singer, the gnome Lance O'Lovely turned bitter of her talents and used a magical microphone to rob her of her magical voice, which left her with nothing but her ultrasonic shrieks and ground-shattering screams.
Unable to stand being overshadowed by a fraud, she appeared and abducted Lance, taking the gold microphone that gave him all of his musical talents, and brought him to Sound Lair Studios.
Her only appearance is in Episode Twenty-Three. She is mentioned in "Fear the Spectral Hand" by acting King Gawayne, who thinks she is "empowering."
The only song she sang is:
My heart cries out
Like a banshee in the night
It longs to be heard
It screams to take flight
I'm a unicorn bold
Gotta hold on tight
While we rock it all night
While we rock it all night
