A yellow spherical shield will surround Fauna when a Whisper charge is active.
Taking damage while having Sake equipped will disable the effect of Sake despite its tooltip saying that you need to take damage to do so, making the two incompatible.
If Body Pillow is equipped, any hits Fauna takes will first consume any stacks of Whisper before damaging the shield.
Sapling
Level 1
Defeated targets have a 5% chance to drop saplings. A sapling heals 3% and increase Fauna's ATK and SPD by 30% for 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, uncollected saplings will move towards Fauna.
Level 2
Defeated targets have a 7% chance to drop saplings. A sapling heals 3% and increase Fauna's ATK and SPD by 50% for 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, uncollected saplings will move towards Fauna.
Level MAX
Defeated targets have a 10% chance to drop saplings. A sapling heals 3% and increase Fauna's ATK and SPD by 70% for 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, uncollected saplings will move towards Fauna.

Saplings are not affected by the character's Pick Up Range, and must be acquired by directly walking over them.
Picking up multiple Saplings will only refresh the buff's duration; the bonuses do not stack.
Overview and Tips
Whisperer is an important skill to maintain Fauna's offensive capability, as its constant healing allows it to activate Guardian Tree frequently. As long as at least a single Whisper charge is active, Guardian Tree will activate once every 2 seconds.
In the later minutes of a run, when there are likely lots of Saplings available, picking up multiple Saplings at once can allow Fauna to activate Guardian Tree in rapid succession, which can assist in dealing damage against large enemy groups or bosses.
As a character with access to multiple healing options, Fauna is one of the characters who is able to benefit from Injection Type Asacoco while having the ability to counteract its HP drain, making it a good potential source of additional ATK.
Mother Nature is based on the fan lore where Fauna is treated as nature itself rather than just its Keeper, a phenomenon she shared with her hololive English -Council- genmates.
The effects of Guardian Tree and Mother Nature of spawning branches/a giant tree was likely initially just a general reference to Fauna's nature association, but can now also be treated as a reference to Fauna's World Tree in the Hololive Minecraft Server. The project started in February of 2023 and as of March 2024 remained incomplete, albeit still in active construction. It is currently one of the biggest structures on the server.[2]
The name of the Sapling skill is based on her fanbase, the Saplings. According to her lore, the Sapling (fanbase) literally returns to nature by becoming actual (immobile) tree saplings, which are collected by Fauna to be planted in the Sapling Forest.
Lore wise, Sapling is similar to Ina'sThe Ancient One, a skill that turns all Hololive fans into fans of specific members.
The Whisperer skill is a reference to Fauna's specialty being her weekly ASMR streams.
