Nunnehi are a type of changeling native to North America. While Eurasian changelings walked the Changeling Way to survive the Shattering, Native American changelings took a different path; initially bonding with highly spiritual people who agreed to host them, they remained quiescent within their hosts until they had a child, upon which the Nunnehi would bond with the child before birth. From then on, they would continue to manifest in members of their chosen tribe.
