"I'm simply the life form that's known as Whis! At the moment, it's my job to look after Lord Beerus." - Whis in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’
Whis (ウイス, Uisu) is the angelic attendant of Universe 7's God of Destruction, Beerus, as well as his martial arts teacher. Along with his sisters, he is a child of the Great Priest. Like all attendants, he is bound to the service of his deity and usually does not leave Beerus unaccompanied.
Appearance[]
Whis is a tall, thin humanoid with pale blue skin, white hair, violet eyes and rather effeminate features. He owns a long scepter with a gem that floats above it, and is usually seen holding it in his right hand. Around his neck is a large light blue ring. Whis' attire consists of a maroon robe, a black cuirass with the same white and orange diamond decorations as Beerus, and a blue sash. He also wears black high-heeled shoes with white spats.
Personality[]
Whis has a calm, tom-girlish, aloof, peaceful personality, but is absent-minded and somewhat effeminate nature at time. Very eccentric, his priorities can often seem exceedingly trivial. He remains calm even when his student, Beerus, goes into fits of extreme rage, but can become irritated if Beerus goes too far. A very insightful and carefree individual, he rarely gets worked up or surprised by anything not directly involving Beerus, such as being impressed by Hit's Time-Skip and Goku's Kaio-ken respectively. Despite his carefree nature, he is not without fear, as he became very nervous when Zen-Oh wanted to meet with Goku, albeit this is understandable when the situation involves the Omni-King. He also became somewhat exasperated with Goku's behaviour towards the Great Priest and Zen-Oh, even showing bafflement when Goku gave Zen-Oh his nickname. He is shown to be very well-mannered, always speaking and behaving respectfully to all around him. Likewise, he also dislikes poor table manners, negatively commenting on Beerus' sloppy eating when visiting a planet.
Even in extreme situations, his etiquette doesn't falter, as shown when he politely told the Z Fighters that the entire Solar System will be destroyed in an instant in honorific register while calmly eating a cake. He is also rather considerate, offering Vegeta a better view of Beerus and Goku's fight via his staff and sharing his food with the hungry Pilaf Gang. He appears to enjoy other's company, as seen from his regular meet-ups with Bulma (although it could only be because of her treating him to various meals). His etiquette only briefly faltered once on Vegeta's refusal to enter the Tournament of Power unless his child, Bulla, was born. Originally, Whis was confused and perplexed like Goku; he was not sure why Vegeta wanted to be present for the birth and later was visibly annoyed at Vegeta's stance, even going as far as using his magic abilities to literally warp Bulla out of Bulma's womb to make Vegeta enter, even muttering under his breath now he can fight in an annoyed tone.
Much like Beerus, he has an obsession with food, getting overly excited and somewhat undignified at new cuisines and can be easily persuaded using delicacies. When he reversed time for three minutes, he states he only did so because Earth has so many fine delicacies, and not because caring about the billions of lives on Earth. This mentality makes him appear like a glutton. Similar to Roshi, who only does his lessons when he's given inappropriate material, Whis will only train Vegeta or Goku if some sort of delicacy is involved.
Similarly, he also apparently cares either very little or not at all for the countless lives Beerus has ended in his occupation as a God of Destruction, indicating that, while he is not malevolent, he is, at the very least, indifferent. Along with this, he seems to have very little if not any moral values about the lives of others. This is seen when the Grand Priest states everyone but the angels from the respective universes will be destroyed, and Whis remained cheerful as ever even laughed right in the face of Beerus himself, showing that despite all the eons spent with Beerus, he apparently only saw Beerus as an assignment.
According to Beerus, Whis is also a terrible singer, though whether this is fact or simply Beerus' opinion is unknown.
In the Xenoverse series, Whis is shown to be respectful towards Chronoa and friendly towards Tokitoki, though jokingly suggests Beerus seal Elder Kai away in the Z Sword again to alleviate his anger over Towa's manipulation of both of them. While he is mostly respectful towards the Supreme Kai of Time, he is shown to be fully aware of her terrible cooking skills as he stops reaching for a pudding cup when he realizes Chronoa made them herself and is quick to criticize her after Beerus was enraged after tasting her horrible pudding and is annoyed when she takes his criticism as a complement, before joining the 2nd Future Warrior in combating Beerus to calm him down. Chronoa dislikes it when Whis asked the 2nd Future Warrior if they would like to be the next God of Destruction, even telling him she would not tolerate him trying to recruit Time Patrol staff. He is shown to be excited by the news that Tokitoki recently laid an egg which he is aware contain time for an entirely new universe. Like Chronoa, Whis does not wish for any harm to come to the egg and decides to spare with Beerus and the Future Warrior as he cannot allow Beerus to potentially destroy the egg due to his anger. During his fight with Beerus and the Warrior, he playfully draws his symbol on Beerus' head forcing Beerus to rush off in to wash it off, allowing Whis to spar with the Future Warrior, though the fight does calm Beerus down enough that he is willing to allow the Time Patrol to handle Towa, though is still mad at Whis for drawing on his forehead.
He also helps the Time Patrol by transporting Goku to Age ??? to aid the Future Warrior in the battle with Final Form Mira, who used the Dragon Fist to remove the egg from Mira's body allowing the Future Warrior to destroy Mira without worrying about the egg. While Whis has no problem with traveling through time himself, he considers its use by others outside of the Time Patrol and himself to be a bad thing and tells Goku they shouldn't lingering in Age 852, however he quickly changes his tune when he learns their is going to be a feast and is quick to realize that it was the reason Beerus was strangely absent (presumably Beerus didn't tell Whis about it as payback for drawing on his head) and decides to stayed behind in order to enjoy the food summoned via Chronoa's wish to Shenron. While he joked about Beerus sealing away Elder Kai, he was quick to pacify Beerus with food to prevent him from destroying Elder Kai for angering him, showing that he does not approve of Beerus destroying the God of Creation over a petty argument which would have been improper. Whis also recognizes the 2nd Future Warrior's potential and offers to train them in the hope he might be able to mold them into a candidate for the next God of Destruction to replace Beerus if he were to die.
