Mask
A lean man with long fine almost preternaturally straight red hair and large brown eyes. Dark tan skin. what muscles he does have seem to be exaggerated a bit. he has a warming smile. along his neck is a scar its shaped like the loop of the noose you can even see the braid of the rope in the scar. every six inches are little 'x's that appear every 4 to 5 inches. the same scar applies to the mein. On the middle of his left forearm is a scar that circles the entire arm.
Mein
In his mein he has a bushy horse tail and a long mane of fiery red hair that flickers and moves like the heat from dieing winter embers. his head is that of a horse seemingly mismatched on his human body. Along his neck where it joins the body, right at the point of transformation from human to horse, is a definitive scar. its shaped like the loop of the noose you can even see the braid of the rope in the scar. every six inches are little 'x's that appear every 4 to 5 inches. the same scar applies to the mask. on his left arm is a scar that circles the middle of his forearm entirely
Mantle
Stark and Almost Starving Aura. the Mantle is bare. his mein will occasionally show scars and ashes fall form his body almost as if he were burned to ash and instantly rejuvenated.
Motley
Cage is one of the founding members of the Brambles Alchemy Motley. He is the primary hedge diver and gatherer of Goblin Fruits.
History. Life before the Capture.
Chase was born in 1946 in Kill Devil Hills, NC. He lived a simple life playing with kids and going to school, all of that changed on the day he was to graduate, on his 18th birthday he was drafted. He had 3 more days of freedom before he was to go fight for the free world. His friends panicked, some happy, others distraught.
That night his friends took him out to the local bar and that’s where he met her, for the first time, the woman with red hair, brown eyes, and a mischievous smile. They sat next to each other at the bar for a few hours, telling stories of their time in school. Apparently they went to the same school, but he had never seen her before. The time was nearing 2 a.m. and the bar was shutting down, most of his friends had left. He was getting ready to say his goodbyes to the lady with the mischievous smile, when a smile and an unknown whisper changed his mind. He spent the night in her arms crying out in pleasure. When he woke up in the morning she was gone and they were in his house. “Was it all a dream” he wondered until he looked in the mirror and saw the scratches on his body from his night with the woman with the mischievous smile. The next 2 days passed in wonderment, partly dream struck, partly terrified about the bus coming to take him away.
2 days later the bus arrives, he looked all over town when he could spare the moments for the lady with the mischievous smile all to no avail. He got on the bus longing for one more kiss. One more night, it was like an addiction he had gone cold turkey on. He sat down looking out to the window and as the bus stopped for gas in Edenton and their; he saw her, she smiled and looked up and said “You will be with me soon enough. Just prove your strength, prove your speed and you will be with me for all time. I promise” she smiled “do you promise?” “I promise…” were the only words he could muster before the bus drove off on its way to Charlotte, on its way to his future.
In his boot camp he endured harsh words and even harsher punishment. He was made to run and jump, to dive and cover, to fight and to live. Everyday whenever he doubted himself he heard in his voice and in hers the words “promise...”
He was trained in radio and in cryptography. He was a modern day messenger boy. He was the fastest runner in his platoon. He ran like no one else and loved the adrenaline.
The Capture
His platoon was pinned down and his radio destroyed. The artillery unit was 500 yards away. The only option was to run, run like he had never run before, through thicket and thatch; through gunmen and snipers, and through mines. If the artillery unit didn’t get these coordinates the guerrillas would kill everyone here. It was a decisive battle. He had no choice. His helmet was heavy it weighed his head, he couldn’t see clearly, his radio unwieldy, he couldn’t keep his balance. He removed them both. He hated his boots, he thought they slowed him down. But it was just plain stupid to run though a combat zone and a forest with out shoes. He crouched and ducked low and then he ran. Feeling his heart beat with purpose and passion, he ran and he ran. He ran into the woman with the mischievous smiles arms. “You kept your promise, and now I am going to keep mine. You’re going to be with me for a very long time” she smiled and he noticed she was changing, part human, part fox, and 9 tails. “I’ve taken you from that place of death and destruction, from that place. And now you’re safe to live and hunt with me, for all time”

Quotes from Others
- "Ah, Mr. Adams. Yes, I have his file right here. In the past three months alone he has visited me more than thirty-five times for various injuries he has sustained while in the hedge. Some would call it foolhardy, but he is well respected and admired in this freehold, and I doubt there are any here who wouldn't go through the hedge for him, if the need arose."
- "Have you have seen the darkness ever give off heat? Have you ever notice the black flames from beyond your wildest fantasies? Have you ever seen someone ... or something ... go beyond the normal speeds of normality and leave a trail of fire behind it? If I had not all ready been through Faerie, I would have probably had to set myself up in a clinic after observing this phenomena of speed, fire and darkness. Were it not for knowing who he truly is, I would have sworn he was a Nightmare out of the truest depths itself."
- "Cage? Yeah he's over there behind the bar next to Lily. Oh and uh...whatever you do, don't ever SAY "for pony" or call him "pony" in anyway. The last guy that did had burns in the shape of horseshoes on his ass. Don't believe me? Here, i took a picture of it on my phone. Yeah crazy huh?"
- "Oh Cage? Yeah! I know Cage. He's like a Pony... only he's on fire and black. Sooooo... he's like a firey, evil pony! But still a pony!"
- "I've see very few who could navigate the Hedge as well myself. I would be honored to work with him again. ... Though I'll be more careful to watch his flames."
- "Cage is one of weirdest Winters I've ever encountered. He doesn't hide much, from what I've seen, and always seems to be exposing himself to the hideous dangers and man-eating plants and animals of the O-town Hedge. The only "Winter" things I can see in him is that he wears a lot of black and might be suicidal, considering how he acts. Still, I like him...he's cool, and plus, he's a huge, black, flaming horse, so somewhere in all that is a joke about him being a giant-dicked homo that I haven't made up yet."
- On finding out Cage had switched courts - "Wait...let me get this right. You switched from the Winter Court, the court of 'Wah, wah, life sucks' to the North Court, which is apparently 'all life is suffering.' Wow...that's some change, there, kiddo."
- "Cage is a sweet boy, always ready with a smile and a drink and a willing ear to help others with their sorrows... I just hope he learns how to deal with his own sorrow one day... preferably before he goes and gets himself killed on one of his suicide runs through the hedge."
- "I like Cage. He's good with the hedge and good with plants. There's also the firey horse aspect and that's just..well.. cool."
- "Oh those goblins were a joke five of them tried to jump me how pathetic. Oh, you were jumped too, where they not the most pathetic thing you have ever seen. ...A pit and spike trap you say... and a barbed wire lasso... and nine of them??? .... uhm, er.. I am sorry, that was probably my fualt."
