Looking For Links
- I'm still looking for people that my character turned in and were caught and brought back to Arcadia. Not escaping the first time is a fairly common theme.
- I'm also looking for leaders! Behind every good leader are advisers and others to help them see all aspects. My character has no ambition to lead. Instead she only wishes to guide others. She is an Oracle in the truest sense of the word. Soothsayer, fortuneteller and the like. If you are interested in leading your area in back history, this would be a great link! If you wish to come into the chronicle climbing to power, make sure to contact me! Her place is in the shadows to guide and inform those who wish to accomplish great things.
- Also looking for anyone who would use someone like a Seer or fortuneteller for anything! Great for concepts who try to find and help people out of Arcadia.
- Patients! Clara runs a clinic, The Thorndale Manor, of sorts from her home taking care of those injured in the hedge or in general.
- Looking for members of the College of Worms or her College Lyceum of the Domovoi
- I need links in Colorado between 1987-1990
- I also need them for 1993-1999... From anywhere.
- And 2005
History
She's basically an Oracle in the truest sense of the word. She's an adviser to those in power and helps them in their goals by advising them with what she sees in her visions.

Into the thorns
On a sunny day in the middle of no where the hustle and bustle of the world around droned on. A little girl of nine and the boy of the Ring Leader, quietly conspired to sneak off. A few miles back had been a small pond and a tree that would be perfect for climbing.
They knew they should not be wondering off, but they had no need to run around the animals and poke them with sticks today or stare at the fancy light bulb on display. The two finally found themselves running with childish grace and abandon towards where their Utopia that awaited.
Unfortunately though, a Utopia of sorts is what they found. He quickly called around the clearing for her, but she never answered.
He nervously joked that the game was over, but she never showed herself. As he looked around for her, she looked for a way to escape, though escape was too late for her.
Life with Fae
Some are taken for a purpose. Four generations had the gift of sight and while still young, she too possessed it. Though it would be years, on Earth, of practiced patients before she would harness it, did not matter to the Others.
Upset at a recent usurp of escapes, a harsh and cruel man with eyes that still linger in her head came to find a way around the problem. His eyes, they were perfection. They were a pale color of orange like a leaf clinging to a tree, turned by not wanting to let go. Twisting there and letting the sun strike it in just the right light till it was the most brilliant and beautiful shade of orange to exist in the world.
Her small body was chained, beaten and broken as they experimented with her. Seeing what conditions would best bring forth her visions. The visions that would turn her against her fellow "humans". Fae are nothing if not inventive and the "young" Fae wishing to make a name for himself by having an answer to escaping slaves invited any with ideas on how to "help" his newest tool work correctly.
The forms of coaxing were many and horrible. Most of which she never consciously remembers. Her body still shows scars from some, her soul from others and her mind from many. Through the testing they found what they felt gave her the most intense visions. On the top of a beautiful tower they would march her. Her child like body nude, but always clean, warm and fed. They would force her to her knees and chain her body over a small table. Above her several would stand with cruel facsimiles of whips. Chains and spikes and all sorts of nastiness. She would gaze out over Arcadia, it's wonders and beauty forcing herself to not see this world, but that of another.
They would strike at her to help her focus until her eyes took on the distant trance like state and they would wait. She would scream out names, times, places and conspirators. Every time she awoke, she knew what she had done. Her Master, pleased with the information provided began to reward her. But this was both blessing and curse, like all things in that beautifully wretched land.
Her escape
Her body trembled softly during this session. Everything seemed so wrong. She yelled and screamed and turned over the names of those who would try to escape. They wanted more though. More names, more to hunt... Her eyes swiveling to a section close to her though she was not viewing it with her eyes. A vision rose up and she saw her own escape. She saw her valiant effort and she saw herself die. She panicked screaming out the name of the most trusted of humans in her Masters herd.
He was shocked and ended the session before she could see much more. But what she did see would help her. She saw the successful escape of someone she knew... Someone who could help her. That night she dug a knife into her arm over and over trying scenereos
till she found the perfect plan...
New life and Freedom
She is now "home" but it is no longer her home. No more do fortunetellers move with their Circus'. They are different now, huge things that barely resemble what was there before. Some feelings are the same. The mystery, fear, suspense and awe... But this is not her home and that fills her with fear, sadness and anger.
She settles down with the familiar man in the red coat and starts off to make her place. Her body has far exceeded her mind and her
existence is confusing. Her visions come now and because of her time there she knows how to call them. But in this world of outcasts they are not what they use to be. They are not the clear picture shows of accurate depictions and focused enlightenment. The pain of the loss clings tightly in her chest and it's just another one of those things that are both positive and negative.
Her house sits on a lane that's thought to be haunted. It stands as a beacon of hope, yet a beacon of fear. Children come to tell ghost stories at midnight and troubled women wishing to know if they will find love come to seek advice. She is what her family always wished she would be. A Seers with the gift of the second sight. Though she is far more. A Prophetesses and Oracle to the Changeling Courts. Adviser to those who lead and a nurse maid who helps those changelings that have been injured.
