Overview

Alias(es): Gaea Faelis with other changelings or Ginger Page in the everyday world.
Real Name: Unknown
Location: Texas
Age: Appearance: 25 True Age: Unknown
Seeming: Fairest
Kith: Bright One
Court: Summer
Concept: Strength from Fragility
Physical description:
Mask: As Ginger, this particular Bright One looks to be a woman in her mid twenties. Her hair is extremely dark, and cropped short. She says she just likes it, but in truth its because she doesn't want it in her way when she fights. She has a statuesque build and olive-golden skin that speak of Italian heritage, despite her light gold eyes. She's physically fit, and like all the fairest, she has the ability to stop a man in his tracks with just a parting glance.

Mein: As Gaea, this fairest breaks the mold in a few ways, due to her violent escape. While she is indeed beautifully striking, the first thing people tend to notice about her is the fact her lips are gold and so are her hands. It is obvious they were not her first hands and she seems slightly self conscious about it, as she wears gloves often. Her eyes become pure golden sunlight, like the warm sun after a summer afternoon rain. Her skin glows as if she were made to light a path, and she radiates the slight heat of early evening. Her hair in this form is the color of purple at dusk, as if she were the setting sun. She does not speak often, but when she does it is deeper than expected and one can see that most of her teeth are gold plated.

Personality: When one first meets her they don't expect her to be of Summer court, but she is one who's fire runs hot and deep. She never wants anyone to feel the pain she felt thanks to the gentry, and is very much in line with the idea of destroying all true fae.

History

Basic Time line:

Returned in 1997
Gaea in her durance.
Enlarge
Gaea in her durance.

Current Activities: She has a large hollow known as The Harp's Hostel which is a place safe that traveling changelings can come and go from, so long as they pay a small stipend of glamor (1 per week stay).

She's spent the last decade acclimating to society and has become well trained in the summer court and a relatively normal person in society.

Background:

Basic, known ICly background.

  • Beast helped her back to the real world. It was assumed wizend was killed in attack (though this may not be true).
  • 1997 - It was found that Gaea did not understand English, only Latin due to specific part of Arcadia she grew up in. No one knows exactly why. She's learned basic English but does not speak often, and only with those she truly trusts, she's embarrassed by the sound of her voice after the physical trauma Draconis caused.
  • 1997 to Current. She has in the last ten years bought her own coffee shop where she lives, under the guise of being "from Europe" and taken part in changeling society regularly.
  • Summer of 2007 to Current. Won the Summer Games held by the Magistrates of Wax.

IC Quotes from Gaea

Add something you've heard her say, if you want.


"What will it be? Coffee? Biscotti? Ah, new kid on the block. Common in the back, I've got a room you can stay in."

"You really shouldn't have said that." (Quickly followed by several whacks on the back of the head with the broad side of her spear.)

"That's right, I am everyone's mother. Now sit down, shut up, and eat your breakfast."

Rumors

Gaea has a wild streak that comes out after 3 shots of tequila, one long island, and some sex on the beach.

Gaea doesn't know how to express her emotions, so she physically abuses those she desires.

Gaea has recently begun being tutored by Holloway, having seen her potential and has been given the gift of a box of his hematite rings to use as she sees fit.

Gaea is slowly but surely building court goodwill with Winter for the day she finally embraces her True Destiny.

It is believed, that Gaea is in fact made of gold and if a ring is made of the gold from her, it can be used to control her.

It is said that Gaea doesn't own any old fashion clocks.

The boys love Gaea because her hands and mouth are not the only things made of gold

Despite the many men who have tried to court her, Gaea is still a virgin.

Gaea is too afraid to give in to her emotions because she believes she will destroy those she loves.

Gaea had a particular fondness for Oscar, but found him to be lacking in size.

Gaea is in love with someone, but not who anyone expects.

Gaea's only true love is the season of summer itself.

She appears to be clashing with Vestigere the Usurper over some half-remembered feud. How neither of them are dead yet is anyone's guess.

She was visiting Vestigere alright...but not to fight.

You don't get it, do you? Most of her training in Arcadia came from him! She's obligated to him now through a very old pledge. He trained her to become a weapon, and sooner or later, enough of her memories will come back that her training will return with it. Gods help us all...

She has the Midas touch when she's angry.

When Doctor Faust calls out some bad-ass Tolltaker Knight, she's stepping up to save him. What the hell is up with those two?

The reason why Gaea hates the Icebound Duchy so passionately hangs around Belladonna's neck in the form of a heart hook on a string.

Pure darkness makes Gaea whither into nothing, the longer you keep her there, the more she dies. She was almost assassinated this way once.

...Yeah, the would-be assassin was Vestigere!
