La Comtesse Adeline Glace de l'Hiver Gelé
From Changeling Venue
Contents |
Description
The Countess Adeline Glace has transformed her little corner of Arcadia into a permanent French winter. Her County in Faerie also, possibly subconsciously to its Countess, reflects her true personality. The Countess Adeline Glace is an fickle, wrathful ice queen. One of her favorite past times is watching and betting against other Genty on arenas in which Changelings fight, sometimes to their deaths. To dispose of would-be Lost, she doesn't employ other True Fae, Lost or enter Changelings into arenas, she sleeps with them, killing them before the night of pleasure is finished.
The Countess is a creature of stunning Victorian beauty and is usually seen in flowing dresses of white and various shades of blue.
(More to come. Promise!)

Spending Time in l'Hiver Gelé
More elaboration on everyday life to be included here when I get more time.
In the Comtess' mind, there are several levels of trust and it's a lot like a slide on a playground. When you hit the top, you may stay at the top for a while, but inevitably you will slide quickly down below the bottom to your death.
When you enter her court after either being fetched or by being found (as a mortal) in the Hedge, you are on the lowest level and you remain there until you do something to prove your worth, either by being an adept and useful slave for a time period set by La Comtess or do something outstanding to prove yourself.
Next, you are up to the second level of trust and allowance. You are allowed to walk about her County while within eyesight of one of her officials; not that there is much to do in a wintery French province but at least you're not a slave anymore working for her, most of the time, amusement. This level is where most Lost-To-Be level out. If you attain this level by proving yourself, you open the door to the next level of trust.
At the third level, you are allowed to wander freely but are still watched when in proximity of an Other. You have proven yourself time and time again to La Comtess and she has given you perhaps a small home or small shop in one of the small villages, depending upon what you have done.
The next level is attained only after a set time period, generally 10 years. If during this time there have been no problems with you, you have not tried to escape and you have proven yourself above and beyond what is asked of you in your village, perhaps stepped up to be a leader in your village, you are invited up to the fourth level of trust, including being brought into her grand estate and given a room, never in the same wing as hers, though. The Changelings who make it inside "Le Coeur Saphir de l'Hiver Gelé " and are brave enough to wander around may soon realize that while there are many, many rooms in her half of Le Coeur Saphir but no one sees anyone else staying there.
There is one more "safe" level of trust that can be attained and it is never really given permanently, but can definitely be given more than once. Quite simply, one day, the Countess either invites you to her wing, if you are already inside Le Coeur Saphir, or appears via carriage at your home in one of the villages. Upon arriving, she is very cut to the chase. She seduces you, even if you're not into girls(sometimes by way of True Fae Contract if you prove to be very unaccepting), and gives you the night of your life, not stopping until you are finished. She never gives the implication that she is tired or near her climax unless she feels you need such a thing to achieve yours and she is very good at interpreting what you want, some believe by means of another telepathic sort of contract. She feeds off of the energy of her mate for the evening, quite literally, and can only achieve orgasm when they do, leaving you feeling tired and exhausted for usually near a week(Mechanically, a week minus your Resolve or Stamina, whichever is lower) while she can be seen afterwards in Le Coeur Saphir as cheerful(yet no less cold hearted in decisions and such) and energetic. Also at this level, you are almost always one of La Comtess' court, either as a Knight Captain of her Guard, Head Chef or other similarly important job in Le Coeur Saphir.
The final stage of trust is not so much a level of trust at all. Upon reaching this final stage, you are either approached by the Comtess or sent a message by a guard or messenger that simply has, in very beautiful cursive penmanship, your name, the words, "I love you," and her name and full title at the end. That very night you are taken to Le Coeur Saphir and delivered to her by the Knight Captain(who is forced to remain in the room the remainder of the evening to make sure an escape is not attempted) where she once again gives you an immensely fun night of pleasure, though this time, just as you are nearing climax(some residents spread word that the feeling is forced on you after a time), the Comtess draws a knife from her pillows and slits your throat, letting your blood fall upon her, pooling on her and in her bed. She screams out in ecstasy, as if she needed this to reach orgasm, and curls up with your lifeless form until the morning where she rises as if nothing happened, enters her bath and "Third Level Servants" clean up the mess.
For the next few days(per the character's Resolve), the Comtess has exceptionally bright blue eyes, almost as if they burn with an icy blue flame and small fangs. Most Changelings have come to the conclusion she is the reason men believe in Succubi and other such female demons who steal men's souls, pretending to love them just to use them to fuel their own dark energy
