A Taste of Winter

Alias(es): Mei
Real Name: unknown
Location: Athens, Greece
Age: early 20s
Seeming: Fairest
Kith: unknown
Court: Winter
Entitlement: none known
Concept: Hunter of lost things
Physical description: 5'6", slender, fair skin, very long raven black straight hair, dark eyes with heavy lashes, small but full mouth, heart shaped face with high cheekbones.
Mask: Mei dresses in slacks and a long jacket, usually black, a shirt of some kind beneath, hair loosely braided back into a long single plait down her back, or sometimes coiled on top of her head, rarely any makeup, yet she's still stunning to look at. She always carries a gun and katana if possible (concealed), and looks uncomfortable if she's forced to go without.
Mein: Somehow looks taller than her 5'6", finer in bone structure, skin luminescently fair, almost translucent, hair hangs to her ankles and is more like living shadows that wrap around her rather than hair. Her eyes are black pits that don't reflect the light, her lips blood red, teeth and ears slightly pointed. Her hands and fingers are very long and fine. Absolutely striking, a cold beauty of shadows and darkness. On certain occasions, her eyes have been described as being 'full of stars'.
Mantle: A faint chill emanates from her. When she's experiencing strong emotions, or using contracts, frost will form on objects and surfaces near her, and a cold mist will hang in the air around her. Her skin takes on a slightly bluish hue.

Under December Skies ...

[edit]

What the Darkness knows ...

Basic Timeline:

unspecified time in Arcadia
12 January 2005 - Ejected from Arcadia into the real world
Feb 2008 - arrives in Athens to make her home, following in the footsteps of her brother, Benares

Current Activities:

Travelling the world, searching for something she's lost.

Background:

Mei was 'born' in Arcadia, she doesn't remember anything before it. Dungeons of ice and darkness were her birthplace, and her schoolyard. She grew into her power learning to hunt and trap and kill, learning to seek out what was lost, whatver her Lord desired.

For years she worked for him willingly, loving him and no other. No act was too much if he but whispered her name. The touch of his hand was reward enough for her to kill in his name. Such was her devotion.

Then, one night (and it was always night), he grew bored of her. Beaten and broken and loving him still, she was cast from his Kingdom, and from Arcadia, cast through the Hedge into a world she'd never known.

There, she was lucky. She was befriended by another Lost known as Benares, who taught her the world, and adopted her into his family. Now she had a place to belong, and tasks to accomplish, and a life to build. And she has done exactly that, all the while still loving the one who cast her from paradise.

Through Benares she met Ignacio Itztli in California. The two hit it off, working together on a number of projects, being the other's sparring partner. They don't see each other often, but when they do it's as if there's been no time between meetings.

Whispers on the night breeze

[edit]

Secretly Said

(quotes from Mei)

"When silent come the dancing eyes ..." - half chanted, half sung, as she moves in for the kill

[edit]

Public Utterances

(quotes about her by others)

"Oh my god, they're full of stars" - said about her eyes on Winter Solstice

[edit]

When Shadows Talk

(rumours, feel free to add)

She once hunted with a katana of ice and night, but it was lost when her Keeper threw her from Arcadia. Some say, when the moon is dark, she hunts with it again.
