Physical description: Reeva stands at about 5ft 5", pretty average height for a girl, sometimes it seems like she's a little taller because she never stands still and has such a spring to her step. Unless something devestating has happened she can be found with a bright and breezy smile at all other times. She's clearly quite athletic and has some muscle tone to her, but then as I said, she never stops. She has a dark brown bob of hair that's often tousled and has one streak of dirty blonde, seemingly natural. Under the mask her eyes are slightly larger, their blackness makes it hard to tell where she's looking. Her teeth become obviously sharper, with two very impressive looking incisors; and brown and cream fur covers her arms and visible skin, with her hands becoming a tad more paw like. Oh... and the tail, hugely important for swimming and balance for agile otters hers seems to simply wag a bit or curl around her leg when she's bored.

A short piece on Reeva's abduction as a mortal - information that she herself doesn't remember.

Associations & Associates

• Evie Greene - One of Reeva's all time heroes. It was Evie that helped her join the Spring Court and it was in Evie that Reeva saw and still sees a lot of what she wishes she could be.
• Bishop Grey - The Bish was the first to find Reeva when she came spluttering out of the hedge. He set her on her feet and she owes him the moon for it.
• Steampunk - Just employed Reeva as a barmaid as his pub the Lost & Found
• The Reverend Marsh - He relies on her for something, or maybe she relies on him. However cold, harsh and abusive he is, she always faces it with a smile.
• Orpheus Bane - has harnessed Reeva's gift of the gab and her desire for quick cash and made her a ticket sales agent for his Ghost Walks.
• Charlie Tyrrell - Another of Reeva's employers, she occasionally lifts and carries things for him. Only difference is it's usually while he's prospecting in the hedge. She can't help but stare.. he's soooo tall.
• Hoffman - A kind soul who offered Reeva a place in his Sanctuary hostel. She hopes to repay the debt of kindness someday soon.
• Rea - Reeva, despite being scared silly of her when she pops out of nowhere, things Rea is a beautiful and facinating woman who she can't help but stare at. The horse? She likes.. The chickens? They HATE her!
• Arthur MacAodh - She met him on an evening that until that point was possibly the most jarring experience she could remember since emerging from the hedge. They found comfort in each other's quest for hope and a better future. Since then she just kept seeing more and more of him. Soon Reeva realised she didn't like it when he wasn't about and when he asked her out it was a breath of fresh air. Reeva adores the fact that he wears his heart on his sleeve, there are no hidden motives... she can usually tell those things. He's honest, he's kind and he's a hero.

Quotes

• "No-one is that fucking happy first thing in the morning. -No-one-. She's bubbly, happy, cheerful, bouncy... And eats more then anyone i've ever known. And that was only on the first day i ever met her." - Steampunk

• blank look "Reeva. Breathe." -Rea

• "Forgive this wayward child, Lord. Let me be your hand, let me draw forth her prayers as the humble man draws water from the well. Let her every scream be as a ululation in your name! May her every welt be a beacon of her faith! May each and every tear be the salt water of her sacrifice!" - The Reverend Marsh

• "Stop staring girl; you'll wear your eyes out!!" - Charlie Tyrrell

• "Never apologise for asking a question young lady." - Orpheus Bane

• "She's... really nice." - a somewhat bashful Arthur MacAodh

• "She's friendly, enthusiastic, and generally lovely to be around. Needs to remember to pause and consider before speaking, sometimes, but hey, same could be said of a lot of people." - Aria

• "It's always nice to meet someone else with an affinity for swimming. She's young and exuberant and I hope that she never loses it, it would be a crime beyond measure if she did." - Graceful Aline

• "I'd almost forgotten what spring was like in bloom, then Reeva reminded me. I wish her and my squire the best." - Aleksander Sokol

• "She's very sweet, and I will never let anyone hurt her." Deyanira

• "Maybe it's because she talks so much, or because she's just a Beast but no-one seems to actually listen to what this youngster has to say. Shame really. I know that'd annoy me!" - B.B. Stoneham

• "She reminds me why I could never be Spring. So much pain, but always hidden, always joy when she speaks. I am no clown to be crying only on the inside." - Cormac the Poet

• "Shes everyones little sister, i think" He pauses, stops, pulls a face "Wait, thats messed up. There just something about Reeva that makes almost everyone want to look after her. And for a lot of the people around, i guess thats just what they need. Most of us lost our families... And she kind of just fills the gap." - Steampunk

• "I just... love her. More than anyone or anything. She lets me burn without going out. She remembers who I am so I don't have to. I love her, and that's all." - Arthur MacAodh

• "Sometimes she seems so passive-agressive, but then you realise, there's no agression in there, just a manic passivity that sees only good in the world. Her optimism's intoxicating, and seductive, but no way to live for anyone who has responsibilities. I've seen so many like her before, and they've never ended up well. I love her dearly, but I'm scared that someone's going to take advantage. Any c*nt tries it, and I'll take their damn throat." - Hoffman

Rumours

• Reeva is actually one of the fairest, not a beast.
• Most swimmerskin can hold their breath underwater for vast expanses of time, Reeva can talk without breathing for great periods of time instead.
