Tommy Blue
From Changeling Venue
Author's note: This wiki entry is super long. I mean, super. Long. It is long in the interests of 1) providing lots of fodder for chracter ties, 2) helping me work out the charcter and history through copious writing, 3) my vanity, 4) your vanity, 5) fuzzy socks, 6) having a central place for approval information. That said, read on. There's a lot. -K

What There Is To Know In A Nut(ter) Shell:
Tommy is mostly unconsciously working towards becoming a leader within her court – the sort of gal who leads from the front, as it were. Her cunning and skill - blending of the application of fear with the carrying out of necessary (and sometimes not) violence - are generally admired and have earned her renown among members of both the Autumn and Summer Courts. Some members of the Autumn Court suspect she may have learned a thing or two from a member of the Scarecrow Ministry, and that once she’s older, she may join. She is something of a young pedagogue where the techniques of inciting fear are concerned, and is always willing to help members of both the Summer and Autumn courts develop those abilities with or without magic.
Suffice to say, Tommy is a lot of things; A hired gun, some hired fun, a nut, a bolt, a lovely older girl, a ruthless weed whacker. Her inherent intensity, complete lack of predictability and clear madness make her an excellent member of the Autumn Court – she’s pretty scary for a number of reasons, one of which is her insanity mixed with adolescence. She has been known to simply pop a few rounds off at an older man or woman who “looks the wrong way” at her. But either she or those around her have made certain that there are checks and balances that contain most of Tommy’s sometimes madcap antics, and what’s left is a truly effective Autumn courtier. She does, after all, exhibit the occasional “nice streak.”

Name: Tommy Blue
Alias: Alice Black
Real Name: Unremembered
Title: Mistress of Lead Hollow
Court: Autumn ****
Goodwill: Summer *** ; Winter *
Apparent Age: Mid to Late Teens
Motley: The Family Twist
Concept: Spinning Whirling Poision Cotton Lead Candy
Mask: (subject to slight changes) Tommy is a buxoum and obviously girl-like girl, unlike many of the more waifish and sallow skinned Darklings. She is pale and her eyes are dark and she tends to dress like a typical emo goth girl, and while her body says she's old, her doll-like face with its one small, blue tear on her right cheek and the naïveté in her eyes suggest that she is likely in fact much younger.
Mein: (subject to slight changes) The fae Tommy is a slightly thinner and definately more androgynous creature. She is a bit like a black-haired Raggedy Anne doll, with the button eyes and slightly freakish yarn curls. As with her Mask, there is small blue tear on her right cheek, but in this guise it glistens as though it should at any moment fall from her cheek.
Mantle: One can smell and feel the abrupt shift to the cold air of Autumn, a breeze that ruffles the yarn of Tommy's hair and mingles with the scent of burning leaves and baking pumpkin bread and gun powder. When she walks, it sounds as though she's stepping on squeltching rotting pumpkins, and there is the echo of gunshots fired far in the distance.
Down the Rabbit Hole: History and Overview
NEEDED:
- 2000: Something to do. Heh. IF we have ties that are ill defined, this is a good spot.
- 2001-02: Other DC/ East Coast bases PCs who are already out of Arcadia.
- 2004 onward: One to two more PCs to have been confronted about their low Clarity by Tommy and offered The Choice (see the very bottom for details)

Super Giant Timeline/Contacts History
(Under Construction and Pending Approval – please check with dates you have, as I’m sure I’ve missed things.)
October 2nd, 1933 – Sarah Whittaker is born in rural (I know, what isn’t rural in) New Hampshire to a superstitious yet Christian farmer and his wife.
December 9th, 1934 – Her little brother Isaac is born. Her mother is overjoyed. Sarah is barely one year old.
October 30th, 1937 – Sarah is taken from a stream near her house. She is just barely four years old.
++++> Durance/Arcadia Details Under Construction <++++
Summer 1997: (7)
- The Lost that was Sarah resurfaces in the mortal world, location somewhere in the North East, having finally escaped the Hedge with three other Lost and with the help of an additional two. She appears only slightly older than when she was taken, and calls herself Tommy.
- hangs out in the NE with Cerannen, Capricious, Jex, Duma and Hush, personally searching New Hampshire for parents, brother, and this thing called a fetch, with no luck. Decides to join the Autumn Court, with the advice and agreement of the two Veteran Lost, Cerannen and Capricious. Eventually the ‘Fantastically Finally Flitted Four’ go their separate ways, Jex with Tommy to the West and Hush with Duma down the Eastern Coast.
1998: (7/8)
- accompanies Jex to the fabled Driftwood, but leaves shortly thereafter in the company of Capricious
- winds her way across the US, looking for hints of family, passes through Cavanaugh's Home for the Wayward and gets useful information from Loch Smith.
- arrives in Racine, West Virginia to “confront” parents and overly androgynous, actually male fetch. Hoary grossness ensues.
- whirls through Charleston, VW and the Bad Penny Saloon, striking up a (reluctant on his end and unconscious on hers) business relationship with Ed Clerogen
1999: (8/9)
- continues the “game” established in the murder of her parents and fetch, which she calls Hunt and Flush. Mostly, she targets people she has learned are classified as bad people, terrorizing them and eventually picking them off.
- utterly lacking in that Clarity stuff and too fond of the game, Tommy is made to take up residence in Pittsburgh and begins seeing a therapist, Doctor Emil Zahne, on Capricious’ urging. Though perhaps a bit too young for placement n the rehabilitation programme at The Pit, she works very closely with the Doctor and undergoes some of the treatments in an adapted form. After a year of sessions, Tommy occasionally begins to refer to herself (themselves?) as Alice.
- Gets s0per neat Birthday present on 9th birthday.
2000: (9/10)
- having made progress as much progress as the Doctor thinks she’s likely to at this point, bored with the world and possessed of itchy feet that have lead to repeated attempts to run away, yet still judged not-quite-ready for interaction with normal school children, Tommy resumes intermittent traveling, but continues her sessions with Dr. Zahne through a pledge of Dream Communication.
- in the Mid West, begins stalking Old Hob at the advice of fellow Autumn Courtiers. Discovers some lovely things about him. Decides she likes him. Bad plan – for everyone else, anyway.
- finds herself in Washington DC, where she gets caught shoplifting from the giftshop in the International Spy Museum whilst impersonating a student that’s a part of a large school group. Gets in less trouble due to the benevolent intervention of Gryphon, who also manages to free the actual school girl that Tommy left trussed up so that she could see the Museum.
2001: (10/11)
- meets Jack Sprat. They discover over coffee that they have too much in common. She begins stalking him in the unconscious need to find her (or at this point any) brother, he totally knows she’s stalking him, and a kinship is born.
- spends her time between hanging out with Jex, Jack Sprat and Gryphon, at the encouragement of Dr. Zhane.
- is present for Jack’s “Intervention”, and is greatly displeased by it, though ultimately she can do little to help him. She stops trying, too, when she learns to her satisfaction that he is going to The Pit.
2002: (11/12)
- Lalita Das and Manjunatha "Manju" Das learn of her through the local grapevine, and contact her to help them with some – ahem – work whilst setting up their business. A partnership is born, even if Tommy doesn’t exactly get the point of all this happy-seeming stuff their doing.
- deprived of Jack’s super awesome company, now longing for her real brother (and feeling guilty for effectively replacing him), and perhaps a little threatened by Gryphon’s inherent goodness, she heads down the coast arriving in Florida, with the intent of looking for her brother from “the bottom up.”
- meets Laurel Thorn in Ft. Lauderdale and enlists her help in, among other things, finding her brother. The search is thorough but ultimately unsuccessful. Tommy is disheartened by the news, but sticks to her course and wanders North.
- arrives in Gainesville, where her disheartened self wanders too close to the Hedge. Aaron keeps her out of it and makes an attempt to help her. Thankful, but suffering from pre-teen woes and feeling stifled by Aaron’s pleasant if somewhat pedantic ways so soon after Laurel’s more familiar company, Tommy demands to be sent to her friend Zoe Edwards, who is on the intended road North and (for Tommy) a dose of like-minded sanity.
- after the breath of fresh Autumn air that is Zoe but no progress on finding her brother, she departs once more, this time for Atlanta
- meets David "Gilded" Manning, who keeps her (again) out of the now siren-like Hedge. David, like Aaron, keeps an eye on her for a while, and introduces her to Parthena who is a local Lostling Helper. The latter conspires to make an “honest girl” out of Tommy. Subsequently she meets Joss Whitney and Dane, and becomes reacquainted with Holly Poppet. The combined efforts of these Lostlings help Alice get back on her (their?) proverbial feet again, and makes Tommy more suitable for school-age-human consumption.
- receives a new identity, thanks to Parthena’s work with Ruby Kirkbride, that will allow her to attend school with Dr. Zahne’s blessing.
2003: (12/13)
- with word from Dane and Joss about a member of the Spring Court on the West Coast who might be her brother, Tommy heads West again.
- staring in California, she “meets” Ignacio Itztli and shows him the twi-light, as it were.
- finally, finally finds her brother, who calls himself Slick, hiding out in Portland OR. Deciding that she doesn’t exactly like his Motley-mate Valentine the Maker, she chooses Seattle as close enough by but far enough away to live in.
- returns to Pittsburgh to visit her therapist after discovering that her brother is a Spring Courtier and therefore utterly alien.
- visits DC, Atl and FL before being consigned to a whole nine months of school in the same place.
- settles herself in at Driftwood to begin Jr. High. Sleepovers abound.
- Meets Race (?not before?). Finds another person who likes to tell her no. Begins to get annoyed, though Alice doesn’t and often spurs Tommy to spend time with him. Decides he is a friend. Decides to start making friendship bracelets cause she’s in Jr. High.
- s0per secret event on 13th Birthday
2004: (13/14)
- brings a the case of Lostling who's lost his way to Justice Drago Verdetti, uncertain as to whether or not she is right in thinking that the person needs help.
- spends the Summer Holidays between Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Florida and DC
- begins 8th Grade. More sleepovers.
2005: (14/15)
- spends the Summer Holidays between Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Florida and DC
- begins High School. Ouch.
- is approached by Ae Lament with a proposition that turns into an informal pledge. The two remain in contact on and off.
2006: (15/16)
- spends the Summer Holidays between Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Florida and DC
- begins Sophomore year
2007: (16/17)
- spends the Summer Holidays between Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Florida and DC

- Dane - "When you have no past that isn't Arcadia, you can't be Spring, or you won't be. He does, he is ... I think his past is just as messed up, though, so he still seems Lost to me. Not like other Springs. Maybe it was that place...."

- "You're a grown-up. Grown-ups are not to be trusted." - Tommy Blue
- "And this, my lovely ickle love, is claret. The ruby red, oh so sweet? Yes, love, it does bring out your eyes. Now slip the point from ear to ear... now, isn't that a pretty smile? What? Oh, love, I was talking about the smile you made... but the one you wear is pretty to, yes." - Jack Sprat
- "There was once a little girl who could have grown up to be someone's wife, someone's mother, someone's doctor, someone's lawyer, maybe even President. Then the Others came... I don't know if that little girl is dead, but I pray every day that she's just buried in there... somewhere." - Race Ardent
- "I have seen the minions of the Gentry surround me. I have been hunted through the hedge by legions of hounds. Until I met Tommy Blue, I had never known darkness could come in such... concentration." - Field Marshall Desert Wind
- "So many roles to play, so many masks. It helps to have another who can play any role, help me scare the children back to the safe places. But, sometimes I wonder if it is safe to be near someone so unstable! I owe her my protection, so I stay close. In truth, she is perhaps the one I want to save the most. But all the lessons I know how to teach are taught with fear, and she ... she is fearless." - Mira Blade
- "If it is that she laughs when others stand crippled by fear, fights with cunning and fury when others flee, and holds onto a few jagged shards of innocence when others sell them to be rid of the pain of them, then perhaps it is not she who is mad." - Cerannen
- "Tommy is like Nitro: highly unstable, dangerous and incredibly useful if controlled. It's the last part that is the trick." - Ae Lament
- "She has got to be the most grown-up young girl I know, but she still manages to have that childish grin. While it's often pretty cute, it's what she's grinning about that really worries me." ~ Aaron
- "The path through life is not always clear. Irony occurs when someone like Tommy helps you limp toward the clarity required to see the crossroads you stand at." ~ Cordelia Marrow
- "Bravery...selflessness...honor. These madnesses are rare outside the two of us. She despises me, but the feeling will never be mutual so long as she cleaves to those qualities." ~ Vestigere the Usurper
- "Sometimes, I feel like the only Lost in the world who doesn't regularly engage in sociopathic and homicidal activities. Then Tommy comes along and proves it." ~ Dr. Emil Zahne
- "One day you will take my place, one day all will be right, but until I'm totally lost, this old man will teach you what fear really tastes like..." ~ Revenant
- "Tommy is good people. Really. What? Oh well sure, sure, she prolly did all that, but like, she did it for a good reason. What? Cause she was bored sounds like a good reason to me, you wanna make something of it?" ~ Old Hob
- "Tommy is a good girl, pretty good shot too. She keeps trying to go into the Hedge though, its like a giant mall to her or something..." ~ Gilded
- "She is a cross between a little sister and a daughter to me. Which is to say that sometimes I want to hug her and tell her it is all going to be okay while other times I just want to ask, 'What the Fuck were you thinking?'; either way, I pity the unfortunate creature that ever hurts my Little Tommy." ~ Joss Whitney
- "She is a delightful girl. You just have to get past the mayhem, youth, theft, and homocidal tendancies. Then she's just like any other adolescent girl her age. I adore her to pieces...hrm..for some reason the term 'pieces' is disconcerting in this context, isn't it?" ~ Parthena
- "I looked up at her from where I'd landed in the gutter, and her first words to me were 'who the fuck are you and what the fuck are you doin' in my book?' Her next words were something about cheeseburgers and finding me something that wasn't rags to wear. Three days later I woke up from my first block party. Tommy grinned at me from a couch across the room, and I knew that His winds couldn't follow where this pretty little Madness had led." ~ Holly Poppet
- "She asked him if she could try to shoot him in the face. He said yes. WHO THE HELL AGREES TO THAT?! Then I'm up there on the roof with her a few hours later when, suprise suprise, she shoots him in the damn face. I warned him she would fuck him up. What exactly was he expecting to happen?" ~ David Burke
- "Sweet Tommy Blue, blue as the sky, the sky that all can see
Young Tommy who, who makes them die, is so very much like me" ~ Touch

Add rumours here!
- Tommy managed to kill her fetch after escapting the hedge - but only after she hunted down and murdered her parents. The collection of wedding rings she wears, one on a chain and the others on her fingers, are a grisly trophy of the event.
- Tommy's Mask is actually a Mirrorskin fake. She won't allow anyone to see her actual Mask.
- After watching a young girl with skin the color of dust gun down a parked bus at a roadside diner in Nowhere USA then come inside and, pretty as you please, order a strawberry milkshake, Quentin Tarentino was inspired to write the character O-ren Ishii.

Character Tie Possibilites
This is not very organised; please bear with me. I'm just getting it up here until I can make it looks prettier.
First off, I want contacts in her Court(s). Autumn, Summer and Winter. Spring is welcome, just - well, odd for Tommy.
Second; In the mortal world, I can have people she's protected, still is protecting, and will protect in the future. I can have missed marks, people who she's done work for, people who know she can do work for them if they want. I can have people she's worked or hunted with, people she's shot in the face (but only once insteada lots of times), and people she's decided she likes or doesn't like for a variety or utter lack of reason. If you have lollipops, she will like you on every day but Fridays, on which she generally prefer jellybeans or dental floss. And sometimes she won't like lollipop givers just 'cause. 'Cause cause makes sense and she doesn't. And I can have other things, therefore, that just don't make any sense at all. You can make it up. Heh.
Third, there is a portion of her time in the Hedge and in Faerie where she is running for her life from her Keeper and trying to get out. During that time, she sometimes manages to stumble upon other changelings. If that changeling is serving his or her Keeper in a manner that reflects an idyllic arrangment where in the changeling does not remeber the Mortal world, or thinks that serving his or her Keeper is generally OK even if it sometimes sucks, Tommy is hell bent upon ruining that pleasant facade. If you'd like your changeling to have been visited by little Tommy on the run, who also would have been willing to help break you out so that we can gather a small group to get out of the hedge, let me know!
Last: I would still like one or two PCs to be some of the Lost that Tommy stalked and cornered, them having descended to a level of Clarity for any number of reasons that made them unsafe to a great many others in a myriad of ways. Tommy offers all these Lost a choice: Get well by Pledging to get help, or die right now. Their choice to and success in regaining their Clarity will in fact endear these PCs to Tommy, and she will do her best to protect them and/or help them in any way that they need. Though - she'll always have a seventh eye on them, just in case. ;-) If you would like your PC to be one of these few, shoot me an e-mail and we'll chat.
