Name: Faerydae
Nickname: Dae
Fav. Food: Energy. Sweet or tart things.
Hated Food: Spicy things.
Hobbies:Sleeping - The ultimate escapism, living in a world of one's own limitless imagination.... Faerydae enjoys a good nap as much as, if not a bit more than, the next person. And let's face it - There isn't much to do in the Rift that would humans would likely call a 'hobby.' So, just had a nice energy meal? Time for a nap. Just scared the crap out of some unsuspecting officers? Time for a nap. Nothing to do? Time for a nap!
People-Watching - People are strange, and they do nonsensical things that defy logic and sense...it's like a train wreak she just can't look away from. Although she has a hard time understanding emotions on....many levels, she has a very clinical interest in observing how people act and react in their natural environment. Perhaps this is in an effort to better understand and react more appropriately in future interactions? She's not sure herself. However it's quite invigorating to try and understand actions that would challenge her world-view, and adjust accordingly.
Lamp Collecting - Faerydae doesn't remember anything about when she was human. The only thing left of that era in her life was a little kerosene camping lamp. Since then, she has made a habit of collecting various lamp-like things she finds throughout the Rift, accumulating quite the collection of crystal-lit lamps. An officer would do well to earn her cooperation through lamp-offerings.
Virtues:Rational Planner - Faerydae appears to have a deep understanding of the logical consequences of each move they make, and easily grasps how each step necessitates or entails the next when coming up with a plan to achieve some goal they have in mind. She will design plans for all the contingencies which are bound to arise and can see the forest from the trees, and can usually foresee systemic errors when a complex project is undertaken. With a pessimistic though objective view, she is not easily swayed by emotion, hope, luck, or chance when making her calculations.
Come as you are - One of the positives about being a pessimist is that you really don't expect anything from anyone. This has lead Faerydae to be a surprisingly really accepting being. She expects and accepts the flaws in others, and can take them in stride without letting it sully her view of the person. She is the kind of person you can bare your worst to, come to at your lowest, and she won't think any less of you, and might even, in her own strange way, make you feel better about your own demons. As such, she kind of becomes a matronly figure to the downtrodden and depressed. She isn't there to tell you it's going to get better or anything like that, but she's there beside you so show you're not alone.
Flaws:Alexithymiac - Faerydae doesn't know how to vocalize her own feelings, because she can't differentiate emotions from one another, limiting her ability to distinguish and describe them to others. Thus she experiences a detachment from her own emotions, and difficulty connecting with others as well. She often seems to lack proper reaction to things, making her appear apathetic, bitchy and unapproachable even, when mostly she is just confused and just doesn't know how to deal with what she, or someone else, is feeling. Especially strong showings of emotion make her even more uncomfortable, to the point where she may just 'shut down' until things are calm again.
Party-pooping Pessimist - Faerydae seeks to show the distasteful realities of the world and eliminate the irrational hopes and expectations of others. Party-pooper? Yeah, that's Dae. Toooooootal buzz-kill! Although to her, she's not a pessimist, but simply a hyper-logical realist. Life is disappointment. Life is best lead without hope. You can't be disappointed if you have no expectations to begin with. She definitely does not view the world with rose-tinted glasses. To her, the glass is neither half-empty or half full, but likely poisoned. Everyone has their own interests at heart, etc. So what keeps her going? Fear. A pessimistic belief that....it can always get worse. That waits after death...could be worse than living.
Abilities:Physical - Scathing Scales - A moth's wings are made of millions of tiny scales. In Faerydae's case, hers aren't quite so microscopic, and when she wants to attack, her wings will glow and then with the fluttering of her wings many small scales fly off at their target. It's like having hundreds of small shards coming at you. Can cause many superficial cuts. Like paper cuts. (so small, but omg the worst.)
Uses: up to 3 times per battle
Magical - Flutter Bye - Largely similar to the butterfly effect, Faerydae temporarily erases one thing from the target's past, causing the target to zone out and mentally live whatever reality would have happened had that 'thing' never happened/not existed. The 'thing' is random, and completely up to the target's player. Attack lasts for 30 seconds, although it may feel like it was longer to the victim. If the player chooses, the character may have lingering mental and/or emotional issues regarding what they experienced.
Uses: up to 3 times per battle
Appearance:This is sheNote: Her wings serve for very minimal gliding use only. No flight.
