History:
Mireille grew up in an upper middle-class family: not rich by any means, but certainly well off enough that she wanted for very little. As a child, her parents constantly regaled her with how smart she was, how pretty she was, how talented she was. As a teenager, she was left with conflicting messages. Her parents still considered her bright and capable and beautiful, but things she read, shows she watched on television... everything else said that she was little more than average, not dumb by any means but not the genius her parents seemed to think. For years, she tried to sort herself out, not really even understanding just why she was uncomfortable and unhappy. Things came to a head when she entered university. She had no real desire to continue her education at that point, but she'd been so conditioned by her parents and society that she literally had no words to explain why it didn't feel right. She let herself get distracted and began failing classes before finally simply choosing not to go to them. Eventually, when she'd convinced herself that there was nothing she could really do, she withdrew from university altogether, and trudged back home to live with her parents as she sorted herself out.

Within a few weeks of being back at home, she met back up with Thomas. She'd gone to school with him, had been best friends with him, but had also lost touch with him when she left for university. Where she'd failed, Thomas had succeeded at school, moving up on the fast track until he'd finished his own school a year early, and had already found a job. They began to spend time together, and slowly came to realize that while they'd been friends before, now things were shifting to something deeper. They were married a year later, and settled down into a decent life together. Thomas made enough money for them to live comfortably, and Mireille began to work on her own options. With Thomas' blessing, she finally decided to try her hand at writing a book, and for two years, worked and slaved over the story. She got it written, cleaned it up, and eventually began to submit it to publishers. Eventually, her book got picked up by Daffodil Books, a small publishing firm located in the nearby city. The night she got the news, she and Thomas went out to celebrate. They had dinner out, went dancing, and enjoyed themselves... and on the way home, their car was hit by a drunk driver who'd lost control. Much of the night is still a blur for Mireille, even now, but she distinctly remembers being trapped in the car, and terrified, and seeing Thomas carefully climb out of the wreckage and cut her free of her seatbelt, pulling her out and resting her gently on the roadside. She remembers that he looked whole and clean, slightly brighter than his surroundings, as though he were standing in light. When she came to in the hospital days later, she was told the truth: her husband had been killed on impact, his body mangled beyond recovery.

Mireille went back home after that, but held herself distant from family and friends, caught up in her grief. She stayed that way for almost a year before tragedy struck yet again, this time taking her parents from her. Their deaths nearly destroyed her. After months of ragged, painful depression, Mireille attempted suicide. Left almost completely alone in the world, she almost succeeded, but for the agent representing her books. He found her near death and contacted the hospital. She spent nearly a year undergoing treatments and dragging herself out of that pit, eventually moving to her current city. The move itself helped the most. She boxed up her parents' and Thomas' belongings and stored them away, living in a nearly spartan home as she gave herself a fresh start. Her agent, Robin Donkin, became a dear friend, and she pushed herself to continue writing. Mireille's life is funded by the combined life insurances of her parents and Thomas, leaving her with more than enough for a comfortable life and the ability to continue her writing without having to push herself to get a day job. But it's an empty life, the loneliness broken only by her get-togethers with Robin.

Mireille is a quiet sort of woman, not unfriendly but shy. Much of the time, there's an air of sadness about her, but it's a faint thing. She's finally moved on from the tragedy and pain that struck her life, and is pushing herself to begin really living again. With Robin's guidance, she writes a series of young adult fantasy books called The Silver Trifecta that has sold decently. It's never hit the top ten list, but it comfortably pads her income from Thomas and her parents, leaving her wanting for very little. She's finally gotten herself back together, and is ready to tackle the one thing that money can't buy... the ability to share her life with someone again.

Page 2 - Hatching Quest

Julien's egg is such a curious thing. It doesn't seem to do much in comparison to the other eggs. It makes you wonder what type of creature is residing inside the the blueish shell. What kind of things could it possibly like? Try to to find two items that you think might appeal to the unhatched egg. Maybe Julien will be convinced to come out of his shell?

Page 2 - Growth Quest to Adolescent

Julien is becoming older, stronger and more self reliant. While he’s still the same little boy who you hatched from the egg, you still start seeing subtle differences that are beginning to blossom mentally and physically in him. There is some hidden ability growing inside Julien, along with his new journey into adolescent. How does he react to these changes and his new ability? Is he scared, happy, or just the same old Julien?

(Note: It doesn’t have to be some extraordinary magical ability. It can be anything from body duplication to “hey I’m an musical genius!” Please, just pick one ability to explore and remember that this is a new ability, so your Ashe may not be fantastic at it the first go.)

Page 4 - Growth Quest to Adult

As the wiles of the teenage years become less appealing Julien must face the past which has yet to be unravelled in his journey to adulthood. As the third of his kind Julien must approach the Seelie Queen and request a hearing with her to learn of who he previously was and why he met such an untimely end.

Furthermore, armed with this new information, it now rests on the Ashe's shoulders, if he wishes, to take permanent residence within the fae courts and assume the role he once had. But the court is wary of the new species of their culture and not all Ashe.

During this quest Julien must also find three suitable offerings which may please those of the Seelie court who do not find favour with him. This can vary from actual item to song, lyric, riddle, material, essence, animal and more. While finding these items he may also find new abilities or master older ones which may or may not change his physical appearance.

Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don’t go so fast
I’m missing the moments as they pass
Now I’ve looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
So wait for me this time
I’m down I’m down on my knees I’m begging for all your sympathy
But you (I’m just an illusion) you don’t seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don’t mean to hurt you)
Now I’ve looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
I’ll take what you give me. please know that I’m learning
So wait for me this time
I should’ve know better
I shouldn’t have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away
Now this is my time
I’m going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn’t have wasted those days)
I’ll take what you give me. please know that I’m learning
I’ve looked in the mirror
My world’s getting clearer
So wait for me this time

A Note From the Player
- -- - -- - -- -

I joined Gaia as a fun alternative to real life rather than as a way to improve myself. My life outside of Gaia is filled with stress and worry, and I needed a place where I could relax and enjoy the flow.

I understand that people may feel their roleplaying skills are superior to my own. Indeed, they may even be correct. But I'm not looking for advice on how to get better at roleplaying or writing, or what I should be doing instead. If I desire advice, I will seek it out and think seriously about it. And if someone is polite about offering advice, after getting my feathers ruffled, I will likely step back and think about it, and may even agree.

But that's not why I'm here, and I offer no promises to consider advice offered without solicitation.

Thank you.
