Lorecraft Profile:
Likes: Fish (eating them), RT play
Dislikes: Other kids, the competition
Personality:
Fai has done a complete 180 from her former self. She's now quite sweet and polite most of the time and she likes to cling to Daddy. Away from home, she can be a little bossy, pushing other kids around and assuming that she will get her way, but she's nothing like the bully she used to be.
Major Events:
Experts at FactS have determined that Fai's wings will never be able to support her weight.
At Time of Adoption:
She doesn't necessarily hate the world, but she sure acts like it. Faigel will bite, scream, kick, punch, and do whatever else necessary when she feels threatened, which is a large amount of the time. Her greatest fear is being abandoned yet again, especially after having established trust with some of the Technicians. When they let her interact with the other kids, she is something of a bully, always forcing her own way because she's older and stronger. In short, she's very edgy and mean-spirited, something that Seven will hopefully change.
Pre-Faction S:
Faigel is actually one of the older children to be chosen as a handler. She was probably introduced into foster care at a slightly later age (maybe 4 as opposed to right after birth), where she quickly got over her abandonment and began learning how to fend for herself. Even though she was a girl, she played with the boys, fought with the boys, and could throw a punch just as well as any of them. She distrusted most adults, always afraid that they would abandon her just like her parents had. She was adopted several times, but each time, her new parents had been hoping for a shy and loving little girl to raise. Instead, they got Faigel, a rowdy, raucous tomboy who would sooner kick you than hug you. Subsequently, she was abandoned yet again, into a new orphanage, and forced to fight to establish her rank yet again. This not only exacerbated her fears, it made it very difficult for Faction S to track her down.
Faigel was about to be abandoned yet again, when Loremaster Catspaw came to collect her. She showed some improvement while at Faction S and developed a trusting relationship with the techies who took care of her every day, after she'd been there for a few months. However, she was still extremely mistrustful of strangers, and was tricky to place with a mentor.

 About Sevan
Name: Sean Roshred
Nickname: Sevan
Gender: Male
Age: 23 years
Birthdate: February 14
Height: 169cm
Weight: 130lbs
Physical Profile: He's well balanced and after years of construction crew, he's as strong as he needs to be. Seven has scruffy brownish red hair tied back in a low tail, and likes to wear the colors red and pink as a tribute to Lion's favorite magenta shirt, when he's not adorned in standard Techie black.
Likes: Roughousing, having fun, music.
Dislikes: Paperwork
Personality: Fun-loving, optimistic, and always ready for a good laugh. Sevan is a kid who never really grew up. He has developed some amount of maturity since high school, but not much. However, he is very serious when it comes to his work. One little mistake on his part can ruin the entire song with either an earsplitting screech or a roar of static.
Skills: Lights and Sound setups, Microphones.
Occupation: Lightboard and Sound Mixer
Company: Shakespeare's Rose Traditional Theatre House
Faction S: Having been disowned at age 13, Seven has enjoyed his time with the boys at Shakespeare's Rose and his semi-adoption by the actor Leon Shadowfox and his partner Raven Wolfe. Seven has always felt the needed to continue this tradition of mentorship, and while Faigel is much younger than he had in mind, it was not difficult at all to convince him.
General Bio:
As a child, Seven was always the useless one. He was always being outshone by his younger brother Rawely, who was more well behaved, more intelligent, and much more mature. The two siblings did not dislike each other, but when Seven was unable to fall into the dutiful role of protector and provider for Rawely, their father drove them apart. Rawley was the golden child, and Seven was simply unessesary. He was disowned during High School after a major accident involving fire and the chemistry lab.
Seven was working part-time at Shakespeare's Rose at the time. When he was disowned, the actor Leon offered him a place to stay. Seven was then unofficially adopted by the entire resident crew of the theater, and began working there full time once he graduated. He started out in makeup and costumes, plus flies during the actual show. Since he was already on stage left, he was also taught microphones and eventually graduated to mixing on the soundboard, which is his main job now.
Seven's parents have made a point of not keeping track of him and pretending that he never existed, but whenever Rawely is in town, he always swings by the theatre for a visit and usually buys a ticket to the current show.
As it turns out, Sevan is the second youngest in an entire brood of kids that Leon the Lion has taken in. Now that his mentor is getting old, Sevan, Seth, Dominique, Violet, and Pi are all chipping in to give him a graceful retirement.

With: Technician L
Summary
Upon entering the door, Mr. Sean Roshred was attacked by Faigel. However, once she calmed down, they were able to get along quite well, although more destructivly than Technician L would have hoped. She ended the visit early because the two of them insisted on using Faigel's folder to whack a ball back and forth.

Mentor Visit II Faigel glared at the door sullenly. Not that she had anything against the door in particular, but there wasn't anything else in the room to glare at. The ceiling was high and dotted with florescent lights. The floor was covered in orange matting that was halfway between rubber and asphalt. There weren't any windows as far as she could tell, and the walls were white; plain, boring, drab, eye-blinding, white, except for the door. She turned a resentful eye upon the techie standing beside her and hissed angrily. Idleness did not suit her.
She heard the rattle of the doorknob a second before it opened to admit a familiar man. Faigle inhaled deeply, puffing out her chest and tucking her chin down like a contented bird of prey as the feathers of her wings fluffed up. Although she did not smile, she was clearly pleased. The stranger had come to play with her, the one she liked and not any of the others.
Techie L noted this duly before greeting the prospective mentor. "Mr. Sean Roshred." she acknowledged with a nod.
"Please, call me Seven." he returned with a grin, before kneeling down to greet Faigle. "Hey kid. How's it going? Been a while, huh?"
L continued as if she had not heard him. She would start on the informalities when he deserved it, not when he proclaimed himself comfortable. "You were instructed to bring materials with you. Do you have them. If not, they can be provided, but I thought it best that you have your own choice."
The instructions included had also stated that his assignment was the very vague idea of 'Do something quiet. No violence.' With any other child, it might not have been so difficult, but Whitehawk was not only temperamental and inherently violent, she had intense emotions although they passed quickly enough. Still, if he was unable to control her, the situation would break into a slightly unfair fistfight followed by a wrestling match until either the prospective mentor was knocked out or someone was called in to restrain Whitehawk.
Faigle churred and dipped her head in greeting, but did not verbally reply. The L Techie person was talking. Faigle really liked the L Techie person because she was nice and she always knew what to do and she was always calm and restful to be around, but when they were with other people, she sometimes talked too much. It irked her slightly, but she waited. She would get her time with the stranger person soon enough. That was the way it always happened, and then she would go home with him, or that's what the other kids always said. Maybe they were lying. Maybe they made it up because they didn't know at all. Faigle had valiantly resisted any attempt to be tamed by anyone other than Techie L for this very reason, but going home with this stranger person might not be so bad. ... and L person was still talking.
"Yep. I've got a flashlight and shadow puppet things and color-y things and a book." Seven replied, holding up each set of objects as he named them.
"You have three hours, beginning now." said L, setting her watch "Quiet time. No violence. I'll come back when the three hours are over." With that, she left the room. Instead of heading back to her office to sort out paperwork, L bundled it beneath her arm and rounded the corner until she reached a door marked "Observation 2". She entered quietly, shutting the door behind her with a soft click, and took a seat at the window. It was a pane of one-way glass with a semi-transparent coat of paint on the other side so it would match the white walls of the room Whitehawk and her mentor were currently occupying. Color was distorted a bit and she couldn't see the subject's white wings, but everything else was clear enough.
"All righty kiddo. So what do you want to do?" prompted Sevan, plopping down on the floor and patting the space next to him. Faigle lowered herself more gracefully, first bending her knees and folding her wings with her hands outstretched to meet the ground. Once she was kneeling, she flipped her legs out from under herself to get more comfortable. She reached for the flashlight and fiddled with it for a moment before she found the switch that flicked it on. At once, bright flowers blossomed across her retina and she looked away with a hiss. Sevan laughed. "And that's why you should never look directly at the overhead. I suppose you'll learn that when you start school though. Here, may I have that please?" Still blinking hard, Faigle tossed the flashlight at him without a word, but Sevan caught it easily. He pointed it at the ground, and put his hand under it, but the room was already so brightly lit that the circle of light was hardly visible. "Well, nevermind...so what will it be? Coloring or Book?"
With her eyes still watering, Faigle took a moment to reply. "Book." Her voice was soft and shy, completely unlike the loud screeching that she could produce when she was being hostile, or her threatening birdlike growl-hiss.
"All right." said Sevan, spreading the book out between them. "This was written by a man named Ruyard Kipling. It's a book all about animals and there's five stories in it; Mogli's Story, Kotick the White Seal, Rikitikitavi, Tomi of the Elephants, and Her Majesty's Servants. Which one do you want to read?"
Again, that soft, almost melodic voice. "What's they about?"
"Well, Mogli's Story is about a boy who is raised by wolves in the jungle, and how he goes back to humankind. Kotick is a white seal who goes on a quest to find a safe island for his colony. Rikitikitavi is about a mongoose who kills a cobra. Tomi of the Elephants is about the elephant herder's son and how he goes on a midnight ride with KalaNag, his father's elephant. Her Majesty's Servants is a description of all the animals who serve in the army and what they think of each other and their masters. The horses are very proud, the camels are vain, the mules are sensible and so on."
The Stranger-person talked a lot. Faigle didn't understand all of what he said, but she was only half listening anyway. The timbre of his voice, though somewhat uneven and not at all the swinging lilt of someone who was accustomed to speaking with children, was soothing to her. "Kotick." She tested out the word, liking the way it clicked in her mouth. She helped him flip to the correct page, and he began to read.
"Kotick was born on the shores of a sandy beach in Novascotia. His father was a grand old Sea Catch..."
Faigle scooted closer to the Seven-person, leaning her shoulder against his side as her eyes slid over the words while he read. She couldn't follow very quickly, but his voice was slow and even. He took his time reading, making sure she could understand. Gradually, she leaned further into him, coming to rest with her cheek pillowed against the crook of his elbow with one arm curled lazily over his knee and the other tucked beneath her; not reading, just listening.
"Hush now, my baby, the night is behind us, and black are the waters that sparkled so green.
The moon o'er combers looks downwards to find us at rest in the hollows that rustle between.
Where billow meets billow, soft by the pillow;
Ah weary wee flipperling curl at thy ease.
The storm shall not wake thee or shark overtake thee,
Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas."
"That's nice..flows." She commented softly.
"Muh?" Sevan stopped reading for a moment to consider her question. "It's called poetry." he explained. "The writer puts the words together in a way that has a rhythmn like a song. Have you never heard poetry before?"
She shook her head as best she could, then flipped out one wing in a sort of dismissive gesture. "No.."
"Well, I think I know a few more." he offered, setting the book down. "Let's see..here's a short one.
Swift things are beautiful; swallows and deer,
Lightning that falls, bright veined and clear,
Rivers and meteors, wind in the wheat,
The strong withered horse and the runner's sure feet.
And slow things are beautiful; the closing of the day.
The pause of the wave as it curves down to spray,
The ember than crumbles, the opening flower,
And the ox that moves on in the quiet of power."
Faigle churred her approval. It was beautiful and sad and sort of happy at the same time. "And the ox that moves on in the quiet of power." she repeated, trying to mimic the friendly gentleness in the Stranger-person's voice.
"Swift things are beautiful; swallows and deer."
"Swift things are beautiful; swallows and deer."
"Swift things are beautiful; swallows and deer, and lightning that falls, bright-veined and clear."
"Swift things are beautiful; swallows and deer, and lightning..." she trailed off, unable to remember the rest of the line.
"And lightening that falls, bright-veined and clear."
"And ligtening that falls, bright-veined and clear."
Bye the end of the three hours, Faigle could recite the entire first stanza, and most of the second part although she sometimes forgot the lines in the middle, and Sevan's arm was almost completely numb.
"Mr. Roshred," L called from the doorway. giving them a moment to get resettled. "Mr. Sevan Roshred, I have completed observations and I have some paperwork for you here. This is your copy." she said, handing him a stack of papers. "If you'll sign where I've marked, please."
Sevan rifled through what seemed like reams and reams of paper, looking for the red tabs and skimming over the contents of the rest, duly noting the annotation on the back page that stated he had the right to invalidate his signature within the next 10 working days, so he'd have a chance to read through the entire contract. When he had finished, he handed the stack of papers back to her.
Faigle perked up when L-person came back. She let her wings droop against the floor, totally relaxed. When Sevan stood up, she latched an arm around his leg, but didn't bother to move out of the way. L-person was good. Sevan-person was good. Neither of them were going to hurt her.
L fastidiously checked her watch again as she received the stack of paperwork. "One more question. Living arrangements. While FactS prefers that the mentoree have as much contact with the mentor as possible and be raised in a home enviroment, if you are unable to accommodate a child into your household, we can continue to lodge her here and allow you to visit her."
"No, that's fine. Although you can bet I'll be taking you up on that offer when the late night shows start, she'll be fine living with me. Or really, it's your pick, Faigle." he said, reaching down to pet her hair. "Would you rather stay here with - " a quick glance at the name tag " - L, or come home with me?"
Instead of answering, Faigle ducked further behind Sevan, gently reaching up to grasp the hem of his pink shirt.
"Well that settles it." said L decisively. "She'll be going home with you."
