Here's Your Friends on the Other Side

She bit her lip, tears threatening to fall as she inwardly cursed whoever thought it was a good idea to set traps in the woods where unsuspecting animals could step in them. Her efforts to free herself were fruitless, and she was struggling not to make a sound for fear of attracting the attention of whoever had set the trap.

In a last desperate effort, she had shifted into her human form, but it had only made matters worse. Now the jagged edges were buried even deeper into her leg, and it was doubtful she’d even be able to walk on the off chance she could pry the jaws open. She dug at the ground around the base of the trap, her pain-hazed mind reasoning she could at least drag herself away from the place. It had not yet occurred to her that the hunter posed less danger to her now than when she was in her fox form.

Name: Faolan

Species: Fae

Preference: pansexual

Age: 300-ish

Court: Seelie

Faolan is a cousin to the Seelie queen- not in line for the throne, but apparently as marquis is close enough of a relation to qualify as an eligible match to form an alliance with. He has wormed his way out of that particular trap twice already.

Faolan takes up travelling in an effort to avoid any more unwanted matches, and as a result gets called ‘solitary’ by his relatives- it is meant as a slur but it does not bother him.

Faolan is an excellent tracker and sometimes offers that as his services, but he is also in the business of trading human commodities (including humans themselves) to other fae in exchange for favors.

Abilities: Upon sensing danger, or something too powerful for him to handle, Faolan’s first instinct is to retreat into the nearest river. Once there, it is impossible to catch him, because he can become one with the river.

However, he is most powerful in the river he was born in, because he is able to control the river itself.

He has the ability to compel most mortals and even some weaker fae to do his bidding

Weaknesses:

He is weaker the further away from a river he is, but he tends to be more feral when cornered, lashing out without reason, much like a wild animal.

Appearance:

Faolan is a river fae- in his natural form, he has silvery blue scales streaking up his arms and the sides of his face and his skin is cold to the touch no matter what the weather. His eyes can theoretically change color to reflect the nearest natural body of water, but since he rarely travels with companions and is usually glamoured, it has never been proven.

Moved Anya over here. I now have two dragons on this blog, so please don’t get confused! 

Ash is the large red dragon who knows what she wants and how to get it

Name: Anya

FC: Mylene Jampanoi

Age: 72, but claims she’s as old as the sea itself

Species: water dragon

Human form:

blue eyes

dark hair

scale pattern across her shoulders (also spreads to her face when she gets upset and her glamour slips )

5'4’’

skin cold to the touch, much like in her dragon form

Dragon form:

blue eyes & scales

due to a birth defect she never grew past 2 and a half ft long (half of that length is just her tail)

scales cold to the touch, resulting in spending lots of time napping in the sunlight

Abilities:

Human form: manipulates water, fighting abilities

Dragon form: flight, spews out water that may or may not freeze on contact, freezes water, camouflage (only when in water), lightning speed (only when in water)

Likes: food, sunshine, water, rain, fluffy pillows, snowglobes

Dislikes: dogs, vehicles, boats, machines

Personality: gets offended easily, will hold a grudge until you appease her with an acceptable gift, very passionate about the ocean and keeping it clean, will try to ‘prove herself’ if someone isn’t scared enough of her, spends a good chunk of her time napping in the sun

Anya left her nest when it became clear she wasn’t going to get any bigger and she was at a disadvantage ( though she remains convinced she’s just a late bloomer). She learned how to create for herself a larger body, and when she realized it came with its own drawbacks (humans’ less-than-flattering attitude towards women in general, for example), she learned how to use it to defend herself and hurt others when the occasion called for it.
