#cairistine

She's got mean mommy vibes 💚

Thank you for asking! And, yeah, she can definitely be bad and she totally plays into it but not in a 'mwah-ha-ha' evil laugh kind of way.

Cairistine is an elf forced into an arranged marriage by her father and is paired with the human King's brother in order to seal a deal between humanity and the elves of Alysium. The brother would then take control of Shadowacre located in the Northernmost mountains and the sole source of what's called 'Godmail.' It's a metal that seems to have otherworldly properties.

I won't get too far into the rest because it'll be told in the books, but Cairistine becomes the ruler of Shadowacre and she absolutely loathes the King and everything he stands for.

Her rise and fight against him is the main plot of the books.

Now, on a meta note: I actually was inspired by Maria Brink from In This Moment for Cairistine on many levels. Hell, she's her face and voice claim for fucks sake but also, her stage personality drives a lot of my thoughts about Cairistine. Especially the most recent releases. Now, not everything is exactly the same, don't get me wrong, but there are some neat little connections to the music I like.

If you want to know anything more about her or any of the characters in Alysium, please ask away!
