*Disclaimer*

I based their character mostly on this story:

The Tale of Punchinello

but there are many many different versions of the character Pulcinella, because of his nature as a stock character in theatre (specifically commedia dell'atre).

Her design!!!:

If anyone... wanted to make art of her.... i would not be mad 👀

Okay thats all for now!! Tysm for reading :D

Bye <3

Neph would probably love Cedar

Mostly due to her not being able to lie

As lying is considered something highly taboo among fae and honesty is really valued on their culture

Lying is one of the worst social thing you can do

They’re surprised when they come to Ever After High and see lying is such a common thing in that world

One thing is that I’ve thought of a name for them! It Nepheleuis or Neph for short

Another thing is that they’re are dangerous. I’ve said and stated this before, but I want to emphasize on that

As stated before, I’m basing faeries from the land of the fae off of real fae or of lore of faeries

And as most know, fae are dangerous. If you piss them off, you’re probable screwed

So it would make sense that applies to this land of the fae

Of course, this isn’t taken seriously at first as people, including the authorities, assume that they can only do as much damage as evil fairies

By dangerous it’s more physical I guess. It can be magical or course, but in the moment they’re more dangerous physically. Especially because of the fact that most far can shapeshift and change their appearance at will, meaning they can change their appareance to be something more harmful

They do not believe in a solid good and evil, so if they hurt someone, there at times where they may not see it as bad. Such as self dense maybe.

Along with the fact that Neph seems to have a thing against the whole destiny system, the authorities also have to take in how potentially dangerous they can be to other students. That probably happening after they attacked a kid. It wasn’t to bad, but the student was still hurt. It was probably out of defense or instinct to keep themselves safe. Or if they felt threatened. They realized their mistake of harming someone without the other person attacking, and would of course apologize, but they wouldn’t understand how the authorities would be concerned.

Basically that concern would probably lead to them having a certain schedule and certain classes.

This honestly would leave them upset

I mean, the headmasters have seemed to open up a little bit after all the episodes, but I still think one of them would still be a bit closer minded. Especially to the fae culture, as it’s super open and free and all that. As well with the fact that in that world, there honestly aren’t that many reliable sources of their culture in that world. By that I mean like books and stuff. Unless they’re written by a fae themselves, it’s unlikely that they’re reliable. As not many people have actually gone there, as you can only get there if a fae opens up a portal there. Plus, most people who have gone there, tend to stay and not come back

If anything actually discriminatory happened by one of the headmasters, their parents would definitely find out and definitely would come to have a chat with them

So like

I imagine when they first come to the school, they have some part of the student council of something show them around and tell them about the school since the huuuge differences in culture

They would honestly probably be a bit rude, without realizing of course. They’re very direct and blunt, so they could easily come off as rude

Especially if the whole destiny thing comes up. They would honestly think the whole structured kind of system is just bs

I thought of some more stuff for them!

First is that they’re actually kind of loud. They just tend to get excited easily, or just feel big emotions in general. Other than just kinda screaming or yelling things, they make a lot of weird animal like screeching noises. Though mostly when they’re angry or startled

They also have a habit of speaking in their own language a lot, usually when mumbling it if they get angry and curse and stuff

They really like to stim! Like chew on chew toys or play with slime. Since they get excited or anxious easily, it helps to calm them down or just helps them to focus in general

They’ve also probably requested to some of the authorities of the school to celebrate some of their holidays too, as their holidays are different ones from what is usually celebrated by most. They would get really happy if the school did celebrate them, or at least brought awareness to them.

They’re also really good at poetry, and like to write it. Though they can end up writing some pretty deep and dark stuff if they get to into it.

They’re also probably banned from the pool because they tried to go in there naked like, three times or something. They don’t get why they were banned, but oh well, there’s a lake near by anyways

Also time runs differently in the land of the fae, and only a faery can open an entrance to it. So it’s not unusual if they come back late from break since time goes by much slower where they’re from.

They honestly probably have scared people a bit due to their erratic behavior

They also really hate getting into royal/rebel kind of conversations, as they find it stupid and useless

They try to make friends with some of the other faeries there, and don’t seem to realize that they’re different than the ones from their home.

Also due to their wings being much different than what people are used to seeing on fae, sometimes people have tried to touch them. They don’t like people touching their wings, as at least for their people, fae are sometimes targets of hunters for their wings as they can be valuable. So it’s kind of a safety mechanism I guess?? They get real defensive when people try to without their permission and have actually tried to attack some people out of instinct. They got in trouble of course, but it’s something they were taught growing up sadly
