Name: Echo Pinefoot Age: 130 Appears 21 Race: Fae Occupation: Grocery Vendor Face: Utp Status: Open

Traits: Trusting, Warm, Nurturing            Naive, Forward, Tactless

OVERVIEW:

Still very much a child to the rest of his race, Echo is a one of a kind Fae. Born from the last remaining flower in a barren landscape, he was the final breath of life from an old Fae battlefield. His flower died after birthing him, gifting it's life rather than taking his. Echo flew from the land and searched the Fae realm for a new home. In his travels, he heard stories of other worlds, rife with beings who lived apart from the natural world. Tired from the life of an outcast as an unbound Fae, he eventually found himself in The Ridge. Echo immediately knew that he was meant to be there. Now, the unbound Fae enjoys a life of his own making. He returns to the wild lands outside of The Ridge to grow the crops he needs for his stall, but feels at home in town, selling his wares and connecting with people and races of all kinds. He brings a smile to most faces and can't help but feel that the Fae who would call him a traitor to nature are missing out on whole other kind of beauty in the people of The Ridge. There are others like him, who are no longer tethered to the flora that they were born from, but none who were born that way. Sometimes Echo feels lonely on his circumstances, but mostly blessed with a freedom that no other Fae knows.

CONNECTIONS:

Dax Loran - It was Dax who had first approached Echo upon meeting, not that Echo wouldn’t have eventually succumbed to the urge to introduce himself to every new face, but it was that forwardness that made the human seem so ... different. Echo wants to get to know him better, but the Fae is also fearful of what they might find if they succeed. 

Victoria Amberstone- Echo loves humans, he loves their resolve, their drive, their resourcefulness. The way they live is fascinating to him and in his efforts to assimilate into human society he met Victoria. In his mind, the strongest human in The Ridge. Echo didn't know what it was to have familial connection, but he had heard about it, and heard the feeling of loss described. This painted the picture of Victoria's strength for him. He hopes to help her find a new meaning beyond what she has lost, like his did.

Hiba Keboos - It's extremely uncharacteristic of Echo not to trust, which makes it all the more confusing to him that he doesn't feel he can trust Hiba. He can't put his finger on it  but something about their smile is different to anyone else's and it gives Echo the creeps.

MENTIONS: Marylou Dale, Rhaeda Alroot

QUOTE:

Name: Rhaeda Alroot Age: 2947 appears 32 Race: Fae Occupation: Owner of an Antiques Shop Face: Kristin Kreuk Status: Open [Temporarily being played by Admin Dark]

Traits: Ethereal, Whimsical, Joyous             Distracted, Enigmatic, Innocent         

OVERVIEW:

Rhaeda is one of the oldest and wisest beings in The Ridge, although you would have a hard time knowing this based upon how she presents herself. In her age, and after inhabiting so many times and realms, every place seemed to take a part of her and she lives in all of these planes of existence at one time. She serves as a liaison to the Fae Court, a representative for Fae matters in The Ridge and because of this she has become a defacto leader of the Fae that call the town home. She means well, but she finds it hard to communicate and settle with so many thoughts and fragments running through her head and, because of this, some cast her aside as nothing more than an eccentric business owner. Her shop, filled with antiquities of old, is more of a display of all the treasures she has collected. Rhaeda hopes to find and grow peace in The Ridge through avoiding the mistakes of so many realms before it.

CONNECTIONS:

Michael Damnicus - An Angel not of his time, a sort of moderation between the strict order that Angels seem to crave, but Rhaeda knows that there is beauty in the wild and many prizes to be found in letting things be as they are. She finds him different than the rest, and finds hope for the Angels through him.

Echo Pinefoot - A flower in the dessert, Rhaeda always knew that Echo was resilient. They had been through so much more than most Fae, did not experience the easy and carefree life that one would expect when met by Echo’s brilliant joie de vie, but it’s this perserverance that has Echo down as one of Rhaeda’s favourites ... and she constantly sings his praises to the Fae Court.

Joaquin Vasquez - Rhaeda is well aware of how much of a purist the Shifter is, but this doesn’t deter her from trying to know him better ... if only she could understand why. She’s no closer to getting answers as she is getting a spare moment of his time but, with resentment that deep, there must be a reason.

MENTIONS: Wook Chey, Alexander Charon, Alfreyeda Tenanye

QUOTE:

Name: Aspen Grassknot Age: 874 appears 22 Race: Fae Occupation: Florist Face: Utp Status: Open

Traits: Protective, Loyal, Brave                      Naive, Hopeful, Idealistic

OVERVIEW:

Aspen couldn’t be sure what it was that brought her to The Ridge, a place that is supposedly meant to collect lost things but, to her, she chooses to believe that it wasn’t she that was lost but the land. The Fae, young compared to most her race, had always shared a romantic connection with nature, a kind of love in the purest form, and she believes it was the land of The Ridge that called out for her presence. She does not take her duties lightly but she is somewhat naive to the idea that she, through her kindness of heart and action, can cure the sickness that seemed to encroach upon her new home. Aspen finds special connection with the flowers, the colours and the miracle of their bloom, and has created a reputation for beautifying The Ridge through her arrangements and her presence. 

CONNECTIONS:

Victoria Amberstone - There’s is an innate curiosity tied to humans. They are a blank slate, an unbiased observer to the magic that lives in the world and in them. Of all the humans Aspen has met no one seems to need magic as much as Victoria. There is a pain there, a longing for something not even the human wishes to admit to. Aspen only wishes she could help.

Alfreyeda Tenanye - The Fae came to The Ridge with question, boundless inquiries over the history and confirmation as to the other races that live among her; although she never knew for sure nature seemed to whisper myths into her ear. Alfreyeda is held high in regard as the wisest person that Aspen knows and although she is sure her questions grow tiresome, there is so much to learn from the Elf.

Tucker Pendal - Aspen could tell that there was an immediate connection between herself and the shifter. They were both one of the Earth, the kind where she tended the Earth that had served as his home, and though neither know truly the race of the other, both feel a gravity towards the other that could only be deeper than the joy and banter they share easily.

MENTIONS: Anson Ripley, Emmy Rauvelien, Salix Willowbrook
