Leaf has been the Fool of the Spring Court as long as any can remember. Because she is a simple entertainer those of power and importance don't pay much mind to her or how long she had been around. Most assume she is a couple thousand years old, an adult for a fae but no one of real importance if they give any thought to her age at all. [/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Fae Court:[/color][/b] [indent]Spring[/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Position/Occupation:[/color][/b] [i]Fool of the Spring Court[/i] [indent]Entertainers of high noble houses and lords, the fools use a variety of methods in which to entertain. These include songs, music, storytelling, satire, physical comedy and, to a lesser extent, juggling and acrobatics. The fools are the only member of a Court allowed by law to mock the ruler of any given Court without fear of retribution. They do this in order to provide the King or Queen (who has no other that opposes any of their decisions) a sense of perspective on their actions.[/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Text Color:[/color][/b] [indent]Forest Green [color=ForestGreen]“"[/color][/indent] [color=White][h3][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/h3][/color] [b][color=ForestGreen]Hair Color:[/color][/b] [indent]Shining Gold[/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Eye Color:[/color][/b] [indent]The pale green of newly sprouted grass.[/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Skin Pigmentation:[/color][/b] [indent]The color of milk.[/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Height:[/color][/b] [indent]5’4”[/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Weight:[/color][/b] [indent]90 Pounds[/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Physical Appearance:[/color][/b] [indent]Leaf wears a near perfect Glamour whenever she is in public. Though some aspects of her appearance could be assumed from her race and small moments of seeing partly through the glamour all anyone is aware of in terms of her appearance is the form she cloaks herself.[/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Glamour(s):[/color][/b] [indent]Leaf wears a glamour that is something between that of a normal human and her true form. Her skin is the color of milk and her hair as gold as the sun her tree feeds from. Her face is delicate with porcelain features. Her eyes are the pale green of newly sprouted grass, her eye lids the darker color of tree leaves in midsummer. Her lashes seem to glisten with dewdrops and an image of vines seems to be painted from her left eyebrow down to the base of her lips. Her nimble hands have fingernails the color of fresh topsoil. Her feet and legs are bare. However everything about her image seems to shimmer just slightly as though you could almost see through to her true form but never quite manage it. Sometimes just for a moment her skin appears the green of chlorophyll. Her dress like bark but only for a second out of the corner of your eye and you can never see through the entire glamour no matter how hard you try.[/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Attire:[/color][/b] [indent]She wears a dress that leaves her shoulders free, held up by thin straps woven from vines. Her dress ends just short of her knee with a vine tied under her breasts. The dress itself is the deep green of jungle trees and seems to be woven out of vines though it is solid. Her right knee is decorated with branches and leaves meshed together so thoroughly that you cannot see the skin underneath hinting at some long ago suffered injury or reminder.[/indent] [color=White][h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3][/color] [b][color=ForestGreen]Innate & Outward Personality:[/color][/b] [indent]Leaf is patient and slow to action. She takes stock of every variable and every occurrence and never speaks a word without careful consideration. Rarely though does she do anything more than watch. The fall of kings, the rise of new rulers, the loss of lives and the birth of new souls is but a blink of the eye for her. Her rage is almost never seen if ever someone committed a grievous enough offence to bring it out in her they would instantly regret it. She is witted and sly tongued and clever and most any fae that has ever lived. She does her job as court fool well though she is not afraid to mock the Archon’s decisions or make him look the fool if ever he deserves it.[/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Skills/Talents:[/color][/b] [indent][/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]Goals/Motivation:[/color][/b] [indent]Even for a fae Leaf is patient, as a Hamadryad of considerable age Leaf sees the world much much slower than that of other fae. She sees things in terms of ages past, not years and consequently she is content simply to watch it move past her and enjoy it as it does. She takes significant action only when her kindred, the forest is threatened. She acts as a protector to Pearl her apprentice. [/indent] [b][color=ForestGreen]History:[/color][/b] [indent]Leaf has been a part of the Spring Court for as long as any can remember. No one pays it that much mind as she is not a figure of particular power or influence. Most assume she's a little older than they are and give it no more thought. Her tree some reason must be on the grounds of the palace as she is rarely seen far from Court. After the Awen sent Pearl to the Spring Court to protect her Leaf found her and adopted the young Awenyddion as her apprentice. Leaf is very protective of the young one and is one of the few aware of Pearl's true nature. Most all fae think she is simply a gentry fae. Leaf after piecing together Pearl’s story from the girl’s ramblings theorized that if the Awen were to possess Pearl’s body again as it had in the Winter Court it would kill the young fae. No one was meant to be that close to ultimate knowledge, the fact that Pearl didn’t retain any of it was likely what saved her life, though arguably not her sanity. Leaf always seems to be underfoot at the Spring Palace, in the perfect place at the exact right time no matter the circumstance. Those that have taken any notice of her say that she knows the secrets of the palace better than the Archon himself as she is often disappearing into the roots or ascending to the highest branches that none would dare follow.[/indent] [color=White][h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3][/color] [indent][color=White][h3]| [b][color=HotPink]Pearl[/color][/b] |[/h3] | [i]Surrogate Sister[/i] | [b]Comrades Forever[/b] |[/color] [indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][color=White][h3]| [b]Forests of the Fae[/b] |[/h3] | [i]Daughters, Brothers, Nieces, Nephews[/i] | [b]Guardianship[/b] |[/color] [indent]Leaf regards all the trees and nature spirits of Spring her children and those of the other three realms her nieces and nephew. She watches out for them as best she can though only steps in when something horrible is happening to a large number of her family, like the razing of a forest.
