Smiling warmly Siobhán nodded at the other girl, Jackie, who seemed quite grateful. "It's always a pleasure to help others. I'm not the Sun but Summer, like my mother." She commented easily as she looked at the other girl. Having been spoken to from another direction Siobhán turned her attention to the young man who she presumed she would be rooming with since he was asking about the bedroom. Her expression softened slightly, fading somewhat to a duller version as she also dulled the brilliant glow she was exuding. "My only request is that I'm left a window bedroom since I need the outdoors. Other than that you are free to choose which room you'll be staying in." She truly hoped she wasn't being too formal with everyone but it took a while for her to truly warm up to people.
Siobhán smiled as she smoothed the gown her mother had given her, there was a welcome ball tonight. They'd all been here a week now and had settled in quite nicely it seemed to her. Her mother's creation was a work of living art, faerie magick. Silken threads of rose gold woven together with the utmost care hugged her upper body tightly while the skirt of the dress fell loosely to the ground. A slit rose high along her right leg up to her hip while the neckline of the dress was a more modest sweetheart showing some cleavage but nothing noteworthy. However, what was truly spectacular was the living vines carefully adhered to the soft fabric, its roots interlaced with the threads. It crawled across her body, flowering beautiful white and gold flowers from its lush emerald foliage. The dress was backless to allow for Siobhán to show the glimmering wings of what seemed to be gold feathers that emerged from her back and the living copper tattoos that swirled and moved across her back like waves in the ocean. Most noticeable was the shimmering copper sun that sat between her wings.
She'd allowed her faerie heritage to return to her features, sharpening them and making the smattering of freckles across her nose and cheekbones glisten like flecks of gold on her face. Her eyes smoldered a dark but brilliant emerald green like someone had placed gemstones there. Her hair flowed down her body nearly to her waist like a waterfall of liquid rose gold now. She nearly always kept her appearance dulled with a glamour. Since most of her classmates appeared human she used a glamour to fit in more readily and draw less attention to herself.
Tonight, though was all about the attention. Hopefully, she would find someone to dance with tonight. Her mother had also given her several bottles of Summer Wine and she nearly couldn't wait to indulge in the fiery liquid that smelled of Summer and made her think of home. Summer Wine was everything about summer, everything that is summer, crammed into a liquid that gave one a sort of high and that feeling you got after spending a lot of time out in the sun. It was pure joy and indulgence in a bottle.
As she touched one of the flowers that bloomed from her dress its petals curled against her fingertips, seeking the warmth of her body. She headed for the ballroom without much attention to anything else. It was decorated spectacularly, with magic of course. The ceiling was a beautiful night sky with twinkling stars and every few moments one would fly in a random direction. The full moon shown brightly casting a silver hue to everything in the room. Tables were set around with cloths and chairs while small bars of finger foods was against either wall but a wide space had been left open for people to dance and mingle. There was a DJ on the stage playing a variety of music from every culture and in nearly every language imaginable.
