Fae NPC of the Seelie Court
Seelie Fae have just one "True Self"; this is who they really are in their heart of hearts at all times. They also have four Facades (what their personality appears to be on the surface); one to wear for each season. Each of these Facades remains the same every year, so if a Seelie Fae appears to be a Leader this Spring, they will surely be a Leader again next Spring. These seasonal shifts in personality can catch those unfamiliar with the Fae off-guard, but those who have known them for many years have long-since grown accustomed to their friend's "eccentricities."
True Self (Permanent): Reluctant Adventurer: Whatever strange thing you are-you don't want to be it. You long for your "normal" life, before whatever changed you into this thing you can't understand. You are happiest when you discover your place in this new world you've entered, and found some kind of peace with yourself. If this is your True Self, and you have such an epiphany of self-discovery, then choose a new True Self. If this is just your Facade, then keep playing it up...
- Facade during every Spring: Hedonist: Live for today, because tomorrow may never come. You are happiest when you have a great time, or manage to fully express your enthusiasm for life.
- Facade during every Summer: Rebel: You do whatever you want, and ultimately desire freedom from unpleasant societal bonds. You are happiest when your rebellion against authority or the status quo turns out to be for the best.
- Facade during every Autumn: Scrupulous: Honesty is the best policy; integrity is the greatest virtue. You are true to your values, and to everyone around you- all the time. You are happiest when you remain completely honest through a situation where it seems dishonesty would have worked better - and then it turns out your way was for the best.
- Facade during every Winter: Thrill-Seeker: The stakes are just never high enough. More adrenaline, please! You are happiest when you willingly enter a life-threatening situation, and then escape it.
Fae NPC of the UnSeelie Court
Unlike the Seelie, an UnSeelie Fae has more than one "True Self"; they have four. These remain the same during that season each year. Unlike a Facade, which is just an act put on for the benefit of others, these True Selves are who the UnSeelie really is at heart during that particular season. UnSeelie also have a Facade for each season, but it almost never remains the same from year to year. They randomly take on a new Facade every time that there's a change of season. This truly makes the UnSeelie the most unpredictable of creatures.
True Self every Spring: Show-off: You are flamboyant as hell, and love to be the center of attention. You are happiest when you dazzle or impress another person. - Spring Facade this Year: Expert: Whatever it is that you do, you're the best, and people can't help but be impressed. You are happiest when you pull off an impressive feat in the face of incredible odds.
True Self every Summer: Survivor: No matter what happens, you'll pull through it somehow. You're one tough cookie, and don't understand it when others give up so easily. You are happiest when you survive a difficult situation. - Summer Facade this Year: Trickster: Your antics do more than amuse; your pranks and tricks are meant to teach someone a lesson, if they survive... You are happiest when your games utterly baffle people, but are suitably impressed by those individuals who manage to decipher your madness.
True Self every Autumn: Visionary: You have the drive and imagination to keep aiming for the sky and beyond. You are happiest when you convince others to believe in your dreams, and follow your vision. - Autumn Facade this Year: Critic: Everything has a fault, and you will find it. You are happiest when you point out a significant flaw in something.
True Self every Winter: Jester: You are the fool, the comic, the smart-ass, who's always looking for the humor in a situation. You are happiest when you lift someone's spirits, or ease their pain with your humor. - Winter Facade this Year: Instigator: You are the fly in the ointment. Wherever there is a conflict, you will be there to egg the parties on to greater levels of aggression and misery. You're happiest when a situation that could have been solved is made considerably worse as a result of your machinations.
