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): Rogue: Screw the world! You do what you need to look out for yourself, and get done what has to get done. If someone else suffers in the process, that's just too bad. You are happiest when your self-centered methods gain you something of significant value.
- Facade during every Spring: 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.
- Facade during every Summer: 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.
- Facade during every Autumn: Leader: You always know the best way to go about doing something, and it only makes sense that people follow your lead. You are happiest when you are able to lead a group in accomplishing a significant task.
- Facade during every Winter: 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.
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: Autocratic: You must be in control of all situations at all times. You are happiest when you maintain control during a situation and succeed. - Spring Facade this Year: Bravo: You have little tolerance for weakness, especially in yourself. You could be a proud warrior, or a just plain bully. You are happiest when you intimidate or physically force someone to back down, or do what you want them to do.
True Self every Summer: Waif: Whether you are or not, you have the appearance of being innocent and weak, and you haven't quite learned to act on your own without relying on others' pity. You are happiest when you accomplish something important without anyone's help. - Summer Facade this Year: Hedonist: Live for today, because tomorrow may never come. You are happiest when you have a great time, and could care less if something important got neglected in the process.
True Self every Autumn: 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. - Autumn Facade this Year: Headgamer: People fascinate you, and you love to see the many ways that they react to the situation which you've so carefully set up for them. You are happiest when you learn new ways to manipulate people from some "experiment" you've performed on them.
True Self every Winter: Autocratic: You must be in control of all situations at all times. You are happiest when you maintain control during a situation and succeed. - Winter Facade this Year: 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.
