Fae Woods Lines

Hey there, hi there, ho there! I’m Beth and with me I’m bringing in Arachne, in her pre-spider days. Just like the original myth, this Arachne is an expert weaver with a big ol’ ego. In fact, she’s a bit beyond that even. Arachne is a self-taught stitch witch and crafts she weaves and sews can be imbued with power or intentions-- so some of that ego might be a little warranted, though, of course, hubris will still be her undoing some day. The backstory on her is that she was born into a poor farming family and after a scandal involving the son of her family’s landlord, Arachne was forced to leave home and take her skills on the road. She’s hoping to build up a reputation for herself as the greatest weaver/seamstress in all of Fae Woods and her current M.O. includes traveling through all of the lands to pickup on the styles and clothing/tapestry needs of all peoples-- and she has no qualms about ingratiating herself in communities for a while so that she can sell her crafts, no matter how strange it seems to folks that a young Summerwood maiden is traveling as a merchant all on her own.

And, oh yeah, she’s a spy for Queen Morgana but shhhhhh, don’t tell your characters that because it’s not something anyone but Morgana and Arachne, herself, are supposed to know yet. Arachne and her fellow spies don’t even know each other-- which could actually be buckets of fun for the whole family to anyone interested in spy vs. spy shenanigans.

I’m all about plotting with anybody and everybody-- and I’m particularly jazzed about the possibilities for myth/fairytale cross-pollination. Like, does Little Red Riding Hood need a magical new cloak? There’s an Arachne for that! Briar Rose need a spindle to be stabbed with? There’s an Arachne for that! Is Rumpelstiltskin looking for someone to buy the gold he’s spun from straw (or someone to taunt about the fact that he can spin straw into gold while she can’t)? There’s an Arachne for that! And those are just the weaving/sewing-based ideas I’ve had. I’m totally open for further ideas if anyone has them!

Hi hi hi. I'm Kaitlin. I know there are a few of you that know me, but for those of you who don't, I'll tell you a bit about myself.

Once upon a time, a young girl (me...clearly) was left to her own defenses in a world that was cruel and unforgiving! Fortunately that girl was taken in and raised by a gang of traveling, circus Velociraptors. In my time with these Velociraptors I became a skilled tightrope walker. Of course, as time went on, we took our show on the sea...in a pirate ship...and I changed from the tightrope to other parts of the show. We are known as the fearsome pirate-circus troupe. One day we will take over the world. Never fear. We try to be gentle as we can when it comes to devouring humans.

Now onto Ita. Ita is the love of my life a hunter in Winterwood. She was born in Springwood and left to live in Winterwood. Her morals are questionable, really, and she doesn't talk to people all that easily. She's more relaxed with people she's known for a while, but she's still not overly expressive with anyone. She lives in a hut by herself unless someone wants to pick up Saoirse Ronan from Hanna as a hunter, too and then they can be awesome people together. Ummm...THINGS! There are THINGS! I'm too tired to think things. So look here for more!

I'm SO bad at these character intros, but I think that this guy is pretty bad ass, not gonna lie. This is Rumpelstiltskin, but he goes by Connor. You can read about him in more detail in his application, but basically, he has strong powers of transformation/transfiguration. He had a wife and daughter once, but he made the mistake of using transformed coins on hedgewitch. When she found out his trick, she cursed him to live in eternal misery. His appearance was transformed, so naturally he looks like a ugly, ancient goblin, showing his true age of 162. He changes his appearance at ALL times except for while he is sleeping, so that no one knows the truth. If anyone discovers his true name, he loses all of his magical powers and his true appearance is shown for an entire cycle of the moon. Everyone (well, almost everyone) that knows his true name is now dead and gone, so he has gotten rather cocky about this.

He is the town apothecary in springwood, and is a rather miserable rude bastard, but he will gladly transform things for customers, for a price.
