Name: Wilhelmina Greenwood
Nickname(s): Mina
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Race: Fae
Affiliation: Her odd crew consisting of herself, her twin sister, a storm giant, and his pet spider monster. Occasionally takes security contracts for Shade Securities
Current location:Wandering in the Cascade Mountains
Occupation: Running, surviving, trying to be a good sister
Playby: A model by the name of Любовь Ансимова
Height: 5’1”, shorter than average for her age, likely due to malnourishment at the orphanage and on the run
Build: Thin
Hair: Red to blonde, slightly wavy, usually loose and untamed
Eyes: Light gray/green
Clothing preference: Light sundresses, skirts and loose shirts, etc. Flowy things make her happy. Nothing too bright, though. Pale colors, grays, whites, pastels. Rarely, if ever, wears shoes
Misc.: Freckles on and around her nose, unearthly beauty typical of the Fae
Personality: Slightly more reserved than her sister, somewhat more solemn, but still young and mischievous at heart. Starting to let her childish side out less often, trying to be more mature and restrained, but her more adventurous sister can often coax her out of this shell. They keep each other in balance fairly well...most of the time.
Ambitions: Meeting her mother someday...but not yet
Fears: Separation from El, something happening to El, losing Molag
Habits: Breaking into song and dance when bored, regardless of the consequences this has on mortals within earshot. Anytime she's not focusing on something else or tired, she's sure to be drumming on something, whistling, dancing, playing an instrument, singing, or at the very least, humming.
Religious beliefs: Doesn’t think about religion much, but curious about the fae lifestyle and beliefs
Abilities:
Unique ability:
Using music to enhance her natural fae abilities and charm, and as her own unique form of magic. She can use it to entrance and enchant humans and other races, creating strong emotions in them, especially humans, who are particularly prone to this. Animals are significantly less affected, but may still be soothed or excited by it. Birds, however, do respond remarkably to her whistling and fluting, and are often drawn to her. This may eventually evolve into an ability to use music to weave more powerful enchantments.
Abilities common to Fae:
Weaknesses:
Skills: Dance, charm, fife, singing, music in general
Equipment: Bodhran, fife, an anklet covered in bells to sound like a tambourine, a bag wih several changes of clothes and basic necessities for survival
Family: Gwen Eleanor (twin sister), Queen of the Seelie Court (mother), father unknown
Important relationships: Molag, El
Education: Some normal elementary school before running from the orphanage. Able to read well. Writing is slow and cumbersome beyond signing their names, but is seldom needed
History: Mina and her twin sister are the unwanted children of the Queen of the Summer Court of Faerie. At a young age, they were abandoned at a human orphanage with nothing but their names. While the other children loved them, and the twins were always able to charm them, eventually it became apparent to Mina that some adults were afraid of them. A visitor to the orphanage one day gave Mina a fife, and her powers began to appear soon after, though she only ever used them in play. At the age of seven, Mina and El ran away from the orphanage. After successfully evading capture for most of a year, the police finally caught up with the missing children. During their brief and hopeless struggle to resist being taken back, a storm giant appeared, crushing the police car and killing the officers. The two overjoyed fae girls haven't been separated from the loving giant that adopted them since.
When they need work, the girls and Molag fulfill security contracts with Shade Securities, a company that accepts supernatural beings more readily as employees than many do. The rest of the time, they live as they will, freely wandering the countryside. As the twins grew up, their games with other children they met grew less innocent, and they realized the extent of their powers to charm and manipulate others. Instinct taught them most of what they know, from the binding code regarding deals made with them to their ability to channel magic and cast glamours. They learned quickly to leave themselves loopholes to escape any bargains made, and the many ways they could benefit from making deals with unsuspecting humans. Passing through towns in their wandering, they enjoy toying with the emotions of mortals, and Mina's musical abilities can often earn them food and shelter as needed. El enjoys playing with the hearts of boys more than Mina does, and Mina often joins in, but she prefers other games. Often she'll sing, play, or dance near the edge of town, ensnaring any that see or hear her in her spell, and their longing for that snatch of beautiful music they heard or the glimpse of a dance they saw never leaves them content with their lives. Molag has never been strongly affected by their powers, though whether that's because he's too thick to understand or because they never target him, they don't know.
Mina resents being abandoned at the orphanage, but still hopes to meet their mother again. She doesn't know what she hopes to accomplish with this meeting, and so knows she isn't ready. At the moment, the largest part of her wants an apology and acceptance from their mother, just so she could turn that back on her and reject her, but what she suspects she would find is a mirroring of her emotions on the subject: resentment and disgust. El is more trusting, and still thinks their mother loved them and had a reason for leaving them in thr human world, and Mina doesn't want to break this illusion for El with her less optimistic opinion.

Abilities common to Fae:
- Speaking in tonguessssss
- Ability to channel, add to, and redirect magic cast near or at them
- Group channeling: Ability to channel magic back and forth through other Fae to increase its power
- Ability to cast glamours and see through them
- Ability to detect magic nearby in any form
- Ability to mark humans (or others) as friends or enemies. This mark is seldom given, and can be seen only by other Fae. Only other Fae from the same Court are bound to respect these marks.
- Gain power (strong enough to bypass any magical defenses) over anyone that breaks a deal with them
- Healing magics
Weaknesses:
- Her musical ability takes time to use. Only the weakest souls are caught on the first note, though the typical fae charm and the beauty of the song is often enough to cause them to listen longer
- Iron (same as silver to weres)
- Channeling magic stronger than they can hold will have...unpleasant consequences
- Glamours don't last long outside of their immediate presence (will fade within a few hours of their departure)
- Inability to lie outright...twisting words is fair game
- Inability to break a promise or agreement...loopholes are also fair game
- Bound for a time or a task to any human/other they break a deal with without finding a loophole to justify it
- Bound to replace anything taken with something else out of a need for balance. For this same reason, they cannot offer anything for free, either
