leo goes by he/him in the sight of most people. Unless wearing women’s garments then prefers she/her, however that is something reserved for a small group.  he is from the small isle of daeven off the coast of withermore and serves the withermore court.  although leo appears to be thirty-six, he is actually sixty-two. 

TW: Death.

Off the coast of Withmore there lies a small island Daeven that is inhabited by mostly fae creatures with their own customs and even small royal courts such as the Summer Court with the seelie faes and the Winter Court with the unseelie faes. Both courts serve the Court of Light and Dark. On this hidden island glamoured to keep most creatures away, lives the Dawson family that stretched generations as habitants of the isle. The Dawsons were well known, they were one of the poorer families of the island that always had many offspring.

In Leo’s immediate family, there were twelve children all together. Leo and his twin brother were smacked right in between all the siblings. Although a loving and nurturing family, as Leo grew up often feeling overlooked he became bitter about his family’s station in life and decided to do something about it. For decades in his youth, he would read and travel the different continents building different connections all over the world and picking up different masteries in the arts, sword and other skill sets.

Eventually, it all paid off when he ended up in the Court of Light and Dark. At first, it was a small invitation to join in one of the balls. However, he made an everlasting appearance that gained favor with the royal family and he started to be invited more and more. During this time, he managed to create a bond with the Prince of the Court of Light and Dark and became a friend to the man. Over the next decade, the Prince would come to Leo for advice and lessons on the many things he had learned during his travels. And when the Prince’s father died and became King, he named Leo as the Royal Advisor.

Since becoming the Royal Advisor, the politics of the inner courts have been difficult to navigate, but the fae manages to keep his title while using his persuasion on the King to guide the country in the way he sees fit.

WHAT ARE YOU...?

species: unseelie fae. weaknesses: iron, it is poisonous to his fae kind, salt circle, it can create a trap for his fae kind rendering their magic useless if trapped, mortal. strengths: is fae with wings and is capable of flying, possesses glamor and is able to change his appearance between fae creature and human for mortals. has some magical abilities such as persuasion, this is limited and can only persuade but not fully change someone’s mind. also, in the dawson fae family everyone possesses some kind of magic to do with nature/elements, for leo, it is water/ice. physical description: leo is six feet tall with a slender build, piercing blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. the fae has a set of wings that he hides well with his glamor that drop down to the floor along with a small set of horns, which he also uses glamor to hide. leo sports several piercings in his ears and other hidden places. additional info: none.

For Purity!

Describe your biggest pet peeve.

You’re given an unlimited budget to build anything you want!  What do you build and where do you build it?

Where were you born?  Where did you grow up?  Where do you live now?

"Oh, hello there!" She waves hello, with a smile. The water that was swirling around her pausing so she can see without it obstructing her vision.

She bites her lip, thinking about the first of the 3 questions "a pet peeve... Hmmm" her eye brows are furrowed, she's deep in thought. " maybe, crossing boundaries? I know people don't know a lot about me, but with 4 kids running around along with everyone else at the lake, I've gotten use to a lot of chaos. But I think if someone was purposely breaking the rules or doing something that they know they shouldn't I'd probably get really annoyed." She seems done with the thought, before she perks up, having remembered another thing, "keeping me out of the loop! That's another thing that can kinda annoy me. Ya know how it is." She trails off mentioning something about Faries showing up while she was away.

"Anyways, nevermind that! Your next question. An unlimited budget? Ooooohhh. Probably a temple for Jjjin." She nods her head, yes, a very good idea indeed, "oh you wouldn't know who he is! Sorry! Jin Jhin Jinn is a deity. He has the ability to read people?" She pauses, trying to convey what he does correctly, "Like in a book way. It's not awesome to go through but uhhhh, he's, he's family" she chuckles, it must sound insane to hear but yes, this deity has somehow made it's way into a found family unit. "He's been wanting his own sort of area for a while, and originally he asked for it to be made of stone and marble but with having to make it by hand that's not really an option? But with an unlimited budget. Ooooh and then we could make everyone's rooms nicer, and get better beds, Arin would love a nicer bed ohh yeah" she notices she's gone on a bit of a tangent she clasps her hands and looks back up, "heh, Sorry, to answer your question, I would use an unlimited budget to rebuild and improve everyone's living conditions around the lake." She smiles, happy with that answer. It isn't hard to see that her needs are very community focused. It seems that the focus is on the 10+ other people who live with her, not so much herself.

"Aaanndd lastly where was I..." The word born doesn't make it past her lips. She seems to zone out a bit, her expression growing just the faintest bit darker. But she snaps out of it quickly. "I don't really remember that too much, uhhmm. Where I live and grew up however, that's the same place! Lake Lëah, you probably wouldn't really find it on a map. I think its relatively small on a map of Daeven. But I've lived there basically my entire life! My dad's found me and they've been taking care of me and helping me with my elemental skills since I could walk basically." She smiles. Hmmmm. Inch resting

Druindar Faeren

Stephen’s biological father.

Druindar Faeren is one of the worst fathers in history. An abusive, sexist, racist, xenophobic, and homophobic elf of the Faeren Clan; Druindar had always been the worst of Stephen’s tormentors going on par with Zentha, whom Druindar didn’t love, but merely saw her as good breeding stock. Both were undeniably toxic and encouraged their children to be cruel to one another, as well as going as far as even reminding the children that they are merely tools of their father.

Perform well, get love and attention.  Perform poorly, neglect. Disobey-kicked out or worse.

Druindar was also involved in various illegal activities, which was how the Faerens kept their vast fortune and often paid off the police both humans and those involved in their community to look the other way. If not, well they would be taken care of via enchantment.

When Stephen was born, Druindar had accused Zentha of an affair and refused to believe that the DNA test results were legitimate. Unfortunately, he was forced to accept it as he couldn’t cause anymore scandal for the family; this though sealed the poor innocent child’s fate. 

Druindar became unbelievably cruel towards Stephen, participating in as many beatings as he could and inflicting starvation on the boy when he got older; the only reprieve Stephen got was when Druindar moved the rest of the family to New York but it didn’t last long. 

As Stephen grew, Druindar would get crueler, increasing his abusive techniques and venting his hatred for the boy. And it got worse when he learned that Stephen was an omega; which prompted him to agree with Zentha to put him on suppressants. Druindar often invaded his privacy and threatened to kill Stephen himself if he ever found out that his son was into men and not women. When Stephen had also been unable to produce the same magic as the Faeren Clan and Zentha’s were known for, he beat Stephen so badly that it was a miracle that the boy didn’t die.

Thankfully Druindar got his comeuppance after Stephen got involved with Ralnor Daeven. He had fled back to the UK and no one has heard of him since, though he is still hunted and charged with various crimes; one of them being murder from back in his youth and attempted murder on Stephen. 

Yun is watching for him and Stephen has full rights to end his death.

[leopold--dawson]

Times such as these brought back a flood of memories for Leopold, back on the small isle of Daeven there were traditional festivities similar to the one taking place.  The sight of younglings brought a soft smile to the fae’s lips as he reminisced about his brothers and sisters running through the fields along with cousins and other fairies.

Just as he turned his head to politely acknowledge one of the workers, one of the kids playing around accidentally ran into him nearly causing him to stumble over.  “So-so-sorry sir.”  A lot of the time, Leo was prone to losing his temper over little things, but today he smiled at the child.  “Please be more careful, go on now.”  He waved the child on and continued observing the setup for the Strawberry Festival.

Before he knew it, there was a wolf at his side sniffing at him and his blue eyes gazed down.  Leo was frozen for a moment, allowing the creature to get his scent and not wanting to make any sudden moves.

When he heard a woman’s voice calling to the wolf, he slowly walked towards her.  “Is this your beast?”  Leopold questioned, curious as to why she would bring a wild animal there. 

Embroidered Encounter || Leo&Bella

Lantern lighters still walked the market square in the trade district as night had only just descended upon the town, flourishes of flickering fire light cast various shapes and shadows across the faces of those working on differing elements of the faire, while others wandered shopping into the early evening. Bella herself was sat on a small stool by the stage being erected by various carpenters from around the town, her wolves watching as the shadows on the ground moved with each timber beam being lifted and hammered into place.

The vampire herself had some tarp beneath her stool, as many others seated nearby did, to prevent damage to the banners or other decorations they were making, and she was working on the banner that would hang above the strawberry field entrance, slowly embroidering a strawberry around the edge of the title to the location that she had sewn over prior evenings. The fabric itself seemed rich, in it's off white cream satin, reflecting as much light as those around did themselves, while the mere face it was being hand done indicated equally as much.

One of her wolves passing her the vampire's eyes raised from her work, their soft pale peridotite colouring trying to make sure they did not wander to far and frighten the others working. The wolf however, the younger of the two with it's courser brown fur that shifted as it wandered, did not concern himself with Bella's watchful gaze, inspecting those around until it smelt something familiar in a certain guest...the scent of home.

"Quilt," Bella called beneath her breath, pushing the needle she held into a scrap piece of fabric above her work so she did not lose it. His brother, or...Bella had decided they were brothers, moved towards her, his soft near black fur much smoother, watching the younger sniff at, what Bella could only assume, was one of the dignitaries. "Come," she insisted.

For all that she was connected to the animals though, they were still wild and she no longer had her Aasimar gifts that would have allowed for control, so instead the wolf continued to sniff at the slender male, attempting to nuzzle at his palm.

⊰ ♕ ⊱ ;

                      Las rosas giraron una vez más en su mano, un ligero movimiento de la muñeca para repetir la acción viciada que llevaba ejecutando hace varios minutos. Estaba nervioso, si, y la paranoica comenzaba a morderle la nuca con ferocidad.

Bajó del auto de un salto, analizó el pequeño ramillete una vez más. Le habría gustado algo más ornamentado pero sabía que Daeven lo prefería así, discreto. Se apoyó en la puerta esperando a que el más bajo saliera de su último turno, preparó su discurso mentalmente una vez más antes de ver la conocida silueta abandonando el bar.

---Te traje esto. ---Esgrimió el ramo frente al más bajo. ---También traje chocolate por si detestas las rosas.

daeven fancam! [video of him coughing up nuts and bolts because he tried to tell a lie in daanvi]

[chaoticdumbasshalforc]

My friend @freyrferret ‘s Firbolg druid, Daeven. He was good practice and I quite love him now. Though he’s capable of being a badass, he’s also gentle and nature loving so I hope I captured that. He was a joy to draw and broke me out of a mini art block. 

[werekxnglives]

"Thanks for the warning, the last thing anyone needs is for me to be high on catnip." Picking up another kebob he held it out for Stephen to take some more bites, yawning softly

@thelazyeditor

"Would you get the zoomies?" He asked though smiled when his beloved yawned. That was another question for another day, as he ate a few more bites of the kabob. Stephen himself had to at least eat one of the strawberry onigiri, thus he was surprised that he finished off two. "That's...."

"You're eating for two, Stephen. So it's only natural that you're hungrier than usual." Neville pointed out. He was though was glad to see that he ate more and with that, suggested that they go on to bed. "I don't have class til the afternoon so I'll be here when you two wake."

Nodding, Stephen didn't like leaving the dishes to Neville but he wasn't given much of a chance because the maroonette ushered for him to head on to bed. It reminded him of Alphonse in a sense, the elder man always taking care of him...

I hope that they are okay...and aren't with the Daevens.

Enemy: Ralnor Daeven

Stephen’s secret and ex-boyfriend.

Unlike the Faerens or those in their circle, Ralnor is a dark moon elf being one of the few born males with the lavender skin tone. He is the eldest son in his family, poised to take over. He was raised to take revenge on the Faerens and was left to do it however he pleased. 

Described as a combination of Disney villains Dr. Facilier and Scar, Ralnor is seen as Stephen’s foil. He had genuinely liked Stephen, maybe even having fallen in love while getting to know him throughout their relationship; unfortunately still chose revenge and used Stephen to do so. He did however make sure that the abuse was exposed to the world, wanting Druindar to pay for what he had done to Stephen.

He is methodical and said that if he had lived in the times of Sparta, he would have easily made it to general. And though not any better than Azula or the others, Ralnor ‘s abuse method on Stephen was through emotional manipulation and gas-lighting the other. Actions he does regret and hopes that in time, he may be forgiven. However, as he is rather toxic with his now wife, Azalea, it may not happen. 

Ralnor does employ the Faerens’ former servants including Alphonse and formerly Agatha, who passed away a few months after Stephen left New York due to heart failure. He later learned that Agatha had made a deal with the Celtic Gods that involved her trading her life for Stephen’s freedom. Since then, he takes it easy on Alphonse without Azalea noticing aware that the elder man may not have much longer to live. 

If Ralnor ever does run into Stephen, it will end with the death of Ralnor.
