like the day she’d been brought to the fae realm, lux’s senses were overwhelmed and she was alone. fear was no stranger to the former human, but stars was it simmering out of her at a pace she wasn’t even sure how to manage. the fates must have had the smallest pity on her, she woke in a bed that was not her own but at least she were not outside. slowly, the newly made fae her way out of the room, and her senses determined she were within a new palace. confusion climbed alongside her fear, and when she heard movement it was lucky her fire had not returned in full force. gasping, turning, lux places her hand over her heart to still the rhythm. “ what is this place ? ” // @ofcourtfablesarchive

lux was overwhelmed, and she didn’t quite know how to hide it perfectly. only five years as a fae, and she felt she had centuries of growth ahead of her. the pointed ears still shocked her when touched, and anytime she made fire it was both thrilling and terrifying. she’d been thrown into the cauldron and came out something else entirely, a mirror version of the human she was. a symbol of a broken treaty, something people detested. her best bet was to not seem different, but it was quite difficult when her senses were on overdrive in a new place. in her thoughts, the dreamer completely missed another’s voice, and blinked before glancing over. “ sorry, were you speaking ? i was a bit distracted by this incredible view. ” an excuse.

it was inevitable, seeing him again. lux knew the fae all too well, his face one that she was certain couldn’t be forgotten. instinctively, she reaches up to touch her ear tips, still finding herself surprised to find the points where once they were round. seeing him always made every memory she tried to get over surface, worsened by the state she was in with low magic and in brand new lands. for a moment, the redhead considers not saying a thing, but then a door slamming behind her causes her to jump and gasp lightly. covering her mouth, she bites her lip and looks back towards paris. “ hi. ” comes her soft voice. the wild and reckless human she was hiding beneath the fae scared in a new place. she hated it. // @unfaed

traipsing around the city she’d never seen wasn’t as hard as one might think, but the utter terror singing in her veins made lux feel as if she were standing out like a sore thumb. vibrant red hair, ears that were not always pointed, much of it was in her mind but it felt as if the world were screaming at her. stumbling through, lux was eager to find someone she knew, anyone. surely, she couldn’t be the only one here ? and that’s when her eyes find an illyrian impossible to miss, and like she’d run to her own siblings years prior, lux’s feet move swiftly before she launches herself at the other, arms around his neck. she had a million questions at once, but instead all that tumbled out was a slight whimper. “ i’m sorry, that was probably too much. ” she mutters as she slips down from him, realizing she probably shouldn’t have attacked a illyrian in a strange place. // @jadedblud

every event that lux visited made her remember home in both the most painful way and the best. her mind swam with images of such events at home, the mirror of fae and human celebrations so clear it was jarring. the dress she wore was even somewhat similar to what she would have worn at home, though far more revealing than her father would have allowed. the fae were less caring with such things, and lux embraced it fully. her gaze across the gardens is filled with emotions, but a noise makes her jump and reign it all in. “ high lord suho. ” she quickly greets, offering a small curtsy out of practice. “ apologies, you startled me. ”

magic was not something the made fae had much practice with, but she knew practice was important to honing the fire in her veins. already more than an average high fae, lux needed to learn control lest she accidentally burn another. her emotions were still wild and untamed, and that alone was a recipe for disaster. her breaths come slowly, eyes closed as her focus lies on her outstretched palms. a handful of times she’s been able to conjure up blue flame, and the redhead wishes to learn just how to do it on command. heat builds before her, and slowly her eyes part to see the normal vibrant red of her flames, as well as another looking upon her. a gasp slips from her lips in surprise, despite the fact that the fae before her is the one she’s known the longest, and fire reacts, flinging off into the air past him before she can stop it. “ paris ! ” comes the scolding and startled voice of the once human. “ i could have hurt you. ” even if he might have deserved it, she didn’t wish ill upon him now. // @unfaed

as the days passed, the former human was beginning to find more of her real self. hidden beneath fear, lux had made a vow that she refused to be that startled doe any longer. finding that her powers grew at a rate faster than normal fae seemed to help, yet another thing she attributed to the cauldron that made her. in truth, having her fire back at all seemed to do much for the redhead. as she toyed with a small amount around her fingertips, lux can’t help but grin at hudson. “ how are your shadows ? ” a genuine curiosity as she showed off. // @jadedblud

despite the time spent in dusk thus far, lux still felt as if she’d stepped into a dream masked as a nightmare. entranced by the unknown and the danger lurking in every corner, yet pulled back by the constant knowledge that she was clueless in this world. it was unsettling, the redhead feeling endlessly unbalanced. at least she no longer felt like a deer in the headlights. that is, she grew more annoyed and frustrated than fearful when she found yet another wrong turn had been made, effectively finding herself lost. spinning, she huffs, and glances to a figure moving in the hall near by. “ please tell me you know the way to the kitchens. ” for she did not, and she was starved. // @sparkledleaves

lux came into the world as alexandria lioncourt, a princess to her house and the youngest of 7 siblings. the girl never quite fit into all that, a reckless and wild heart that refused to be tamed with dresses and corsets. she was often atop roofs or in a tree rather than courting like her siblings. it drove her parents mad, but the youngest lioncourt was never punished.
she was a dreamer, always thinking there was more out there than simply marrying for her family and having children. it wasn’t that she didn’t ever dream of love, she just didn’t want a duty filled life. early on into her life she’d find friends outside of the nobility, and lux was born as a nickname for being the light of the group.
that dreaming head of hers never quite settled, though, and lex continued to believe there was more. well, that more would come when she met a fae, the embodiment of a creature she never expected to meet, but read plenty about. their relationship would border a romance in lux’s mind, but she never quite knew how he felt. this is definitely a grey area bc it is an open wc, but eventually this relationship would bring her to the cauldron and lux would be reborn again, shedding the name alexandria for good.
her introduction to life as a fae would be a rocky one. gone was the man who brought her to the cauldron, and in his place soon a mentor that would help her navigate. once fae found out she was formerly human things would be a mess, she was a symbol of broken rules and nobody liked that. but her personality and her kindness would move her places, and she eventually became a lady in waiting to the noble family of the autumn court. lux doesn’t think it’s the job she wants for the rest of her eternal life, but she does it well and her experience as a princess in the human realm comes in handy.
she’s still a wild and reckless spirit, as wild as the fire she controls and burning as bright as her namesake. lux is a vibrant person, a good friend to have, even if she hides the mess inside her mind at her whole world changing.

on main : fae that brought her to the cauldron, first fae friend
other ideas : tbh anything, she’s only been a fae for 5 years tho so def limited history

curled up near the rooms that held the high noble family of the autumn court felt like an alright place to be. lux didn't have anything to do, the lady she served was taking a nap or a stroll or something that she insisted lux not need to be around for. so here she sat, a cup of tea in hand awaiting for the other to pop back out or return. she saw plenty of people come and go, but ignored most of them until someone slowing drew her attention. " it's a pretty comfy bench, if you are wondering. "

" just when i was beginning not to be so afraid. " lux says in lui of greeting when the large illyrian of autumn sits beside her. she doesn't look at him, eyes slightly puffy from plenty of emotions bombarding her senses at once. it wasn't that she hid the evidence of her crying, she just wished not to make it so obvious.

lux wasn't entirely certain she wanted to pursue the priestess's ability to ease grief, but the thoughts of her family were so insistent that she began to consider it more seriously. the former human had so much on her mind these days, and she was craving any bit of relief. magic still made her hesitant, but it didn't hurt to ask, did it ? when her eyes find the woman in the halls, she sucks in a breath before approaching. " high priestess lysine ? "

the former human was all out of sorts, but not for the reasons most might think. the winged creature that flew through the fog hadn't jarred her as much as it should, and that in itself had lux jittery. why was she not afraid ? the idea that she could still be in shock was plausible, but deep down she didn't feel like that was the answer. hoping to clear her mind, the redhead went on a walk. when footsteps echo behind her, she's quick to spin, jumping a bit with a slight intake of breath. " stars, you frightened me. "

“ arwen ! ” lux greeted with a wide grin as she spotted the new friend she was making here in the capital. very few things had gone well while trapped, but befriending the seer from summer had been a pleasant surprise. lux getting along with her high lady was also shocking, and she hoped to visit the summer court to see both of them once all this was cleared up. hopefully that was sooner rather than later. “ look at you. ” her gaze takes in the other’s attire, absolutely perfect for her.

everything about lux may scream confidence, the perfect mask crafted from her years being raised as a princess. except none knew that was her history, other than the lord of spring that caught her gaze far more often than he should. lux glances down when his gaze turns her way, but she knows she’s been caught and whether she chooses it or not, her heels click as she moves towards the lord who broke her heart, even if he doesn’t know it. too bad the masks only do so much to obscure a face, cylas’s was one she memorized far too well not to notice. “ lord cylas. ” she greets softly, a small curtsy out of respect, acting as if they were perfect strangers.

the looming illyrian was impossible to miss, even if there were a few in attendance. lux could find her friend anywhere, and as she watches a drunkard prance between them and tumble on their own feet, she can’t help but catch his gaze and offer an amused face before slipping closer and linking their arms. “ you look quite dressed up tonight, trying to impress anyone ? ” teases the redhead.
