also more codelyokoposting but I really really dig XANA as a villain. It's not a person with a complex background that led them down the path of evil, it's not a morally grey character you sympathize with but condemn. It's a powerful AI capable of controlling almost anything in the real world. It doesn't have a face or a body, we only know it for its symbol and for the monsters it controls in the virtual world. It's willing not just to kill people through various methods (poisoning, drowning, car crash, fucking space lasers too?) but also Earth as a whole (it tried to blow up a NUCLEAR PLANT and crash two trains with toxic chemicals in them). And we don't even know why it does this, at least not for now. It may not even have a particular reason, just some sort of virus or malware in the form of an AI that seeks nothing but destruction without any goals in mind. This "pure evil" characteristic doesn't come off as childish, like in some children cartoons, it's just kind of scary to think that such an incomprehensible and destructive force exists, almost feels like a natural disaster

So, I've been perusing the Good Society rules as written, and there's a very interesting thing regarding the roles of the player characters---what informs their situation, what explains their actions, what society sees them as. And while it's understandable that A Court of Fey and Flowers didn't include this, since it does kind of butt up against the fact that they're doing a hack of Good Society and regular D&D, I figured I'd try to pin down the roles that the PCs would've chosen had it just been a played-straight game...

Andhera: Without question, he is the Heir. He's a prince, he's eligible due to both his title and his wealth, but he's also bogged down by insane familial expectations. Pretty simple designation.

Hob: The Careerist is the one that fits him the most, what with him being both a military man and someone who actively works. This is a role that's very much inspired by Colonel Brandon, and seeing as Brennan absolutely put a lot of him into Hob (which we're all grateful for), I think this one is a safe bet.

Binx: Undoubtedly, she's the New Arrival---the mysterious individual who might have come back to society after a long time away or might very well be brand new, but they're clearly here to shake things up. Not very much is known about her, and she's going to use that to her advantage.

Rue: Honestly, they're the trickiest to pin down, but I think the Socialite is a decent fit---they do socialize with a goal in mind, and they do have quite a bit of secrets hidden under that shiny exterior. You could also argue that they're the Dependent, specifically of the Court of Wonder, but Socialite works better.

The Lords of the Wing: I'm grouping them together because, let's be real, they both kind of fulfill the same role of "I am the character who has a BAD REPUTATION and is STIRRING UP SHIT and EVERYONE EITHER HATES ME OR LOVES ME" (which is, of course, a joy and a delight to watch, and the season wouldn't have been the same without their antics). However, they're definitely different kinds of troublesome characters, and I'd argue that Chirp is the one who has the smarts, schemes, and follow-through to earn her the role of the Meddler (very Emma-Woodhouse coded!), while Squak's slutty, impulsive chaos is very much Hedonist behavior. And really, those are two roles you need to have some good old-fashioned Regency hijinks.

sending childe—a notoriously impatient man—on an impossible scavenger hunt as a way to stave off his advances (since he won’t take “no” for an answer). you tell him that if he can complete it within a day’s time, he can court you.
