"*Next time, it would serve you well to think twice about threatening it to Master Mages.*"
―Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden[[The Court of Five Thrones, Chapter 10: Battlefields]]**Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden** is an Unseelie mouse shifter and a Master Mage who sought asylum from Gwyn ap Nudd after he became King of the Unseelie. She is the granddaughter of Fluri the Mouse-Maiden, has five living children, and lost one to illness. Gwyn promoted her to Court, and she served as a Mage advisor to him, and sometimes-healer for Augus Each Uisge and Ash Glashtyn, alongside Aleutia the Mouse-Maiden. Fenwrel became romantically involved with Gulvi Dubna Vajat, and Gwyn eventually promoted Fenwrel to his Inner Court. She became a temporary member of the Thirteen to hold King Oengus Og's position until another replacement could be found, and currently helps govern the fae realm alongside Gulvi in Gwyn's absence.

## Appearance

#### Status

* Inner Court
* Former:
	+ Court
	+ Underfae

When Gwyn first met her, she 'looked to be middle-aged, a round brown face that was composed but stern. Her straight, black hair was pulled back in a knot behind her head, hair resting behind small mouse ears. Her white sari was high quality, though it was not clean and bore signs of distress. Into an extra band of gilt fabric around her waist, a sorcerer’s staff was hooked.'

At one point during *The Court of Five Thrones*, Fenwrel wore 'black jeans and a red choli', with bare feet. She has mouse toes, and elegant hands and wrists, and keeps her claws filed. She is 'sturdily built . . . thickened with muscle and fat', and is aristocratic. Gwyn ap Nudd thinks Fenwrel smells like some kind of wood, which is possibly from her Mage's staff. She has black eyes. She is significantly shorter than Gwyn, Augus, and Gulvi.

During Gwyn's Debut as King of the Unseelie, Fenwrel 'wore a white sari with gold embroidery picked all the way over the edges. Her straight black hair was back in a chignon, gold earrings in her mouse ears and rings on her fingers. Her staff was tucked into the white belt that complimented her sari and she wore no shoes, but her mouse tail was gilt in rings.' Her staff is hooked.

Her Mage's motley is 'red, blue, and olive green.'

## Personality

Fenwrel is often described as graceful, and she is forthright, wise, manipulative, and canny, but also playful. Gulvi described Fenwrel as 'sturdy . . . made of fire', and 'a mountain [that] is secretly a volcano. Or not so secretly.' Like her grandmother, Fluri the Mouse-Maiden, Fenwrel seems to enjoy dancing.

She is also very motherly, whether to her own children, or unrelated fae, like Augus, Gwyn, and Mosk Manytrees. Gwyn noted that 'Fenwrel had a habit of treating them all as *children.* Gulvi was the one who tended to get angriest about it, but even Gwyn had taken Fenwrel aside a few times and talked to her about it. Fenwrel tended to have the peaceable rejoinder that if everyone in the Inner Court didn’t act so much like children in the first place, it wouldn’t be a problem.'

## Life

Fenwrel's home is in Kerala.

Like Fluri, Fenwrel trained at the School of the Staff and publicly advocated for Augus. Before Gwyn defeated Augus, Fenwrel's home was destroyed and Fenwrel was 'forced to flee'. Her youngest child 'perished from contagious illness.' After Gwyn became King of the Unseelie Court, Fenwrel went on a long pilgrimage to the Court to request asylum. She also requested the restoration of her family's status as Noble Court.

Gwyn promoted her to Court status. Fluri gave her magelight to the Court, in exchange for the promotion, as well as a charm of increase for the treasury, for the promotion of her family.

At Gwyn's Debut, Fenwrel worked to smooth over public opinion and explain that she wasn't against Augus as Gwyn's advisor, without being asked, because she wanted the Unseelie Court to succeed. Fenwrel worked for some time to gather her children, struggling the most with Yukti, who avoided Fenwrel's detection.

Gwyn requested that Fenwrel place a tracking spell on Augus, without Augus' knowledge, which she did, though she cautioned against it.

Augus later sought out Fenwrel's advice for more knowledge of meridians, and allowed Fenwrel to diagnose him. Fenwrel offered to unblock his blocked meridians, and advised him on further healing. She also agreed to teach him more about pressure points and meridians, in exchange for healing him at her own pace. She also offered to act as a confidante, at his leisure.

Fenwrel eventually gathered all her living children at the Unseelie Court, where Gwyn restored their Noble Court family status, and promoted all of her children to Court.

Fenwrel spent her time at the Unseelie Court browsing the library when she could.

When Augus was fatally injured while away from the Unseelie Court to fix the Blighted lands, Gwyn used Fenwrel's tracking spell to find him. Fenwrel advised Gwyn on preparing Augus for Aleutia's healing. At the time, she told Gwyn that Augus came to her in confidence about healing himself, and admitted that it is impossible to heal the underworlds pollution Augus suffers from. She worked together with Aleutia to heal Augus and Ash, and even banished Gwyn from the area when his energy impeded their efforts. When Augus and Ash died (temporarily), Gwyn and Gulvi returned. Gwyn became enraged, but Fenwrel sent them from the room using her magic. She later teleported to the pair to inform them that Augus and Ash were alive. She later noted to Gwyn that Augus' heartsong of balance was destabilized.

Fenwrel also noticed that Ash was suffering from a milder form of underworlds pollution. After Ash's temporary death, she advised that growing plants in his rooms was good for him.

Fenwrel, Aleutia, and Augus worked together to heal Augus' underworlds pollution (at least to mitigate it to some extent). After their first attempt, Aleutia left the pair alone, so they could talk about Augus' flashbacks.

Around this time, Gulvi returned from an assassination attempt heavily injured to meet with Gwyn about her results. Fenwrel arrived, heavily distraught, having used a tracking spell she and Gulvi had agreed to previously. She then proceeded to, presumably, lecture Gulvi about it. It was clear to even Gwyn at this point that the pair were in a deeper relationship. Fenwrel later discussed their relationship with Augus, and Augus discovered the Fenwrel was definitely *interested* in Gulvi.

When Gwyn kicked Augus out of the Unseelie Court palace, Fenwrel consulted with Gwyn, questioning whether he knew how much he was playing with Augus. Gwyn took the opportunity to ask if she stayed in the Court to keep an eye on Davix. Fenwrel reiterated that she was in the Court for the original reasons she'd arrived, as well as keeping an eye on Davix, as Davix had somewhat defected from the Thirteen, and seemed central to things that were going wrong in the world. Fenwrel also revealed that although she was not one of the Thirteen, she was still 'valuable' to the School of the Staff. Both Fenwrel and Gwyn stood their ground against each other, refusing to reveal all, but they both were somewhat satisfied with what they get out of the conversation.

Fenwrel visited Augus and looked him over in his mini exile. She noted that she could tell he was fragile, because she was the same.

Gwyn and Augus later consulted with Fenwrel over the charm Augus used to track the Raven Prince. With their permission, she took the artefact to the Thirteen for study.

When Davix destroyed the Old Lore, Gwyn consulted with Fenwrel. He demanded to know what the Oak King and the Raven Prince fled their roles for, since he knew it wasn't the Nightingale. Fenwrel explained that Mages led the Nightingale to the underworlds, and that Mages are never as separate from the affairs of the world as they say they are. She also tried to obtain information from him about the Coalition of the Classless.

Fenwrel later found Augus after one of his flashbacks, and offered to escort him to her rooms for rest. She advised him to spend more time away from the Unseelie Court, for his own health. Augus figured out that she had indeed been looking for him, and didn't just happen upon him. Fenwrel revealed that he wasn't 'quite a student and not quite a patient but somewhere in that' and she had 'a duty of care' for him.

Fenwrel later assisted Gwyn during battle, using illusions to cloak mines, and restoring Gwyn's light to him briefly when it was taken. She again used her illusions to help during combat when the Seelie circled the Unseelie Court.

Fenwrel attended the last Wild Hunt. She helped Ifir in restraining Prince Vane. When Gwyn left for the Caves of Argoth, she reassured Augus of his location, as Gwyn also had a tracking spell on him. After Gwyn returned, he asked Fenwrel to join his Inner Court 'in the capacity of Court Mage and Magistrate, and Court Caretaker.' Fenwrel accepted without hesitation, and Gwyn promoted her to Inner Court. Gulvi advised Gwyn to let Fenwrel make the announcement about what happened with Mikkel, which Gwyn hesitantly agreed to. Fenwrel explained the story, not keeping the mothersbane poison a secret.

Fenwrel later accompanied Gwyn and the rest of the Inner Court to the Coalition of the Classless. Later, while Gwyn and Gulvi were talking, Gwyn asked if Fenwrel and Gulvi were happy together, and Gulvi said they were.

When Eran Iliakambar brought Mosk to the Unseelie Court, Gwyn asked Fenwrel to discover what curse or geas was at play on Mosk. She was shocked to discover that Mosk's heartsong had been taken, and stated that it could only be the work of Olphix and/or Davix. She was sympathetic to Mosk's numerous hardships, and also noted that Mosk's feeding teeth were taken. When Fenwrel attempted to remove the curse on Mosk, the resulting power backlash knocked her some distance away, but she was almost entirely unharmed, save for a few loosened strands of hair. Gwyn ordered Fenwrel to mute Eran's powers, to stop him from hurting Mosk, which Fenwrel easily did by placing a geas on him.

Fenwrel later visited Mosk and Eran in their cell, principally to check up on Mosk, and bring him food. She advised Mosk that it was likely his heartsong would grow back, and that his meridians were sickened.

Eran still spoke down to her, and Fenwrel responded with stern precision that Eran was unnecessary to whatever was happening, and that Eran was 'cruel and untrustworthy'. She also emphasized that she was lowering herself to speak to him, particularly given he had no wealth or power to his name now that his parents were dead, no future without a clan to become chieftain of, and that he was still a child. When Eran continued to talk back disrespectfully, she temporarily took away his voice.

Fenwrel later guided them both out of the dungeons, taking them to the armory, where Eran was allowed to retrieve his kh'anzar, and select a dagger, and Mosk refused to take a weapon. At the Unseelie Court strategy meeting, Fenwrel theorized that something had gone wrong with Olphix and Davix's plan, given Mosk's state and how Olphix was in hiding and Davix refused to see anyone about the ice plague.

When King Oengus Og broke through Olphix's spell on fae communication to contact the Unseelie Court, Fenwrel created a portal that allowed Gulvi, Ash, Julvia Dubna Vajat, and Fenwrel to travel to Oengus' tower. Her party consulted with Gwyn's, to discover what they'd learned. Gulvi revealed the Unseelie Court had been combating magical incursions. While talking to Eran and Mosk in private, she theorized that Olphix made the Aur forest sick to bring about the debt with Amaley and Imshiel Manytrees to obtain a seventh son of a seventh son.

Fenwrel and Gulvi eventually returned to the Unseelie Court, to continue defending it. When Gwyn's party was traveling in Zhitovar to confront Olphix, Fenwrel and Gulvi arrived to join them in the final battle. Taronis revealed that Fenwrel was a temporary member of the thirteen, until Oengus Og could be replaced.

She joined Gwyn's party around Eran's fire before the battle with Olphix. Mosk noted that she 'apologised to Eran for cursing him all that time ago, asking him genuinely and kindly if he was faring well, and if there was anything she could do to help him and his people who remained in the desert. That was all it took for Eran and Fenwrel to begin chatting about the desert in general, and Fenwrel’s wistful yearning to see jungles more often.'

During the battle with Olphix, Fenwrel went with Taronis to offer Mosk their magic. Fenwrel and Taronis later portalled away.

After the battle, Fenwrel and Gulvi transported Gwyn's bones away, and Fenwrel spent the next nine years helping Gulvi govern the fae realm in Gwyn's absence. She watched over Gwyn's body while he recovered, and had the idea for Augus to come and talk to him, but respected Augus' emotional state, and Gulvi went to visit Augus in her place, but was rejected. Two years after the battle with Olphix, Augus visited Gwyn's unconscious body at the Court, and ended up yelling at him, until Fenwrel dragged him away. They talked about Augus' pain and frustration. Fenwrel asked him to stay, as she'd missed him and hadn't seen him in years.

She continued to watch over Gwyn while his body and eventually mind recovered, until he left the Unseelie Court to travel more.

She rules alongside Queen Gulvi as Gulvi's consort.

## Special Abilities

### Magical Abilities

**Meridians:** Fenwrel is a Master Mage 'at meridian manipulation - which includes pressure point combat and healing, along with the blocking and release of powers and abilities by manipulating those pressure points.' Augus noted that Fenwrel's meridian manipulation is gentler than her grandmother's.

**Various forms of magic mastery:** She is also 'a well-versed illusionist and experienced in charms and counter-charms and spells of increase and decrease.' She can also 'work the magelight', create portals, take someone's language, cast geas, and quell the magical abilities of others. She can also use compulsions. She can also link energy.

## Relationships

#### Aleutia the Rat-Maiden

Aleutia and Fenwrel seem to get along and enjoy each other's company, to the point of taking tea together, and they have worked together at least twice.

#### Ash Glashtyn

It's unclear how close Ash and Fenwrel are, given they work together as Inner Court, both reside in the Unseelie Court, are both close with Gulvi, and Fenwrel helped save Ash's life, but 'as far as Fenwrel knew, Ash had not only given [Fenwrel and Gulvi] his blessing, but was actively, enthusiastically encouraging. It turned out that Ash believed the same as Fenwrel; that Gulvi was still capable of love. It may not be the core love that a swan maiden gives to a single other, but love existed all the same.'

#### Augus Each Uisge

Fenwrel reminded Augus of Fluri, in her grace. He even considered that 'in another lifetime . . . he would have liked her as a client.' Fenwrel noted to Augus that she was aware of the energy between them, but both acknowledged that they have no interest in pursuing it beyond platonic friendship and that of a healer and patient. Although Augus has attempted to intimidate her, she has not fallen for it, even when she was underfae while he was Inner Court, and later as Court. Fenwrel compared Augus to Suvidh, in that they both went through something greatly traumatic and have worked hard to remove it. She is also encouraging of Augus' recovery, and wishes to meet who he was before he was poisoned. The two are friends, and Fenwrel often advises him, and they've both admitted to liking each other. Fenwrel also gave up 50 years of her lifespan to heal Augus when he temporarily died.

#### Eran Iliakambar

Fenwrel has been kind to Eran on multiple occasions, but is quick to put him in his place. Eran is terrified of the power she possesses, and was deeply traumatized by her muting his fire. Fenwrel also acknowledged his abilities, and knows he is strong, and carrying a difficult burden of his own. She said that Eran is a 'good, if foolish man.' They seemed to reconcile a bit before the battle with Olphix.

#### Fenwrel's husband

One of the few things known about the father of Fenwrel's children/her husband (assuming they were the same person) is that Fenwrel noted that he wasn't brave, at least in the way that Gulvi is in regard to relationships. Fenwrel loved him.

#### Fluri the Mouse-Maiden

Fenwrel consulted with her grandmother after Fluri advocated for Augus, and agreed with Fluri's assessment that Augus was sick rather than evil, which led to Fenwrel's advocacy for him, as well.

#### Gulvi Dubna Vajat

Fenwrel initially distrusted Gulvi, as Gulvi is an assassin, and an assassin murdered Fenwrel's grandmother. Over time, the pair started to interact more, and became romantic partners.

#### Gwyn ap Nudd

Fenwrel told Gwyn that being 'disowned' did not take his name away. Gwyn is envious of her skills and grace. He initially distrusted her, on the grounds of her being Unseelie, but over time, they grew into being friends, to the point that Gwyn appointed her Inner Court and Court Mage. She also enchanted Mikkel's cord for Gwyn so that the leather would never fall apart.

#### Mosk Manytrees

Fenwrel is very sympathetic to Mosk, and often attempted to comfort and support him. Mosk was initially unsure of how to deal with her, but came to hate her for her use of magic as a Mage.

#### King Oengus Og

Oengus was one of Fenwrel's teachers, and she seems to have some deep fondness for him, which was mutual.

#### Suvidh

Since Augus reminds Fenwrel of Suvidh, and she treats him maternally as a result, it seems that Fenwrel worries about Suvidh because of what happened to him, and the burdens he bears. Like her other children, Fenwrel noted that even if she disinherited her children, they would still be her children.

#### Uday, Vilasini, and Zrimat

Fenwrel noted that even if she disinherited her children, they would still be her children.

#### Yukti

Fenwrel admitted she is proud and frustrated with Yukti's evasive abilities. Yukti cares for her mother, and brings out the 'joy and fire in Fenwrel.'

## Quotations

* 'Well, Each Uisge,’ Fenwrel said, without turning around, ‘my grandmother also said that you take offense at every little thing.'
* To Augus: 'Yes! That’s what I am! And there’s a lot of us! We could take you down. So don’t you mouse me. You need allies, Each Uisge. Don’t lose the ones you have.'
* To Gwyn: 'As to your name? You are what you are. I could disinherit my children but they will still be ‘Zrimat, son of Fenwrel; Uday, son of Fenwrel,’ and so on.'
* 'I’m Court status again . . . Fifty years sounds like a lot, but it was willingly given.'
* To Augus: 'I think you’re a wounded, damaged creature. I think you were groomed by the Raven Prince to be a pet in the Court, because you’re quite lovely to look at, and the Raven Prince came to see the sharp mind behind that and appreciated you all the more. I think the Nightingale was covetous and jealous, since he has always been a collector of fine things – all the more to break them – and I think it’s telling that the Unseelie Court never looked for you while you were gone. I think you were someone who was kind towards the people who you thought deserved your kindness – enough that you considered working as a healer, which Aleutia has told me you’ve said. And I think you were someone who was sharp, insightful, fussy, proud and content. I think you found something that many fae still search for. Now? Now I think you are suffering. You are no longer proud of yourself. The only thing you have ever admitted any measure of pride towards – around me – is your ability to not eat and drink for a long time while captive. Are you not proud of becoming King when no one has figured out how? No. And are you not proud of the common work you are doing? The assistance you offer to Gwyn and the others when you are struggling? No.'
* 'Gulvi gave her heart to Ash,’ Fenwrel said, sighing. ‘And she seems to think that it means that’s that, life is done for her. I know some swan maidens have pined away after their lovers have died, but some haven’t, and some go on to find…but she won’t listen to me. Which would be fine, I suppose, except she also won’t leave me alone. She has a habit of just…turning up. Usually when I’m trying to sleep. She has no sleeping pattern, and I’m quite sure she finds the most aggravating times to turn up on my doorstep.'
* 'There’s no…quota on Unseelie-ness, Augus. We are what we are because of our appetites, and not because of anything else. I know it’s been popularised that the worst of us are the most Unseelie of all, but by and large, I think that’s utter bullshit, to borrow from Gulvi’s crassness. Otherwise, how did swans and mice end up as Unseelie fae? People put too much stock in alignments.'
* 'Do you believe that there are only the Thirteen Deans and Principals, and that no other Mage is of any consequence to the School?’ Fenwrel smiled and managed to make Gwyn feel like he was six years old all over again. ‘Gwyn, I am valuable to the School of the Staff. Because I can sense when things are going awry. Because that is what I feed upon. I know when the world trips down a dangerous path, because I become more powerful.'
* 'No one expects a short mouse-maiden – even one who carries a staff – to be…what I am'
* 'Politeness is not determined nor predicated on class,’ Fenwrel said crisply. ‘Nor is it earned through another person’s actions. It is a way I choose to conduct myself.'
* 'The Nightingale is a- He is like a thread that runs through a tapestry. An important thread, but not the greater picture. Gwyn, who led the Nightingale to all that magic that allowed him to enter the underworlds in the first place? Mages.’
* 'You are lucky I lower myself to talk to you at all,’ Fenwrel said. ‘Consider your fortunes, Eran Iliakambar, and consider them well. Your family have died. You have no wealth to access and your name no longer carries any value except to those who held your mother or father in high esteem, yet you slander us when you meet us, not even knowing who we might be. You cannot be a chieftain in training, when there is nothing to rule over. . . . You are not our equal,’ Fenwrel continued. ‘You are a child. Perhaps you count yourself an adult by the turning of your years, but your two centuries of gallivanting about in the desert to your heart’s content, feeding upon the fatted riches of your parents while contributing little yourself, are over. A Mage brought you to this boy, who has also lost everything – more than you could imagine – and you determined to place him in iron, starve him further, drag him before his other captor. . . . My Grandmother was Fluri the mouse-maiden,’ Fenwrel said. ‘She studied with the Raven Prince, who mastered all magic to do with language and the killing of it. If you cannot speak to an elder with more respect, you will not speak at all.’
* To Eran: 'You should know the nature of Fenwrel’s geas that she placed upon you when she dampened your fire,’ the Traitor King said. ‘If Mosk dies, you will encounter mortal peril. If he sickens terribly, you will too. The spell behaves as a soul-bond, except that once you fulfil the requirements of the geas, the spell will lift.'
* To Eran: 'Fire makes great leaps, at times . . . A spark flying up a chimney, a flame searching for something more. It’s of no surprise to me that this insight has come from you.'
* 'Gulvi, sometimes things come to an end.'
* ‘It’s enough, isn’t it?’ Fenwrel said. ‘I don’t need to own your heart, Gulvi. You owe me nothing.’
* 'Fenwrel would love no one else as she had loved her husband, and she would love no one else as she loved each of her children. She did not need what Gulvi had set aside for Ash.'
* To Eran: 'I wish we had done more,’ Fenwrel said. ‘I think we never wanted to confront that they had become so powerful we could do nothing against them. For most of my life, I have explained away evil actions by saying that we can do nothing. But I’m not sure we tried.'
* To Eran: ‘Gwyn has found miracles before, he may find them again, but if Gwyn faced Olphix across a battlefield today, *he would die.* Do you know what happened at the battle at the Unseelie Court, when Albion brought his Seelie army? I was there. Gwyn faced Albion, and Davix – playfully and sweetly – came and quenched Gwyn’s powers with nothing more than a wave of his hand. Then Albion set his salt water into Gwyn’s lungs, and Gwyn – incapacitated and drowning – would have *died* if I had not been there to return Gwyn’s powers to him. And I could only return them for *minutes.* I am no weak Mage. That was *easy* magic for Davix. That was *nothing.* The first thing Olphix would do to you is take all of your powers, all of your fire, *worse* than what I did to you, and then he would nudge you out of existence like a person squashes a bug with their thumb.’
* 'I want to be useful. My grandmother did amazing things while she was here. I want to achieve amazing things.'
* 'I am trained as a Mage and I do respond to threats against my person. Also, compel me to heal you, and what should I do? Remove all your darkness at once so that all the toxins rise to the surface? Do you have any idea how sick you would truly become? You would not be able to function. You would likely not survive it. I have seen good lakes – flourishing lakes – turn the land around them to dust once their inner poisons had been stirred. And you understand that, deep down. As it is, I don’t know what removing even the smallest amount of this darkness will do.'
* 'You said, ‘Do you seek to take that from me too?’ As though your acts of evil are the last bastion of yourself that you have to hang onto. As though everything else has already been lost to you. I don’t know if that’s true, this is only speculation, but…you might want to consider how many evil acts you were doing – outside of hunting and feeding – before you met the Nightingale. For all reports say that you were a calm, quiet, introverted thing who cared for healing and his brother. . . . I think you need to learn the distinction between compassion and pity. And do not mistake me, young man; your actions are still your own. But there are some of us who must spill our poisons out where the world can see them, because they cannot contain them all within. It’s not healthy, but it is understandable.'
* 'They can get as many Mages as they like,’ Fenwrel said quietly, ‘but I’m operating from within the Unseelie Court, and if magical attacks could push past these boundaries, they would have by now. They cannot do anything. This does feel good.'

## Trivia

* When Fenwrel begged for asylum, she said 'My grandmother, her surviving children and my... my sons and daughters', implying that Fenwrel has/had siblings.
* It's possible that Fenwrel is older than Augus. Or she simply acts that way.
* Fenwrel stated that she works with energy meridians - to help heal people with it - because it is part of how she feeds.
* Fenwrel's throne is made of 'deep red wood with orange cushioning, cobalt blue contrasting threads . . . designed for comfort and class.'
* Fenwrel cast a tracking spell on Gwyn at some point.
* Not-Poignant noted in an ask on their Not-Poignant tumblr that Fenwrel's heartsong is Direction, which would align with her appetite. But this hasn't been mentioned directly in canon.
