Amelie the Little Fairy

The smallest of the fairies within the Fairy Wing Forest, Amelie is somewhat of a puzzle. Born a fairy but raised a human, she bridges the gap between two worlds.

## History

When Amelie was a newborn fairy, her family went on a long journey. They got lost in a storm, and the little fairy was dropped, landing in a flowerpot. Cold and along, the young fairy cried, and her call was answered by the human woman whose doorstep she was dropped on; a kind storyteller named Berthe. The woman had no children of her own, but offered the lost fairy her home without a moment's hesitation, and the two instantly became as close as any mother and child. The little fairy was named Amelie, which was French for 'hard work', as she was quite a handful as she grew up.

Although she was happy in the mortal world, the little girl was always different from the other children in the village. She had a certain wildness about her, and sometimes things would happen that nobody could explain. For a while, the storyteller tried to keep her daughter's powers, and origins, a secret, as she knew that there were many people who would look at Amelie not as a gift, but as a curse; a changeling child sent to wreak havoc in the mortal realm. Eventually, Berthe knew she would have to tell Amelie the truth about who she was, and let the child return to her own people.

The little fairy was excited to see the world where her life had began, and experience what could have been. However, Amelie was not willing to give up the only home, or family, she had known. She went to the fairy court, and demanded that she be allowed to bring the storyteller with her. She argued that since Mistress Berthe had knowingly raised a faerie child, cherishing and nurturing her when other mortals would have just as easily left her to die, the courts owed her a debt. And faeries never leave a debt unpaid. For this, Mistress Berthe was granted the ability to pass between the mortal and fae realms, ensuring that both the storyteller and her little fairy could bring joy to children for generations.

## Appearance

    Taken at face value, Amelie looks like any normal human child. She has a happy, rosy complexion, and short brown hair that reaches about to her shoulders. She does not posses the glamours to drastically alter her shape or features yet, so she looks relatively normal next to some of her more experienced peers. She has, however, learned to jump between looking more like a fairy or more like a human girl, using her fairy abilities to cloak her wings, and her human knowledge to find clothing that will suit her disguises.

### Fairy Form

In Amelie's fairy form, she still looks much like a normal human girl, though her happy smile may hold a bit more secretive mischief. Her wings are relatively small, certainly not big enough to carry her for long periods of time. They resemble maple leaves, which implies that she is most likely the type of fairy whose talents will thrive in the Fall, similar to Autumn. Her fairy dress is made of soft orange leaves and petals, which she decorates frequently. Beneath her dress she usually wears white tights with bright yellow sunflowers adorning the knees, and when it is chilly she will also wear a long sleeved brown chemise and a short black cloak.

### Human Form

On the occasion that Amelie chooses to look more like a human, she hides her wings with cloaking spells. She also trades her vibrant orange leaf dress for the garb of a simple village girl, wearing instead a white chemise and a red dress. Her other attire, however, such as her flat black shoes or short cloak, never change, as they are things she brought from the human realm.

## Personality

Amelie the little fairy is, as her name suggests, the youngest fairy in the Fairy Wing Forest. As one might expect from a child of any species, she is still figuring herself out, though she has the added challenge of being influenced by both the magical and mortal realm. On the whole, the little fairy is both curious and clever, though she can also be very shy, and untrusting of newcomers. Usually the curious side of her will win out, and she will reveal herself and begin pestering people with questions.

## Relationships

#### Berthe: Adoptive Mother

Even though Amelie has become very aware of her true fairy heritage, she remains incredibly close to her human mother. Amelie has gifted her mother with the ability to see and understand all fairy kind, and in return she still gets the same love and affection that she received as a baby.
