Wynne Snowdrop, more commonly known as the Grand Mistress of the Grey Hunt, is an archfey who leads the Grey Hunt and rules over the domain Mistry Vale.

## Appearance

The Grand Mistress appears as a tall, mysterious archfey wrapped up in a dark blue cloak, with most of her face covered and her hair hidden under a dark hat. She typically leaves one glowing blue eye visible. Her other eye is dark violet.

As a powerful archfey, the Grand Mistress can shift her form as she sees fit. She most often takes the form of a centaur with a brown-spotted white horse body. She takes on an elfish appearance whenever she must be in a place that is not built for the bulk of a centaur.

## Personality

The Grand Mistress is mysterious and powerful. She is known to be antisocial and rarely attends fey social gatherings herself, often sending her lieutenants in her stead. When she does appear to other fey, she commands their respect and attention. She is a woman of a few words.

The Grand Mistress believes in using great power responsibly and loathes those who take advantage of others. Her justice and vengeance are swift and complete.

## Biography

Wynne is a daughter of the Unseelie Queen from before she was married to the Unseelie King. Wynne spent most of her young adulthood in the Wild Hunt, learning how to hunt, brave the wilds of the Feywild, and travel the planes.

In Wynne's day, the archfeys of the Feywild were largely arrogant and cruel and saw mortals as their playthings. Maybe of them would lure hapless mortals into the Feywild, capture them, and trap them in their domains. Wynne thought this practice barbaric and morally reprehensible, so she gathered like-minded fey from the Wild Hunt and a few courts and founded the Grey Hunt.

The Grand Mistress and the rest of the Grey Hunt roamed the Feywild, sealing up wild portals, thwarting kidnappings, and freeing mortals from their captors. In order to help the time-displaced mortals, the Grand Mistress commissioned the creation of feyclocks to help calibrate how much time passed in the Material Plane for them to a more manageable size.

Eventually, Delyth, the Grand Mistress's half-sister, approached her and asked for her help in seizing the Planar Ridges from the Night Court. The Grand Mistress led the Grey Hunt against the Dark King, the lord of the Night Court, and his army, forcing most of the army to flee. While Delyth defended the Planar Ridges from the counterassault, the Grand Mistress challenged the Dark King to a duel to the death, which she won. The Dark King's heir surrendered to the Grand Mistress. The Grand Mistress and Delyth solidified their position as powerful archfeys and leaders of a new court, the Shrouded Court.

The Grand Mistress helped Elenore Seelie Valeburn fight off the Prince of Frost's Wintertouched servants and supported her ascension to the Warqueen of the Burning Vale. By this time, the Grand Mistress had become so powerful and influential that even the Seelie Queen did not wish to invite her wrath.
