Absinthe (Trouble)

## History

Nobody is entirely sure where Absinthe came from, nor exactly what sort of fairy she is. Over the years, her appearance has varied greatly, ranging from nearly human to an assortment of animals, including a crow, a raven, and most famously an opossum.

For a while, Absinthe served as a jester to the royalty within Petit Lyon. How exactly she got this job is yet another mystery. Stories vary from finding her stuck in a tree to her rolling out of a trash bin. Or perhaps she was merely a hitchhiker whose odd mannerisms amused the king enough that he picked them up, and has since been unable to get rid of them. Others even guessed that she might be some kind of odd hallucination, leading to the name of Absinthe being used, as she vaguely resembled the troublesome green fairy many would speak of. More commonly, however, the jester is simply called Trouble. Most will tell you that this nickname began as everyone would say "oh here comes trouble" and the name simply stuck.

Eventually, Absinthe grew tired of being a jester. She, along with her new spouse Sebastien Corgistone, ran away together. Nobody really knows where they went.

## Description

### Appearance

#### Classic aka "Human"

Absinthe lives up to her name, being a small, pale skinned creature dressed in almost entirely green. She wears green shirts and dresses, as well as an assortment of multi-colored corsets. She is almost always seen wearing an overpacked belt on which she hangs multiple animal tails, as well as pouches and mugs.

Absinthe decorates her face in many different makeup styles, most of which involve some glitter. She has also been known to paint her face to emphasize performances, such as giving herself smiles or frowns.

During her first appearance at the festival, she sported shoulder length red hair. For her second season, however, her hair was much shorter, and most of the time remained covered by a brown hat.

#### Possum

The possum was a strange combination of man and beast. Absinthe was remarkable recognizable in her animal form, sporting the same shaved head and short stature. However, she had grown a pair of grey and black ears, as well as a possum-like muzzle and whiskers. The majority of the possum features were revealed in behavior, as she frequently was startled into playing dead, and began to communicate in small yowls and screeches.

#### Raven/Crow

This is perhaps one of Absinthe's most dramatic transformations. Her green attire is replaced with a long black dress, which transforms into feathers around the edges. Her sparkly green eye makeup becomes much darker, usually purple, blue, or black.

### Personality

Absinthe Bliss has a personality that is as hard to pin down as her history. Most of the time she is very low energy, having the demeanor of a cat who has not quite woken up from a nap. At other times, however, she can be fairly personable. She enjoys mischief making and entertainment, especially when it means she can make strange noises.

## Relationships

#### Sebastien Corgistone: Spouse

Following a season of awkward flirting and strange friendship, Absinthe and Sebastien took temporary marriage vows, which were bound by the Papal Pirate. Nobody, not even Sebastien, is sure whether or not Absinthe realized which twin she was getting married to, nor if she really cared.
