Jillian O'Leary

## Jillie O'Leary

Jillie's original skin

Jillian O'Leary is a beekeeper and librarian in Thelessa, Prominance. They are played by Jillian Wynn.

They arrived May 7th and was invited by Jök Es to Coldandria. Disappointed by the living conditions, they explored both Khen Faruhm (capital of Dhun Burimm) and Thelessa (capital of Prominance). Jillie found the protective walls, already-sizeable population of Thelessaa, and the kindness of leader Tyro Fairheart to be comforting. They took up residence in what they called "a shitty fucking hostel" near the sept. While Jillian generally moves from city to city, they have built and taken up a permanent residence in Prominance. They started a large farm and began breeding bees, showing no sign of moving away.

They are on good-neutral terms with almost everyone, previously worked as a contractor on Khen Faruhm supporting the Pit. They recently left to help the Sanctuary.

They frequently welcome and give tours to new members.

## Past

### Childhood

Jillian (real name Juniper Deirdre) was raised by faeries in the fae realm. They are mixed race: part dryad, part faery, and part human. Their human genetics make them susceptible to faery glamour and enchantments, which often made then victim to abuse from full fae. Their parents are unknown. They spent their childhood riding, playing with, and caring for bees and other insects.

### Running Away

Juniper fled from the Flora Guild in the Fae realm after they intentionally skipped their sect's "neophyte baptism" in order to go to a glade bordering the Natural World. Juniper is quickly found by the greatly angered acolytes and escapes by fleeing into the Natural World alongside Poppy Medb. The two lose track of each other. Afraid of being discovered, Juniper changes their name and adopts their new trademark cloak: a hood to cover their ears, and a cape to cover their wings. While they previously wore predominantly yellow, they began wearing red to honour Poppy - red being Poppy Medb's token colour. They took the last name "O'Leary" after a name carved in a tree in the glade: "Saoirse O'Leary".

### Repercussions

Due to not being baptized, Juniper does not have full access to fae powers, thus limiting them heavily.

## Life in Arathia

### Arrival

Jillie's arrival was mostly exploration based, with them looking around and finding materials for others. This included clay for Thelessa's walls and mining the Pit for Ember, even smelting smooth stone for them. They also tamed cats and wolves, discovering that cats scare away phantoms.

Almost immediately Jök Es reveals that they are good at combat despite it being intended to stay secret.

#### Coldandria

Jillie is offered a place to live in Coldandria, but turns it down, referencing the lack of defence and small population, and later expressed irritation at the lesbophobia in the culture.

#### Thelessa

Jillie admires Thelessa as Tyro shows it to them. They are impressed by the walls and the community, and the space around in which they build their house.

### Settling In

As O'Leary begins to build their house, they continue to do favours for those around them. They do these for free, either out of kindness or due to their fae sect not using money.

This kindness may relate to their previous desire to become a doctor.

### Declaration of Normalcy

Jillie begins more and more to announce that they are a perfectly normal human, seeming to suddenly worry about their discovery for no identifiable reason. This is taken as a joke by those around them, and they lightly try to follow that while still affirming their humanity.
