Pippa

Pippalamoiya ( Pippa/Pipp) was the Archivist to the Spring Court with a passion for history and knowledge. She was tasked with filling in holes left in their archives after some anomalies arose. The Spring Court Archive was Pippa's life's work. She organized and complied the records in a way that would have made them easily accessible for future generations to read and know the truth of the past to learn and grow from. Pippa was stolen away by the Winter Court during a peacekeeping trip exchange records. It was widely accepted that she was dead until people began to rapidly forget her.

## History

Pippa grew up in a Middle Court family that was tasked with assisting the noble families of the high court. Growing up, Pippa began to show a gift for writing and her poetry was a grand treat at many gatherings. Her parents were rigid in their beliefs of court values and somewhat distant in their nature. While they were never cruel, their expectations for their daughter were to carry on the family duties, get married and have children. She never felt much warmth from them but still loved her parents.

As she grew older, Pippa's talents in writing were noticed by the High Court. She began to apprentice for the record keepers in the royal library which got her quite close to members of the high court. Pippa's charm and smile, won her points with many nobles who wished to have their own history recorded and added to the archives. Soon enough Pippa became head of the archives and reworked the system in a way that was easier to organize and understand for the masses.

While working on the archive, Pippa discovered gaps in the history. She sought help from a member of the high court that she knew would be of use, Ercis, seneschal to the Queen. Ercis helped Pippa fill in these gaps but during this time the two grew very close. Eventually they fell in love and wished to marry but as it was frowned upon to marry outside of social class, they were forbidden from doing so and held their own ceremony in secret.

The Queen didn't approve of their closeness and perhaps as punishment sent Pippa away on a peace keeping mission to the Winter Court. On this mission there was meant to be an exchange of records in order to help complete the libraries of both courts. Pippa never returned from this mission.

Fryst managed to change Pippa into a Winter fae and hold her in the Winter Court under the power of a Geas. Pippa is bound to serve and follow Fryst's whims until deemed no longer useful. She remains in the winter court to this day and has been there for around 400 years, slowly forgetting herself and her life before.

Only recently has she reconnected with Ercis and begun pulling back her old memories from the depths of her mind.

## Appearance

Spring: Pippa dressed in soft pastel colors. Her hair was long and auburn, fading to a soft blonde at the ends, very similar to the patterns of deer fur. She has fawn like spots across her face and down her back. Small horns curl out from either side of her head.

Winter: Pippa's skin has taken on a sickly white color fading slowly down from the crown of her head. Her eyes have changed to to a solid black and her skin has been stained and burn by the frostbite from being stuck in a season she was not built for. Her hands and feet are black and her hair has turned white. He rhorns were stolen from her and she now wears a crown of twigs she made for herself.

## Relationships

### Ercis

Ercis is Pippa's husband. They fell in love against the rules of the Spring Court. They bonded while working in the archives and planned to leave the responsibilities of the court behind once the archive was complete. When Pippa went missing, Ercis was the only one to remember her. Pippa reconnected with Ercis only about 200 years ago. She visits his cottage, having no trouble navigating the maze. She will spend nights there when able and no longer tries to lash out at him as she did when they first reconnected. Ercis has tried to help Pippa revert to her spring form but nothing has worked thus far. Pippa and Ercis have a child together.

### Fryst

Fryst is the holder of the Geas over Pippa. Fryst wears Pippa's horns as trophy. Pippa has functions as a spy and source of information for Fryst and the Winter Court since she arrived. If given an order, Pippa has no choice but to listen as the geas causes her to freeze solid if she doesn't obey. Fryst took away Pippa's child shortly after it was born. Pippa doesn't understand what purpose she serves for Fryst.

### Deimos

Deimos and Pippa have worked closely together since her arrival the the Winter Court. She passes the information she gathers along to Deimos and is sometimes expected to assist him in missions. While their interactions have been turbulent on occassion they have found a strange trust in each other. Still wary and cautious, they have formed a bond that feels important to Pippa, and against her better judgement she trusts Deimos. Pippa's memory loss has caused much confusion for her and caused a few breakdowns. Deimos taught her several ways to self soothe and cope with these attacks. The relationship is very confusing for Pippa.

### Altisse

Pippa and Altisse had a confrontation in the woods one night that led to both of them being injured but once Altisse discovered the Pippa was a spring fae she called off her attack. Soon after another meeting they discovered they were in fact sisters. Pippa feels a duty to protect Altisse now. Especially from herself.
