## Personality and traits

### Personality

Despite the negative image of the Unseelie Court, the best way to describe Mab's personality is once she trusts someone is nice, she is genuine in her honesty and enjoys it in others. Despite her nation's hostility with the Golden OakLeaf Kingdom, she secretly considers Brighid OakLeaf as her best friend, though she doesn't like the nation's worship of the sleeping Albrîhron citing that there is something off about the sleeping being.

Twice a year, at the Midsummer and Midwinter equinoxes she and **Bridghid** cross blades to determine the seasons' course.

**Mab** does not take offenses personally and is not a very assertive person naturally though she is capable of putting on a convincing façade. When asked for a favor by someone she likes or favors she can't say no, though she is not a pushover for people she doesn't like. While she doesn't have as good manners as her husband, she is still considered to be fairly good-mannered.

Knowing the stress her husband is under because of his condition she is restless in maintaining discipline so he has less to worry about. She has a tendency to be a bit rebellious, however (if she can't live the way she feels is right).

She is quite nurturing (especially towards her husband Arawn). Due to dealing with **Arawn's** condition for many years, Mab has become a quick-thinking individual able to deduce a situation very quickly. She is calm to her husband's fluster and is a supportive, loving wife to her shy and lonely husband. **Mab** likes keeping active with her husband and will hold parties with her subjects at a whim. She longs for her husband to make more friends so he won't be so lonely.

She is a worshipper of Quxasis, Goddess of Winter and Ice, and serves as her avatar in Tír na nÓg granting her power of the season of winter and control over ice.

### Appearance

#### Body

**Mab** like most **Archfey** possesses a pair of horns (hers are gold with scarlet striations that glow like embers) and a tail (also gold and scarlet feathers), she has avian scales on her feet and her hands, and she is well-built due to keeping up with the active lifestyle of her husband and constantly worrying about him accidentally touching someone. She is very tall and has a voluptuous build. Her skin is cream-colored.
