"*Sometimes, Eran . . . those of us who don’t want war, decide that the best way to deal with that is to just end it in an impartial manner.'*"
―Ondine[[The Ice Plague: Book 2 - The Seething Seas, Chapter 2: Flame Upon the Sea]]
**Ondine** is a Seelie water elemental and Captain of the Mantissa who served as Court diviner for the Oak King and Gwyn ap Nudd. She is the lover of Julvia Dubna Vajat, and the two were reunited after the battle with Olphix.

## Appearance

#### Status

* Outer Court (as of *The Court of Five Thrones*)
* Inner Court (formerly, demoted by Albion for not voting against Gwyn ap Nudd)

Ondine has 'almost black eyes and a heart-shaped face of olive skin' and wears a 'necklace of generous black pearls around her neck'. She has 'long black hair tumbling past her waist' (Gwyn stated it was shorter in *Game Theory*, though 'it had always been long'). Her hair is constantly wet and tangled, and her fingers and feet constantly drip water. Underwater she wears a sheer gown. Like many fae, she is shorter than Gwyn.

When she first met Gwyn in *The Court of Five Thrones*, she wore 'a dress of fabric that, water-damp as it was, had turned into an opaque midnight-blue, glints of silver within like stars'.

Julvia Dubna Vajat purchased a 'wrap made of a shining gossamer, embroidered with tiny bits of shell so small that they no longer looked like individual beads, but like part of the soft fabric itself. When spread out to its full length, a naked woman swam alongside dolphins. When crumpled up, the colours blended and still looked beautiful' for Ondine, which both seemed to appreciate.

## Personality

Ondine can be sweet and playful, and seems easily bored with strategy meetings, but she is also canny and wise, particularly when it comes to politics. Awan said that 'Ondine does not like prolonged negotiations'. Ondine 'hated the Court environment with a passion.' According to Gwyn, she never liked crowded places. She is also frank, even during diplomatic proceedings. 'There was a time when Ondine used to be more aggressively anti-war.'

Ondine admitted that when she was younger, she had issues with suicidal ideation, related to reading the palms of soldiers she knew would die.

Ondine also offers to read fortunes when she meets new people. She's very open to touch, particularly in offering comfort to others in distress. She's also very patient when people are struggling, at least while serving as host.

Ondine is far more comfortable living in her true or hybrid-form, underwater.

## Life

Ondine once served the Oak King. She stated that the Oak King wooed her out of fear for her power, but she would have been treated as an enemy of the Seelie Court if she refused to help him. Ondine also said that since she is tied to her home, she cannot 'leave it to live anywhere *except* the palace', and the Courts know this, including Gwyn, so she can always be found by others looking to beg favors.

Ondine and the Mantissa were involved in ending numerous wars prior to the current story, including wars involving the House of Atros, which is why the House of Atros isn't given to liking her very much.

Before Gwyn picked her for Inner Court, he vetted her to make sure she wasn't close to Crielle ferch Fnwy. She then served as his Diviner and member of his Inner Court while Gwyn was King of the Seelie Court. She also handled diplomatic events and parties while Gwyn was King. She was the only one who didn't vote to demote him from Kingship. Albion demoted her for it, as he felt betrayed.

Ondine was still friendly enough to Gwyn after Gwyn was expelled from the Seelie Court that she requested a hug when they met again in *The Court of Five Thrones*. She traveled with him to talk about his pretending to be Seelie, and offered her own necklace as payment to a family Gwyn took food from when he was underfae, saying that she owed Gwyn debts, as well. Ondine was the one who suggested Gwyn call in his life debts for Seelie fae as strategy to help win the war against the Seelie Court.

After Mikkel's death, Gwyn asked Ondine if he could give her support to build an inter-alignment refuge for Readers, to hide them before the Courts find them, and to keep it secret, even from him. Ondine agreed, and implied that she had already built, was building, or knew of such a refuge, but for prophets born with powers similar to Ondine. She later sent Gwyn a note saying she did as asked.

When Gwyn, Augus Each Uisge, Eran, Mosk Manytrees, Ash Glashtyn, and Julvia were on the run in *The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire*, Gwyn called for Ondine, and Ondine brought the Mantissa to rescue them, and offered them shelter aboard for several weeks. She attempted to read Gwyn and Mosk, but was unsuccessful, given their changing heartsongs or status as world-changers. Upon reading Julvia, Ondine learned of their bond, which seemed to please both women.

When Eran first went aboveboard, Ondine was there to greet him, and helped him move about. She offered to read his future, but he refused, and she respected his decision. She was supportive, even holding him up at times, but also pushed him to take steps on his own, noting, 'I still want you to do it. I saw you fighting on the shore. I’ve heard stories of how you’ve protected Mosk. Gwyn speaks highly of you. And this is something I know you can do. Just a few steps towards the gunwale.'

Julvia simply observed Ondine for a while, and Ondine was nervous about her interest, but they quickly got to know each other, and started spending much of their time on the ship together, and fell in love.

Eventually, the Mantissa had to parley with Erewen and her posse. Gwyn tried to intervene, using his title, and Erewen shot back at his rudeness. But Ondine ignored him, and pushed Erewen to the point. The pair descended underwater for further discussion of how Ondine would fulfill the tasks needed to give the Mantissa further passage. Ondine later noted that since Albion took over the Seelie Court, his absence from the sea had split powers below into factions, and the more powerful were pressing for dominance, particularly among the Unseelie, like the House of Atros. Despite the heaviness of it all, Ondine spent time with her crew and danced with them and her guests, including Eran.

When Gwyn attacked the Raven Prince, Ondine ordered Gwyn to release the former King. Ondine argued with Gwyn, and grew angrier when Gwyn turned his weapon on *her*. She threatened to throw Gwyn and his party overboard if Gwyn didn't stop. She had to call in one of her life debts with him to make him remove the Raven Prince's gag. After the Raven Prince explained a few things about what he'd been up to, and Eran explained Gwyn's life a little, Gwyn ordered Ash to guard the former King, while Gwyn saw to Augus. Ondine ordered a two-fae guard be set on the Raven Prince.

Ondine and Gwyn argued about the Raven Prince's state. 'Gwyn was pushing to have him recognised as a prisoner of the Court, and Ondine was pushing to have him recognised as an Unseelie citizen with full access to Court rights, including begging for asylum.' They eventually agreed that Gwyn would free him, but if the Raven Prince attempted to harm any of them, Gwyn would kill him. Ondine agreed to offer him use of her healers.

After Julvia bought a wrap for Ondine, the pair spent some time alone, together, wrapped around each other.

The House of Atros dragged the Mantissa to their waters, which pissed Ondine off. She met with their envoy, Stertes, and his retinue. She ignored his pleasantries and tried to cut to the point, offering them rooms on the Mantissa when Stertes refused to budge, which they accepted. Gwyn disliked Stertes, and Ondine pacified Gwyn, noting that she liked her bon accord with Turus, the leader of the House of Atros, and needed to retain his favor by not pissing off Stertes. Stertes was still quite proprietary of the Mantissa, and patronizing to both Ondine and Gwyn.

Ultimately, Ondine negotiated to allow the Mantissa to sail into the Sea of Sculptures. The House of Atros continued to push for favors, so Ondine spent much of her time negotiating with them or spending time with Julvia. When the Mantissa first sighted the Sea of Sculptures, Ondine observed from the gunwhale alongside Gwyn and Stertes. She later took some time to swim in the water with other fae, dolphins, and porpoises. Julvia left her wings in Gwyn's care to dive down and join her.

Ondine and Julvia relaxed in a hammock on the deck together before the Raven Prince attacked Ash with the adar llwch gwin.

Ultimately, the House of Atros kept stalling, which further endangered Augus' already grave health, and Gwyn initially didn't want to start a war by pushing on, but Augus himself noted he was getting worse, so Gwyn pressured Ondine to move the Mantissa anyway. When Gwyn impressed how dire things were, Ondine reluctantly agreed. At that point, the Raven Prince called them all for his departure on the afterdeck. He gave many of them gifts, and gave Ondine 'a small figurine. A carved white feather that looked like it was made of chalcedony or moonstone', though it is unclear what it is or does. Before the Raven Prince left, he bowed to Ondine, then Gwyn, then folded into a raven and flew off.

Ondine prepared the Mantissa for departure, which increased tensions with the House of Atros, as the ship had yet to receive their blessing to depart. Her crew was somewhat upset, as they didn't like sacrificing their welfare for land fae, particularly one single land fae. They also didn't want to go to war.

When Mosk killed Stertes, Gwyn brought the news of 'his' killing Stertes to Ondine himself. She, along with Gwyn, argued with Stertes' retinue. The retinue demanded that Gwyn answer for the crime of killing Stertes and the House of Atros began attacking the Mantissa. Albon used his powers to pull the ship away from House of Atros waters, to a liminal sea, while Ondine sought out Julvia. When Mosk had Eran build a fire, Ondine and Julvia came over, along with other fae, for comfort.

The ship remained in the liminal space for over a day, where they repaired and rested. Albion finally appeared and dragged the ship closer to the Seelie Court. Ondine bowed to him in greeting, though he was dismissive. He apologized for the damage he caused the Mantissa. She thanked him for saving them all, and fetched him a boat to bring Gwyn, Eran, and Mosk to shore.

After Albion showed Gwyn the crumbled Seelie Court, Julvia, Augus, and Ash also departed the ship. Ondine saw the remains of the Seelie Court, and she and Julvia clung to each other in a last goodbye, before Julvia left with the others on the way to face Olphix.

In the eighth year after the battle with Olphix, Ondine traveled to the new Aur forest, and was there to greet Julvia as she emerged from the woods. They embraced. She said she saw Julvia's part in the Aur forest's restoration, and not Mosk's fate, and apologized for having nothing else to tell Eran. Then she and Julvia left together.

## Special Abilities

### Fae Abilities

**Divination/Prophecy:** Ondine can read fortunes by clasping someone's hands with her own, which includes the future and the past. She has significant trouble reading the fortune of a fae whose heartsong has changed many times, or who is a world-changer. She seemed to state that she can see Gwyn's future up to the next 24 hours, upon which it becomes cloudy. She also stated that she can 'never' see his future. Ondine literally cannot lie about her prophecies.

**Water Manipulation:** Ondine can manipulate water, which might be part of her elemental abilities.

### Skills

**Sailing:** Ondine can pilot the Mantissa.

**Language:** Ondine knows multiple languages.

## Relationships

### Albion

Although Albion felt slighted by Ondine refusing to vote against Ondine, and demoted her to Outer Court for it, he still came to rescue the Mantissa in its hour of need against the House of Atros. Ondine doesn't seem to care for him much, but still thanked him.

### Awan

Awan is Ondine's First Mate on the Mantissa. They appear to be close, and understand each other well.

### Eran Iliakambar

Ondine met Eran later than the others of his party, as Eran was unconscious when he first boarded the Mantissa. But she tried to comfort him when he was terrified of the sea. She's the one who helped encourage him to explore. Ondine said she likes him.

### Erewen

It's unclear if the two are friends or simply peers, but once formalities were set aside, they were quite familiar with each other and cordial.

### Gwyn ap Nudd

Although Gwyn trusts Ondine and views her as a friend, he also picked her to strengthen the lie of his false alignment while he was pretending to be Seelie. The pair have worked to repair their friendship, and still care for each other, though they will still fight. Ondine is also one of the few fae Gwyn lets himself be somewhat open around. Ondine knew early on some of what Gwyn faced, when she met Lludd Llaw Eraint and divined for him, and saw some of what he did to Gwyn. Ondine also knows about Gwyn's scarred shoulder.

### King Innokenti and Dubna

Ondine called Julvia 'one of Innokenti's and Dubna's brood', implying she possibly knew one or both of them.

### Julvia Dubna Vajat

Upon reading Julvia, Ondine knew they were bound together. Julvia was fascinated when Ondine read her future, and the two quickly fell into a romantic and physical relationship while on the Mantissa together. Julvia said that Ondine is 'very soft and warm . . . And she's small . . . I like holding her. It feels like a dream.' The pair spend much time together on the Mantissa, in and out of their quarters. Julvia was devastated when they have to part ways once her group left the Mantissa. Julvia gave her heart to Ondine, so the pain of their parting is deeper. They were reunited after the battle with Olphix, and still in love.

### Mosk Manytrees

Julvia noted that Ondine liked Mosk, and saw Mosk in Julvia's future, where Mosk would ask if Julvia would talk to her about something big and risky involving Mosk and Julvia's powers as genius loci.

### The Raven Prince

It's possible that Ondine and the Raven Prince were friends prior to his 'death'. The Raven Prince had traveled on the Mantissa many times prior to the events of *The Ice Plague: Book 2 - The Seething Seas*, and Ondine was rather tender towards him. She called him 'my raven'.

### Stertes

Although they are relatively polite to each other during political matters, and Ondine respects Stertes' powers, she considers him a stuffy jerk. Stertes is patronizing towards Ondine, and happy to take advantage of the power he holds over her and the Mantissa. Ondine later describes him as 'a wretched, manipulative little squid', though she also acknowledges his popularity among the sea fae.

### King Turus

King Turus and Ondine have a bon accord, which Ondine isn't very happy about upsetting.

### Uhina

Uhina holds some authority on the Mantissa, and takes charge of situations when Ondine or Awan are not present, seemingly indicating Ondine's trust in her.

## Quotations

* 'You should be asking me if I betrayed you . . . That I knew what I did, and didn’t tell anyone.'
* 'It’s not good to be born with…telepathy or empathy or clairvoyance, or basically anything that the Court might use to forecast a war or a political move.'
* 'It is done. We will do the very best that we can. This is all you can know. I trust you understand.'
* 'Fire fae can do all right on the sea, I promise, especially when they have the support of water fae. Did you know that most of us love fire fae? Probably not, right?'
* 'Firstly, the sea like this is a desert. There are oases that fish and fae cling to, but food can be hard to find, and the landscape ahead is sparse, isn’t it? The desert scares people too, doesn’t it? But if you learn it and respect it, the desert becomes a true love, and the sea is like that too. And there, listen to the waves, Eran. The sea has a rhythm to her, she breathes in and out, and she needs fire too.'
* 'Remind me later,’ Ondine said softly, ‘when I suffer for my love, that it’s worth it in the end.'

## Trivia

* It's possible Ondine dubbed the An Fnwy curse as the 'family curse'

## Folklore/Mythology

'Ondine is a variation of undine, the category of elemental beings associated with water'.

'Undines . . . (or ondines) are a category of elemental beings associated with water, stemming from the alchemical writings of Paracelsus. Later writers developed the undine into a water nymph in its own right, and it continues to live in modern literature and art . . . Paracelsus believed that each of the four classical elements – earth, water, air and fire – is inhabited by different categories of elemental spirits, liminal creatures that share our world: gnomes, undines, sylphs and salamanders respectively. He describes these elementals as the "invisible, spiritual counterparts of visible Nature . . . many resembling human beings in shape, and inhabiting worlds of their own, unknown to man because his undeveloped senses were incapable of functioning beyond the limitations of the grosser elements."

. . . Undines are almost invariably depicted as being female, which is consistent with the ancient idea that water is a female element. They are usually found in forest pools and waterfalls, and their beautiful singing voices are sometimes heard over the sound of water. The group contains many species, including nereides, limnads, naiades, mermaids and potamides.

What undines lack, compared to humans, is a soul. Marriage with a human shortens their lives on Earth, but earns them an immortal human soul.

The offspring of a union between an undine and a man are human with a soul, but also with some kind of aquatic characteristic, called a watermark.'
