Spring Fae are infused with the primal energies of the first thaw, when new things are born and the world awakens from the long sleep of winter. They are bright and lively, full of life and joy and brimming with enthusiasm. To be a Spring Fae is to wear your emotions on your sleeve, to be present in the moment and live wholeheartedly. They tend to have trouble restraining their emotions, and try to avoid situations where they’re expected to keep their face straight or their mouth shut for very long.

Mechanical Effects

Spring Fae have a connection to the realms of Ferukhar and Zunakhar; when they interact with cultists, monsters, or events surrounding those Old Gods, they may have some small amount of resistance to their mind-altering effects or insight into their nature or motivations.

Cosmetic Guidelines

Spring Fae always have facial markings flowing upwards from their eyes towards and into their hairline. The marking can start from their upper eyelid, the bottom edge of their eyebrow, or just above the eyebrow. It should never go below the corners of the eye or touch the nose.

Playing A Spring Fae

Open. Emotive. Boisterous. Passionate. Don’t hold back on your emotions. Play your character to the hilt, chewing on scenery and feeling all the roiling passion of the drama they’re in, the quiet peace and contentedness of gardening, the satisfaction of healing or crafting, whatever their interests may be. Be passionate, be lively, be enthusiastic. If something catches your interest, dive in whole-heartedly. If your character is feeling an emotion, play that emotion out at full volume.

On the flip side of this, please be mindful of the other players around you. If they’re feeling tired, or aren’t up for dealing excessive emotion, dial the intensity of your roleplay back a few notches. This goes for yourself as well: Spring Fae can become tired and low-energy just as any other Lineage can, and it’s okay to just be quiet or withdrawn for a bit if you aren’t feeling like emoting a lot at the moment.
