&&. ( friendly reminder that as pure and kind as faye appears and behaves, her magical capability is absolutely TERRIFYING. her parents were both infamous sorcerers who mastered the dark arts and delved into the most secretive and twisted nooks and crannies of it. they were known as MONSTERS, they were FEARED among society because of their abilities to DESTROY a human mind and body in such disturbing, violent ways. faye never wanted to possess such a horrible power, but from the time she first learned to read, her parents immediately put her to work studying the dark arts.
she has lived her ENTIRE LIFE studying the dark arts and learning how to BEND THE WILL OF OTHERS. against her own, she was forced to learn how to KILL, how to TORTURE, and how to MAIM. it was only natural that when the first opportunity of freedom came in the form of garon, she let herself be smooth-talked easily, as she had been sheltered for her entire life. she immediately believed it was true love, and let him take her away from her small village and into the regalia of castle krakenburg, where she would soon have leo. and where she would eventually have him ripped away from her and be banished.
though leo certainly inherits his magical talent from his mother, faye made sure to keep leo FAR from the caliber of dark arts that she had grown up learning. she considers herself CURSED for having such knowledge. unknown to leo, his mother actually possesses magical ability much more powerful and horrific than his own---it is likely he would only witness it if his life was in danger and faye had to protect her son. faye NEVER wants her beloved leo to be CURSED with the knowledge and power that she has. she NEVER wants leo to have to use such horrible magic, to have to destroy someone’s mind, bend their will, rip apart their body and control their form as if it were a puppet.
faye would also hide her capabilities from leo and anybody else. she acts like she isn’t cursed with such awful power, casting common spells as if she were any common sorcerer. however, if leo’s life were ever to be threatened in her presence, it is CERTAIN she would go to ANY LENGTH to defend him. she will EASILY throw away her mercy and her gentle kindness in favor of making whomever dared to harm her child REGRET THEIR ACTIONS. of course, she would be horrified upon realizing leo had witnessed her outburst and most likely witnessed some awful, horrific spell which bent limbs and tore apart sanity---but in the end, no matter the cost, faye will protect leo. even if it means becoming a MONSTER just like her parents. she would kill, destroy, and slaughter if it meant to keep the most important thing in her life safe and sound. she may emphasize kindness and mercy, but if it comes down to it, she will become a MONSTER for her son.
