welcome to the faerie revel

"Welcome to the faerie revel in the palace under the hill. Watch yourself, faeries can't lie but they can play tricks. Keep your rowan berries and salt on hand, and your stockings inside out. Be careful not to eat faerie fruit. If you start dancing you won't be able to stop. Other than that, try and have a good time."

faerieprincessjude - an indie roleplay blog for Jude Duarte from The Folk Of The Air book series by Holly Black (The Cruel Prince, The Wicked King, The Queen of Nothing).

(book spoilers) Jude is a 17-year-old mortal girl living in Faerieland, a girl knight of Faerie, spy and seneschal as a lady in the Faerie Court, and sometime princess of Faerieland (though she may become High Queen of Faerie I like to keep her at princess for now). You can let me know which book you're on if you wish to roleplay. Default: Jude is now princess of Faerieland.

swordfighting

Swinging her wooden training sword against yours, hitting with a clacking noise, again and over again, Jude played at battle fiercely. An overhead swing, then an underhand, then holding up her sword to block yours. Not bothering to wield a heavy shield on her other arm. "Finally, someone who likes to fight as much as I do," she grunted through her efforts. She swung her sword around in a circle like a windmill in her hand, showing off the new trick she'd learned. Knight training was still her favorite thing, despite being taunted for a girl wanting so desperately to be a knight. Hair plastered around her face with sweat in the heat, Jude's two long hair braids fell behind her shoulders, swinging around as she rounded on her feet. With momentum from the circular turn, she hit her practice sword against yours with a dull thud - sending you to the ground. "I didn't mean that," Jude said apologetically, holding out a hand for yours, offering to help you back to your feet. "Would you say we're we still friends?"

Faerie/Fair Folk Starters

[rp-meme-glaceon]

"They say strange things gather at the crossroads."

"Whatever you do, keep your head down and don't look anyone in the eyes."

"You're a foolish creature...but, a beautiful one. I think I'll keep you for awhile."

"Never insult the fair folk. Talk about them with respect, unless you're just dying to be cursed."

"Come away, oh human child."

"They can be kept at bay with iron, a salt circle, or certain herbs. But you still have to be careful!"

"Please, tell me you didn't eat anything they gave you!"

"When I was little, one of my friends disappeared after walking into a faerie circle. I never saw them again."

"Have you ever heard of something called "The Wild Hunt?"

"If you manage to impress them, you might be granted a favor."

"I fulfilled my promise; I gave you exactly what you asked for!"

"You were the one who was willing to gamble what you couldn't afford to lose."

"Real faeries aren't anything like Tinkerbell. Real faeries are fucking terrifying."

"It's said that they steal teeth from children."

"I hate to break it to you, but that baby's not yours, or for that matter, human."

"Time passes differently in their world than it does in ours."

"They can't cross running water."

"I told you never to ask them for a favor!"

"You helped me. And now I will help you."

"Once it has you in its thrall, it won't ever let you go."

"What a good mortal. I'm glad I decided to keep you."

at the revel, discussing the weather

"I think I just felt a shiver go through me," Jude said suddenly among the crowd of faerie creatures gone quiet in their conversation. The mortal maiden was gowned in a cerulean and turquoise dress criss-crossed with gold ties, her hair up in two swirls like horns. "I don't care if you want a cold spell in this summer heat. But tell me, do you think the temperature outside directly follows the prince's mood?" She laughed a bit carelessly. She took a cherry from a bowl and popped it in her mouth, then spat the pit to the ground. "That's enough talk about the weather. Come on, let's dance!" She grabbed both your hands in hers, laughing and giggling, pulling you to the dance floor in the hollow under the hill.

going to the revel

"Are you coming or not?" Jude demanded. She fingered her rowan berry necklace, assuring herself it was still there, like paint smudges of bright red in the darkening twilight, the tiny pentacles on the berries known to protect from ensorcellment. Her dress' neckline was too low to hide the berry necklace. "You do know what you're doing, don't you? You have to have your wits about you around here, be you faerie or mortal." Her boots sure-footedly tromped through the tall flowered weeds, Faerieland like an overgrown backyard seemingly without end. "Don't tell me you don't know the way. Don't worry, you can follow me." Her left hand fell to the leaf-handled knife strapped around her forget-me-not blue dress, her right hand reached out toward you as if to hold hands but then gestured for you to follow.

roleplay rules

Spoilers: there will be book spoilers on this blog. It's your choice to interact. You can let me know how far you've read in the book series if you want. But my default is post-series having read all 3 books. It's your choice if you want to roleplay while reading the series or after you've finished.

Shipping: Jude will only really ship with Cardan, but I am open to platonic relationships / friendships with other characters.

No hatred or hate messages.

Be respectful to everyone.

Keep violence and gore to a minimum. There may be swordfighting or wounds but nothing too graphic or too mean to another roleplayer.

There may be mentions of faerie wine or faerie fruit but keep it respectful.

No animal cruelty including snakes, spiders, insects, since these are faerie friends too.

No criticizing my roleplay portrayal or any others'. I've read 3 books but might not be able to remember all the details. I will try my best roleplaying but I will not necessarily follow the books exactly as I like to use a little imagination as well.
