♥ Welcome to the very first Lettie Fit Friday, Tumblr!! ♥

This is my Suitor Armor OC: Charlette "Lettie" Lighthelm. ♥ She is (to be) the royal seamstress, and is an elf who is disguised as human. Lettie is designed to go along with the main events of the story who grows up alongside Lucia and Kirsi as the adopted "middle sister", thanks in part to her mother Althea's standing as Kirsi's seamstress.

Lettie was always intended to assume the role when Kirsi was old enough to wed and move to the castle, but she would come to inherit it sooner when her mother succumbed to her lifelong illness. Since Althea's passing, Lettie has been plagued by mysterious visions of misfortune that seem to strike on nights when the moon is full. What could it mean...?

🥀 Althea 🥀

Lettie's mother was sick, and had been for a very, very long time. Althea was considered an outcast in her faction for this reason amongst others, (including her sour attitude). But one fateful day, her faction was attacked and her wings were stripped.

Now that the worst had come to pass, Althea decided to leave her faction in search of a different life. Not better - just different.

After all, what else did she stand to lose? She was going to die young.

Despite what the humans had done to her and her kind, Althea could not help being fascinated by them. She was drawn to their culture, their food, and most of all: their fashion. Althea would craft her own clothes and glamour her ears when the situation called for it. She was determined to live amongst the humans and if that meant playing the part of one, then so be it. 

But she could not have predicted what would happen next: Althea had fallen in love with a human.

And what’s more, she had fallen pregnant with his child.

She stood to lose something once more.

And she was going to die young.
