(fc) Nils Kuiper for Soren & Elodie.

Name: AshFace: Nils Kuiper Bio: No one is entirely certain who, or what Ash is. He’s supernatural, that much everyone does know, but all guesses are met with a laugh and a smile. At any rate, he’s a relatively well known figure for the supernatural living in the mundane world. If you need information he’s the man to go to; either he’ll know it, or can find it. 

He and Elodie have a working relationship. He’s never payed for anything at the Dreaming in his life, but he gets her information, and he’s useful to have around. He and Søren as well, get along. Ash makes sure that no one ever connects Søren to the mysterious suicide victims in central park, and in return, when he’s given names, Søren makes sure they end up in central park a night he’s playing, or he’ll pass notes to those who’ve come to see the symphony.

The winning assumption is that he’s from the Dreaming, and some sort of fairy creature, though a lot of people assume he’s more like the nøkken, and while still supernatural, not from the Dreaming naturally. It’s the same thing with his name, no one knows for certain what it truly is. 

He’s a frequent enough to see at Elodie’s cafe, or listening to Søren during the evenings, or any of the meeting places for the supernatural. He’s not that hard to find so long as you know how, or where to look.

🃏 ! for Elodie or Kai?

@amcracchius || send me in a ‘🃏’ for a tarot card based starter.

Card pulled: judgement; this is used to represent a point where you see the end result of past actions. The herald of a new chapter in life, because things have changed.

The cafe had slowed down. Ash had come and gone with a laugh and a cupcake (and a debt owed, but that was normal for him). Helena, one of the young witches that frequented the cafe had settled down at a corner table with a pile of books, ones about her university studies. (Part of the quiet she figured, would also have to be the fact that last she’d heard the local wizard was looking for information on a recent murder that pointed towards the fae).

Over the speakers a soft song played, as she replaced an empty display with a fresh plate of cookies, all infused with a little bit of happiness, the recent rain had brought most spirits down, and it had seemed simple enough to give everyone a little bit more joy. Most of the things on display today held something, the brownies had a sprinkle of whimsy, the danishes were creativity, the plate of tester cakes were useful to dispel exhaustion (most people just guessed they were coffee flavoured, when they didn’t feel as tired after eating one).

The bell at the door jangled, and Elodie looked up curiously. She didn’t recognize the man that had walked in, but that by itself was hardly a surprise. He could have been mundane, or a supernatural that just hadn’t stopped by the cafe. Certainly not all did, and for those that did, it was usually fae, shifter folk, and the odd hedge mage. 

“Hello,” she said, “I don’t think I’ve seen you here before.” Elodie smiled slightly as she held up a small plate of cake testers. “You must take one, the Dreaming’s been so quiet, I’m not sure what I’ll do with all of them if you don’t.”

(kid meme) Elodie & Jace

@wordbound sent this in eons ago.

Name: Aiden Lafleur-Herondale (Lafleur to Elodie, and to the Courts, Herondale to a large part of the downworld).

Gender: male

General Appearance: Aiden takes more after Elodie in terms of appearance; the fine, delicate features, the unnaturally coloured hair, though his is far more blue, and a much more vibrant shade naturally than his mothers. His features are slightly more angular than Elodie’s however, and he’s taller like Jace.

Personality: Aiden, rather like his mother seems quite gentle. His room is overflowing with plants, and he spent his childhood helping her in The Dreaming, but like with his mother, there’s more than first appearances. Half of his plants are poisonous, and he’s long since learned how to get what he wants with a couple well placed words and some oh-so tempting confections.

Special Talents: Aiden’s blood isn’t human, it isn’t even mostly human. In truth, he’s more angel than anything else (it’s a near thing, but it’s not untrue). Because he’s still Jace’s son, he can wear runes without dying or being driven mad, but he takes more after the fae side of his heritage- he can’t lie, but he will, and does spin the truth, and his skill with plants is more than a little genetic. 

Who they like better: Elodie (it was a one-night stand between Jace and Elodie, and Aiden knows that he uses his father’s name more often than not, but he doesn’t actually know Jace).

Who they take after more: Elodie

Personal Head canon: He’s partly shadowhunter, but he’s spent a childhood avoiding them, most of his life spent in parts of the downworld or in the actual Dreaming. (He does develop a bit of a massive crush on Søren, the nøkken that frequents the cafe).

Face Claim: I have been unable to find this guy’s name, but he’s perfect.

• QUICK STATS •

NAME :: Elodie Lafleur NICKNAME :: El FANDOM :: Dresden Files / generic urban fantasy GENDER :: Female ORIENTATION :: unconcerned with the human view of gender and relationships BIRTHDAY :: n/a ZODIAC :: n/a SHIPS :: chemistry

• BIOGRAPHY •

The world of the Fae was vast, and filled with creatures that were not human, but rather not of this world. The Sidhe, beautiful, and mighty. Trolls, the Dewdrop pixies, elementals... there were many, and above them ruled the Courts. Elodie cared little for the politics of the other Seelie, and Unseelie, and it was with no small bit of luck that her position as a Wyldfae, not tied to any Court, that she didn't have to. In times of war, it was her choice to fight or to remain neutral, and without the allegiance, she walked between the world of men and the Fae just a little bit easier.

(Once upon a time there had been four Courts, but now there was only two, her mother and father came from the two long dead Courts. Most of the survivors had either chosen to pledge themselves to one of the two remaining ones or to simply leave and join the Wyldfae. Her parents were the latter).

It was with a bit of curiosity, and boredom that Elodie opened the small café, that she called The Dreaming (for those that knew the truth, it was a beacon of safety, and for those who were unaware, it was simply a cute name). The Dreaming followed the rules of hospitality to the letter. usually that was fine. you came and bought the food and drink, and the debt was paid, perhaps their was an itch and a craving to return, but that was normal.

But just as it was safe to take and drink the fairy food, take not more than you can afford, and ne'er give out your whole name. Names held power and weight, and letting a fairy know it could hold poor consequences. Just as it was safe to eat at The Dreaming, it was best to never except anything more. "Samples, take one!"

Elodie has a small list of people that owe her debts. She doesn't usually call in the favours they owe, and when she does, they're rarely large, they are debts to a Fae.

Elodie stays aware of the news in the community, and The Dreaming was a safe, neutral place for the other supernatural creatures to hold meetings, and to quite simply be themselves. It's a point of pride for her. She looks, and is reasonably harmless compared to some. For those that know to ask, The Dreaming serves more than just mortal drinks, including things like emotions and memory. She likes running her café, and seeing the people. People are interesting, and it gives her goals and a position. (Most people assume her hair's naturally platinum blonde, they're wrong, it's lilac, ans she dyes it frequently).

• PHYSICAL •

FACE CLAIM :: Vanja Jagnic HEIGHT :: 5′4″ BUILD :: Slight, thin VISUAL AGE :: 23 ACTUAL AGE :: in human years, probably around 898, but time within the Dreaming was far different. HAIR :: lilac EYES :: lilac-blue SPECIES :: Fae - Sidhe HAND :: right GLASSES :: No IDENTIFYING :: Elodie, like all the Sidhe, is supernaturally graceful/beautiful, although she tends to keep a slight glamour to make it slightly more subtle, it’s not as normal in the world of the humans. She’s not human, so some of her features aren’t naturally human colours. her hair is the most obvious, it’s naturally purple.

• MENTAL •

FAITH :: Elodie believes in creatures of the Dreaming and those that are not human. What else exists, she’s not sure, bu nor does she label herself with a human label. MARITAL STATUS :: single OCCUPATION :: Owner of The Dreaming cafe. EDUCATION :: She grew up int he Dreaming, so her parents taught her much, and when she crossed the divide into the mortal world to open her cafe, she learned a lot of math, science, and various other topics in passing. QUIRKS :: Elodie looks harmless, especially when seen with other fae, but that only meant it was easier to underestimate her. She does tend to play it up though, even if it’s always edged with what should be taken with caution. (”Free samples!”)
