BACKGROUND

Self-Perception: A loyal, hardworking, genuinely skilled employee who's also a competent future Head Pixie

Alignment: True Neutral MBTI: INFJ Deadly Sin: Lust Heavenly Virtue: Humility Love Language: Physical touch Reinforcers: Physical and emotional affection, workplace promotions, pay raises… Things more tangible than praise alone

Personality: Longwood is shy, easily distracted, a hopeless romantic, has little to no preening drive, constantly forgets his coworkers’ names, and has a selkie girlfriend he dares to hold hands with in public... all of which make him extremely unpopular among other pixies.

Despite this, Longwood is open, friendly, and quick to compromise. He prioritizes others’ needs above his own, which often gets him into trouble as a potential leader, but makes him a figure outsiders are happy to communicate with.

He’s also a pacifist, which is simultaneously a relief for H.P. (who prefers a successor less likely to kill him) and a massive concern (since Longwood might not defend himself in a fight).

Longwood has a strong moral compass and is notable for being one of the only pixies to refuse underage drinking, given that it's illegal and he'd rather side with the law. When it comes to leading the company, he believes in maintaining a positive reputation, being on good terms with others, and being known for honesty and keeping his word. Breaking the law might come back to bite him. Then again, playing too heavily on the side of Da Rules can be off-putting to Anti-Fairies, leaving Longwood caught in the eternal dance of balance between them, fighting to impress both sides.

While many Pixies hold H.P.'s Daoist beliefs, Longwood follows China's Zodii philosophy. He would love to have his own bedroom (which he could decorate to fit Zodii customs to his core's content), but H.P. has asked him to "keep an eye on Sanderson and Wilcox," so they're roommates to this day. He wears a green ring for his birth year, Leaves. Since he'd like to marry his girlfriend Naelita someday, he'll switch it to a black band with her zodiac stone at that time.

Longwood is more critical of his boss than most pixies are, though he wisely keeps his mouth shut about it. He considers H.P. a highly flawed individual and believes the Pixies are viewed as a flawed species as a result. He disagrees with H.P.’s obsessive desire to regulate magic and control the cloudlands and only goes along with his boss’s plans to keep the peace. H.P. has always seen Pixies as an orderly race who combat chaos as opposed to a neutral race who stand between good and evil.

Longwood’s plan is to emphasize the neutrality of the Pixies one day and refuse to take sides with either Fairies or Anti-Fairies, merely existing as an independent nation that can’t be bribed or baited easily. That’s if Smith and Sanderson don’t take him out first, at least…

Assuming Longwood does become Head Pixie II someday, he will thereafter be addressed as H.P. (and the former H.P. will reclaim his old name, Fergus). Since Longwood is a kleptomaniac with an impulse to steal from superiors, time will tell how long his desired neutrality holds.

Education: Longwood's education differs from that of other pixies. Many of them received an acceptable education at Spellementary School, but Longwood was forbidden from attending. Instead, H.P. tutored him personally and arranged for study abroad opportunities with the Anti-Fairies.

Specifically, he was tutored by Anti-Phillip: Anti-Bryndin's heir. This arrangement allowed H.P. to train Longwood in the ways of being a gyne and future leader away from Sanderson's prying eyes. It also kept Longwood safe, preventing him from getting into fights with other gynes while unsupervised at school. After all, it's incredibly inconvenient when your heir goes and gets himself killed.

Other Tutoring: Growing up, Longwood took interest in China's architecture work (and Zodii research), so he turned to her for advice when possible. While staying home, he also learned from H.P.’s father (Ambrosine) and sister (Emery) on occasion.

Like other pixies, he was trained from childhood to keep a straight face, speak in monotone, and not react easily when startled. However, Longwood is more likely to break the rules than many pixies, as he's a gyne (i.e. H.P.'s dominant gyne influence holds less sway over him than it holds over drones).

Further Education: Longwood was accepted into multiple professional schools he applied to thanks to great test scores, opportunities, and tutoring from leaders like the Head Pixie and Anti-Bryndin. Despite H.P.'s wish that he attend the Fairy Academy, Longwood chose to pursue a business program with the Anti-Fairy Academy. This allowed him to work on projects while in Pixie World for most of the year while also giving him opportunities to explore his Zodii beliefs and make Anti-Fairy friends.

Though some Fairies claim he "doesn't have a degree," Longwood is more educated than H.P. (who dropped out of the Academy, tried going back to school in later years, and dropped out again).

History: Longwood is the fourth offspring of Fergus Whimsifinado, raised as his boss’s intended successor practically since birth (much to firstborn Sanderson’s chagrin). He was born while H.P. was married to his selkie wife (China Mayfleet), so unlike most pixies - especially the older ones - he grew up in a nice home with a mother figure. Longwood grew up in the small town of Lau Rell. He attended school, and during his youth, H.P. and China divorced. Longwood never let go of China and continued visiting her as he grew up.

After Longwood molted from his nymph form and revealed his gyne freckles, H.P. struggled against the instinct to kill him (since gynes are natural rivals). Because of this, H.P. stayed distant in Longwood's youth... and honestly, through most of his life. Even so, Longwood became the pixie marquess at a young age, before the vice president position was properly established (See "Playing With the Big Kids").

He was the obvious choice, as the Pixie race is full of drones and they defer to gyne pheromones. Longwood and Sanderson have been rivals since childhood, as young Sanderson noticed H.P. giving Longwood extra attention despite the emotional distance. In fact, Longwood's status as marquess (and heir to Pixies Inc.) was kept secret from the other pixies for many years, as H.P. knew Sanderson wouldn't take it well and hoped he'd grow out of that jealousy.

While not one for calling his employees his sons, H.P. does see Sanderson as his firstborn more than he sees Longwood as one. In the era H.P. grew up in, it wasn't unusual for gyne parents to consider the eldest gyne their firstborn (skipping past the drones). Pixies Inc. is a business and Longwood is the intended successor, but H.P. has tried to give Sanderson an important role too (The alpha retinue drone position).

Longwood grew up feeling a weird distance between himself and his peers. Being a gyne among drone siblings, he noticed the differences between them at a young age. In some cultures, gynes are celebrated - treated as more attentive or more intelligent than most - but Longwood always felt like the odd one out and a failure. For instance, the drone pixies have a swarming instinct that allows them to move or act as a group, and Longwood felt like a fraud who never fit in.

H.P., unwilling to have difficult conversations until he has to, dragged his feet on explaining to Longwood exactly what a gyne was and what it meant for Longwood's future. Longwood wasn't thrilled to learn the details, as he feels like he was singled out just for the way he was born (with freckles) and not because of his efforts and time. He feels like he's never appreciated and that everything he does is the baseline expectation of what he's "supposed to do."

In general, Longwood is helpful, attentive, and hardworking. He grew up trying to make himself useful around Pixie Village and eventually Pixies Inc. Since gynes are foragers, he was given tasks such as buying groceries or keeping track of deliveries. He's often treated as part of a quartet alongside fellow early-born pixies Sanderson, Hawkins, and Wilcox.

Specifically, he's closest with Wilcox: his roommate and eternal confidant. There's no one else Longwood would rather tell his secrets to, and he takes care of Wilcox too. Longwood tends to stand up for people even when they're unkind to him. Since Wilcox is an easy target for bullying, Longwood will always cover for him. They consider themselves more like brothers than co-workers, though they're not inclined to say so.

Longwood has a very tense relationship with the next eldest pixie gyne, Smith. Smith is widely considered "a better successor" to H.P. than Longwood, as his pheromones and charisma tend to turn heads. Despite him being organized and a hard worker, many see Longwood as awkward, flaky, or irresponsible (Especially with his reputation of slipping off to flirt). Longwood finds preening repulsive while Smith embraces it, so it's no surprise that many drones would rather seek Smith to satisfy their pheromone needs. Years ago, Smith lashed out at Longwood and chased him out of Pixie World. If their relationship was tense before, it was a disaster after. They can't stand to be in the same room, though occasionally grit their teeth and bear it for H.P.'s sake. Very occasionally.

Longwood famously lost his notebook privileges after misplacing sensitive material one too many times. He has a very meticulous notetaking system that he loves, but outside of Pixie World, he's forbidden to carry his best books. He's also supposed to be accompanied by another pixie to ensure he won't sneak off to flirt. Having a steady girlfriend has been good for him, but before he met Naelita, he certainly had a wandering eye.

... Someone named Aspen seems to be an important part of his past, but the details are unclear.

Notable Likes:

- Naelita (His girlfriend) - Affection (Physical and verbal) - Bullet journaling - Black and white movies - "Bye, Bye Birdie" - Expensive steak dinners (Unusual for Pixies, as their culture favors plant-based diets) - Anti-Fairy culture (particularly the overlap with Zodii philosophies) - Taking notes - Walks in the woods - Animal noises in the distance late at night - Looking after young pixies... and human children - Mice

Goals:

- Be a successful father who takes good care of his sons - Finally experience sexually intimacy (Preferably with Naelita) - Save the Pixie reputation by playing nicer with Fairies than H.P. has in recent decades... and setting firmer boundaries with Anti-Fairies - Become a Head Pixie the former H.P. can be proud of - Indulge in all the things H.P. has ever kept him from

Beliefs:

- The most important things you can do for yourself are keep a level head and preserve your reputation, even if it means stifling yourself long-term - All good things to those who wait - Karma is neither immediate nor consistently visible, but the universe will balance itself eventually

Fears:

- Getting killed by H.P. (or Smith) - Having to lead the Pixies through war - Widespread hate that leads to him being banned from his favorite locations - Making irreversible, difficult decisions that don't work out

Upsets:

Frustrated by stubbornness and disrespect from other pixies Stressed by other gynes nearby Flustered by romantic gestures

Comforts: 

- Taking care of children, reaching out to China 

Indulgences:

- Kissing Naelita, watching movies, eating meat

EXTERNAL

Verbal Notes: Informative and professional; often comes across as stern. Longwood has a certain poise to him that makes younger pixies straighten up and listen. Since he's tall, he tends to command attention. When he's with Sanderson, many people default to focusing on him, but Longwood is quick to let them know when Sanderson is the one they should talk to (when applicable).

Longwood is more critical in H.P. than most Pixies, but prefers keeping this to himself. He's very self-sacrificing, always willing to swallow some pain for the greater good. Perhaps that's why Sanderson rubs him the wrong way, as Sanderson prefers to be blunt and sassy. Longwood tends to agree and follow orders, but he's no pushover. He'll stand firm if he doesn't want to do something, or look at you weird and walk away if you have no authority over him. He loves talking and will explain himself if asked. He's not easily made jealous, but it's not uncommon for him to get flustered and angry. Very embarrassing.

Since he's a pacifist, Longwood will usually try to soothe others and avoid saying things that might start a fight.

Language: Fluent in several languages (Notably Snobbish, Elrulian, and Chif), and is mostly fluent in Milesian. He speaks professionally, keeping his words clean. He's quick to praise or mention concerns.

Can speak some Vatajasa, but has a hard time wrapping his tongue around some of the sounds.

Physical Notes: Longwood is taller than many Pixies, but a lot thinner and lighter weight than H.P. He is infected with Wolbachia pipientis. The changes that bacteria made to his body are all internal.

Longwood has asthma due to surrendering a large portion of magic thousands of years ago (Donating breathing lines to twins Mullins and Tolbert when their birth nearly took H.P. out).

Handedness: Left dominant Body Language: Longwood comes across as professional, but approachable. He's not likely to flinch, stare, or shy away from Fairies. He comes across as respectful and in tune with Fairy society. He's more likely to express his emotion through body language than many Pixies, as he'll lean or cross his arms while most of his co-workers would stay stiff Hair: Soft black hair that's flat in front and spikes in the back, forming an L Teeth: Small but extremely sharp; must chew on solid things in order to keep them from growing out of control Wings: Pixie wings mimic those of the Polistes dominula. Pixie hindwings are stunted compared to most Fairies’ wings Gyne Freckles: Heavy dusting on face and throat, lighter dusting on shoulders and upper arms. His freckles reach higher up his face than H.P.'s do Scars: N/A Notable Tattoos: Has H.P.’s company mark branded on the underside of his left wrist along with the number 004. As of the Year of [REDACTED], he has his own company mark branded on the underside of his right wrist along with the number 001

Style: Clean and put-together. When he expects others to see him, he strives to be "on" and professional, even when relaxing. The future Head Pixie can't just be dressing down, after all. Unless he's with his girlfriend.

Regular Clothing: Usually wears his suit in public. Where most pixies wear neckties, Longwood wears a bowtie. His floating hat has a star on top. Casual Clothing: In the privacy of his apartment, he usually wears white button-ups. On occasion, he wears fun tees that fit his girlfriend's alternative style, but avoids doing this where the other pixies can see him. He sometimes breaks out such clothes when he knows Sanderson's away on a long trip with H.P., as he's less concerned about snide comments from Wilcox (who's generally supportive). Preening Clothing: Longwood shies away from preening as a rule, but prefers staying dressed up when it does happen. He doesn't find it fun. While he respects the intimacy of it, it's a professional relationship at the end of the day, so he'd remove his suit jacket at best, but stay in his button-up shirt. Nightwear: When he knows he's not planning to leave his bedroom for the rest of the night, he likes wearing fun tees (See Casual Clothing section). He enjoys cuddling with Naelita when possible, but sometimes cuddles with Wilcox (His roommate who famously likes shapeshifting into animal forms, which can be more approachable than a fellow pixie) Ceremonial Clothing: Royal purple robes decorated with scattered golden stars; only worn during deep preening rituals with important political figureheads. These are very similar to special red robes with golden stars that H.P. uses in special preening rituals. Longwood doesn't really use his ceremonial clothes, but he has to have them in case he needs to as vice president. If he takes over as Head Pixie, he'll inherit the red robes. Other: Since his girlfriend is a selkie, Longwood enjoys swimming. He has gray swim trunks, but doesn't normally wear a shirt with them (to H.P.'s chagrin). He'll put it on around other gynes so it doesn't look like he's flaunting his freckles or trying to start a fight.

Height: 4′2″ (Average for a pixie; tall for a fae)

Hygiene: Longwood prefers cleanliness, but isn't obsessive about it. He finds preening gross, so he tries to keep his skin clean and prefers others do the same. He showers every morning and doesn't normally exert himself, trying not to sweat much. He continues Pixies the cleanest race between Fairies, Pixies, and Anti-Fairies, so he's proud of that.

Morning Schedule: Usually awake before 7:00: quick to wash up, dress, and ping to work. The faster he can get out of the apartment and off to work, the less time he has to deal with Sanderson in the morning. Before settling in for proper office work, Longwood keeps an eye out for who's coming into work and whether they need anything.

Typical Day Schedule: Longwood keeps himself available for H.P. to reach out to him as needed. Most of his work involves coordinating with the heads of different departments: meetings, crunching numbers, and checking up on people. For instance, he works closely with Hawkins to ensure various projects are staying within budget. Longwood also meets with many pixies in person, giving 1-on-1 feedback and performance reviews as appropriate.

Meetings take up most of his time, along with writing reports for H.P. (Usually about those meetings, but occasionally about other statistics or projects). Longwood loves taking pristine, aesthetically pleasing notes, so he takes great pride in his work. He usually keeps aesthetic copies for himself and writes proper memos for H.P.

In his younger years, Longwood often left Pixie World to gather food and other supplies for the pixie race. This later changed to overseeing delivery cloudships: a duty that later passed to Smith.

Evening Schedule: Longwood prefers starting work early so he can clock out early, stealing time before he attends evening meetings. He'll sometimes go out to dinner with his girlfriend or watch a movie with her, though most of their dates take place on weekends so he doesn't need to constantly watch the clock.

Longwood meets with H.P. most evenings to update him on the status of Pixies Inc. (and the Pixie race in general). These meetings usually take place starting at 8:00, but don't go past 9:00 since that's when Sanderson starts preening duties for H.P.

See also, "Grooming."

Sleep Schedule: Longwood's usually home sooner than Sanderson. He'll wash up, briefly decompress, sometimes talk with his roommate Wilcox, and get to sleep as quickly as he can. He doesn't enjoy hanging around Sanderson more than he needs to, and he does enjoy a good sleep in a room where he feels safe (Given that his awake hours usually leave him watching for other gynes who might see him as a rival).

He often spends Thursdays with Naelita and will stay the night when possible, but being Vice President keeps him busy. He swears H.P. always knows when he's not around and will call him back for the most mundane things…

PERSONAL

Relationship Status:

- In a long-term relationship with his selkie girlfriend, Naelita

Ideal Relationship: The freedom to pursue, explore, and discover himself without the constant chill of H.P.'s eyes on the back of his neck. Sanderson might want the boss's attention constantly, but Longwood's the total opposite.

Sexuality: Longwood is interested in damsels, but lives a celibate life under H.P.'s orders. Once the Head Pixie either dies or leaves Pixies Inc. for a new location, Longwood has the chance to become dominant gyne, and presumably will end his celibacy at that time.

Attractiveness: By Pixie standards, Longwood is considered decently attractive. He's successful and hardworking, so many co-workers admire him. H.P. came from a completely different walk of life, so Longwood represents what a modern pixie can become. He's polite, friendly, clean, organized, and professional: all excellent traits. However, Longwood's pheromones are immature. He doesn't draw the eye quite as much as certain co-workers. He finds preening gross and doesn't like to do it, nor is he excited for his future as Head Pixie. He might be vice president, but many people consider confident Smith much more attractive.

Fairies, who aren't normally allured by things dull and gray, don't find Longwood especially attractive. He's odd for a gyne since he's not very muscled and seems prone to snapping in half. He's known by some (Particularly those who keep up with politics) since he's heir to Pixies Inc. and will speak for the Pixies someday. Some people find this intriguing and enjoy flirting with him when he's out in public. He's rich and powerful, after all. He's a popular option for a celebrity crush, but usually among youth who are considered "weird" among their peers. As a pixie, Longwood has weak, unstable magic, which isn't considered attractive either.

Anti-Fairies tend to find Longwood appealing due to his brains and work ethic. His thin, non-muscular body more closely aligns with Anti-Fairy ideals, though most Anti-Fairies want a partner a little more exciting. It's a lot more fun to socialize and chill than to do paperwork, right?

Intimate History: Affectionate with Naelita. Longwood enjoys touching and kissing, which isn't too accepted in Pixie society. H.P. tolerates it, but often sends someone with Longwood when he leaves Pixie World to ensure he won't get sidetracked.

Turn-Ons: Sneaking around is its own thrill… Possibly because Longwood's a kleptomaniac. Call it youthful rebellion or fighting the machine, but Longwood finds a lot of joy in kissing, cuddling, or just whispering to his girlfriend when he's supposed to be on the clock or at a networking event. He's a physical person and likes to touch, especially holding hands. He likes the feel of magic leaving his body, moving from his hand to Naelita's.

Reproductive Status: Capable... No further information at this time

Children: Aspen, Blackwood, and others

- Aspen is a notable character in late Origin of the Pixies - Blackwood is a major character in Devil's Backbone - He's also an unofficial unofficial guardian of Larkspur Mayfleet following her mother's death (See also, "Health Bars")

Sire: Fergus Whimsifinado (Head Pixie the First)

Grandsire: Ambrosine Whimsifinado Granddam: Solara Wurpixiz Aunt: Emery Ranen (née Whimsifinado) Uncle: Logan Ranen Cousin: Chrysanthemum “Zan” Ranen

Uncle Figure: High Count Anti-Cosmo Julius Anti-Cosma

“Cousins”: Anti-Westley Anti-Lunifly (Talon), Larkspur Shiny Mayfleet - Doesn’t consider Anti-Poof (Foop) or Anti-Dusty (Smoky) to be cousins. - H.P. and Anti-Cosmo share custody of Talon and Larkspur, so they visit Pixie World frequently (and are closer to Sanderson’s age). He accepts them in his familial circle, but certainly not Foop or Smoky.

Mother Figure: China Mayfleet

- Longwood is closer to Larkspur than other pixies are, as she's China's biological daughter

Girlfriend: Naelita

She's a selkie; Longwood has her coat. Details unclear, but they're physically affectionate. Many Pixies don't particularly like Naelita since her alternative style clashes with theirs.

Anti-pixies - Longwood tries to be as respectful towards the anti-pixies as possible, but has very different values than they do. He especially dislikes Anti-Sanderson, whose chaotic personality clashes with Longwood's calm, straightforward ways.

He wishes Anti-Longwood would stand up for himself against the rough situation he's in and strongly frowns upon the poor situation the young anti-pixies are in, especially those born after the war (when the anti-pixies were locked in their city, shut off from Anti-Fairy World).

Sanderson - Despite Sanderson’s life revolving around one-upping Longwood and seizing the vice president position for himself, Longwood barely registers Sanderson as a threat and views him more as someone to be protected. Longwood has his grievances with Sanderson, seeing the older pixie as an enabler of H.P.’s vices, but he wouldn’t call him a rival.

Sanderson and Longwood share an apartment suite (with Sanderson rooming with Hawkins, Wilcox with Longwood), but they don’t get along and avoid each other when possible. Sanderson sees Longwood as a rival for H.P.'s affection while Longwood sees Sanderson as annoying, desperate, and kind of pathetic. Despite that, Sanderson is the "older sibling" in this dynamic, so Longwood looks up to him. Their relationship has grown more bitter over time, but in their youth, Longwood treated Sanderson as an older, wiser protector.

In their teen and young adult years, Sanderson developed as a drone while Longwood began entering his gyne phase. While Sanderson struggled with his new dynamic with H.P., Longwood began feeling more protective towards him. Longwood often thinks H.P. mistreats Sanderson and he'd like to see Sanderson thrive, but knows his co-worker isn't interested in hearing that perspective.

Due to being vice president, Longwood is usually more dominant in social situations: speaking up around other people while Sanderson hangs behind H.P. However, there are times when it's appropriate for Longwood to defer; he recognizes those times and does, as he does respect Sanderson despite their rivalry. Longwood believes Pixies should be united and wouldn't fight with Sanderson in front of people they're supposed to impress.

Smith - Rumor has it that H.P. might name another pixie, Smith, his heir instead of Longwood at the last possible minute, no longer needing a pacifist around once he’s on death’s doorstep. Longwood lies awake at night wondering if his position has been a joke all along and making plans to escape Smith, who will certainly kill Longwood if he does indeed take over. When you’ve got someone like Smith breathing down your freckled neck, you don’t have time to worry about your whiny roommate.

Generally, you'll never see Longwood and Smith in the same room. They're both gynes, and that tends to go poorly. Smith has lashed out at Longwood and even overthrown him multiple times, and only other people interfering has reined him in again. The best adjective for Longwood's feelings for him is "Paranoia." He sort of respects him, but skirts him at every opportunity. Not one to attend his presentations in the conference room.

Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda - As a fellow follower of Zodii philosophies, Longwood holds great respect for the High Count and Countess. Longwood strives to balance the beliefs of Fairies and Anti-Fairies and is proud of his own Zodii knowledge.

That said, Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda aren't his favorite people to work with. While he does respect them, he considers them chaotic and cruel, which goes against his plan to move the Pixies closer to neutrality.

Jorgen - Longwood respects Jorgen as an important political figure, as Jorgen speaks for the Fairies in many situations. Longwood believes the Pixies should be neutral instead of favoring either Fairies or Anti-Fairies, so one of his main goals is to foster a better relationship with Jorgen (or the next Keeper of Da Rules) than the relationship Jorgen has with H.P. Longwood isn't one to discuss feelings easily, but he does admire Jorgen's relationship with the Tooth Fairy and would certainly confide in him under the right circumstances.

Jorgen has never been fond of Pixies and is pretty dismissive of them, Longwood included. He acknowledges Longwood as next in line to be Head Pixie and they have an acceptable business relationship since it's likely they'll work together someday. Jorgen respects Longwood's opinions in some circumstances, though he generally sees him as "In the way, but less annoying than the old H.P."

TRIVIA

- Born with Wolbachia pipientis, and with a broken fairy crown under his hat.

- As pixies are genetically identical, a DNA test would identify his parents as Fergus Whimsifinado’s parents (Ambrosine and Solara).

- If his offspring step on cracks, Anti-Fairies will break his back.

- I created Longwood because I always thought it odd that even though H.P. clearly likes Sanderson enough to let him follow him around and assist with his schemes, Sanderson doesn't seem critical to keeping Pixies Inc. running and his only known job in the canon was working at the complaints department, which isn't very glamorous. If Sanderson isn't the real high-up of Pixies Inc., it created the perfect opportunity for a rival pixie OC to take his place.

- I once had a teacher named Smallwood and I've always wanted to name a character that since it sounds cute. Longwood is the opposite of Smallwood, with the idea being that the guy with "a tall name" is a good rival for puny Sanderson.

- The name Mayfleet comes from the protagonist of The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau (Lina Mayfleet). Longwood's mother figure, China, was given this name since her name rhymes with Lina. Lina works as a messenger, so it was a fitting name for Longwood the errand boy too.

- Doesn't identify with the Whimsifinado surname. Normally uses the surname Longwood to avoid sideways looks, but identifies with Mayfleet despite H.P. divorcing China while Longwood was still young.

- I give fae "alphabet hair" when possible (mimicking Poof's P and Foop's F hair curls). Longwood's hair is like an L lying on its side.

- Longwood is one of very few pixies who will obey the commands of authority figures without checking in with H.P. first. This has to do with him being a gyne instead of a drone. Drone pixies automatically defer to the most dominant gyne in the area- In this case, that would be the Head Pixie. Being a gyne himself, Longwood lacks this instinct.

- If given a choice, Longwood would have preferred Sanderson be vice president instead of him. He feels like he was made to take a lot of heavy responsibility he never asked for, and hates the idea that "some kind of instinct" led H.P. to give him that role. Longwood often feels undeserving the role and wishes he didn't have to deal with Sanderson judging him all the time.

- Longwood is one of very few pixies that the Head Pixie doesn’t share Santa Claus powers with during Gray Tuesday. He needs to run the company while the others rest.

- Other pixies stereotype Longwood as being into flings, but he's an old-fashioned romantic who's into committed relationships.

- Although Sanderson and Longwood are rivals, their anti-pixie counterparts are friends. They party together and get into trouble, though Anti-Sanderson doesn't treat his younger brother very well.

- Sanderson can drive cars, but Longwood can't (since one of the key traits of his anti-pixie counterpart is that he drives around Anti-Pixie World in a pink Barbie-style Jeep). That Jeep somehow ended up in Anti-Marigold's possession before Poof and Foop entered high school

See also, "Opinion"

- Longwood has a poor sense of what behaviors are or are not considered scandalous, as he was taught to suppress emotions from a young age and H.P. isn't a great teacher. He considers holding hands to be pretty spicy.

- Wolbachia pipientis prevents him from bearing children the traditional way. It also blocks all other STDs. Neat benefit, but not much impact on a sex-repulsed guy.

- Can pass theory of mind tasks that many drones can't. Always felt like an oddball as a child compared to the other pixies.

- His preferred password is 0rang3 ju1c3.

- Of all my FOP OCs, Longwood is probably my favorite. He's great at filling the role I needed him to and I really enjoy writing him.

Bio: Dusty is the firstborn son of Dusty Sr. and Ember Fairywinkle (Nana Cadabra). Since birth, he's carried heavy expectations on his shoulders. As a child, Dusty developed into a gyne: a large, freckled Fairy on the path to developing into a "queen bee." While gynes are often feared and regarded with caution, his parents couldn't have been more thrilled. Who doesn't want the heir to the family business - Heck, their entire estate - predisposed to bulk and brawn?

Ember and Dusty Sr. insisted he was well-educated, well-tutored, and set him up well in life. Dusty Jr. learned quickly that asking to take things slower - or searching for other paths than the one they set him on - wasn't an option. Not for a firstborn Fairywinkle gyne like him. While he didn't enjoy studying, he performed well and took pride in his scores (and received praise from his parents in the process).

As a gyne, Dusty Jr. took many grappling classes and occasionally fought other gynes in his general age group. His badge (Legally required to be worn on upper school property) is a red star. If this lore sounds unfamiliar, remember that Poof's gyne badge is a red heart.

Dusty Jr.'s life is best described as "maintaining a cool exterior while suffering in silence." He chases peace, fun, and beauty wherever he can, whether that's his secret indulgence for horse head plushies like Mr. Neigh-Neigh (See the Season 5 episode "Big Wanda") or the affair he had on his honeymoon with a will o' the wisp that landed him pregnant with Blonda and Wanda and no easy way out.

He cares deeply for Serena, though from her view, their relationship might be best described as "cordial." Suffice to say, she never forgave him for the affair, but puts on the impression that she did.

To most people, Dusty Jr. comes off as intimidating. When left to his own devices, he's reserved and quiet. He'd love a life of raising his daughters in the privacy of his own home, but sadly, duty calls. He's done his best to live up to the Fairywinkle legacy. Despite some attempt to shield his daughters from the darker side of his work, he does layer certain pressure and expectations on them, as his parents before him.

It's no secret that Serena runs the home and hosts most events for their large family, but Dusty Jr. is a very engaged grandfather. He knows all his nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and his siblings' grandchildren. He blatantly favors Poof - the eldest and a gyne like him - but while a few grandkids may feel slightly bitter, he does an excellent job in expressing affection to all of them so no one can say they've been left out.

He's now raising Poof to take over the family business... and - in theory - raising Poof to publicly kill him one day to ensure the Pixies don't swoop in and try to steal his business. See also, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Pixies.

His anti-fairy counterpart is Anti-Buster: the First General who helped raise Anti-Cosmo (and who shows up multiple times in Frayed Knots). Allegedly, Dusty Jr. is seeing Mama Cosma in secret, which is a huge no-no for members of the common fairy subspecies (whose culture strongly rejects serial monogamy). Serena doesn't stop him, but it's safe to say she knows... and that the estate yidreamu has been dead for longer than they would ever publicly admit.

Birthday: Winter of the White Peaks (Soil)

Height: 3′8″ (Tall for a fae)

Age During Frozen Timestream: 648,598 (Mentally 57)

About 96k years younger than H.P.; about 4k years younger than Mama Cosma

Age As of Devil’s Backbone: 811,858 (Mentally 72)

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

MBTI: INFP

Love Language: Acts of service

Handedness: Left dominant

Hometown: Starglint Town - Small, somewhat wealthy town located in the woods not far from Emper (where the Cosmas live)

Core: Teapot

Core Color: Purple (Layer 1 Pink; Layer 2 Yellow)

Crown Lift: High

Wand Type: Ipewood

Fagiggly Color: Purple

Preferred Shapeshifting Form: Raccoon

Bio: Serena's life revolves around giving her time and energy to others. She helped raise her younger siblings, went into the teaching profession, married young, and has raised her husband's affair children ever since. If Big Daddy is the man you don't want to mess with lest he "take care of things," Serena's the one you don't want to tick off lest you lose her interest in "taking care of things." She has her thumbs in the pies of many important social and childcare programs across Fairy World. Is losing your healthcare a risk you want to take?

Serena met Dusty Jr. at his half-brother's coming-of-age ceremony and later married married him (Both mentally ~23). She is not the biological mother of his daughters (That would be Kylia Swiftspark), but she's treated them as her own as best she can... though she may have favored Blonda more than Wanda.

Today, Serena is a Spellementary School teacher who focuses on the cohort above Poof and Foop. She cares deeply for her students and doesn't tolerate bullying or hazing in her classroom. She does her best to push her students, though many would say she puts them on the spot as if grilling them in an examination room. Both Poof and Foop refer to her as "Nonna" even though Foop is an Anti-Fairy. She appeared in "Looking Back," "I Just Live Here," and Frayed Knots chapters 41 & 42.

Foop is Dusty and Serena's garmhac- The grandson of their counterparts

In her personal life, Serena hosts large dinners, community events, social groups, and gatherings at her home. Family is very important to her, though the apron strings between her and Wanda have unraveled across the years. Despite the affair that soured their relationship, she does wish to maintain good faith ties with her husband. She does what she can to keep this ruffled family from breaking at the seams.

Anti-Serena isn't in the lives of Anti-Wanda, Anti-Wendy, or the Anti-Fairywinkle family at all.

Additional Family Notes

- The Fairywinkle family are well-known for their cherry almond pheromones. It's very strong in their line, so all family members have this scent unless they married into the family or they were born of someone with stronger pheromones (Unlikely).

- Both the Fairywinkle and Wildwisp families speak Lialia at home (Italian parallel). In "I Just Live Here," Poof noted that some of his second cousins only speak Lialia (not Snobbish, the English parallel) and that he wasn't bothered by the language barrier as a baby since he was used to people not understanding him

The Fairywinkle family is large. In-story, Poof refers to many people as "his cousins" even though they are his second cousins. He also knows some people who are technically his second cousins' cousins (no immediate relation to him), but they're still classed as cousins. Since being embraced in the Fairywinkle family, it's expected that he know and care about these individuals, even if he's not biologically close to them.

- Big Daddy has a half-brother named Bryndin, who was born for political reasons (to provide the ruling Anti-Fairy family with a biological heir when they asked for one); Anti-Bryndin is High Count when Anti-Cosmo is born (See also, the Anti-Coppertalon family tree).

Big Daddy and Bryndin share their mother (Ember), but have different fathers: Dusty Fairywinkle Sr. (Common fairy) and Henrie Northfeather (Swanee).

- Big Daddy accepts Cosmo in the family with little complaint, though he does think Wanda could have done better.

- Fairy World looks negatively at twins, especially the second in a set of identical twins, due to a belief that they have a connection with Anti-Fairies (who are also lookalikes who appear after childbirth). Due to this, Blonda's existence was largely shielded from the public. Publicly, she was treated as her father's drone son, Walter, until she renounced that life and embraced being a woman.

Blonda was seen as Walter in the Origin of the Pixies Chapter 36. In Frayed Knots, Anti-Cosmo meets her after she's come out publicly as Blonda (end of Chapter 30).

- Westley Periwinkle (Blonda's ward) occasionally stays in the Fairywinkle home. Poof considers him a cousin; we saw them together in "I Just Live Here."

- Cosmo and Wanda's second child, Dusty the Third, is named after Wanda's father.

- Poof is much closer to the Fairywinkle side of his family than the Cosma side, and his brother Dusty is the opposite. He often stays with his grandparents at their Starglint Town estate during school breaks and/or when his parents are busy with a godkid.

- Poof's relationship with his Fairywinkle family is a major plot point in Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Pixies.

- The Fairywinkle family carries a very rare gene for lateral spots: freckles down the sides of their torsos, but which are only visible in gyne offspring. As far as it matters in Cloudlands AU, Poof and Big Daddy are the only two Fairies who show lateral spots. Big Daddy pointed this out to Poof in "I Just Live Here" when assuring him that he's indeed a Fairywinkle because he wouldn't have that freckle pattern if he were adopted.

- Both Big Daddy and Serena's preferred shapeshifting forms prey on moles.

Hadley's Full Character Profile

🌸 Dimmsdale's black market and hunting enthusiast (Unrelated)

🌸 That one godkid Timmy was always cleaning up after

🌸 Remy's best friend

🌸 Ed Leadly's middle daughter (and the only one who didn't fight him about being betrothed)

🌸 Dale Dimmadome's Japan-loving influencer wife... Also, Dev's chronically absent (yet doting) mom

Slight Riddleverse ‘fic spoilers. Your mileage may vary.

Two AUs

Hadley's profile aligns with both Cloudlands AU and City Lights AU. While the AUs are not canon-compliant with each other, it was always the plan for her to marry Dale Dimmadome... a character I never expected to see in official media again when I set them up in 2018.

As of September 2024, Hadley's fate in Cloudlands AU has been tweaked to reflect the Dale and Dev lore we got from A New Wish Season 1. The original plan was for her and Dale to be betrothed and married without having romantic feelings for one another, but they'd grow closer as they raised their son (Dave) and took him around the world on adventures. And, well... At least the "got married without feelings" part stayed! 😂💦

As far as Cloudlands and City Lights canons are concerned, Hadley is Dale's wife and Dev's mom- Dave's been retconned, Hadley's hair is a few shades redder, and I gave her a triple hair tuft. The info below reads correct for both AUs!

OVERVIEW

Full Name: Hadley Arianell Harrington (née Leadly)

Preferred Form of Address: Hadley Alternate Forms of Address: "Ms. Leadly" (Past) / "Mrs. Dimmadome" (After marriage) / Dale's wife (Dismissively) / Mom (Yay!) Prefers Ms. or Mrs. Harrington; she likes feeling like she's built up an image without relying on more famous names to carry her (even if that's not entirely true). Only her dad is allowed to call her goofy nicknames (though "angel" and "hon" are more common) Aspiration: Build up an online platform with her influencer work without falling too heavily on either her dad's or husband's wealth... and be there to support Dale through his stress. Fingers crossed Dev goes the influencer route so they can be a cool mother-son pair, please and thank you.

Born: Autumn of the Crushed Rose

Zodiac: Love Birthday: December 15th, 1989 Hometown: Dimmsdale -> Dimmadelphia, California; USA Age During Frozen Timestream: 13 - Turned this in both 2002 and every year for the 50 years retroactively condensed into 2003. Turned 14 in 2004. Age When Married: 21 Age at Dev's Birth: 23 Age During A New Wish Season 1: 33 (34 in December)

Species: Human

Ethnicity: English & Spanish on her father's side (Descended from Dimmsdale's English settlers as well as Spanish settlers from surrounding areas); English & Irish on her mother's side. Nationality: American

Mindset: Immature and goofy, but she can take care of herself. Tends to jump from one thing to the next without cleaning up. Rarely plans ahead. Doesn't share much about herself with others, even with those close to her.

Hoarding OCD - Struggles to let go of things; doesn't like undoing wishes. Both her childhood bedrooms are full of stuff to this day, and were nightmares to navigate in her youth. There are still rooms in the Dimmadome home brimming with her things. Plagued by worries that if she discards an item, she won't have it when she need-wants it. Even after parting ways with her fairy godfather, she drove Timmy nuts growing up by living just close enough that her life as a hoarder was inescapable. ADHD - Has a lot of thoughts at once and sometimes struggles to get them across, easily agitated, angered or excited, struggles to sleep, loves to multitask, gets impatient with waiting periods, can be a bit perfectionist, seeks thrills, impulse buys, has too many project ideas and switches between them, struggles to prioritize, often disorganized [Combined with hoarding], struggles to get back into flow if interrupted. Sometimes has maladaptive daydreams (mostly about aliens). Sensitive to the feel of stray hairs on her neck, so she wears headbands to keep her hair back. Despite struggling to prioritize, she works well with deadlines (mostly) and liked school. She likes to feel she's good with stress, but she certainly has her limits (usually followed by splurges, treating herself, and starting new projects to procrastinate). Multitasking has its pros and cons- Things generally get done, but she may stress over them not being "perfect" (Picking up and putting them down, juggling many videos at a time). Her instinct is to post lots of videos at once and then none for a while, but that's regulated by the team she works with. Notably, both Dale and Dev fidget, misplace items, and lose interest in things more quickly than Hadley; they fall back on things they "always like." Hadley jumps between new interests more than they do (though she also has fallback hobbies she enjoys). Her style of misplacing things tends to be "it's the most recent item on the hoard, so it's not that hard to find."

BACKGROUND

Self-Perception: A bit of a Daddy's Girl, but also kind, adventurous, successful, fun-loving, hard worker who believes in making her own way and standing up for herself.

Unafraid to experiment with new things and likes spending time with her family. Loves to travel and "tell it like it is." She can be a bit all over the place, but at least she's authentic!

Alignment: Neutral Evil MBTI: ESTJ Deadly Sin: Gluttony Heavenly Virtue: Charity Love Language: Acts of Service Reinforcers: Peaceful creativity (i.e. opportunities for creative playtime, like brainstorming ideas, writing stories, and drawing)

History: Hadley grew up in Ed Leadly's mansion (S9's "Dog Gone") until her parents divorced when she was 9. She bounced back and forth between her mom's and dad's places for a bit and finally committed to moving in with her mom (and taking her mom's name).

She's on okay terms with his dad and stays with him now and then, but she likes her mom and step-families. She's on good terms with all her siblings except her older sister (Harper), who's very judgmental of Hadley agreeing to her betrothal instead of pushing against it like Harper did with hers. Harper has "love" or whatever, but Hadley's living a cushy life, so who's the real winner, huh?

Despite the divorce (and moving in with her mom), Hadley thinks fondly of her dad- Namely, the way he took her hunting with his friends every year after she turned 10. Doug Dimmadome also hunts and after a couple years, Dale joined in.

During the time the original FOP series takes place (Namely 2002), Hadley attended middle school and had a fairy godfather named Eryx. She wasn't a jerk rich kid to the degree Remy was, but she rubbed Timmy the wrong way due to her lack of thinking through consequences.

Ex: She ran a black market in school by taking requests for random things her peers wanted and then showing up with them the next way, selling wishes for cash. She never unwished them even if they caused trouble, so Timmy had to take care of her messes. He warned her several times not to be this blatant (and oblivious), but Hadley brushed him off. Eryx didn't love any of this, but generally told his supervisor (Emery Ranen) that Hadley was "a sweet and clever kid."

She did well in school and was a child of divorce shifting between two homes. She did a lot of creative projects with her mom and a lot of business things with her dad. She loves her step-siblings and crossed paths with Anti-Fairies often. She finds her dad embarrassing, but is very obedient when he tells her to do things.

Hadley participated in the Last Grand Hurrah during the Purple Train story arc (130 Prompts), meaning she helped raid the Fairy World Archives building. Not much is known beyond Crocker's comment in "Looking Back" that her communicator cut off when she screamed.

She was Remy's main support (besides Juandissimo) after he lost his arm during that event

Throughout her teens, Hadley continued her friendship with Remy, made time for both her parents, befriended Dale, and even bonded with Timmy once he and Sparky got into hunting.

Hadley married in January 2012 right after turning 21 (After her first semester of Junior year). The next year was 1 on 1 with Dale as they figured things out, searching for the right balance of intimacy and personal space. Turns out, they both like their space and not so many touchy-feely aspects, so they lucked out!

Despite Dale's reservations, Hadley always wanted kids and used to pester and woo him about it on the regular. To her delight, she conceived a year and a half after marriage (the summer she was 22) and shifted to being a mommy vlogger documenting her pregnancy, postpartum experience, and Dev's infancy- Young, feisty, and ready to take on the world.

Hadley spent more time in Dimmadelphia when Dev was a baby. From age 6 on, she moved to a schedule of visiting home less frequently. Mostly, she filled her time traveling the world.

She still posted a lot of content with Dev, but Dev moved towards the au pairs looking after him while Hadley got her wanderlust out by traveling- something she was very excited to do after almost 10 years of staying near Dimmadelphia. Hadley loves her son... she just also likes her "Me Time."

Personality: Hadley is best described as "straightforward, oblivious, snotty, and not necessarily charming despite her efforts."

She tries to buy friends with gifts and is a hard worker who puts honest effort into her studies. She's mostly chill and friendly, but has a temper- She doesn't like being told what to do. Unless you're her parents. She isn't openly spiteful, but she'll write or draw mean things about you if she's annoyed (and she'll huff or snap at you directly).

As an adult, Hadley mellows somewhat due to developing a (slightly) thicker skin against hate comments (and moving to a "Meh, I have more important concerns" attitude in general). She definitely gets annoyed with Dale or her assistants sometimes (and occasionally Dev), but is generally content with her life.

She was very stay-at-home as a kid with a love for reading and crafts. Due to her influencer career, she's taken up traveling. She reviews hotels, restaurants, and vacation spots with a focus on expensive tastes. She's pretty entitled, which grew from obliviousness and growing up in two wealthy families. Like her dad, she gets frustrated when people deny her things she wants. She's less openly petty, but very petty in private.

She's known for shockingly short turnaround times when she gets an idea. Due to wealth (and her husband's connection to Dimmazon), she can get products delivered fast. She also flies out to locations whenever she wants. Editing is the slowest part of her video process (especially with her ADHD).

As a mom, Hadley is more involved with Dev's day-to-day life than Dale, but not necessarily there for him. Ever since her pregnancy, Hadley's been using her son as clickbait for her vlogs. It's not emotionally fulfilling for him, but she has a blast, and what else are kids for?

She and Dale get along fine, though they may be better described as business partners than loving husband and wife. They work well as a team as they have the same motive: impress people and make money. They barely critique each other's parenting style or how they run the home since they don't make Dev top priority and the au pairs handle a lot of cleaning and cooking.

She and Dev have a mildly better relationship than Dev does with Dale. Hadley considers herself a good and mostly involved mother, seeing as she's the one who keeps better tabs on Dev's schooling, but mostly... he's helpful to her content. She's not great with involvement when the camera's down. She likes doing crafts with him just like her mom did with her, but the fact that she's recording all the time leaves Dev feeling a bit ignored.

Hadley is the type to respond to critiques about her content or how she mothers Dev while she does her make-up or a craft- She can be a bit sassy and petty. Same old temper, just less explosive than it was in middle school. She has a hard time leaving hate comments alone.

Hadley gets EXTREMELY jealous when anyone flirts with Dale, comments on her husband's looks, or if Dale talks to people (particularly well-off women she thinks are pretty) for too long. She can brush admiring comments off with a "Haha, yeah, I'm so lucky," but has very low tolerance for anyone hitting on him directly.

Despises Amanda Killman with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns. In Hadley's opinion, Dale is way too tolerant of her. Mikey Munroe - who is also an energetic redhead with the added bonus of being raised around drones and growing up to become a security expert like his parents - is on thin flippin' ice.

Get your own hot money-covered husband- She's been betrothed to this man since she was 16 and she put a lot of time into telling him he's cute. She's seen him work through his trauma; she was there as he built up his courage for holding hands and public speaking. Find your own man. He's not the most affectionate and he's not great at remembering special occasions, but he's hers.

Worries of divorce flicker in her mind (Especially when she's been away for a while), but she and Dale have made it this long and weren't lovey-dovey when they started out, so they don't talk about splitting. She hates imagining he'd ever leave her.

She brings Dale and Dev (especially Dev) expensive souvenirs from every place she visits. Her brand image is themed around body positivity, women supporting women, being self-indulgent while showcasing luxury things, being a mommy vlogger, and having fun in general. Her boys don't love having trinkets lying around, but they express due gratitude at the time.

She aims to be shameless, but gets a bit embarrassed and giggly if reviewing vaguely scandalous items. She likes them, she just has a hard time evaluating them in a serious way- Relatively common items like bras, bidets, and swimsuits can make her tongue-tied even if she uses and wears them. It's the social anxiety...

Even if she's not at home with Dev, she'll talk about life with her husband and son, which Dev likes when he watches her videos. Hadley doesn't always compliment her son directly, but she speaks highly of him when he does come up in conversation. She often cites past item review videos she's done with him, which encourages Dev to keep doing them with her.

Dev is clickbait for her videos, but he's HER clickbait <3

Education: Very knowledgeable about the middle school curriculum due to spending the frozen timestream there. Knows many students and teachers- As a rule, she's more familiar with them than Remy is.

Elementary School: Attended a private elementary school in Dimmsdale. Never had Crocker as a teacher, but became aware of him as he became more bold about fairy-hunting openly in later years. Remy attended the same school, but they didn't know each other.

Hadley's parents divorced when she was 9. She gradually became saddened as it weighed on her.

Middle School: Continued private education in Dimmsdale. She became more familiar with Remy and they grew to be friends. She was assigned Eryx as a fairy godparent and caused wish-related chaos.

Remy was transferred to the F.U.N. Academy for a while

Hoarding OCD had always been there, but intensified during these years. Also, she and Timmy crossed paths several times- They were on friendly terms, but irritated each other due to Timmy cleaning up Hadley's wish-related messes.

Hadley attended a lot of Cupid's parties in addition to special events like Fairy Con and the Fairy World Games. She was in middle school while time was frozen and established herself as someone people know.

High School: Further private schooling in Dimmsdale. Hadley's popularity from middle school carried over, with people still fawning over her due to "buying friends" (in combination with the friendly attitude she projected and her general vibes of being smart and successful- People enjoyed being her partner).

She parted ways with Eryx early on as she made new friends and grew closer to Remy and Dale.

Further Education: Went to a nice university in Dimmadelphia, had a private room, married Dale, and graduated with a dual major in marketing and communications.

She and Dale lived in the same city, actively courting (Expensive dinner dates, holding hands at festivals, walking through fancy gardens... Y'know). They married when Hadley was 21 (January of Junior year at university).

Favorite School Subject: Math... and History, and Home Ec. You gotta count the money, you gotta know the places you visit, and you gotta be good with cooking and crafts!

Least Favorite Subject: Chemistry

Clubs: Sounds geeky. No thanks! That said, she did play saxophone in band as a kid.

Friend Group: Upper class folks such as Remy, Trixie, Tad, Chad, Veronica, and Dale

Notable Likes:

- Winning people over with cool stuff she can afford. As she ages, this translates into flaunting her wealth. - School (Classes, dances, socializing) - Birds! Her fairy (Eryx) usually took budgie form; she has a budgie tattoo with white wings on her thigh - Living with her mom... No offense to her dad, but he's... not fun to be around. She and Mom garden and paint together - Creative projects (Writing, painting, filming, crafting, baking, chocolate-making, pottery... You name it!) - Often with Eryx or her mom in her youth and later with Dev - Bizarre or "ugly" animals (including Eldritch horrors) - Posting videos... and showing off her son (For views) - Making money - Reading by the window when it's raining - Trixie's annual costume parties - Nature documentaries - Cedar and pine scent... Reminds her of her dad - Anime (and learning Japanese). Never really cared for manga or comic books, though she's read some comics. - Aesthetic photos, moodboards, gardens, and food (like latte art, cupcakes, cookies, and colorful boba) - Mystery boxes (Bonus points for art supplies) - Shooting guns (One of the only activities she did with her dad instead of mom) - Showcasing beauty products and clothes - Being addressed as Mrs. Harrington... When she's with her family, she introduces them as "My husband Dale and my son Dev," leaving off the Dimmadome name. Since Dale's a billionaire, many people recognize them, but some people (especially young audiences or those less affected by Dimmadome influence) just know Dev as Hadley's son. - Bothering Dale. Just in general, by poking or flirting with him. She loves the thrill of them both being successful on a project, so they spin around in excitement and high-five - Living it up as the other half of the Dimmadome power couple - Saxophone! She plays and taught Dev how as well - Family vacations that let her film (Her thing) and show off her cute family (in a reasonable, somewhat clickbait-y way without relying on them for the meat of her video) - Buying way too many things for Dev. When they're out together, she buys him pretty much any treat to catch her eye (Especially if she can make a vlog out of it). Her content is a lot of her holding up her phone and talking at Dev (towards the camera) while he eats treats and responds to her questions (usually while playing mobile games) - LOVES doing food reviews with Dev, who's a notoriously sensitive (picky) eater. Dev tends to get involved with her videos and talks a lot more when he's participating in stuff like this than he does on the average day, which skews Hadley's view of him towards "Smart and social kid; I'm a great parent." - Houseplants... she collects them, but has been cutting back since she began traveling more often. Supposedly. Don't fact-check this. Oh no. - Cherry blossom aesthetic. She has blossom tattoos over her stretch marks <3 She travels widely, but has a special love for Japan (Probably from growing up on anime and pretty art). - Hot springs and onsen. Tattoos don't go great with that, but... y'know

Had Fairy Godparent: June 14th, 2002 (Age 12) - June 18th, 2005 (Age 14) - Plus some frozen timestream years

Favorite Wish: Paint manipulation (Ex: Paint leaving her fingertips and never running out)

Goals:

- Visit interesting places and try lots of foods. - Maintain joy in content creation. - Coax Dev into the influencer lifestyle so they can be a cool mother-son pair. - Keep Dale on track (and comfort him when he's anxious) - Start her own clothing line that outsells Trixie Tang's. No, she's not bitter.

Beliefs:

- Hard work pays off - Learning languages young is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Dev doesn't need supervision- Hadley watched anime in her younger years and she turned out fine! - Make-up, cute clothes, and tattoos are worth the effort. Live for yourself that way! - True love is a fantasy, so make the most of what you've got - Kids don't know as much as adults; they have unique perspectives and think differently, so their views can be interesting (if naïve) - Deadlines are a great way to keep on track. panik. - Things don't have to be sustainable or ethical as long as you're having fun!

Fears:

- Dale cheating on her (and/or divorce)... but if Dale ever did cheat and begged forgiveness, promising it wouldn't happen as long as she stayed, she'd forgive him as many times as he asked. This man is spooked by mildly annoying noises and jumps at footsteps in his house. - Still a bit socially anxious as an adult, but definitely improved with experience. - Getting mugged (or robbed/threatened). Can be paranoid when settling into a hotel. Feels a lot safer with the au pairs around. - Getting caught in a scandal involving a friend, herself, or Dale. Very paranoid her happy nice life could come crashing down. - Paranoia that she failed to censor or edit videos properly and everyone will catch her mistakes and poke fun. - Dev getting kidnapped (and held for ransom and/or forced into work like Dale was). - Dying, but specifically in ways that boil down to her being a dumb tourist or unfamiliar with the area (Ex: Getting caught in a riptide or tsunami due to failure to read the signs; sinking in quicksand; attacked by animals). - She'll fall in love with someone else and feel conflicted over what to do. - Cancer or other illnesses that would affect her breasts or uterus, leading to necessary removal. While more kids are likely not in the cards for her or Dale, she'd take the loss of those parts pretty hard, as she felt very connected to her pregnancy and came from a large family. She likes her body and would probably be self-conscious for the rest of her life, especially since she's on camera and has videos of her body online forever.

Upsets:

- Not getting what she wants, especially if she's offering high amounts of money for it. - People moving her stuff (particularly if they give it away). - Being argued with or bossed around. Timmy Turner should let her live her life; he can clean up her wishes if he hates them that much. - Being told she's annoying. - People (especially women she perceives as wealthy) flirting with her husband. - Someone mocking or breaking her artwork. - Riff-raff tromping through her garden (or filming space). - People who show up to potlucks or gift exchanges without bringing an item. - People handing food to Dev without asking about allergies (especially as a toddler). His parents may struggle to be there emotionally, but he's got an allergy card and they both know it. Don't feed their son. - Sometimes life is hard when you want to go to a nice restaurant and your son is super picky and slow to eat, so he pokes his food and squirms around forever. Don't judge. - When Dale dips out of vacation plans (or other film plans / collab videos / Dimmadome building tours) to work. - Dev talking back to her. Does he not realize she carried and birthed and fed and changed him? :( Look at these adorable vlogs of him in the bathtub! Look how many likes they get when they're reposted next to pictures of how big he's grown! Rude... - Dale leaving wet towels on the bathroom floor. - Suitcases won't zip shut (or break) mid-trip. - Dale not wearing his wedding ring (He forgets!!) - Dev standing on food preparation surfaces. Why does he do that. - Hadley likes board games and travel, but she lives with two boys whose idea of a fun vacation is staying inside the hotel playing with electronics. Devastating. - Why do her husband and son keep hanging up on her when she video calls them at 3:39 AM?

Comforts: Wishing up lots of things... especially plush blankets, silky pajamas, movies, snacks, and stuffed animals

Indulgences: Hadley's deadly sin is gluttony. She overindulges in everything she likes.

This can mean eating lots of sweets, buying 10 identical pairs of pants when she already has tons of clothes at home, projects she's working on, or wishing up a bunch of things that she quickly grows bored of but doesn't bother wishing away.

Owns WAY too many pencils (courtesy of her dad's work).

EXTERNAL

Verbal Notes: Hadley uses a lot of qualifiers like "Um," "I think," "Kind of," "Maybe," and "You know?" You can really hear it when she reviews products. She's a bit more comfortable speaking to Dev directly, but she does this when she's on camera with him and is speaking more to an invisible audience than to her son.

Huge habit of saying "Um," briefly averting eye contact, and snapping her fingers when she tries to find a word or what to say next. Her thoughts often run faster than her mouth and it can take a moment to get her sentences together. Many of her statements are said like questions.

Though she's more confident as an adult than a child, she tends to glance at Dale if Dev asks her a question directly (if Dale is in the room). She'll also glance around at other adults before making decisions (Ex: She'll try to judge if it's the right time to leave a party when Dale or Dev would just leave).

All this said, she tends to speak up more than other "background characters" (owing to the fact that she's a specific OC with a personality, not just random filler). As in, she'll throw in commentary even if not addressed directly.

Language: Speaks English fluently, alongside decent Japanese. Knows some Spanish and French. Can squeak by with bare-bone basics in additional languages like German and Mandarin.

Raised in an upper class family, her husband does business overseas, and she travels widely. She watched a lot of anime growing up and enjoyed studying Japanese

Physical Notes: Shorter than pretty much everyone in the main human cast due to her dad's genetics. A bit rounder and heavier than the others, again mirroring Leadly's body.

Like her son and husband, Hadley is lactose intolerant.

Handedness: Right Body Language: Shy and holding back in her youth (Ex: tucking hands behind her back, folding her arms with hands tucked under pits), but more confident and outspoken with age. Tends to make rolling motions with her hands. Often pauses and snaps her fingers when trying to remember a word. Tucks a bit of hair behind her ear often, especially while rambling. Hair: Takes good care of it. Owns oodles of hair care products, scrunchies, and headbands. Uses a lot of them, but tends to hoard the empty bottles. Teeth: Good hygiene; has used a lot of teeth-whitening products. Growing closer with Dale during their courtship definitely prompted her to be more grateful and thoughtful about her dental care, though she'd never tell him that. Scars: Very mild burn mark on her hand from a hot glue incident. Minor scars from hunting and past surgeries (Ex: Beauty industry-related). Hadley does like her natural body as she considers body positivity part of her brand, but she's done a couple touch-ups. Sometimes scars cause minor sensory issues, but they're fine. Tattoos: Has a tiny budgie with white wings tattooed on her left thigh- A reference to her godfather Eryx Whitewing (though she didn't remember he was a fairy when she got that tattoo). She has a pastel rainbow elk on her left forearm (underside just above wrist)- Her way of tying her love for hunting with her dad to her love of painting with her mom. She has cherry blossom tattoos over her stretch marks and likes showing them off. Somewhere beneath her body positivity brand image, she's got self-doubt; she likes being able to point to them in her swimsuit videos and say she's beautiful and/or that she "birthed a Dimmadome." She loves playing up the "mommy vlogger" angle even if she's not always home to do so. Also, anyone gossiping that she's not Dev's real mom can jump off an iceberg, actually <3 She tends to flash these tattoos at Dev when playing the "I'm your mother; I carried you 9 months and nursed you" card and he's just used to it at this point. She's done "getting my tattoo" videos and hopes Dev does one with her someday.

Style: Aims for eye-catching, unique, and fun with bits of cozy and professional sprinkled on top. Something that makes you pause and maybe compliment her, but reserved enough that her dad won't object to it (Particularly in her youth).

Regular Clothing: A blue sweater with a dark half vaguely resembling a paint splotch. Brown-black pants with white hems and shoes (so she looks partly erased). She also wears a white bowtie (Aiming for "Take me seriously; I'm doing business" vibes). -> She's designed after paintbrushes and erasers: the perfect blend of her artistic mom and pencil-pushing dad. Casual Clothing: Blue short-sleeved shirts, dresses, or tank tops aren't unheard of, but she'd sooner wish for cooler weather... because why not? As an adult who's gotten into influencer culture, she loves picking out cute tops to wear in front of the camera. Crop tops have become a bigger part of her wardrobe since she can't wish the weather cool anymore. Blues, rainbows, and pastels are among her favorites. She also likes overalls, especially for art or cleaning projects. Nightwear: Likes cute and frilly (Think silky, long-sleeved shirts and short shirts for pajama sets). Black with white spots are her favorite. Not a fan of nightgowns. Formal Clothing: When presenting herself, Hadley prefers not to associate with the Leadly brand more than she must (as she'd rather the name Harrington become recognizable); however, she'll wear pink and yellow pencil-themed clothes if her dad requests it for special events. Other: Likes flaunting swimsuits. Dev's seen his mom in crop tops and bikinis ever since he was very little; he's not easily embarrassed by his parents showing skin. Or by anyone else's skin, for that matter. Lemon-themed clothing is a huge no-no. We don't tell her husband about That Swimsuit...

Adult Height: 4′10″

Hygiene: Surprisingly intense, though not consistent. Hadley likes buying products and trying them, but she also leaves them strewn across her en suite bathroom (in all her homes). She and Dale have separate ones because he does not like dealing with her stuff on the counters and Hadley doesn't like him moving it. Also, Dev will always use his dad's bathroom over his mom's if those are his two options. Too much stuff...

Morning Schedule: 

Travel: Often scrambling to keep up with her plans. Needs to look cute! Needs to go out! Needs to say her script right! It's a lot. At least all the hair care and make-up practice from her youth came through- She's speedy at getting ready. Home: Wakes up after Dale, so sometimes he's in bed (on his phone or tablet) and sometimes not. Neither's prone to snuggling, but Hadley often wakes up with his elbow on her head. The fact that he sometimes loiters is a win in her book. He lingers more often when it's Sunday: the day he's most likely to take a break. When Dev was young, Hadley prepared breakfast for him more often. Nowadays, he's often gone to school by the time she's up. Sometimes Dev doesn't know his mom came home last night and hears her voice (or smells waffles), so he'll scramble downstairs to see her and give a big hug.

Typical Day Schedule: 

Travel: Sightseeing, travel between locations, and vlogging. Trips are often planned in advance, meaning she doesn't have to decide in the moment where to go. Sometimes Hadley will be spontaneous, but she tries to stick to her plans. The au pairs help. Home: Returning home usually means a lot of video editing- Hadley does some of it herself and has a team to help with other aspects. Sometimes she's tired and needs to rest - Usually Dev's at school on Mondays, so that gives her recovery time until he's home - but in the summer, he's often all over her, wanting attention. Unless he's not... Who knows. Dev tends to be wiggly and excited to join his mom in filming when she's home. Hadley needs her share of rest (Often lying on the couch and mumbling "20 more minutes," but she's as happy to see Dev as he is to see her. Hadley's home life is a balancing act of getting her work done and seeing her baby boy, who's getting so goshdarn big. Hadley's home visits allow her to record the mommy vlogger content she dearly enjoys. For Dev, Mom coming home usually equates to her taking him places (like restaurants or plays) to rate food or other things with her. Sometimes they stay home to rate clothes, snacks, art supplies, or movies. Hadley loves doing these activities with Dev (especially crafts) since it reminds her of doing things with her mom; she's taught Dev a lot of cooking hacks. Against all odds, he can cook for himself and knows very well what he can and can't eat. Dev gets a lot of his "relaxed & smiling" default attitude from his mom; he's more likely to take his shades off around her than anyone else (barring Hazel). Dev's excitement cools off the longer his mom's home (leading him to slide back into his usual schedule and be grumpier when Hadley wants to film with him), but the early days are exciting, especially if she's been on a long trip. Sometimes they do an activity that plays into both their OCD, like coming home with a load of stuff (books, art supplies, groceries) and meticulously organizing the pantry, library, or craft room. The au pairs can put things away where THEY think it goes, but it's a big night in the Dimmadome house when Hadley and Dev dump a shelf over and arrange things by color or size instead of alphabetically. High-fives all around! Dev does not like stray items in his room due to paranoia that any mess will spiral out of control and he'll end up like his hoarder mom... Sometimes it's hard for him to organize the dedicated storage area set aside for him in another room because he's a child, so that's fun for Hadley. Dev's anxiety spikes any time he finds his mom in his room(s) unsupervised, because she'll just bring in bags of stuff and leave it in a heap, and he HATES that... It needs to be put away...

Evening Schedule: 

Travel: Evening may be filled with fine dining, museum tours, or landmark visits- whatever the day's event is. Mostly, Hadley unwinds after a busy day. Depending on her energy levels, she browses social media or calls home- usually Dev (so as not to interrupt Dale working). Sometimes she gives her au pairs a check-up. Home: Hadley tries to do most of her editing during 9 to 5- Sticking to a schedule helps her not procrastinate (Sometimes). That gives her time in the evenings to handle things related to Dev's life, like parent-teacher conferences. Hadley cooks dinners, but only if she's making a video out of it- often with titles like "Cooking X for My Lactose-Intolerant Son" or "Recreating [Notable Restaurant's] Meals From Scratch." Cooking is one of her skills since she did a lot of that and baking with her mom. She's taught Dev how to cook and bake some foods. Since her mom's still alive, sometimes they bring her in too, so Dev gets to have family moments... even if his dad isn't there. Dale is not good at being complimentary of food, but he'll clean his plate no matter what Hadley puts on it, so it's all good. -> Unfortunate running gag in Hadley's videos: Dev is super picky and doesn't like a lot of food, but Dale has no opinions because after living in abuse for 7 years, there's nothing besides lemons and lactose products he won't eat. Sometimes when the cameras aren't on them, Dev just gives his food to Dale who will eat it as fast as possible before the cameras are on them again. Hadley is better at engaging directly with Dev than Dale is. She can't always get his focus on board games, but sometimes she can get him to follow her on a brief walk... even if he walks slow because he's still glued to his tablet. He tends to whine if he wants his devices or manga, but they do okay. Besides recording videos, their most common evening activity is anime. It's not always the 1 on 1 engagement Dev needs, but it's something. If Dev's in bed when Hadley's feeling restless, she might bother and/or watch Dale. Works great if he's up working on a project- just grab a chair and scoot next to him. Sometimes she considers projects for the next day- She can get sucked into browsing online and impulse buying, but doesn't usually start brand new things late at night.

Sleep Schedule: Inconsistent. Tends to have more energy and racing thoughts at night; struggles to sleep. Falls asleep late and wakes up late too.

Travel: Tends to toss and turn in bed. Paranoid about her videos and watches them with a critical eye. Calls home, forgetting to check time zones. Pretty poor sleep schedule, but luckily she can start recording whenever she wants to the next day. Often feels exhausted, but she's used to it. Home: Hadley fidgets and thrashes a lot in her sleep, which Dale doesn't love, but he puts up with it for the times she's occasionally home. She can't sleep in "her" room because... hoarding OCD. The au pairs once cleaned her room and she immediately came home and dumped loads of stuff in it and came to Dale's bed anyway, so he's given up.

PERSONAL

Hadley's Family Tree: HERE

Relationship Status: Married to Dale Dimmadome. She prefers acknowledging him as "My husband" and avoids dropping his name as much as possible, but if she's asked directly "Dale Dimmadome?" she'll laugh and say "Yeah, we've known each other since we were kids" and change the subject.

Nothing against Dale as a person- She just wants people to take interest in HER stuff and not ask questions about him. If Dale is with her, he'll introduce himself big and loud and sometimes talk over her because he is not self-aware enough to not.

Dale and Hadley tend to discuss their relationship in business terms rather than lovey-dovey ones. They don't have pet names for each other and they're none too physically affectionate, but they share a bed because Dale can't make Hadley not and while they do annoy each other, they get along fine.

Nothing more intimate than deep talks and holding hands before marriage... Affectionate, but not infatuated (and certainly not in love). Not much changed after marriage. But despite their low-affection home life, they fall into confident, smug, almost lovey-dovey power couple personas when the cameras are on.

Hadley's amazing love life is definitely exaggerated for the audience and sometimes it hurts when people fawn over or compliment them for being such a sweet couple.

They actually do have some risqué things going on behind closed doors, so... some of the innuendos they drop when flirting are exactly what you think they are. Sometimes they flirt over Dev's head and he'll just look up from his tablet and stare into the camera (or make loud commentary about how they're gross).

They're certainly not divorced and probably will never be... but there's still married life tension between them. Generally, they get along great (Having been arranged; both worked hard to make their relationship work and have known each other for a long time), but there's some wobbly commitment due to lack of deep affection.

Some weeks Dale and Hadley are on extremely good terms and can be a little gooey lovey-dovey, others they drive each other up the wall because ADHD, OCD, hoarding, owning many businesses, being frequently absent, misophonia, recording videos, and still being young parents (Early to mid 30s when Dev is 9) are a rough combination.

Betrothed to Dale: At age 16. They'd run in the same social circle all their life, so they were certainly aware of each other despite not being romantic. Well, Dale missed 7 years, but other than that...

Specifically, their dads worked this out as an option in their youth, pitched it to them individually, and they both accepted. I mean... Neither of them was ever gonna say "No" to Daddy.

Clarifying note: They weren't married until Hadley was 21 and doing great in college - Her dropping the ball wasn't gonna fly - but the betrothal was offered at age 16 since Dale is 3 ½ years older and it was time for him and Doug to finalize a plan. Since the Leadlys are multimillionaires rich enough for Leadly to drop 17 million on a spontaneous purchase ("Dog Gone"), one of his daughters was the ideal place to start asking.

Simple courtship. Mostly, Dale and Hadley continued seeing each other at the usual social gatherings, but as they got older, they slowly moved towards deeper talks about their future. Lots of showy gifts exchanged in the way you'd expect upper class kids to flirt.

Dale definitely took his time working up to, y'know... talking to people. Neither Dale nor Hadley trusts easily, both having come from families that raised them to be wary of someone taking advantage of them for wealth. However, their shared backgrounds and planned betrothal helped grow their trust in each other, leading to them both feeling very safe in the other's presence.

Married Dale: January 21st, 2012 - One month after she turned 21

Ideal Relationship: In her middle school days, Hadley used to date people she thought were fun and interesting. She wishes her relationship with Dale was more adventurous (as Dale is very big on staying in his safe zone and doing things the way HE likes), but she really likes when he comes on holiday trips with her.

She'd love to be a travel blogger alongside her husband, but recognizes that's not in the cards because he's too tied up in Dimmadome businesses.

Sometimes Dale skips vacations so he can work, which Hadley grumps at him about (Reminding him that she can make money via filming, especially if he and Dev show up for views, tends to coax him along unless he's working on a big project).

She's not necessarily chasing fiery passion, but emotional closeness- She had a positive relationship with her mom (who was very engaged in her kids' lives) but wasn't close with her dad or step-dad. She craves adult male affection along the lines of a deep voice telling her good job or greeting her with "Hi, Honey."

In other words, Hadley tends to seek validation from men and doesn't often get it. She's completely faithful to her husband, but there's a gap in her wants that Dale doesn't fill with his general struggles to be attentive and affectionate. Except for when he does.

Hadley would've liked more kids (Clickbait gold! ... I mean, she loved her big family growing up), but that doesn't seem to be in the cards at this point. She'd never scheme to trick Dale into more kids, but if he brought up the idea, she'd be instantly on board- she loves her hot(?) husband and misses her pregnancy and nursing years a lot.

She is not looking forward to menopause and will definitely be very needy for Dale's attention (and not subtle that she wants more kids) in the years leading up to it. Dale doesn't have a strong history of saying "No" even when he has misgivings, so... Preemptive congratulations on big brotherhood, Dev! Have fun with that.

Sexuality: Never looked into it. Does it matter? Her married life was set out before her when she was still in high school.

Can confirm she's allosexual and has a history of liking boys, but anything beyond that is a blur...

Intimate History: Sexually intimate with only one partner (Her husband, Dale).

Cherry lemon ship masterpost

Turn-Ons: Shiny muscles... And quirky gimmicks. Amused by novelty date ideas (like spas that let fish eat dead skin from your toes) and likes dragging Dale along. Planning dates is plenty fun- She tends to go down the rabbit hole researching. Sometimes that's more fun than the date itself, though it's devastating when she gives a plan to Dale and he looks at it, then her, and says "I'm busy that day."

She gets around this by planning things like picnics so he can be on his tablet and Hadley can at least pretend he's there emotionally

The mural of Dale covered in money was all his idea, but she supports it in full. She has one too, but it's in a room her hoarding took over; Dev's seen the room clogged with stuff, but hasn't seen the mural behind the clutter. She and Dale have a lot of photos and videos in the undressed-and-covered-in-money genre.

For better or worse, Hadley's just as into ranch-themed cosplay as Dale is. Hey, Pencil Nexus has a branch in Texas- It's in her blood! She likes rhinestones, boots, and hats. She keeps misplacing them in her hoard, but Dale will throw himself into digging them out if he must... He likes his hot wife in denim and cowgirl fringes.

She considers "Big and Loud" from Cats Don't Dance to be romantic and has probably sung it to Dale at least once while dressed like that. Did he like it? I don't know.

Videos are... definitely their thing, but those are for Hadley's Me Time (Lying bleary-eyed on a hotel bed with her phone glowing in her face like "Why is my husband so hot? When will he call me back?" and then she'll just watch a bunch of TooYube or play a mobile game and be fine). Are the au pairs scarred by the things they've seen? Eh, probably.

Hadley doesn't love divulging too much about her private life, so she'll make up random things Dale's into for video purposes ("My husband loves this body gel / clothing item / getaway location"), but Dale doesn't watch her videos, so it's fine. Don't ask Dev what he knows about his parents' love life, because it's more than he should and largely untrue.

Children: Dev Dimmadome

When I draw Dale and Dev, I draw them both with puffs of hair below their ears. Dale's are small and point out or down. Dev's are larger and point up, which he gets from Hadley.

In 2024, I reddened Hadley's hair by a few shades and added three hair spikes to connect her design more with Dev's. Dev is on the shorter side like his mom and shares more of her roundness than his dad's scrawniness.

Dev grew up watching a lot of his mom's videos and has appeared in a lot of them. They video call sometimes when she's not around.

Hadley longs to have more children, but Dale's not likely to go for it any time soon. That's okay... She's willing to wait. Hadley is the type of person who wants to name her kids Bill or Buck (after money). She definitely pitched these names to Dale, but gave her puns away by cracking up.

Notable Grandchildren: Practically confirmed she'll have some... What's Dev gonna do? Say no? ( 🦗 ♪ 🦗 ♪ )

Father: Edmund "Ed" Leadly

Hadley gets the shine and front point in her hair from her dad. She has his pale green eyes. Although I don't draw her in Leadly's on-model style, she shares his bigger build (roundness and weight) and is one of the shorter kids in the cast, drawing from Leadly's height.

Leadly is lactose intolerant, hailing from the Spanish side of his family; he passed the gene to Hadley.

Grandfather: Rufus Leadly

Grandmother: Eugenie Leadly (née Rivers)

Notable Ancestors: Robert Penn (Early settler of Dimmsdale)

Mother: Dolly Harrington

Hadley gets her reddish brown hair from her mom. Hadley's skin is a bit lighter than Leadly's, which comes from her mom's side. While not lactose intolerant, she's a carrier and passed the gene to Hadley.

Her mom is the widow of Wylie Kirkwood, whom she had two sons with before marrying Leadly.

Grandfather: Sterling Harrington

Grandmother: Mavis Harrington (née Campagna)

Fairy Godfather: Eryx Whitewing

Met June 14th, 2002

Friend and caretaker. They got along fine, though Eryx was nervous and Hadley never believed his insistence he had a girlfriend.

Full-Blooded Siblings: Harper Harrington & Leo Leadly

Also opted to move in with her mom. Wants nothing to do with her dad, which Leadly finds annoying. She threw a fit when her parents tried to engage her, so Hadley was next. Leo is 3 years younger than Hadley, but also lives with his mom growing up. Not out of malice- It's just the best option since she's a very involved stay-at-home mom and Leadly works all the time. Leo likes his dad and his dad likes him a lot in return. Leo's married to Ruby Cashulott (Another rich family in Dimmsdale; surname dropped in S9's "Country Clubbed," but spelling is my own for all I know. Ruby's mother Crystal appeared in my one-shot, "Whatever" and Ruby was namedropped as a friend of Hadley's in "Trying Too Hard."

Step-Brothers: Noah & Charles Kirkwood

Noah and Charles lost their dad and live with their mom; they are not biologically related to Leadly. Both are older than Hadley and come from her mom's previous marriage.

Half-Sister: Olivia Leadly

Younger than Hadley; comes from Leadly's marriage after the divorce from Hadley's mom. She's an infant during the frozen timestream.

Birth Order for Hadley Siblings: Noah, Charles, Harper, Hadley, Leo, Olivia

Exes: None known; she stopped dating other people after her betrothal was confirmed (if she even dated at all).

She attended the Dimmsdale-Retroville crossover dance in the 130 Prompt "Back In Action." Her date for that dance was Bolbi (Jimmy Neutron), but she lost track of him. Presumably didn't see him again after that dance.

Husband: Dale Dimmadome

Met in childhood (Technically crossed paths when she was an infant). Doesn't remember him well since she was young when he went missing, but she's seen the photos of them together as kids- Those photos were on display at parties even when he was absent. After his return from 7 years of child labor, Hadley and Dale went hunting together with their dads every year. They still make time for hunting... sometimes.

Celebrity Crushes: Finds some influencers attractive (Especially those with a focus on travel and fitness), but she'd never tell you that.

Current Love Interest: Dale...? Eh, close enough.

Other Important Relationships: As an adult, Hadley's built up a following who enjoy(?) her content... which mostly boils down to "I may have an affluent life, but I'm just like you guys! I'm down to earth and I do projects! Look at my cute son!!"

She has assistants, drivers, contacts, and online friends. Three au pairs accompany her when she films- 23, 95, and 88.

- While he was alive, Hadley was on good terms with her father-in-law (Doug Dimmadome), who always considered her bright and innovative... even if he thought it was foolish to try pursuing her own fame and career when she came from a wealthy family and had married into a second one.

He never really got the influencer thing and in all honesty... He was glad when he heard Dale and Hadley were trying for kids (and relieved when it happened).

Generally, Hadley found Doug's opinions sexist and out of touch as he'd comment that she didn't need to work and should think about kids, but they got along okay. He liked her and they went hunting together for several years- Doug and Ed and Dale and Hadley, and that's probably what won Doug over when extending the betrothal offer.

- Hadley and Remy are as close as you can get when you're both rich kids who put up walls. They lived near each other as kids and were both in middle school during the 50 years of frozen time (apart from Remy returning to elementary briefly to mess with Timmy and Remy's military school experience from "Operation F.U.N.")

They tend to pair up for group projects and school events (like dances). They were never a couple, but plenty of people thought they were. Hadley is familiar with Remy's parents (and the parents of all the upper class kids) due to attending social events her whole life.

Juandissimo (who likes Wanda) and Eryx (who likes Blonda) are friends. They love gossiping about the Fairywinkles and giving each other general love life advice. Eryx doesn't pursue Blonda; he just thinks she's neat. He has a girlfriend (Allegedly).

Hadley is close with Remy and gave him a lot of support after he lost his arm. Also, she thinks it's funny to claim she would've married Remy if his parents had set them up (despite Remy's deadpan replies that he doesn't like her like that).

- Hadley and Timmy are aware of each other. Timmy finds her annoying because she wishes up a ton of things and sells them to other kids, but doesn't care if her wishes cause chaos. Since Timmy can't unwish her wishes directly, Timmy has to get creative about it. They occasionally cross paths at special events like Fairy Con, the Zappys, or Cupid's parties.

Hadley's fairy, Eryx, is a huge fan of Blonda. He sometimes bothers Cosmo or Wanda for her autograph. Also, Cosmo is friends with Eryx; they use Leadly's hot tub together ("Dog Gone") sometimes when they're free from godparent work. They unwind with chat and games.

Timmy got into hunting during his teens (with Sparky at his side). Hadley, who'd been hunting with her dad since she was 9, has gone on several trips with Timmy and her dad (and Timmy's Pappy). While they've never been close and don't go out of their way to see each other, they consider each other friends.

Hadley really wants to bring Dev on a hunting trip when he's 10 and up. Timmy's daughter (Tammy) is eager to join in, though younger Tommy has more reservations and would rather play mobile games with Dev.

- Supposedly, Eryx has a steady girlfriend. However, it's a running gag that Hadley has never seen this girlfriend and doesn't believe she's real, no matter how many people actually DO see her and beg Hadley to believe Eryx is telling the truth.

Hadley is thoroughly convinced Eryx's love life is pretty sad and that he gives himself gifts, or that every time he tells her he has date night, he's just visiting friends in Fairy World.

- Excluding godparents, Cupid is Hadley's main contact in Fairy World (Compared to Jorgen for Timmy or H.P. for Remy). Since her father's love life involves a string of divorces and broken-off courtship attempts - and since Eryx is clearly lonely - Hadley regularly seeks Cupid's help for this and that.

She outright bribes him, so he likes her a lot and invites her to all his parties. Unclear if Cupid is screwing her dad's life up on purpose to keep the money coming in. He always did think she and Dale were a cute couple, but it's unknown if he and Hadley ever spoke about it.

- Hadley participated in the Last Grand Hurrah (Purple Train story arc). In other words, she's mildly familiar with Molly, Dwight, Denzel Crocker, and Happy Peppy Gary. Hadley keeps her feelings close to the vest and didn't really bond with them, but she enjoyed meeting new people.

-> Although she never had Crocker for her teacher, she's very aware of him due to the vague threat he is towards Eryx. She lets Timmy deal with that, only crossing Crocker's path when he snoops around or they're at city events.

- Hadley knows random people from Eryx's friend group... or at least, the buddies he gambles with and sometimes ends up in debt to. He's been in debt to Big Daddy Fairywinkle multiple times. Hadley thinks Big Daddy is interesting, but he definitely spooks her. She'd totally go hunting with him too if given the option.

- Hilariously, Hadley tends to run into Anti-Fairies while Remy rubs shoulders with Pixies. Hadley tends to forget Pixies exist and Remy doesn't have a good concept of what an Anti-Fairy even is... However, this changes once they start attending the Fairy World Games. Then they might remember.

-> Hadley is very familiar with Anti-Cosmo, Anti-Wanda, Foop, and a list of Anti-Fairies Timmy's never even heard of. Anti-Cosmo has tried to make her his godchild several times (Usually by taking advantage of Eryx's skittish nature or Hadley's hoarding OCD by offering her cursed items), but in true FOP fashion, Hadley evades that fate every time.

-> Hadley sees Foop as an equal threat to Anti-Cosmo (e.g. she doesn't coddle him for his youth). They're not affectionate towards each other- When it comes to humans, Foop is only sweet on Chloe and the Crockers. Foop enjoys messing with Hadley because she tends to be explosive back at him. He often flies off cackling while she yells at him from her window.

-> Hadley calls Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda by name (Compared to Chloe, who refers to them as "Mr. Foop's dad" and "Mrs. Foop's mom"). If you asked him, Anti-Cosmo would begrudgingly admit he's fond of Hadley (and/or boast about what he'll do when she's his godkid someday).

TRIVIA

- She was my first FOP OC (created December 2015). Her purpose was to be in the background and I never expected her husband to become a major character in FOP media, so I'm genuinely excited to write more for her with City Lights AU. It couldn't have happened to a better OC of mine than the very first!

- Top picture is her adult self; the one in her History section is her 12-year-old self.

- Her hair curl flips sides depending on which way she's facing.

- Hadley's MBTI is ESTJ while Dale's is ISTJ. They're very similar people, though Hadley's definitely the more outgoing.

- In her godkid days, Hadley was very proud of putting her own effort into her studies rather than zapping knowledge into her brain. Many of her wishes were about beauty products and cool clothes, but she enjoyed the process of doing her hair and make-up as well as reading books.

- Generally oblivious in social settings. Tends to be loud and blatant, but she's generally polite in face-to-face encounters... especially as she gets older. She had a hot temper as a kid.

- Her mom (who also comes from wealth) is a professional painter and gardener: Two hobbies Hadley did with her all the time as a kid.

- Her mom has a blood blossom garden; Leadly makes Hadley give flowers to people he's trying to sus out as witches (Ex: Happy Peppy Gary in "Trying Too Hard").

- Often visits Pennsylvania and Texas; Pencil Nexus has its head office and a branch there, respectively - (S7's "The Boss of Me").

- She's very good at shooting rifles- She's been hunting with her dad ever since she was 9 (Both in Texas and California). She and Timmy have gone on hunting trips with Sparky.

- She hums the Pencil Nexus theme a lot, especially if she's waiting in a line or doing chores. She's bad at sneaking around- she forgets she shouldn't hum. It's also her ringtone.

- Tends to pull the "I was pregnant & gave birth to you and this is what I get?" card on Dev. She thinks it's cute and funny and doesn't mean it in a guilt-trippy way... though Dev doesn't love it.

- She liveblogged her full pregnancy (in addition to things like decorating the nursery or shopping for baby clothes). She was absolutely exhausted after Dev's birth, but tried to put on the image that she wasn't- She strives to be authentic in her videos, but hid some pregnancy and postpartum details she was self-conscious about. It's not lying if you just fudge the truth a little, right?

Bought Dev WAY too many clothes and toys when he was a newborn. Used to do "My baby ranks the most popular toys" and "My baby ranks the top baby foods" videos when he could barely crawl. Dev was clickbait for a ton of her videos back then, with Hadley holding him up to the camera while she talked and he sucked his fist and babbled.

- She's strongly considered vlogging about life in a house of three people who all have ADHD and OCD, but it's pretty much been agreed she shouldn't put her family on blast like that. She scrolls ADHD and OCD forums and sometimes comments without letting on who she is, though. Sometimes she records the videos anyway, even if she doesn't post them publicly.

- Pretty much never takes 1 on 1 vacations with Dale- It's "whole family or bust" for her. Dale gets time to work while Hadley entertains Dev, Dev gets to enjoy time with his parents, and Hadley gets her family nearby- Everyone wins! ... Dale is not always present in the moment, but close enough!

- Like Dale, she forbids Dev from drinking lemonade in the house and/or around Dale, but doesn't talk about Dale's past with Dev. It's also a line she won't cross with her vlogs; she'd never do a "Tricking my husband into drinking lemonade" video- The public doesn't know Dale has issues with lemonade and Hadley doesn't put that on blast.

Dev watches every video she puts out. They're comforting for him, even if they sometimes make him feel sad or lonely. He lacked privacy in childhood and has been very exploited by his mom. Although neither of his parents is there for him emotionally, he tends to excuse his mom's absence due to her work travels more than his dad, who's home all the time.

- She and Dale signed a prenup, but Hadley definitely brought up the "Uh... If we're not in love now, what would cause us to get divorced?" question. No real answer for that.

- High-fives have always been her thing- It's one of the first things Dale was comfortable with (before sustained hand holding) and she raised Dev on high-fives ever since he was a baby (especially on camera, because it's cute). Until Hazel, Dev always saw high-fives as his mom's thing, so it took some getting used to.

- Like Dale and Dev, Hadley sometimes refers to people with the wrong name. Funnily enough, she doesn't get this from hanging around them- She gets it from her dad ("The Boss of Me")

- She can pick up and carry her husband. Doesn't do it much because he'll make honky, squeaky sounds and try to squirm away, but sometimes Dale and Dev climb on her to reach something.

- She and Dale both like wearing cowboy hats and boots, especially when they visit Texas. A lot of their promotional images (and Hadley's phone wallpaper) depict them in such clothes.

- Sometimes Dev joins Hadley on her travels (especially during school breaks). In City Lights AU, Peri thinks she's okay, but he mistrusts her and thinks she neglects Dev's true needs. He once got buried in a pile of stuff when she was flinging things over her shoulder.

- When she's lonely on her travels (especially at a hotel late at night, or watching kids play in a park nearby while she eats or waits in a line), she'll video chat with Dev; this is frustrating for him if she's in a different time zone. Sometimes he's in school and hangs up on her and then she guilt-trips him a little by sending him a sad emoticon (and the obligatory "Why won't you say hi to your mother who carried and birthed you?" message).

- She does a fantastic job of Not Being The Worst while also Not Being Great, but that's par for the course in the Fairly OddParents world. I love her, actually.

- I live in fear that one day, I'll mistype and say Hazel is Dale's wife (or Hadley is Dev's wife). Please tell me if I do... I've already had to correct so many misspellings of calling Dale her child. Did some evade me? Who knows...

APPEARANCES

Main Blog Tag - #Hadley and Eryx

Sideblog Tag - #RD Hadley

AO3 Tag - #Hadley Harrington

At the time of posting this, her two speaking appearances are in the 130 Prompts "Back In Action," where she's at the Jimmy-Timmy Power Hour dance chasing squirrels, and "Trying Too Hard," where Ed Leadly brings her along when he tries shaking Gary and Betty down for the Learnatorium (again); Hadley's very embarrassed.

Although offscreen, she was heavily referenced in "End of the World" when Timmy led Remy to her house so she could help with the cure for Juandissimo's fairy flu.

She was briefly mentioned in "Opportunity" when her dad put the pieces together and realized his daughter has a fairy godparent.

Her surname was dropped in "Entire World," "Solo," and "Looking Back," confirming her as on the Pixies' radar & as a member of Gary and Crocker's Fairy World invasion team. She'll appear in "You Deserve It" very soon, reuniting with Dale for the first time since he disappeared.

When she was created, the intention was to populate Dimmsdale for namedrop purposes (such as when Timmy or Jorgen are looking for godkids, or Pixies are doing paperwork). So... she gets namedropped a lot! She often plays comedic straight man for her dad as Leadly is... a piece of work.

In City Lights AU, Hadley's thus far appeared in "50 Words of Dev and Hazel." She'll play a major role in "50 Words of The Dimmadomes" and Dale's backstory 'fic, Lemonade and Papercuts.

She's also due to appear in Along the Cherry Lane in Cloudlands AU once 130 Reasons Why I'm Fairy Trash is complete; Hadley makes minor appearances in the latter project and so does her dad.

Dimmadome + Leadly family tree (via GenoPro); click to enlarge

- Dimmalonius and Francis Macdome Dimm appeared as statues (and implied ancestors) in "Lost and Founder's Day." - Dale Dimm appeared in "Which Witch Is Which?" and Dimmsdale is named after him; he saved the settlement from Alden Bitterroot's rampage in 1665 (See also, Crocker Family Tree). - Dimmsdale was settled by the English despite surrounding areas being settled by the Spanish; in Riddleverse canon, it exists in place of Los Angeles. - An ancestor - likely a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent of Duncan - founded Dimmadelphia (which can't be younger than the Electric Light Ice Cream Float parade in "A Dinosaur In Dimmadelphia," which hasn't been canceled in over 115 years). - Doug is responsible for changing his family's surname to Dimmadome (circa 1965). Prior him, they were Dimms. - Doug's mom (Griselda) comes from a family with a hand in real estate. His dad (Duncan) really propelled the Dimm family to being successful business owners, earning the nickname Development. - It's only after Doug (age 15) struck gold in 1953 ("Lost and Founder's Day") that the family wealth really took off, catapulting him into landing a marriage with the upper class Pearl Doe. Dale is the first in his family to be born in excessive wealth. - Pearl disappeared right around the time Dale did, playing into Doug's belief that his wife took their son and ran. They're not divorced... but definitely separated. - Doug (age 76) died in 2014, around the time Dev was born (to Dale's devastation). Pearl is still alive in Dev's childhood, but Dale has some... issues with her. - ADHD and OCD are extremely common in the Dimmadome family line [alongside lactose intolerance]- Doug, Dale, and Dev have all 3. Unfortunately, their family doesn't really "believe in mental health," so the first two tend to go untreated. Hadley also has ADHD and OCD and is at least semi-helpful to Dale and Dev (when she's around). - Ed Leadly is the owner of Timmy's Dad's workplace (Pencil Nexus; "The Boss of Me") and was shown to be extremely wealthy in "Dog Gone." Dev gets his growth hormone deficiency and hypoglycemia through the Leadly side of his family. - Hadley is a 13-year-old godkid when Timmy is 10. She was heavily referenced in the one-shot "End of the World" and appears in "Back In Action," "Trying Too Hard," and other stories from Timmy's youth. She appeared as an adult in "50 Words of Dev and Hazel" when Dev visited her in Tokyo. - Several Dimmadomes are referenced (or appear directly) in Lemonade and Papercuts and 130 Prompt #96, "You Deserve It." - ...... Hmm. Dale, Hadley, and especially Dev's character profiles might have more info on that mystery sibling...

Aingeal + Bellerose family tree (via GenoPro); click to enlarge

- In Yugopotamian culture, youth are given simple names and they choose a new, more complex name once they're wed to their life partner. Mark's adult name is Marqavalier. - When it comes to addressing her husband, Vicky uses "Mark" for Mark's alien form and "Justin" for his human form. She does know they're the same person (and tolerates Mark's shapeshifting shenanigans), but she tends to think of him as Justin. - In Cloudlands AU, Vicky and Mark [Justin] live on Yugopotamia, with Vicky taking the name Victriona in line with Yugopotamian name culture. In City Lights AU, they live in Dimmadelphia, keeping undercover as humans, so she keeps the name Vicky. - Vicky owns a fake-i-fier, given to her by Mark. She genuinely likes her Yugopotamian form and the extra arms it gives her, especially as she's trying to split attention between multiple kids. She's often in that form while at home. - Rufus is Mark and Vicky's only human kid; the other 5 are aliens. Rufus owns a fake-i-fier and can shapeshift like his siblings. - In Cloudlands AU, Timmy's endgame spouse is left open for readers. Tootie is set up as a very possible option, so she has no future family listed here. - Click HERE for a comic about Vicky and Dale discussing Vicky's kids and her relationship with Mark (Posted on my main blog).

von Strangle + Abdul Family Trees (via GenoPro); click to enlarge

- Jorgen and Binky are a gyne-drone pair; Binky is the gyne. - Jorgen had a VERY poor relationship with his dad, who refused to accept his son is a drone. Jorgen came out about his drone status during his father's eulogy and he's been out ever since. - Jorgen does not have a close relationship with his mom, whom he rarely sees. He's much closer to his nana, who taught him most of what he knows about being Keeper of Da Rules. - Yvainna is the Fairy Elder (Her title namedropped in "Timmy's Secret Wish"). The von Strangle family take their names from her and have devoted their lives to protecting her, Fairy World, and Da Rules. In "Minion," Adelinda was seen as her personal attendant. - Jorgen's cousin Leonard came up in "Cosmo Rules," as did Jorgen's distant cousin relationship with Cosmo. - Petalia von Strangle is one of Myron's sisters. She had her son (Jasper) while not in close contact with her family, but died not long after. Nana Boom-Boom traced her family line and found Cosmo, only telling Jorgen this in "Cosmo Rules." - Jorgen's niece (Ginny) was namedropped in "Fairly Odd Pet." She predates the ban on fairy babies. - Cattahan is the Blue Robe on the Fairy Council during Timmy's time. H.P. was butler for his family in his younger years. Cattahan's parents cut him off for his radical politics (Namely that Fairies shouldn't mate unprotected or reproduce without asking their counterparts if they consent, as they're magically forced to mirror them). - H.P. refers to Binky as Abdul Jr. and his father as Abdul. He and Abdul Sr. were in high school together, tensions high since they're both gynes. - Binky's older brother (Draven) is based on a character who looks similar to him (and plays a similar role in conversation with Jorgen) in "Abra-catastrophe." - Lotus died during the war with the Anti-Fairies. - Robyn is the name my parents gave the tooth fairy when I was young, so I gave it to FOP's Tooth Fairy too. - Jorgen and Binky took Westley from his parents and raised him together (The same fate that would have befallen Poof at the end of "Fairly Odd Baby" if Cosmo and Wanda hadn't tricked Jorgen with a doll). They took in Phoenix around the same time (See also, "Repeat") - Jorgen's family are pureblood fairies, so you see a lot of very long-lived individuals on the von Strangle side of his family. They tend to mate late in life (playing into old traditions). - Jorgen's twins are under pressure to decide which of them will take the role of Keeper of Da Rules and which will follow their mother's footsteps as Head Tooth Fairy. They're inseparable and can't bear to live separate lives, so their minds change all the time. - Italy and Fanny made their first on-screen appearance at a high school dance in "Approval," where Foop remarked that Fang's mom would be disappointed she hung the posters crooked.

FINLEY AND SAMMY: IN SHORT

Brief bios about Poof's and Foop's lifelong roommates at boarding school: a grumpy gamer pixie and a sugar-sweet bad boy.

MISTER GAVIN FINLEY HAMMERFALL

Occupation: Technically a full-time student; emotionally a part-time student

Birthday: Fourth Tuesday of November, Autumn of the Frozen Planet (Breath Subyear); celebrated once a decade on February 12th

Height: 4'1" (Tall for a fae)

Age As of Devil’s Backbone: 163,253 (Mentally young teen)

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

MBTI: INTP

Love Language: Quality Time

Handedness: Right dominant

Hometown: Inkblot City - Pixie World’s bustling capital city; contains the buildings seen in show canon

Core: Trophy Cup

Core Color: Pink

Crown Lift: N/A (Tomte)

Wand Type: Platinum - Functions like a standard phone; has safety measures to protect Finley from accidentally drawing magic out of himself, but can be used by others in emergencies

Fagiggly Color: Lavender (Presumed)

Preferred Shapeshifting Form: N/A

Bio: Finley was first namedropped in the second chapter of Baby, You’re a Rich Man as a name H.P. had been tossing around for his next asexually reproduced offspring; this came up again in “Think Positive.” H.P. was expecting Finley during “Entire World” and held the sleepy baby pixie during “Terrible Timing.” He was officially introduced as a speaking character in “Evolution Hopeful,” where he appeared as Poof's, Foop's, and Sammy's roommate.

See also, Eclipse House Roommate Squad

Many Pixies begin internships at Pixies Inc. when they're around 50, but Finley was sent to Spellementary School instead (Later progressing to Alberich Middle and Carl Poofypants High).

After his birth, Finley spent the first three years of his life living with his Fairy foster family, the Hammerfalls. H.P. COULD reclaim his kids after they wean, but that would mean dealing with the Terrible Twos, so he waits until they're 3 and rips them from their families then.

Finley is Pixie 507, making him H.P.’s second-to-last surviving kid (508 being Southmark). He's a tomte: a fae who can't use magic- In his case, it's because H.P. "ran out" after having so many offspring. Finley can't channel magic or fly. His hat doesn't float and losing too much magic - such as through serious injury or intercourse - will cause death.

In Fae society, Finley is considered disabled. He can only channel magic one day per year: Gray Tuesday, when Pixies are given Fairy magic (because Finley isn't channeling his own internal magic and is drawing from an external power source). - See also, Prompt 124 - "This Is a Box."

Finley is that kid who never seems to pay attention to anything and never studies, yet always pulls some of the highest scores of the class. He’s easily bored by social interaction and has low self-esteem due to the lack of attention and praise he gets from the Head Pixie. Not much interest in making friends. He’s a loner.

In addition to being a tomte, Finley is a gyne (as indicated by his freckles). When he’s in Pixie World and H.P.’s pheromones are in play, he’s subordinate. At school, he’s dominant over Poof.

Sometimes Finley and Poof dangerously flip-flop between who the dominant gyne in the area is, but Finley’s been staying on top so far. Mostly because Poof rarely gets upset, and when he does, he’s more likely to cry than fight. If ever they do get angry, you can be sure they’ll channel their feelings by playing video games. Which Finley always wins. Get with the times! Gyne-instinct fights to the death are so hundreds of thousands of years ago.

His video game obsession sprang out of a mention from the upcoming Prompt 126, "Look At That!" about one of the random items in Cavatina’s backpack being Finley’s DS. I took that and ran with it when Finley actually appeared.

As the dominant gyne on their floor at the dorms - and later half the high school campus - Finley tends to turn heads and attract the ladies with his pheromones. There's no steady girlfriend in his life (Not that that’s unusual for pixies). Maybe his princess is in another castle? Uh... sure. Let’s go with that!

He is very, very gay and very, very uninterested in committed relationships. That said, he has a vaguely "roommates with benefits" relationship with Foop's alternate personality - Hiccup - who likes to cuddle up to Finley and pepper his cheeks with kisses while Finley plays games. They don't really talk about it. Despite Finley being a Seelie Courter (and thus closer in culture to Poof and Sammy), Foop and Hiccup are definitely his closest friends... Probably because they've been sharing a room for most of their lives. Foop dropped out of Spellementary when the May Blossom War began ("You'll Never Know"), so Whistle Fernfire was assigned as Finley's replacement roommate... They did not get along. Whistle and Foop swapped places in high school when Foop returned to classes and bullied his new Anti-Fairy roommates. For some reason, Foop just tolerates Poof, Sammy, and Finley better. Now that's friendship.

Finley is one of the only pixies who can actually get away with calling the Head Pixie "Dad"... mostly because he says it in scorn instead of affection. H.P. doesn’t worry about him much and - for the most part - lets him do what he wants. Plenty of other pixies are happy working at Pixies Inc., so if Finley wants to go to school, that's fine... Just make something of yourself, kid.

Finley's studying digital game design. During school breaks, he helps Pixie World with deliveries and paperwork, but only if he has to.

SAMMY ÖLVIR SWEETSPARKLE

Occupation: Full-time student; rosewater station employee; struggles to hold a job for longer than a month

Birthday: January 6th (Observed)

Height: 3'5" (Average for a fae)

Age As of Devil’s Backbone: Don’t be silly! Sammy never gets old!

Alignment: Chaotic Good

MBTI: ENFP

Love Language: Acts of Service

Handedness: Right dominant

Hometown: Beastville - The city in Beast World that exists directly underneath Muckledunk.

Core: Yo-Yo

Core Color: Blue (Layer 1 Yellow; Layer 2 Purple)

Crown Lift: N/A (Huldufólk)

Wand Type: Kitnut - Custom (Sparklestick)

Fagiggly Color: Yellow

Preferred Shapeshifting Form: Golden retriever- & sugar cookie-themed Beast

Bio: Whether he's working hard in school or cruising town dressed in leather jackets with his besties, one thing's for sure- Sammy's a sweet guy who's always looking out for others. He's kind, thoughtful, and generous with his time. Huh... What's he hiding?

Sammy is one of the Huldufólk, and in line with their culture, he's a changeling child: switched at birth to obtain the milk he needed to thrive. Through a comedy of errors, Sammy was switched with a Beast child instead of the human his parents thought they'd be getting. Sammy's grown up in Beastville ever since, passed from one generation to the next.

From what I've heard, no one in the Iivac kin group remembers whom he was switched with in the first place (or how long ago it happened). Does this kid ever get old?

One could blame his Beast upbringing for his half-smothered tendency towards violence, but that would probably only be half true (and politically incorrect). Bunsen is in fact his foster brother; the two are quite close despite their separate species (and Sammy's move to boarding school). They both know what it's like to live in a community where you're one of the only representatives of your species people run into, especially when the stereotypes people carry about your kind aren't all that sweet.

Considering the back-and-forth life Sammy lives - one foot in multiple worlds and always feeling out of place - it's no surprise his core developed into a yo-yo. On one hand he's a very good student and kind friend to his classmates, always making an effort to sit by someone who looks a little lonely (Not to mention a big music lover).

And... that's as much as most people know about him. We mustn't discuss the changeling thing in good company- It's such a horrible and outdated practice. But, well, you know his culture...

Beneath that sweet and charming exterior lies an equally polite bad boy with a rebellious streak that can't be tamed. While Sammy's a great team player, he's not a pushover or afraid to stand up for himself... when he's not being bullied to tears by someone a lot bigger and stronger than him, of course.

Since he was raised in Beast World, Sammy's a little out of touch with Fairy social norms, but he learns fast. He grew up feeling overstimulated and finds Fairy World a bit unnerving. That's probably why he hangs out with Foop, whose wild energy isn't far off what he grew up around.

He's not had the best luck holding down a job... possibly because as one of the Hidden People, it's dangerous for him to serve others food. That said, he's managed to land a part-time job at a rosewater station, helping people refill their wands, and that seems to be working out. It leaves him plenty of time for studying, participating in orchestra (On the fiddle or harp, of course- He plays both), and hanging with friends.

Say one thing for Sammy- He can achieve a healthy work-life balance like no one you've ever met. His peppy attitude doesn't vanish easily and it takes a marathon effort to burn him out.

Foop's alternate personality - Hiccup - has a major crush on him. Hiccup spent much of Foop's childhood wrestling with indecision over whether it was appropriate for him to hang out with Sammy, as Hiccup sees himself as much older than Foop (See also, "Shadow"). It's unclear whether Foop himself feels the same attraction towards Sammy, but very possible... After all, who's more opposite a guy who likes good girls than a guy who's into bad boys? ... Has anyone seen Foop lately? It sure seems like Hiccup's been out front more and more since Sammy's adult wings came in...

Sweetsparkle + Iivac family tree (via GenoPro); click to enlarge

- Bunsen and Sammy have a very similar line of dialogue in their respective shows ("That bee/fishy gave me a kiss that hurt" - "Spelling Beast" and "Certifiable Super Sitter"). I needed a changeling family for Sammy anyway, so Bunsen's was the logical choice. - Sammy is one of the Huldufólk- the only Fairy subculture to still practice changeling child traditions in modern times (as they do not produce milk, but their babies require it). - Sammy is a changeling switched with a member of the Iivac kin group, who claim they "can't remember" whose kid got switched in return. - Sammy's grown up around the Iivacs and lived in Beast World before their move to Muckledunk in 2004. His "sibling" relationships change depending on who the youngest family members are at the time, as he ages at a different rate. - Once he enters boarding school, Sammy begins the transition to live with his biological parents, though he still visits Muckledunk for some holidays. - Sammy can fly, but often doesn't due to living underground in a family that doesn't fly. He got used to walking. - Iivac is a play on Caviidae, the family guinea pigs fall under. The other Beast name categories follow similar rules for different animals, such as octopus, bat, bear, and kangaroo. - In City Lights AU, Sammy's aging is closer to that of his foster family, so he stays with them much longer (and is more familiar with Mikey and other humans in that AU than in Cloudlands).
