ELEGY

.  LOST IN A SONG  .Bards sang the tale of a peculiar Sidhe; a mysterious and captivating woman who elicits inspiration and longing in the hearts of young men and women across Northern Europe. With a presence as ethereal as a deity itself, she whispered sweet promises of fortune, her words spreading songs and poetry like wildfire. For years, this enigmatic creature became a muse to many, her influence granting them the gift of extraordinary creativity. In return for this inspiration, she took something as intangible as it was valuable.How curious it was that many famous artists lived such short lives.But the fae are mysterious beings, their reasoning and morality woven from threads that land dwellers could barely comprehend. The Leannán Sídhe shall take what she believed was her due and what she deemed a fair exchange for the brilliance she bestowed. Not bound by the morals of men but codes of her own, she, who carries the legacy of many is seen as a villain in the eyes of those who suffered under her curse, for she condemned them to a life burned brightly but briefly.As an archivist, Lute is a collector of stories, magical tomes, and every kind of intel she can get her claws on. She gathers the knowledge of those who seek her out, preserving the tales they share while quietly adding her own. While she enjoys inspiring creation in others, she does so with the understanding that every inspiration comes at a price. She is not a passive observer; she manipulates, shapes, and guides the hands of those who seek her influence, all while keeping her desires and intentions closely guarded. Her presence is as beguiling as it is unsettling, and people often find themselves questioning her motives long after she’s gone.

.  APPEARANCE   .
Lute possesses white, wavy hair and opalescent eyes, which shift in colour depending on the light and angle. Her facial features are slightly androgynous, including high cheekbones and a sharp jawline. Alongside her ever-changing eyes, her furred, pointed ears serve as a testament to her otherworldly heritage, setting her apart from humankind. Many depict Lute as a beautiful* individual who exudes otherworldly charm, sometimes being mistaken as an Asgardian.She favours garments crafted from light, raw, or pastel-hued fabrics, often opting for flowing, layered pieces that accentuate her elegance. Intricate embroidery and subtle textures adorn her attire, while cinched waists lend structure to her silhouette. A signature accessory of hers is a monocle ; occasionally embellished with delicate chains and charms..  PERSONALITY  .
With centuries of existence under her wings, Lute is a keeper of forgotten knowledge, a being whose wisdom is as sharp as it is vast. Carrying the heritage of the leannán sídhe, her nature is one of intrigue and the subtle cruelty of the fae, unknown to humans, having learned over time to challenge human desires and expose their greed.Lute’s experiences have shaped her into someone whose defences are naturally high. While she’s quick-witted and sharp-tongued, her heart has been tempered by the years, and any warmth became but a memory of her early years. She may seem kind at times, but her kindness is often a facade, and it’s rarely given without something in return. When she makes a deal or enters into an agreement, there is always a sense that something has been lost in the transaction — a piece of her that never quite comes back.Said kindness may still linger in small doses, but is well hidden by layers and a cynical smile. She is not cruel as many may deem, but she is not easily fooled, and she knows that all relationships — whether with mortals or immortals, come at a cost.

abilities

.  ALFHEIM HERITAGE  .
As a sìdhe, Lute shares many traits with the Álfar, the ethereal beings who once left Alfheim and the care of Freyr to live among mankind and eventually adapt into the beings known as sìdhe. Known for their beauty, grace, and deep connection to nature and light, the genes of the Álfar run strong in her veins, binding her to the timeless traits passed throughout generations..  FAE FOG  .
The Fog is a boundless, intangible, and invisible force that every fae has the ability to manipulate. It is best known for the mischief it enables, allowing objects to vanish without ever moving. It is as if they exist and do not exist at the same time, caught between presence and absence in a way only the fae can truly comprehend.Lute often uses the fog to hide treasures and important items that she may eventually need, which sometimes gives the impression that she evokes objects from thin air and causes confusion among clients..  DISSONANCE  .
Lute can scream as much as she can sing and inspire, meaning her voice also possesses offensive qualities. Her screaming can create chaos when needed, and its intensity is so severe that it can make ears bleed, inflicting pain and disorientation on those within range.The effects of her voice are proportionally related to the proximity of the target, meaning that it will always be equivalent to how close to the caster the target is. Companions may avoid unwanted effects by using earplugs..  ENERGY VAMPIRE  .
Vampirism is a well-known trait among the lineage of the leannán sídhe, serving as both an inherent gift and an additional source of power to enhance their prowess. Deal or not, prolonged exposure to a leannán sídhe will inevitably drain bits of your life essence in countless subtle ways. However, unless you are directly bound to one, the effect is hardly fatal and the common side effect attached to it is some fatigue.

.  BEADED NECKLACE   .
The beaded necklace that forever adorns Lute’s neck is a relic of power, forged through millennia of contracts and passed down through generations without fail. Each bead holds the essence—a soul, of an artist who once fell under the sway of a Leannán Sídhe.Both a source of strength and a heavy burden, the necklace amplifies its wearer’s power, yet binds them to the weight of countless past bargains. To be stripped of it is to have the wearer’s power greatly diminished..  LIGHT MANIPULATION   .
Lute possesses the ability to manipulate light, drawing upon the vital energy she has collected over time and converting it into a luminous force. This energy, stolen in fragments from those ensnared by her influence, fuels her magic—allowing her to shape light at will. Whether weaving it into tangible constructs or weapons, bending it into blinding flashes.By bending and refracting light around her form, Lute is also able to distort reality itself, crafting illusions that deceive the senses. She can weave false images that obscure truth with crafted mirages that dance between what is real and what is imagined. More than that, she can use this mastery to vanish into the light itself, blending seamlessly with her surroundings and becoming nearly imperceptible.

trivia

Lute can't cook to save her life..  MIGNONETTE  .
Is the name of Lute's beloved, spoiled pet Old German Owl Pidgeon. They can often be seen gossiping together over a cup of tea. The only supernatural trait she possesses is her shared lifespan with her owner, meaning Lute is the one doing all the talking. Still, she enjoys listening..  ROUND & SMALL  .

Lute is so addicted to it that she currently ranks among the top three in the world charts..  RUNES  .
Reading runes is both a hobby and one of Lute's many occupations. It’s common to see her carrying a few in her wallet or placing them strategically, such as on the soles of her shoes, to attract good luck and maintain a connection to her ancestors' origins..  COLD STEEL  .
Along with her beaded necklace, cold steel is one of the few things that can seriously weaken lute during battle.

.  FOG   .
Sometimes, Lute forgets about The Fog's* existence altogether and loses items in it.
