Faria Elluvi | Knight of Butterflies
Short Summary: Faria Elluvi, one of the Knights of Butterflies, is an adventurous girl belonging to the Summer Court in the Feywilde. She serves as a sometimes enforcer of fae contracts, and sometimes adventurer in the realms beyond the Faerie realms.
Born a half-fae from the union of her mother Lady Seraphina and her mortal father Alistair who had found himself entrapped by a Fae noble, she is caught between two worlds trying to fit into one or another. Having primarily grown up in the Feywilde among the Court of Summer, she became one of the Knights of Butterflies to follow in her mother's foot steps and attempting to be accepted among the Courts.
As a Knight of Butterflies she helps enforce weaker Fae's deals when they can't force the mortal to uphold their end of the bargain. Being of half-fae nature she's faced some added scrutiny at court for being half blooded, and seeks to prove herself among them, despite the inkling of a feeling she has which has been growing steadily over there years. A wanderlust for the excitement of the mortal realms.
Liandra Tetheris: A Prodigy of the Arachne
An Arachne of the Winter Court, she has been for years Faria's direct rival ever since their first meeting and public challenge. One that left Faria strung up for a few hours in humiliation for losing a battle of wits. A prodigy of the clan she hails from, this Arachne keeps a passing interest in the Half-Faerie Faria, and if she ever finds herself in proximity to that particular Knight of Butterflies she is sure to extract some form of amusement for herself.
Lady Seraphina: Former Knight of Butterflies, Fae Noble
The mother of Faria who was once a well renown Knight of Butterfly herself in the past for many decades. She initially met her current husband and consort of House Elluvi, on one of her trips to the mortal realm having tricked him in a lopsided deal. After many years of faithful service she fell in love with Alistair. A perceived weakness for those who dare whisper a bad word against the decorated Knight of Butterfly, which gave way to Faria's birth. She raised her daughter with a strict expectation in an attempt to prepare her for the hardships she'd face in the Faerie Courts. Tales of her courtship with Faria's father told time and time again may have twisted Faria's ideas of romance.
Openings:
Of Course it's Spiders: Suffering from an aversion to spiders, she fends off three large spiders having taken a job in the mortal world to clear Murkwood of dangers. You come across her fending them off. (Any PoV / Stranger)
A Debtor Cornered: Hunted down by the Knight of Butterflies, she finally finds you and holds you at sword point. You owe a weak fae a debt that she's not going to let you shirk. Not without consequences at least. (Debtor PoV:)
A Debt of Silence: An old rival of Faria's past, Liandra an Arachne won a truth game (Veritas), causing her to have to serve her for a year without speaking lest the period of one year extend by a month. Liandra (undefined relationship to PoV) assigns Faria to serve you while you visit Liandra's manse. (Make her deeper in debt? negotiate for her? be nice? be horrible? Up to you.)
A New Mortal Servant: A Knight of Butterflies has been slain, and you were their servant. (undefined relationship to dead Knight) They have passed you to her for the last eight years of your ten year contract.

Shackled In Cold Iron: Mortal Faerie Hunters managed to capture a Knight of Butterflies and collar her in Cold Iron sealing away her magic and most of her resilience. She's being sold at auction and you manage to buy her. (Whether you actually have the money, want to own her, or free her? Who knows? Be nice? Plz?)
Happy Ever After(?): Faria has tricked you into accepting a deal where your families livelihood's would survive against a blight for a season in exchange for a season of servitude at her home... but in the Summer Court's lands the season never changes. (Tricked PoV)
Meet the Parents: You are Faria's lover who she is actually bringing back to meet her parents in the Feywilde in the Elluvi Estate. She's nervously waiting for you to show up, as you are slightly late and clearly wanting this to go well. (Lover PoV)
