hmmm

Okay so for Sitara I honestly don’t have much. But I do know that fae liked plays and singing, knew younger Kamari (before fae became the High Protector) and thought to faerself, ‘I need to be friends with this fairy, then become this fairy.’

Proceeded to never see Kamari again until the day where Kamari killed faer.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

So Sitara’s Guardian was from the guardian territory. They have a whole thing about their heirs being perfect replacements of themselves, even inheriting their memories. (most trees only have one offspring that makes it to adulthood, and trees can recognize their kin. and transfer nutreints and memories upon thier death.)

When Sitara showed signs of infection and sickness, (Trees with exposed xylem are more likely than not to slowly die from infection) faer guardian kinda… disowned faer. (Okay we’re really getting the Anuli opposite/foil thing here)

Sitara wrote faerself off as “I’m probably going to die young.”

And was… okay with that. Fae wouldn’t feel pain or suffering because fae would fill faer life with so much happiness that it wouldn’t matter. Fae’d live a full, content life no matter the length.

Now here’s the thing.

Ankh came along, looking to be a healer instead of a comforter, the role the reciver territory tried to shove faer into. (Because they were scared of faer/fae rejected authority, even the Mother of the Recievers, and wanted to find an inconspicous way to get faer condemned).

For reference, healers deal with ‘post-pain’ things, like wounds and sicknesses. along with the occasional preventative recommendation. Whereas healers are more of ‘mental health nurses’ that deal with comforting fairies throughout the process. There is some overlap though. Most healers and comforters are assigned as pairs to a small group of fairies, so that way they know all of those fairy’s history and can better heal them. Ankh decided that if fae found faer own group to heal, that would prove faerself competent, then fae could find a comforter partner, forget getting the approval of the mother fairy.

(Now see, wiht Kamari’s singing and overall sweet underlying nature… fae’d make a great comforter… not that fae knows the role even exists

also see what I’m doing here?)

Ankh comes across this abandoned fairy that - according to most - ‘shows signs of infection’. Ankh takes this case into faer own hands and realizes that Sitara is just a little sickly and gets hurt easily, but fae isn’t infected. Now Sitara knows this, but the previous formative belief is still there.

Fae still thinks fae’s going to die young and refuses to live a bad life before then.

Ankh has gathered up a small group of rejects to take care of. Sitara - the sickly little singer who refuses to let anyone be sad. Aisfa - the sheltered optimist who hides the fear of being the heir of the Mother of Guardians. Nali - the pessimist who lost hope in society after losing contact with faer siblings. And Ankh faerself - the one who thinks society is a disease and seeks to fix that.

SItara faerself is the baby of the group and the other three - Aisfa, Nali and Ankh - essentially raise faer. Fae plays a lot with Aisfa and they feed off of each other’s energy. Fae got faer dry scarcasm from Nali and knows a lot of morbid things from faer… also Nali has a dark sense of humor and Aisfa finds that funny so of course Sitara also finds dark things hilarious. (And ANuli finds dark things fascinating soooo). From Ankh Sitara finds a lot of solace. Ankh’s the sort with quiet wisdom and Sitara learned a lot about herbs from faer. (Also pestered Ankh with lots of questions that ANkh didn’t seem to mind.. in fact fae secretly enjoyed it).

Now this small band of rejects is going to catch the eye of the fallen fairy system, a system literally made to rid of any ‘other’.

(Also considering Ankh has angered the Mother of Receivers on multiple occasions and Aisfa is the Mother of Guardian’s heir… who is sorely behind in replacing faer guardian… yea the group is going to get attention very fast.)

Sitara gets condemned.

Which sets the rest of the group into an enraged frenzy. Some stuff happens here. Hijinks and heists to free Sitara, none of which really work. No one beats the fallen fairy system. Nali has already put up a front of giving up. Aisfa is an absolute wreck. Ankh gets the steely resolve to come up with something to save faer. (Which is how fae met Kamari actually)

Thennn comes the battle of the fates with Kamari. In which the High Protector - who… does recognize Sitara, registers what fae is doing, wants to stop it, tries to stop it and can’t because of the elders. OOh there could be a trolly problem situation where it’s like ‘kill this one or you’ll have three more to face tomorrow. Make your choice.’

Sitara gets an eye clawed out. fun.

Anywho so fallen fairies, upon losing to the High Protector, get their dying mental self put into the pixie system as a sort of ‘justice thing’ (there’s a whole backstory behind this. lore and such ehhh)

Sitara, upon reaching the pixie archives, is in a bit of a daze.

Wasn’t fae supposed to die young?

Didn’t fae die young?

Nope. Actually fae’s now pretty much an immortal mental being in the pixie archives. And fae’s still trying to process this information. Now that faer life isn’t short… couldn’t it be painful? Does fae want to let faerself feel pain from time to time? Could fae even handle that?

Like fae’s fine with faerself dying young… right? Fae didn’t get attached to the friends, the everything fae left behind…. right?

Then comes along this little fairy who talks in such a strange way - practically in poetry - that has memories of Ankh.

ANd is alive. and could… possibly take back messages to Ankh. SItara has died in the real world already, so this is really faer only chance.

Now the issue is, this little theater kid has no desire to return to the land of the living.

Shenanagins ensue.

(From this you could even assume that Sitara is the main character. But nope! Silly Anuli.)

And sighhhhh it was so much fun to write up all this… but prose. Actual storytelling. it takes timeee whyyyy.
