Olyssa
"The Autumn Court lives up to its location and is often considered mysterious and strange. There is a wildness and unpredictability to them due to their season falling between Summer and Winter. Fae of the Autumn Court are known to be cruel and vindictive; they hold a grudge until their dying days and their tricks for those who are not respectful are often the most horrifying. However, they are also known to give the best gifts out of all of the courts and when a person shows an Autumn Fae respect, will often found it repaid thrice-fold.
Other than this there is very little we know about the Autumn Court in comparison to Summer and Winter. It seems apt that they appear to have chosen their home as the Ixchel Wilds, which suit their perplexing nature."
-- On the Faerie Courts, Lady Demisa
Appearance
Olyssa appears as a short elf with wild, vivid dark green hair the colour of the wilds she calls home. Her contrasting icy blue eyes can be piercing and often uncomfortable to look at at times, especially for mortals. When she is relaxed or feels safe she can be seen with two large almost dragonfly like wings. When she wishes to keep her identity a secret or visits larger towns these wings fold against her back, wrap around to her sides and become like a living tattoo upon the flesh which she can call upon should she have need to fly.

Skills and Abilities
As with most Fae, Olyssa has the typical gifts of glamour and granting boons upon those who ask - for a price.
However, her magic related more to the element of Earth and in particular that of healing. She might not use it upon people so much but Lysa has dedicated many hundreds of years now to tending to the Courts wild menagerie of animals it has under its care.

Personality
The term fickle fae was not spun out of a millers wife's tale. Olyssa is no different and her personality is as changeable as her season. As an unseelie fae, as is the case with most of the autumn court, she can have a particularly nasty streak. This mostly comes out when there is a threat against an animal in her care of if someone is rude to her. When people are courteous, respectful, or show a love of animals then Olyssa can be one of the greatest allies a man can have.
Biography & Lore
Olyssa's history spans centuries and is often hard for her to recall in any great detail. She does not remember being 'young' as mortals describe it and can often forget things which have happened only the week prior if she believes them to be unimportant. The most memorable moments of her life however related to her work and earning a position in caring for the animals belonging to the Erl King's menagerie. From that she has begun to create an indepth bestiaries that documents several hundred unusual species that inhabit the Ixchel Wilds. It is thought to be the only one of its kind.
