Since her transformation, Maeve's human appearance has been amplified. Her red hair looks as vibrant as an autumn leaf whilst her eyes look as though they've been carved from precious gemstones. Before she looked weak and breakable but now has the fae quality of appearing to be all harsh lines and other. The most notable change aside from her now pointed ears is the change of her tribal ink. Once done in the fashion of her home, her transformation into a fae has turned these blunt, crude lines into copies of the galaxies themselves. Weaves of stars now decorate her skin in a mesmerising display of light and dark.

The skills of her people: Maeve is well rehearsed in the things her kind consider important such as hunting and fighting with a sword and shield, though she prefers the bow and javelin approach. As befitting her rank of Princess she is also well rehearsed in languages, literature and arithmetic.

The Borrum: The creature who Maeve can hear and appears to help her at times is a rare type of fae known as a Borrum. Borrum's are air-fae and only reveal their form to those they choose to, otherwise a person can only hear them on the air currents. As powerful air fae they have a good deal of manipulation over the element and are hard to catch due to their ability to turn invisible. Whilst these creatures are strong allies they are fickle and just as often like to see those they bestow favour on suffering for their own amusement.

Gifts of Autumn: As a babe the Prince of Autumn gave Maeve a piece of his soul. Once she turned 18 these powers began to manifest and she is learning to use them as her own gifts. Fire and air being the strongest of these, she can also sometimes produce dark shadows that are a unique ability of the prince's. The latter is the hardest to control as it is so at odds with her own, fae-blessed ancient gifts.

Gifts of Summer: After a deal made by her ancestor with one of the Summer Fae, the royal bloodline was blessed with being stronger and faster than most other humans. However, it was rumoured in the past those gifts were stronger still. Having been given a piece of a fae soul, Maeve's dormant gifts have now awakened. Sunlight and healing in particular.

Maeve is a fiercely independent and stubborn and fights tooth and nail to claw back control over her own life which has never seemed to be her own. She has a rebellious streak and likes to intentionally cause mischief, but she is ultimately loyal to her people deep in her heart. She can show an unusual amount of gentleness for people and at times could be described as quite a pleasant girl to be around.

Due to who she is and her past she is often quite shy or nervous around others and prefers her own company to that of others. She has a quick temper but she is learning to keep it in check. She is incredibly intelligent for one of her kind which fuels her curiosity of life.

Maeve was born incredibly sick to the King and Queen of the Ilcinki Tribe. As their only daughter they were desperate to save her. It was not unusual for the people of their isles to make pacts with the Seildhe, but they were made by the person when they were of age in return for gifts or favours. The King took his baby girl to the sacred groves and pleaded for her life in return for any favour they called. A male Seildhe appeared and agreed to grant the request in return for the girls hand of marriage when she became of age, and promised that she would live a long life in his realm. The king agreed and the pact was made. As it transpired the Seildhe had taken a piece of the girls soul and replaced it with a part of his own in order to save her life, giving her a touch of their magic and gifts.

Maeve grew up in a happy family and became a model Princess. She was apt in the art of horse riding, a prized skill amongst her people, and showed a true talent for the bow and hunting. Like all Princesses she enjoyed doing anything but her royal duties and would often sneak out of the palace to go on her wild adventures. It was on these adventures that the Seildhe who had saved her life would appear to her. At first, when she was younger, she treated their friendship as a treasured thing and spoke nothing of it, but as she grew older he revealed the truth of her parents promise to him.

She was appalled they had made such a deal and confronted her parents about the matter. The truth was shattering to her, knowing she would one day be taken from this world with no say in the matter. Even worse was the knowledge her parents had agreed to it. As her 18th birthday approached, the day she was due to be collected, Mae ran.

She had been learning of the lands beyond her isles and believed them to be safe from the Seildhe who had a claim to her being.
