    Mask:

    An alluring young beauty, Sonnie Wu is 5'2" and lean-bodied, with a light, nimble step and eyes that seem to say "Hey, you know what would be fun?" Her reddish-brown hair often seems slightly unkempt, and an amused smile regularly plays on her lips. Sonnie is usually dressed casually or for outdoor activity. She almost always wears a pair of red leather tabi boots.
    Mien:

    To the eyes of Fae, Sonnie's feet are like those of a monkey: Toes as long as fingers, with one on each foot being opposable like a thumb. A long monkey tail protrudes from the base of Sonnie's spine, covered in hair the same shade as her head. It appears to be prehensile, and often moves to react to her mood and dances about when she speaks, like people who "talk with their hands." Finally, her brown eyes turn golden.
    Mundane Equipment:

    Smart phone, messenger bag, quarterstaff, 2 throwing knifes (concealed), 3 goblin fruit (changes by season), mountain bike.

    "Circe! Loving the dress, girl!" she gave the Summer Queen the finger guns as a sign of approval.

    Sonnie gave Anatole a wave, "Glad you could make it, dude!"

    "Sera!" the monkey grinned at her Court's monarch, "Looking sharp! The cape is a daring choice. I approve!" An affirmative nod was given.

    She tilted her head curiously at the Bright One, "Um, Tittie? Those aren't actors Queen Sasha hired. They're new arrivals, silly."

    Sonnie would smile reassuringly at her fellow Beast, "Bugul, hm?" She sounded the unusual name out carefully, then shrugged. "Okie dokie. And don't worry about Titania. She means well." She nodded again, vouching for the British Unicorn.

    Circe looks to the newly arriving Fairest and lets out a wolf howl, "Seraphina! Rhodes! Welcome sight the pair of ya together! Also I'm just gonna concede the dressing up ta ya Sera at this point." As she turns to to great them the twilight colors of the dress seem to shift and relocate. Purple and blue swap places slowly with the hint of orange here and there. Only the scroll work and runes remain static upon the dress.

    She then looks to Sonnie, "Thanks girlfriend! Might not light up the night like yers but then mine is made from the night, oh ho ho ho ho!" A blue hand is raised towards Sonnie in the one moment motion, "Gimme a minute and I'll think of some horrid pickup line involving light and night."

    Circe joins Sonnie in being confused at Titania, giving the space girl a raised eyebrow and ear. "Uh," she face palms and sighs. "Yes. Yes I suppose she does at that Sonny and often leaves ya speechless," she snickers as she looks at Bugul, "And with me that's a feat and a half as I'm the evil bitch that don't shut up."

    Anatole had been edging, slowly, toward the feast table. He matches Bugul nod with one of his own, content for the moment for his solitude.

    Titania arrival gives the dwarf pause and it takes a few moments before Anatole can extricate his eyes from the gorgeous Fairest. His mouth firms into a grim "U" as he piles food - perhaps a little too much - onto his plate.


    He senses Rhodes before the Flowering can make his acquaintance. How can he not? The sudden chill is a thrill of terror and an uncomfortable shock; yet it is also welcome for Anatole knows what that portends: a Mantle, strongly aspected to his own Court. The dwarf hurriedly plies his mouth with food and chews furiously, anticipating what is to come...

    "Ah ha! He he..." Anatole gulps, finishing off the last morsel. "Just the Changeling I needed to see. Anatole. Call me Anatole. Eh... We share the same Court affiliation, I think. I've been bouncing from one set of lodgings to another this past month. Looking to stick around, see if I fit in."

    The shadows pool thickly around the dwarf but the overall effect is subtle enough to be overlooked.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    An eyebrow was raised at Titania’s comment about actors. “Actors? I don’t believe I did, I must have missed them on my way in. Maybe you could point them out to me.” Though if she meant the two newest Lost, then that just wasn’t nice at all.

    There was only one Mantle that could send shivers down her spine like that, and a wide smile was offered to him. As he drew near, the winds lifted the bottom of her dress, nothing obscene, it simply danced and waved, creating quite a wonderful image if she did say so herself. She dips into a curtsy, as the crown had not passed yet.

    “Don’t you look quite handsome tonight! That suit is perfect for you!” she compliments, placing her hand on his forearm. “And thank you! It seemed like a good fit for this evening.” When he addresses the new faces, she takes a small step back, letting him take center stage.

    Smiling to Sonnie, “I had no choice, that rain is cold!” though now that she was inside, it was time to shed it. Let the full dress take effect. Gold and silver skin dancing in the lights. The cloak hung on a chair.

    Laughing, “Aw, come now Circe. You dress up quite nicely! That dress at Autumn was remarkable!”

    And it seemed Anatole was eager to meet Rhodes. And being another Autumn, she couldn’t blame him. It would be good to see more Autumn in the Freehold. She smiles warmly.

    I was a little unsure about the timeline with the other scene still up, so I played it on the safe side. If I'm wrong, let me know and I'm sorry.

    A pout is all she needs to clear the misunderstanding. Though, if the newcomers had been professional, surely they would have known that the Shakespearean fool was often the most clever and sane among the cast.
    Rhodes is greeted with a courtesy bow and an absent smile, for her attention is elsewhere, wondering whether any of the Onyx Court would be willing to honor the tradition and entertain their guests. She taps an impatient foot against the floor.

    Mien
    Bugul's face is goat-like, as are his ears and short horns reminiscent of the same beast adorn his head. He is covered in rough fur, gray in color. His facial hair is more apparent, with his mustache growing think beneath his goat-like nose and the stubble on his chin growing longer like a billy goat beard. Woody vines grow from his scalp and forearms evidencing that this being is no mere Beast, but something else as well. He looks upon the world with clear blue, goatlike eyes and walks on the earth with cloven hooves.

    PRE

    Fur flexes momentarily under the passing of an icy wind as the head of the Goatman shifts towards the Dread Lord with some sense of heaviness, as if weighed down by the abundant, thick vines within his mane.

    Though the current Sovereign has offered some semblance of friendliness, the Goatman's grumpy expression remains as he eyes the man warily. Bugul offers a nod of acknowledgement as the Flowering offers his name, but does not respond immediately. It is not meant as offence though and the strange Beast's face speaks of some brewing response.

    "I am called Bugul, Monarch," he offers plainly, opting out of more formal terms for address. After all, the Goatman was of no Court. Why would he address one within them as a master? "I am Courtless, but it seems there is one here who you might count among your comrades. I briefly granted him safe haven."

    A slow glance and gesture is offered to the rambling Anatole who is already introducing himself.

    "Breathe with ease," Bugul continues, "I will not remain beyond the changing of the Seat. Once that is done and my face is known, I will return to my own purposes as I am sure the Courts will return to theirs."

    Bugul had come to witness the changing of the seasons and allow his face to be seen. Talking directly with the heads of Courts was not high on his agenda, though admittedly Rhodes was the only one who had introduced himself as such thus far. It was a rare thing for Courtless to be welcomed easily into courtly politics and, thus, Bugul simply spoke of his intention to depart when the usual pleasantries had concluded. He was here for a time, but not long enough to overly intrude on Court business.

    As Sonnie vouches for Titania, Bugul's attention is drawn back to her, but Titania's lack of response on the issue does little to sway the Beast's countenance.

    "Doubtful," he utters, responding to the issue of the Brit's benevolence. However, he says nothing else, turning his plodding gaze to observe others.

    Sonnie, distracted by the buffet table, was only half paying attention to the other guests. Her tail twitched in anticipation, spurred on by the delicious aromas wafting off the food. Could she dig in now? Was she supposed to wait until the Winters made their grand entrance?

    Where was Sasha and Reed, anyway? And John, for that matter? She hadn't seen the Mirrorskin since the pool party. Weren't there a couple other Onyxes last time, too? That whole Court was far too low key for her comfort.

    Sighing, the Spring Beast looked around impatiently, and tried to focus on Circe on her puns. She tilted her head as she listened, and cracked a smile. "I think there's drinks over by the food."

    "Too kind, as ever Circe," Rhodes acknowledges the Summer cheerily

    Emerald eyes, a little larger than usual, rake over the dwarf, clearly intrigued. "Anatole. Charmed. One of the Leaden Mirror, you say? Excellent, excellent! Many of our cohort seem to have moved on with the season, so it is good to see another arrive."

    Seraphina did look stunning, yet again. Rhodes offers his hand to help her rise from the curtsy, and as she laid her arm on his, the icy winds whipped up eagerly, sending another whirl of red and yellow flowers into the air and a series of ghostly whispers shortly after. His lips brush her fingers and he gives the Nyx a roguish wink.

    The goatman, Bugul, is offered an incline of the head. "We have had several Courtless members pass through our Freehold. Though you have no ties to Autumn, your respect is noted." A momentary pause, before he continues. "You will not remain at the gathering, or in the city? If either of you are to remain in the city," he looks back across to Anatole, "Perhaps you both might grant us - by which I mean, the Freehold - a small indulgence to safety. As our foremost occultist and Pledgesmith I take it upon myself to ensure a small vow on both parties, for our safety and yours - if it has not been done already. Simple conditions and boons. Would that be acceptable?"

    The rudest of the two actors had definitely spoiled her mood. Breath with ease. For a Courtless, he surely was overstepping the boundaries. And now she was conflicted between joining the group in their ritual exchange of pleasantries or just following her instinct to drown the offender under a sea of thorns.
    Still, Rhodes steps in with the pledge and a rhetorical question, defusing the situation. Her eyes are still glued on the Goat, though.
