History

Cosima "Coco" Tascioni was at one point an aspiring actress who took an interest in Jacobian and Elisabethan theater, her favorite parts of the play being the stage combat. By the time she got into college, she had abandoned the pursuit of theater in favor of the arts of fencing. She fervently practiced the sport but also sought out experts in actual combat fencing, joining a few medieval and renaissance combat guilds. If she wanted to become great as a fencer (and oh, this did desire) she believed that she had to learn the origins of the sport as well as become expert in it's execution. This intense training, combined with her naturally quick reflexes, helped shoot Cosima towards a shot at the Olympics.

Two weeks before her Olympic trial she was in New York City, her hometown, ice skating, when she was struck with a feeling of indescribable confidence and bravado and she shouted to the heavens that she was going to be the best fencer to ever live and that she'd forge her legend with an undefeated career! She made this proclamation before the great, gilded statue of Prometheus, where, unbeknownst to her, the ears of the Gentry dwelt. Coco was stolen while she slept and brought to the court of the Maitre Coutume, a Gentry who procured and polished up servants, curios, and toys to sell to other Gentry. The Maitre explained to Coco that she had been chosen for something much grander than a chance in the Olympic Games; she had been chosen to be groomed into the best sword servant the gods had ever known. For a time the magic of the Maitre’s court bewitched and enchanted Coco, but once her Keeper started forcing her to learn arts besides the sword, such as those of the boudoir, the ballroom, or more importantly, the art of patience and humility, was it that Coco began to realize that she was just a commodity in the Maitre’s eyes, a trapped pet to be trained and sold. She began to rebel in whatever small ways that she could, serving sugar instead of salt when she was forced to act the maid, offering double edged compliments when forced to entertain, or anything else that came to mind to foil her captor's desires. Finally the Maitre grew tired of her and gave her one chance to free herself. He said that if she thought she was such an excellent blade, and if she thought she was above service, than she must find a way to shame him, and then he challenged her to a duel. Coco lost, and to add to her humiliation the Maitre granted her a form that he thought was more suitable for “such a pest”. He turned her into a sentient wasp and she was forced to flee before he squashed her. However, the Maitre had left Coco her mind and she poured all of her being into finding a way to use this last weapon left to her.

Finally, Coco got her chance. The Matire invited other Gentry to his court to observe hunting stock that he had trained, both the prey and the predators, and he led them on a merry hunt around his estate. However, just as the Maitre was about to catch one of his slower slaves, Coco flew in and stung his magical unicorn mount repeatedly on a very sensitive part of its anatomy. The panicked and enraged mount bucked off the Maitre, which allowed the prey to escape, and in front of many influential clients the Maitre Coutume was shamed. Bound by his word the Maitre turned Coco back and released her from bondage, though he did swear to reap a horrid revenge upon her when she least expected it. Intoxicated by her new freedom and horribly scared, Coco fled into the Hedge and finally back into the mortal world.

Then, back in New York, Coco was found by the Fortress of Coins and helped to adjust back to the reality of the world. She found that she had an affinity for Summer due to her martial abilities but also because she found she had a penchant for irritating people for sport. However, Spring finally drew her interest and she decided that she wanted to embrace the gifts that she had been granted and use them to pursue her joys and desires rather than give into wrath. She worked for the Spring court running drinks or washing dishes, doing whatever she could to help construct a living for herself, and this included offering fencing lessons to various Changelings in the city. Finally she had earned enough money to provide herself with a nice nest egg to draw upon and she decided that she wanted to leave and start afresh in a new city. She wrote the names of cities she’d consider moving to on pieces of paper, put them in a hat, and drew out the name of Sacramento. Deciding she had no better ideas she decided to follow the path of whimsy and head to Sacramento to pursue her desires and build a new life far, far, away from her fetch and, hopefully, the wrath of her Keeper.
