Changeling: The Lost ● Duchy of the Icebound Heart
I refuse to be a slave to love and a servant to grief. I prove this by breaking hearts and drinking the sorrow from within.

Mien
The Icebound Dukes and Duchesses dress to impress. Each member of the order has an angle to play, and exterior appearance helps to reinforce that angle. One Duchess plays the “troubled waif” role, appearing in the dress of a humble, oft-abused urchin girl. A Duke might alternately play up the role of the sensitive loner (clothes off the racks at the Salvation Army, white iPod headphones dangling from the ears) or powerbroker playboy (sharp-angled suits, polished shoes, engraved money clip). The changeling’s outward exterior always helps to reinforce whatever persona that character uses to get her way.
The fae’s mien changes, too. The normal trappings of the Winter Court are present, only moreso: breath of frost, icy skin, hoary eyes. Another change to one’s mien is the addition of frozen tears that cling to the character’s face. These tears are more symbolic than realistic, looking like frozen teardrops fastened to the cold skin of the character’s cheek. As one’s Wyrd increases, so do the number of tears. A Duke or Duchess with an abnormally high Wyrd score begins to have trouble at her task, because those tears seem to give off a palpable aura of sorrow. Those around them begin to feel overwhelmed by it ― which, as it turns out, makes it difficult for them to ply their trade in broken hearts.
