My third and final character for my role play group The Woods of Penrith! She's spoooOOOooOoOOOOOky but also I promise she can be nice!! ROLE PLAY WITH MEEEEEEeeeeEeeEEEEEEEeeeeee

____


Name: The Bone Maiden, known to the residents of Penrith as the Tooth Faerie, referred to as "Tooth" by friends
Age: 795 aprox.
Presented Gender: Female

Race|Faerie: Tooth survives by eating the teeth of the residents of Penrith, left out for her willingly. She has the ability to sense the bones of creatures, dead or alive, and can see in the dark as well. She is also capable of walking and moving completely silently, and her fingers taper to sharp, deadly points that are harder than steel.

Occupation: Tooth acts as the Tooth Faerie in Penrith

Personality: Tooth is inquisitive and clever, and can be very teasing and playful. She also can be very selfish, and tends to act without thinking of others first, which she feels remorse about later. Mostly.
History: Tooth is one of the older Fae that live in the Wyldking's Court, having originally lived in Ireland, the ancestral home of most Fae. She and others of her kind were the origination of the Tooth Faerie myth, although the tradition of leaving fallen baby teeth out for them was born from a much darker tradition than most people know. As a creature, Tooth does not hunger after teeth specifically, but for bones; she picks the bones from inside of her victim and devours them, leaving muscle, tissue, and flesh behind like an empty husk. In order to keep her kind from doing this, the tradition was born to leave the bones of slaughtered animals (such as deer and other game, and cows and pigs gone to slaughter) out at the back doorstep at night, along with a bowl of fresh cream or milk, as an offering to appease their hunger. Over time her kind have dwindled down to only a few left, and they have had to make adjustments; in Penrith, this tradition has shifted to that of a Tooth faerie myth. When a tooth is lost in Penrith, be it a child's baby tooth or an adults lost to bad hygiene, fighting, etc., it is left on the back porch in a small bowl of fresh cream or milk, which Tooth will come and devour. In exchange, you are protected - once Tooth has eaten one of your teeth, she no longer has a taste for your bones, and will never harm you in that way.
