Personae is a relatively new motley, formed

just over a year ago. The Hunchback, who had

been dwelling mostly in or near the Hedge

surrounding the freehold, ran into a threat

larger than he was able to handle himself

and suffered grievous injury. He survived,

but decided that if he were going to continue

to spend large amounts of time within the

Thorns, it would be a good idea to have some

backup. With an eye towards the safest and

most advantageous manner in which to end

his lonely vigil, he decided against joining

other established motleys in the area, and

instead recruited several other functional

but undirected loners – Aslan, Romeo and

Keridwen – to join him. Nicola, the newest

member of the motley, was added to the group

a short time later when it became clear to The

Hunchback that her political manipulations

could be useful to the motley.

Personae takes its name from several sourc-

es, most of which were mined by Keridwen

when she proposed the name for the group.

Dramatis Personae is a term used to refer to

a casting list of the characters in a book or

play, and since every member of the motley

uses a name which relates to some sort of fic-

tional character, she felt it appropriate. And,

as Romeo is proud to point out, everyone in

the group is (or at least was) “persona non

grata” – unwelcome people or those with little

value – within the freehold, at least until they

joined forces.

The motley as a whole is closely tied to the

city. They rent a large older home in one of the

not-so-great areas of town from a disreputable

landlord who doesn’t care that they don’t have

much in the way of ID or references, so long

as they pay regularly and in cash. Between

Keridwen’s witchery and Aslan’s physique,

thugs, vagrants or would-be thieves rarely

bother their home, even though the crime rate

is rampant in the area. The house is in poor

condition, however, and is often in threat of

foreclosure as the owner pockets their cash

rent payments and skips out on paying the

mortgage. An occasional visit by Aslan is

sometimes necessary to ensure that the money

reaches its proper destination and the fore-

closure announcements are put off for a few

more months. It may not be much to look at,

but the house serves as a central spot for the

motley to protect each other and pool their

limited resources to eek out an existence. It

also can be used as a site from which to enter

the Hedge in relative privacy (a particular

boon for The Hunchback).

In general, Personae’s current primary goal

is to protect the motley-members’ safety

while keeping an eye out for opportunities

to increase their standing within the free-

hold. Under Nicola and The Hunchback’s

cautions, they’ve stayed mostly out of the

political circle thus far, watching and learn-

ing all they can about the area and popula-

tion before making any grabs for power. Each

member has personal goals as well, but each

would also like for the group as a whole to

be recognized as a useful and important part

of the freehold.

Some tension exists between the more intro-

verted members of the motley (predominantly

Nicola, Keridwen and the Hunchback) and their

outspoken and flamboyant Spring and Summer

cousins. Romeo tends to defuse this situation with

humor, flirting with the Hunchback as well as his

female motley-mates. He hasn’t carried through

with his seductions, however – perhaps he realizes

that such an act might eventually drive a wedge

between the motley members and harm the safety

they’ve built with each other. Aslan’s boisterous

(and egotistical) attitude, on the other hand, may

well put the motley into situations that they’d

prefer not to be in. They’ve got his back, even

when he’s wrong – at least in public. In private,

however, they’re likely to dress him down if his

attitude gets them into trouble.

Within the motley, Aslan tends to take the

public role of “leader.” His size and powerful

presence attract a great deal of attention, and

most of those who meet the group assume he

leads them with an iron fist. In truth, how-

ever, the group works in a fairly egalitarian

manner, with each individual taking a role of

leadership depending on the situation – Aslan

for combat and tactical situations, Romeo

for social matters, Keridwen for medical or

occult situations, The Hunchback for Hedge

and defense issues and Nicola for all things

political. While they tend to keep this ar-

rangement fairly quiet (at The Hunchback’s

suggestion – the less potential rivals know

about you, the better), it has served them well

over the last year.

Quotes: “Nice dress. I bet it would look great on the loor by my bed. Shall

we check?”

“Once you’ve had darkling, you’ll never go back.”

“There’s something to love in everyone, and I’m ready to brave the depths

to ind it.”

Virtue: Charity. Romeo believes that every individual has some-

thing within them that is capable of inspiring Desire – it’s just a

matter of being able to look deeply enough to find it.

Vice: Lust. While Romeo recognizes that not all desire is carnal,

it’s the flavor he prefers to focus on.

Background: Before your durance, you were a shy and un-

popular young man, barely able to stutter out a full sentence

in the presence of the opposite sex. In your mind, however,

you played out intricate fantasies of wooing those around

you with suave mannerisms and cunning words. Your Keeper

sensed that intense imagination and gave you the opportunity

to serve as Her ultimate fantasy lover – a different face and

persona for each whim that struck Her. However, in time She

grew bored and began sending you out of the Hedge to seduce

humans and bring them back to Her. During one such foray, you

broke free of Her influence and never went back. For years you

traveled the globe, certain your Keeper was at your heels. She’s

never shown back up, however, and while you’re still wary, you’ve

slowed down long enough to form ties with the rest of Personae,

hoping to trade in the speed and flexibility of a lonely life on the

road for the strength and support of your motley-mates, should She

come looking for you.

Description: Slim and nimble, you have an effete, almost an-

drogynous frame, and favor clothing that further blurs the line

between historic-feminine and romantic-masculine. In your Mask

and “natural” mien, you have the swarthy skin and dark hair and

eyes that are mistaken for everything from Greek to Spanish to

Black Irish. As a Mirrorskin, however, you’re capable of wearing an

almost infinite variety of faces, and tend to change your own fea-

tures to coincide with whatever are preferred by your current object

of affection.

Roleplaying Hints: First and foremost, you want to avoid any chance of your Keeper returning to

reclaim you. This desire is followed in almost equal intensity by the desire to keep your former job (as

a procurer for your Keeper) quiet, as you fear even your motley will not forgive you if they find out.

These fears are masked by a very cavalier playboy attitude and a blatantly flirtatious approach towards

everyone and everything you come across. Since joining the motley, you have seduced everything

from clowns to queens and hobs to hedgebeasts. It’s not that you’re “easy” per se – you just believe

that there’s something desirable to be found in every individual, and if you can’t discover it, it’s just

because you haven’t searched deeply enough. Besides, when confronted with such a blatant façade,

few search deeper to discover your real secrets – which suits you just fine.
