Constance Allure

Constance Allure Chrysalized at the normal age for most changelings to discover that they are not fully human: around the age of 8.   She was always a troublemaker, but now it had a direction. She had a motley throughout elementary and middle school of similarly aged fae children called Cloud Skippers, but in high school she was the only one to end up at Brooklyn Academy.   It was hard, being on her own, and she became known as a hippie chick with dried flowers in her hair and raw honey from the beehive she kept on her family's tiny balcony in Brooklyn (much to the super's dismay).   But eshus are adventerous - and though they crave community connection, like all changelings do - she set out on her own into the Dreaming during college.   A fantastical dungeon delve into a tomb in the Dreaming inhabited by mummies wielding magic and a standoff with a sphinx that had to be beaten by riddles, not swords, was only one of her journeys into the Dreaming in college.   After her master's, she settled down, but the lonliness ate away at her. Changelings were hard to find and she felt isolated, especially without a freehold to call her own - that changed when the sidhe came back.   She swore loyalty to Lady Marion Sweeney ap Daireann, giving her access to Lady Sweeney's freehold and balefire, but when the Accordance War broke out Connie was duty bound to fight for her lord.   After the ceasefire was called, three years after the war started, Connie returned to her boarded up shop. She had charmed the owner of the building into leaving her store alone while she was gone, and now she talked him again into forgiving her back rent, and her shop reopened soon after that.   The shop never got a ton of foot traffic, but it was enough to live on, and Connie enjoyed the peace... until a group of strangers led by a freaking priest broke down her door and subdued her, binding her in cold iron and dragging her away.   The cold iron, lack of Glamour, Banality, and the isolation made her fae soul fade away, until she forgot who she had been entirely...

Due to her capture by the Society of St. Leopold, Connie has begun to suffer from Lapses.  

Lapses: As the contamination of her soul crosses a certain threshold, the changeling begins to suffer momentary forgetfulness. She may forget where she placed her keys, her enchanted harp, an acquaintance’s email address, or the like. Few put this down to the malign effects of Banality, but merely curse advancing age or last night’s party.
