"Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free."
Rumi

Sidhe are not frequently overlooked, nor do they often seek out that role among their fellows, but Nieve has never required the same spotlight as others of her kind. She is the silent justice, the smiling shadow. She is Lilidh Greymalkin and in lives past, her legend stood as boogeyman to those who raised a hand against the light.

She has no need of spotlight. Deeds matter, not the fawning words which chase them.

In the mortal world, Nieve Madrigal works with her husband as a relationship counselor. Unlicensed, they operate by word of mouth and private referral. Kink-friendly, allies of the LGBTQ+ movement, and familiar with alternative lifestyles, their clients are frequently drawn from the marginalized sectors so often overlooked, misunderstood or persecuted by more mainstream practitioners.

Among the fae, her legend is still a quiet thing for Dame Lilidh Greymalkin is only newly Sained and newly titled. Recently come from Chicago on a quest sanctioned by a seer of House Scathach and with the blessings of the Kingdom of Grass, this is the young couple's opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Nieve means to use it wisely.

"Come, then. Let's dance."
Dame Lilidh
