History


Date of Birth: December 5th, 1974
Home: Telegraph Hill, San Francisco, California, United States
Family: Jack and Rachel Clarke (parents)
Chrysalis: Preordainment (the first child of a well-off family, her father was actually Dougal Sidhe and a veteran of the Accordance War, which meant Stephanie was at least Kinain, however, it became quickly clear when but a toddler that she suffered from the rare disease progeria, and when the rapid aging began, her Chrysalis dawned—for her intellect grew along with her body [which was not how that genetic disease actually worked for mortals]; her father was overjoyed because he could now bring her to court at Caer Brucky, where the Dreaming would sustain the childling), 1979
Mentor: Sir Jack Clarke ap Dougal
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (from this tender age, she grew up among the fae, among wonders and magic, developing her own skill while receiving a private tutorship for common education, due her disease; all her friends were fae, and they all looked after her as if she were a fragile little doll, though her Naming still required a solid understanding of the Escheat at least)
Comrades: Felicia Delany, Juliana Oates, Abrianna Cunningham, Regina Attenberry
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (for many early years, she and her father and other fae did their best to find the perfect balance between life in the Dreaming and a freehold and experiencing the Banal world; that entire time, however, she yearned for more magic than any of them were willing to expose her to, evinced by her earnest grasp of such Arts)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (at last, she wandered deeper into the Dreaming on her own, exploring the chaos of the Near Dreaming before finding a secret Trod—a veritable rabbit hole, if one would—deeper into the realm; there she enjoyed a series of adventures and odd experiences with all manner of denizens of that fey realm, but she also encountered terrifying monsters that would haunt her waking hours for years to come)
Key Event #3: War (in her flight back to Caer Brucky and the Banal world away from such beasts, she accidentally led them to the Near Dreaming; she turned around and accepted responsibility, girding herself for war with her Deep Dreaming friends’ help, and battled the monsters with sword and sorcery till they all fell or retreated)
Transition: Shift of Purpose (when she returned home, her father and the other nobles were shocked by her temerity but also her glorious return; her victory also attracted the interest of Queen Serena, who invited her into the Ensemble where Stephanie’s wanderlust would be appreciated more than her incidental talents at battle or magic, and the Dougal agreed, lingering often near or in Abrianna’s tower in the Near Dreaming)

Remembrance


Magnitude: Thanks to her pure Sidhe blood, she has an excellent memory reaching back to the Sundering.
Details: Stephanie recalls her heroics in Arcadia and in the Dreaming for a thousand concurrent years and has no intention of ending that legacy now, no matter how her fellow fae may baby her for her incurable disease/House flaw.

Significant Others


The Shanghaied Ensemble of Royalty is a massive collective of "fairy princesses" to which she blithely and merrily belongs. Visit this link for the full skinny:

Weakness
Drink This!


Stephanie suffers from a deadly disease that the Dreaming has kept at bay, but so far at the cost of her wits, and who knows how much longer her mind can take perpetual immersion in the Dreaming with only short breaks?

Likelihood of Corruption


Low.

Stephanie's impending madness means she's less likely to go wicked corrupt so much as simply vanish into the Deep Dreaming forever.
