Clothing: White and silver business casual
Comportment/Cadence: Confident
Distinctions: Statuesque and beautiful, Cristiona's Belfast lilt only emphasizes her elegance, best displayed in the professional and flattering attire she usually prefers; the shapely young woman seems both earnest and content, and eager to spread that joy, to the point she seems absurdly and superficially outgoing; however, her silver tongue easily rolls past any misgivings, and many may recognize her as a lovely face that graces advertisements for garments, jewelry, and perfumes
Supernatural Qualities: Her beauty in-person goes well beyond the photographs, as breathtaking as her startlingly teal-hued eyes (contacts, right?)

Eyes: Teal
Hair: Long simple platinum-blonde
Clothing: White and silver promenade formal or brown and beige archaic
Comportment/Cadence: Confident
Supernatural Qualities: Few could question the superlative delight in encountering a Sidhe of such splendor, whether she's garbed in the gowns of high court or a commoner's peasant dress; her elven qualities take a back seat to the divinity of her form and figure, tempting all to dismiss fallacies and falsehoods uttered about her kind
Accoutrements: Moderate jewelry, a hidden razor
Traits: Appearance 7 (glamorous); Style 5 (classic); Perfect Liar, Surreal Beauty

"I am the smile, the yearning, the fantasy, the dream. I am the glow of dawn. Bask in my radiance!"

History


Date of Birth: August 2nd, 1981
Home: Lisburn, County Antrim/County Down, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Family: Lucas and Ava Paise (parents), Kian (younger brother), Phoebe (younger sister)
Chrysalis: Preordainment (though raised Protestant in a town outside Belfast, her family were always quiet pro-Republicans living amongst Unionists; she grew up innocently with no awareness of or interest in the Troubles; as a pretty young girl, she was far more interested in her social life; that life nearly ended when she and her friends drove drunkenly off a bridge and nearly all died; the NDE tapped her latent Chrysalis, luring the Leanhaun soul into her adolescent body), 1994
Mentor: Padraig O'Gara
The Test: Trial by Influence (the potent flare of Glamour attracted local fae who came to rescue her from the River Lagan; when they intuited her House, however, she was rudely dropped off in a boarding house-like Unseelie court many miles to the southwest in the County Cork, there to learn the ways of the fae, the Sidhe, the Seelie and Unseelie, and earn her Naming)
Comrades: Islene Duinseach, Tess Smith, Nineve Aloysha, Ranozir Karkadin, Wyatt Roum, Zofia Lindahl, Antonia Cerini, Yvie Macdonald, Esme Horton
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (while undergoing the Fior-Righ, she made a very close friend in a fellow Chrysalid, Islene Duinseach; while Islene had to contend with unwanted suitors, Cristy's confidence seemed to frighten many of them off, and she adapted easily to fae and court life, happy to "hunt", to seek and seduce, artists both for herself and the local Leanhaun in general)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (she then began to model professionally, not just for the money but to travel the world and meet people, including potential dreamers)
Key Event #3: Treachery (but her main problem came when she returned home to Belfast; she met a young and idealistic MP who also painted; she seduced and ultimately inflicted the Rhapsody upon him, driving him to suicide; the incident caused a major headache for the Leanhaun in Hibernia, so they exiled her to Concordia to lay low and out of their hair)
Transition: Shift in Purpose (before she left, she heard through the grapevines about Islene's stalker, and moved to the Midwest to find and warn her; while there, she took up more modeling gigs, began to weasel her way into the local Unseelie households, and joined her lover/best friend along with that friend's new romantic interest, a Prodigal mage—ah, how the plot thickens!)

Remembrance


Magnitude: Cristy admits she struggles to remember back to even her last few years in Arcadia prior the Resurgence.
Details: She knows (or at least, strongly believes) she was a prime mover-and-shaker in the courts centered upon the Fountain of Verdant Mist.

Weakness
Legally Blonde Parts I-C


Cristiona and Islene started off similarly but the blonde has seen branched off in her own, perhaps more traditional Leanhaun way: as a manipulator, user, and heart-breaker. She has a trail of bodies behind her custom Milan-made heels, a few of them literal (more than one of her Rhapsody victims killed themselves...).

Likelihood of Corruption


Average.

She wants to play hard games with hard people. While she has the talent, she may not have the depth of intellect to keep up and could resort to making bad choices to try.
