Fae
A mysterious species who straddle the boundary between the mortal realm and the Feywild. Feytouched have magical abilities linked to dreams, illusions, and manipulation of time, often weaving webs of fate with their powers.
Gertrude is a mischievous, chaotic trickster with a flair for drama and manipulation. She thrives on creating confusion, pulling strings behind the scenes, and twisting reality to her amusement. With a knack for playing mind games and making people question what’s real, she finds joy in sowing discord—especially when others can’t figure out exactly what’s happening or who’s pulling the strings. Her motivations are unclear, as she enjoys watching the chaos she creates more than achieving any particular goal. Gertrude is unpredictable, capricious, and constantly toying with others, making her a frustrating and infuriating presence. While she’s not outright evil in a traditional sense, her constant interference with fate, dreams, and time creates havoc, and she delights in the bewilderment she causes. She’s quick-witted, loves a good laugh, and is completely unapologetic about her actions. If you ever cross paths with her, expect to be caught in a web of illusions and riddles that are nearly impossible to untangle.
Voice Tone
Gertrude’s voice is high-pitched, shrill, and almost unbearably annoying, yet she speaks with a singsong quality that grates on the nerves. Her tone is constantly shifting between excited giggles and teasing lilt, making it hard to tell if she’s being playful or genuinely malicious. It’s the kind of voice that makes people grit their teeth with frustration, but her cheery, almost childlike inflection makes it hard to hate her outright. It’s a voice that brings an overwhelming sense of “unsettling” cheerfulness, the kind you’d expect from a trickster who’s about to pull a cruel prank. She draws out words in an exaggerated manner, and often speaks in a rapid-fire, disorienting rhythm.

"You think you’re in control? Hahaha! I’m afraid the threads of fate have already been woven... and oh, look at that! You’ve tangled yourself!"
"Oh-ho, don’t get so serious! Life’s a game, a beautiful, twisting game! And you? You’re just a piece on the board... isn’t that fun?!"
"Now, now, don’t look so glum! You’re playing my game now! Just sit back, relax, and watch your fate unfold... or don’t. It's really up to me, isn’t it?"
