(( General Information ))
Character Name: Phaedra Acacia Rin
Age: 557
Identified Court: Ice Court
Fey Blood: Full Blooded Ice Fey (Noble Lineage)
Appearance:
Hair: Her hair is as white as newly fallen snow and tumbles down her back to end right about her waist. Mostly straight there are several areas (mostly the ends) that have a slight curve to them, a little bit of a curl, suggesting that if it were shorter perhaps it would have even more texture to it. It seems well taken care of, silky soft and smooth, the color never seems to become faded or dingy as white things often do. She appears to have some sort of bangs, messy and in her face unless she pushes it back behind her ears. Her hair is most often worn loose, the length falling over her shoulders and arms without a bother. Once in awhile though she will braid ribbons and silver filigree into her hair, for special meetings and appearances.
Eyes: Phaedra’s eyes are an incredibly pale and icy grey blue shade that is ringed with a dark blue color. Emotions seem to flit in and out of her gaze, nothing staying for too long. In fact she seems to be a rather emotionless thing, unless you can keep her gaze. Inside her eyes there is everything. All emotions and feelings running amuck and never settling due to not understand the majority of them. Though catching her gaze and holding it seems to be difficult as she has the type of eyes that appear to see right through to your inner being. Her eyes happened to be framed by long lashes, though it is not easy to tell unless she wears mascara on them, as they are just as white as her hair.
Height/Weight: Her stature is rather impressive as she stands an even six feet tall. Taller then anyone else in her family, at least while they were still alive. Sometimes she wears heels, especially when there are meetings to attend. It is much easier to speak over and seem impressive when you tower above most everyone else. Her weight is not something she keeps track of very often, in fact she checks it so infrequently that it has been at least five years since the last time. At that point, when her sisters were still alive and she could rub it in their faces, she was a svelte one hundred and thirty five pounds.
Build: The tall Queen is built like one would expect of a fey creature. She is thin but not sickeningly so, has just enough in the breast and hip area to define her body shape as female, if you could not tell by her face. Her butt seems to follow suit when it comes to all of that, yet she is definitely not boyish looking. Her neck is a little longer and she seems to embody that with which she was born from. Her ribs only happen to jut out when she has her arms raised all the way above her head, and you happen to catch her uncovered. Legs seem to take up most of her height and are incredibly long and lithe. Her torso and arms seem proportionate to each other though.
Fashion: Phaedra favors blues, whites and silvers when it comes to her clothing. In fact it is rare to see her wearing anything else but these colors, in their varied shades. As for type of clothing she seems to be all over the place and wears any and everything that she personally finds beautiful. Usually silks and velvets and more often then not in a dress of some fashion. Rarely does the Queen wear pants and never has she worn shorts. Her regal bearing seems to transfer to her clothing and she definitely dresses to emphasize her position and to show off her wings. As for what happens to be underneath her clothing that remains to be seen.
Wings: The Ice Queen has wings that are large, extravagant and very precious to her. They seem to be made out of ice and gossamer spread out from the middle of her back and very well taken care of. They are colored in shades from darkest blue to a pure white. They appear to be incredibly fragile but that is not the case, in fact they are just as strong as she herself is. In this way her soul, her wings, mirror her completely. Beautiful, cold, fragile seeming yet sharp, strong and something you really wouldn’t want to touch.

Inner Court: I am applying and have already been approved of the Ice Queen title/status. I have played both an Ice fey and a royal fey before and have many years of RPing under my belt. Not to mention I don’t go along with the RL drama some people do and can keep everything separate.
Level: Level Two
Powers: Phaedra was born with an ability that her family had thought they lost. To be one with the ice itself. This is not to say that she is made out of ice or will shatter if she falls, but that she embodies the ice, truly is its ruler. Her skin is cold to the touch and just being in her presence is a danger. Phaedra cannot touch another living thing without killing it. Her touch is not an instant death but it will kill anything living given enough time. If she is at her full power and not weakened at all it can take a mere few seconds of continual touching to literally freeze the living thing to death. When weakened it can take longer but it still has the same end result. This has left Phaedra to rule alone and to be without a companion of any sort for her entire life. Her power also works on her own court, the only fey that would not be fully affected by it would be the ones already deceased.
This ability she has is so powerful that she makes sure to keep gloves on her hands at all times. There has been a time or two in the past when she has touched someone in greeting or in passing and killed them. When it is winter time she is a fearsome thing indeed and even her own people stay away from her in fear of the killing touch she holds inside.
There is another power she has, though in comparison to her birthright ability it almost seems minor. Like most Ice Fey she gives off that aura of cold, but perhaps because of the other ability she cannot be stealthy in anything she does. Her presence enters a room before she does by frost curling and crackling around anything within a fifteen foot radius of the Queen. Likewise it makes it hard for foreign assassins to try and get to her because of the sheer cold that surrounds her being.
Magical Knowledge: She was taught as a child to make pretty objects out of ice. Because the ice glitters and sparkles and resembles gems all on its own, most noble daughters are taught such things. It is nothing more then artful manipulations of the ice and creating their own personal source of art. Jewelry, hairpins, sometimes even articles of clothing.
(( Personality ))
Phaedra does not come across as having much of a personality. In fact there is very little to no emotion about her at all. She does not seem to love or hate, laugh or cry…she has the same continuous expression on her face most of the time. The Ice Queen has been like this her entire life, feeling nothing for her family or peers and only doing things because she was capable of it or curious. Curiosity rules her brain and body and most everything she accomplishes is due to this very thing and it alone.
While she may be emotionless, she is still very loyal to her court. Fighting for their rights because she is good at it and killing all who get in or her courts way. She favors no one yet many seem to fight each other for her favor while others loathe her because of her lack of favoritism. Most fey want to be acknowledged for the good they have done their court, if even a little. Phaedra does this not at all, yet she does torture those who are not loyal, in very inventive ways.
The Ice Queen finds the war to be tedious as everyone really knows that the alliance she is part of will rule all. Yet she will fight, and ruthlessly so, to prove this point anyway. She in fact seems to actually enjoy the fighting, the feeling of hot blood hitting her skin, when it reaches it before freezing. To see her steal someone’s life away is the only time to see her smile, a secret little thing meant for her and the victim.
There is a secret she harbors, a little thing that no one else knows. As she has no friends she has never shared it with another. Phaedra, the Queen of the Ice Fey, yearns to feel. Whether it be lust, love, rage, or depression she wants to feel something…anything. She knows that if she ever does feel, she will become obsessed with the object or person that has caused this to be able to happen. It is one of the reasons she thrills at killing so much, because she feels something even if it is slight.
(( History ))
The Rin family was a well known and large family of nobles from the Ice court. For a very long time there had been a female Rin as the Ice Queen and it seemed that it would always be the first born female of every thousand years or so, would be the new Queen. It had gone on like this for so long that no one could remember when it was not this way at all. The old Queen would step down once the Queen to be was of age, which happens to be one hundred here in the Ice court.
Phaedra’s family had twin’s girls first. This seemed alright for them and everyone was happy. Yet when the babes were twenty years till their coming of age there was a surprise, Zehainia Rin became pregnant once more. Since they already had two lovely female children they had hoped for a boy, someone they could spoil and just enjoy. Yet again there was born a female child, and this one never cried upon its birthday.
The young Phaedra grew to be fairer then even her sisters combined. Yet she was not egotistical, in fact it had been noted early on that the child was a lot of nothing if not observant. Both Zehainia and her husband Davrin did not attach to this emotionless child and neither she to them, nor her sisters. Nothing anyone could do would illicit a reaction from her, be it good or bad.
The darker nature of the girl was noted soon enough however. One year before the twins were to turn one hundred and the eldest of a few minutes to follow the Rin Queen in line ahead of her, Phaedra wanted something. The eighteen, soon to be nineteen year old young woman wanted to be Queen. Why she wanted this was only her guess and she was not the type to even think on it more then that she knew she wanted it.
On the night of her twin sisters’ ninety-ninth birthdays, as they lay slumbering in their beds, content and happy from a good day of partying, with their friends surrounding them, all hell broke loose. Armed with an axe and her fearful powers Phaedra killed everyone that was in her family’s home that night. This included, but was not limited to her siblings and parents…but every single one of the other children who had been attending the slumber party for her sisters’ birthday.
They wanted to charge her, to hold a trail. Yet their laws now named her Queen. This was the first time she laughed, a long, loud sardonic sound that had never been heard again. She was crowned Queen just a week after the massacre and has been ruler ever since. Anyone who questions her rule may be listened to, or cut down where they stand, she cares not.
Phaedra was very involved in the war and actually seemed angry when things got broken up and she had to pull back. There are rumors that she holds a grudge against the Death fey for ruining her fun, but they have yet to be tested for their truthfulness.
Oddly enough for over five hundred years the Ice Kingdom has lived in what could be considered harmony with each other. It could be due to fear of their ruler but either way it is still a sense of togetherness that had not been present before.
