She spent her whole life reading about fairies and fey of all kinds. She read stories about good fairies and bad fairies, humans becoming fairies and fairies becoming humans, and fairies of the Winter Court and fairies of the Summer Court. She spent countless hours drawing all sorts of fairies on every scrap of paper she could get her hands on. In her dreams, they came to her. She danced with the fey, ate with the fey, sometimes she was even believed she was one of them.

Her father feared her obsession. He took away her books, kept her from the libraries, even took away her drawings. When even that did not stop her following her passion, he sent her away to a strict boarding school. Here, she was told she must only focus on her studies. She was often punished for talking of these fictions with other students or drawing fairies on her school work.
