4th_survivedIn the Europe of the Tudor dynasty, the court of the Fae also exist-not as myth, but living beings that need to be respected. While the those in the catholic faith acknowledge and wish to keep on good terms with the beings, the new protestant movement sees the Court as only children stories for the superstitious. The duke of cleves was one such person, to his eventual dismay. It happened that at one point, the fae court came to visit, but were shunned for what they were and mocked. Not realizing how dangerous this was, the Duke had no idea that his punishment would be painful as a parent-before the fae left the court, they also lured away his middle daughter, Anna, and replaced her with a block of wood. Unwilling to admit the loss and 'bow to superstition, the story after her taking was that his daughter passed away from small pox and had to be buried.
All of this happened when Anne was a small child, and to ask her, she wouldn't be able to recall the details. In the court, the Fairy Queen took a liking to the human child and raised her as her own. A changeling and princess, Anne spent twenty years living in the splendor and magic of the Fairy court.
The it was time for King Henry to get married, and with rumors of a Changeling princess and the benefits of connections to the Fairy court, Anne finds herself once more rejoining a human world.
As with most humans who spend an extended period of time Under ground, Anne as been indued with an amount of fae magic. By no means as powerful as a full blooded fae, she's still able to use glamor to change her form or the form of something else, as well as able to sense and read a person's energy. Almost automatically, she's able to sense when magic is being used, to see through illusions, and can even read a person's true nature and energy-though the latter came through her own skill as well as fae magic. Unlike full blood fae, iron and other cold metals aren't fatal to her, but prolonged contact will make her break out into rash like hives.
This Anne is more outgoing and knowledgeable than her Human counterpart, while also sharing some of the fae's opinion on humans and their habits. She doesn't think much of the English court and its debates over religion, but the King is family, and she will never betray her family.
