Summer Court Faerie
Full Fae — beings of the Feywild’s Seelie Court. Summer Court Faerie are tied to warmth, growth, passion, and the wilder aspects of nature. Bold, joyful, and prone to excess — both in their affections and their rages — they embody the abundance and violence of summer itself. They are the most approachable of the true Fae, but their affection is as dangerous as their wrath.

Appearance
Bodies that faintly glow or radiate warmth — a visible shimmer in warm light, skin tones in golds, warm browns, and sun-kissed pinks. Hair in vivid reds, golds, and deep greens. Eyes like sunlight through leaves. Summer Court Faerie move with the kind of confidence that comes from being the most beautiful thing in any room and knowing it.
Culture & The Court Tension
Summer Court Faerie prize passion above all else — they love fiercely, rage fiercely, and forgive (or refuse to forgive) with equal intensity. They are not frivolous; they are simply committed to the full experience of everything.
The Summer and Winter Courts exist in a state of ancient tension — rarely open war, but a slow, eternal rivalry played out through mortal proxies, political maneuvering, and the turning of seasons. A Summer Court Faerie meeting a Winter Court Faerie in the mortal world is never a coincidence.
