Character name: Kate Staulker
High Concept: Malk / Student
Theme: The struggle between wanting to find her actual parents and her aversion to giving into her fey nature.
Phase 1: Aspect: Hidden in Plain Sight
It was a crisp fall night, the first hints of winter in the air, as the Malk crept up to the window. It was unlocked, luckily. But it wasn’t as if it would have been a problem either way. Ever so silently she stalked through the shadows of the house and into the Nursery. She saw the child, a new born, just brought home from the hospital. She should know, after all, she had been waiting for them to bring the young thing home. The hunter gazed down at her prey 'The best part' she though 'They'll never know'. When the time was right she would return and claim her child.
There of course were suspicions from Kate’s mother, but the doctor just considered it post partum depression. Though she was truly a fae child, nothing of her early years would tell of her supernatural beginnings. Being an only child of an upper middleclass family had its advantages she had the most of what life had to offer, private schools, tutors, and mostly anything else she needed. It wasn't until age 14 when Kate's powers first emerged. Having a particularly emotional argument with her parents she stormed to her room in her rage her normal green eyes had specs of gold that swirled and blended with her now narrowed pupils that seemed almost cat-like. Not wanting to be a freak she desperately hoped that they would turn back to normal. Slowly it seemed that her will manipulated the appearance of her eyes and could cover up what they truly looked like. In time she found she could manipulate the appearance of objects as well to make an illusion of them being something other then what they were.
Phase 2: Aspect: Who am I? Really?
Realizing that she wasn't exactly normal she sought out answers to her true identity. This partially influenced her choice to become a biology major. If she could she would like to find her real parents. The only reference to her eyes she could find was myths so outlandish that she at first didn't want to believe them. She however found a coffee shop that pointed her toward the fact that she was part Fae, what was considered a changeling.
At 18 she asked her parents if she could take a trip before college. Mostly she wanted to travel and take some time to find out what path she wanted to choose. She and a group of friends traveled around Europe, especially France to learn about different fae myths and lore. While she was gone her true mother returned to claim her child, as she had come of age. Finding that she was not with the family she had left her with she became enraged and without hesitation ended the life of the ones who were obviously trying to keep her child from her.
After her 3 years of abroad she got the call about her parent’s murder. It was closed as being a wild animal attack. It was during this time she got involved in one of the summer knights investigations while he was in Nashville. He told her of her Malk heritage and showed her the consequences of relying on her darker nature as winter fae.
