Bio

Fae are often known to take forms from the mythology of humans, the same holds true for the mythology of extraterrestrial species. The Fae entity, known as the Luminspetal, is a powerful member of the Gentry that took inspiration from a creature not from human mythology, but from the nearly forgotten mythology of the Zephyrquills. Long ago, as the Zephyrquills evolved sapience, they told tales of the first islands of the Aerithian Sky Archipelagos that began to form and drift among the heavens, a phenomenon unique to their homeworld of Aerithos. In the rich tapestry of lost Zephyrquills mythology, it was once believed that an entity, known as the Luminspetal, was the creative force that created the Aerithian Sky Archipelagos. 

According to the few legends of the Zephyquills that remain, the Luminspetal was the first-born daughter of the Whispering Skies. Luminspetal was described as a celestial flower growing from a ruby-red crystal, serving as a mystical core from which the entity's form blossoms with petals that gently undulate like delicate silken wings. Each petal was said to be a translucent canvas of iridescent hues, reflecting and refracting light in a kaleidoscope of colors. From vibrant crimson to glistening gold, and from ethereal blues to velvety purples. The Luminspetal was not seen as a deity to be worshiped, but rather a muse of creation and inspiration. It was believed that wherever the Luminspetal's radiant glow touched the lands would rise into the skies, giving birth to the unique Sky Archipelagos of Aerithos.

Despite these ancient myths, the true origin of the Aerithian Sky Archipelagos arose from the delicate interplay of buoyant flora and minerals that endowed these flying islands with their unique buoyancy, though for early Zephyrquills, the Luminspetal was believed to be their creator, and during these early years, one of the Gentry took an interest in their mythology. 

As the Luminspetal's stories intertwined with the Zephyrquills' culture, one of the Fae Gentry saw in the Luminspetal legends a reflection of its own desires and aspirations—a being of radiant beauty, inspiring awe and creativity. This Fae, intrigued by the Zephyrquills' mythology, chose to take on the Luminspetal's name and attributes, crafting for itself a form that captured the essence of the ethereal muse.

In ancient times, the Zephyrquills held the Luminspetal in high regard. The entity was believed to be the catalyst behind the creation of their beloved Aerithian Sky Archipelagos, the very foundation of their unique way of life. However, as the Zephyrquills society advanced and underwent significant changes following their enthrallment towards the Raptors, so did their perception of the Luminspetal. The modern rise of the worship of the Beast, coupled with the influence the Beast has had on them, has led to a drastic shift in their beliefs. The Luminspetal, once revered for its creative influence, became a symbol of the old ways, and one the Zephyrquills disdain.

Despite this, the Luminspetal has kept her current form for untold millennia, and is unwilling to change it. In fact, interestingly enough, there is a belief amongst the Dragons that Luminspetal may be motivated by a sense of responsibility to uphold the myths and legends of the Zephyrquills. Viewing itself as a guardian of their long forgotten cultural heritage and striving to ensure that their stories and beliefs endure.
