Carlyle [ Lyle ] of the Auverdain Fae Folk

imprecise shapeshifter prince
One of two twin heirs to a monarch within the intricate network of fae royalty and nobility, to a clan still defending the same old territories and separatist traditions around forests increasingly encroached upon by humanity. Carlyle feels the responsibility more keenly than their brother, being better known as the more well-mannered one as well as firstborn by a fraction, they're regarded as the obvious choice to inherit the crown. Since childhood, their fate has felt predetermined and the road ahead clear, although they can't help but daydream about a life in a different direction. It often leaves them resentful towards their brother, for his carelessness in the face of inheritance and duty, and his apparent ease in his own skin.

A calm and collected demeanour, with a practiced composure in spite of their privately anxious nature. Daydreamer in the margins of their duties and routines, imagining escapes and daring adventures among the human folk. Tries to scratch the curious itch with books, as well as old newspapers, trash, and magazines they chance upon in the woods, but it leaves them wanting more.

Like their twin brother Larkin, Carlyle belongs to the fae folk - distinctly not quite human in their natural form, with pointed elven-esque ears, slightly sharper canine teeth, small deer-like horns, and a thin velvet-furred tail. They belong to a family line of gifted shapeshifters, although this gift doesn't come easily to Lyle. They have a hard time shapeshifting in a precise and accurate way - their forms overlap, carrying traits between the creatures they mimic, all antlered dogs and goat-eyed birds. It's a great worry to Lyle, profoundly unbefitting of the monarch's heir.

Carlyle is a well constructed performance piece. From a young age, they've known precisely what they were expected to be, what they needed to be, and gave themselves up to meeting this ideal. Despite being naturally anxious and prone to spiralling into doubt and nerves, they've become well practiced at projecting a calm and composed demeanour befitting someone older than their years.

Dignified and self-conscious, putting effort and time into their appearance and the way they come across to others.

Long thin wispy naturally auburn hair, with a white streak near their brow; often leaves it hanging loose over their shoulders. Freckles. High cheekbones, thin angular face, thin eyebrows, serious hazel-green eyes. Thin, flat-chested build with narrow hips and shoulders.

Style of dress is minimalist and elegant, with a preference for linen and cotton; very Toast designer styles, long black pinafore dresses and skirts layered with white collared shirts, or long line French workwear coats.
