Eliza Fairbanks

Biography
Darkling, Winter Court, Artist

"..."

Eliza Fairbanks is quiet, contemplative, and genuine. She does not waste her words and often has little to say, although around the right people she might just open up a bit more. She did not seek the Onyx Diadem, indeed she all but ran from it. Since ascending, however, she has all but flourished. Many courtiers consider her a saint amongst Changelings, always welcoming and caring for the Lost. The Winter court has enjoyed a bursting of numbers since Eliza took the Silent Throne.

The Onyx Diadem has sat upon Eliza’s head for 3 years. Her predecessor, Maggie Thomson, wore the Diadem until her death at the ripe old age of 102. It is said that the Diadem confers the preserving powers of cold unto the bearer. Eliza generally keeps out of the politics of the other Courts, preferring to focus on her own Season.

Eliza does not approve of the bargaining with the Mages and wishes the Southside Court to adopt an insular policy, avoiding contact with the other Supernatural monsters of the world and closing the borders of the Southside, forcing out the Mages, Vampires, and the rest of the shadowy ilk.

Originally taken in 1920, Eliza escaped back into the year 2012, finding herself in an alien and foreign world. Her children had grown and died, carrying on the family line. Eliza suffers depression and anxiety as a result of her circumstances. She has taken up the habit of tracing her genealogy and looking after her great-great-great-great-grandchildren from afar.

Death
Eliza was slain during the siege of Avalon by the Red Prince's army during the start of the Hedgefire War.
