Galilee

Galilee is a Summer Court fae who owns a Court-neutral resort called the Place In The Sun. It is staffed by mind-controlled humans Galilee has captured. Galilee has an unsavory reputation among all Courts as being anything from a shady character to an outright murderer, and because they do not get close to many fae, it's really unclear what's true. Galilee is new to the High Court scene and is still figuring out how to navigate the intricate social web that has been spun there.

History
Galilee's family is low court and from the deep sea, involved in the movement of the tides. They grew up without much supervision and was able to come and go as they pleased. At a young age, Galilee took to surfacing to the shore to play with lonely human children at the beach.

Early in the evening one day during one of these jaunts, Galilee and a few children they were playing with were snatched by traffickers and brought to the large warehouse that served as their headquarters. Unable to escape, Galilee was held there for over a week while they watched the traffickers abuse their fellow children, and their rage grew. Finally, something snapped within them, and a great power Galilee had never felt before surfaced. They broke free and razed the entire building to the ground. If a friend hadn't stepped in and recovered them, there's no telling how much more destruction they would have caused.

After taking time to calm down and accept what they'd done, Galilee began acting on a seed of a concept that eventually became the Place In The Sun. Using their newfound powers, they raised the resort up from nothing at the edge of Summer Court territory. To staff the resort, they began seeking out the greediest, cruelest, worst humans they could find, tempting them with a wildly lucrative "business proposal," and brainwashing them as "employees." These humans are aware of what they are doing, but they have no way of controlling their own actions.

Eventually, the resort caught the attention of the High Summer Court fae, and recently Galilee began to be asked to attend court functions. While the High Court takes advantage of the wealth and prestige the resort has gifted Summer, there are still High Court fae who would take any opportunity to remind Galilee where they came from and the High Court as a whole doesn't yet trust them very far.

Abilities
Although born with limited tidal abilities, Galilee's strength grew exponentially the night they escaped their captors. Currently, they are able to cause another person (human or fae) to feel as if they are drowning; if they have to get very serious, they can actually fill someone else's lungs with water.

Their ability to brainwash humans is the result of research and is ineffectual on other fae.

Firth
In their first true dealings in High Court, Galilee was immediately drawn to Firth. She was the first person they met there who showed them genuine kindness, and they noticed right away the signs surrounding her indicating the unpleasantries she was dealing with. Galilee is extremely grateful for her presence at the resort and her reminders to slow down and enjoy themself (even if they don't always do it). As court activity escalated for both of them, Galilee's feelings began to shift into a crush they have been struggling against, believing strongly that such feelings would ruin a friendship they treasure a great deal.

Rhiannon
Having recently left court right around the time Galilee was granted some say in court dealings, Rhia approached Galilee looking for help, knowing their reputation. In exchange for receiving intel on various high court members, Galilee promised to take care of the humans Rhia said killed her brother. They are still working at the resort, but Galilee ensures that although Rhia is staying there now, she never runs into them.

Patch
Recently, Galilee caught Patch sneaking around the resort and disrupting other patrons. After hearing what Patch was looking for, Galilee made a deal with him: In exchange for Galilee's help discovering who poisoned Patch, he is now responsible for seeking out humans to be brought in to "work" at the resort, although his choices often need to be further vetted by Galilee themself.

Kyra
Galilee and Kyra met at a High Court function, and soon after Galilee let slip their feelings for Firth. Kyra seems to have taken it upon herself to try to get them together.

Nix
Nix's bar, the Tides and Tales, is located across from Galilee's resort. Along with her employee Cinaed, the two engage in a friendly rivalry with Galilee.

Cinaed
In the early stages of the Place in the Sun's existence, before it garnered the attention of high court, Cinaed used to take his "kids" to spend time there. Despite his sometimes overzealous adherence to their "rivalry," Cin was one of the few regulars of the Place in the Sun from the old days who didn't accuse Galilee of "selling out" when high court took notice. Galilee will always be grateful to him for that.

Trivia

 * Red is their power color and they wear subtle gold eyeliner at all times
 * They have a scar on the bridge of their nose and one across one eyebrow where their glasses broke and dug into their face during their kidnapping. They could glamour these scars away, but don't
 * They have gills on either side of their chest, just under the collarbones. If damaged, they are slow to heal
 * They have a high pain tolerance
 * Galilee loves children, fae and human alike, and believes children only grow to be rotten adults because of bad circumstances
 * They are low-key damp all the time. Some High Court fae joke behind their back that they're "two kinds of slimy"
 * They keep a black cat they rescued from the human world. His name is Toby, after one of the children Galilee was with when they were kidnapped. Somewhat due to Galilee being damp all the time, Toby is not very cuddly
 * Even now, Galilee is drawn to loneliness in others
 * As a child, Galilee was more female-presenting than they are now; the change was intentional as they felt this new persona needed a more masculine approach
 * The first "proceeds" Galilee was able to make from the resort were funneled back into the human world and wound up in one way or another helping out the families of the children they killed while on their rampage. Even now they frequently deposit money into human children charities. This is Galilee's one closely guarded secret, and no one else knows.
 * Periodically, Galilee interviews their human "employees." If they determine a human has genuinely changed their perspective, Galilee will return them to the human world and will search for a replacement. This is also not well known; most fae assume any "employee" who disappears from the resort is now dead.

They are possibly the only fae who's shown anything resembling business sense so far.
