Ragna

Ragna weaves the night sky for deep, quiet winter evenings. She lives alone in the middle of a deep, ancient wood filled with magic and danger. She looks after the wildlings, exiles, and unseelie when it gets cold and dark. Desperate fae may brave the darkest nights to visit her, and she will treaty with any fae regardless of court or status if they prove their courage. She offers cryptic knowledge and spells in exchange for uncomfortable prices, and knows lore and rituals of the old magic and forgotten ways.

Local cryptid.

She rarely visits Court, but when she does, it never signals anything good.

History
Few fae under 500 years old know of Ragna as anything but a rumor in the woods of a wise and terrifying witch who can provide a solution for any demand for a price. Young fae dare each other to attempt to make it through the woods where she is said to reside. In recent years, the number of visitors has been increasing.

Older fae may remember that she retired from the Winter Court many centuries ago, despite the fact that there's technically no way to "retire", and was highly respected at the time she left public social life. Even then, she was known as a powerfully knowledgeable person who seemed able to predict the future, and an ancient fae among the long lived and immortal.

Talvi and Rime
The two found their way through Ragna's wood mostly on a dare, and have become regular visitors ever since. The wood sometimes seems a little less dangerous when the two of them come to visit, almost as if appreciating their determination.

Myth
Fellow ancients, sometimes she visits his peak to watch the stars of the night sky.

Nutmeg
She appreciates Nutmeg's candor and tea selection.

Quirks
Ragna never speaks in a straightforward manner, unless settling the precise nature of an exchange. This occasionally makes ordinary conversation nigh impossible.

When visiting other Courts or seasons, she tends to exude an aura of morning frost wherever she goes.
