Origin

She was born into the in-between realm,a liminal space where:- Zambezi river mist - Scottish sea fog - Tonga ancestral winds - and Celtic fae magic braid together. This realm sits between living and spirit,between chaos and healingand she dances on its border like it belongs to her…because it does.

 

Why She Has Wings (Bat Fae)

When the ancestors shaped her, they gave her the wings of the Zambian batswho guide the night with sound instead of sight. They fly in darkness without fear. They navigate chaos with rhythm.They echo-locate each other a symbol of community and interconnected healing. Her wings mean:- she finds joy even in places without light - she guides others through their emotional night - she listens with her whole body - she carries ancestral radar, sensing shame, grief, and disconnection And she loves them, her wings, because they make her strange in the best possible way.

​

HER PERSONAL STRUGGLE & WHY SHE EARNED HER JOY

When she was still young (in appearance, not spirit),a great sorrow passed through the ancestral realm. A shadow threatened to consume the people’s music, their laughter, their dances, their ability to celebrate themselves. In that time, her joy was stolen buried deep under silence and forgetting. Even her wings dimmed. For a long season, she wandered quiet and hollow, her drum still, her voice soft. Until one night, an ancestor placed a hand on her back and said: “Firstborn, you do not exist to be untouched by hardship. You exist to transform it. Find your joy again not untouched by pain, but shaped, sharpened, strengthened by it. ”So she searched for it. She dived into rivers, listened to stones, followed bats through caves, and learned rhythms older than speech. When she found joy again, it wasn’t a spark. It was a wildfire. Playful, mischievous, ancestral, stubborn, and unkillable. The joy she carries now is not light-hearted it is earned joy, rebellion joy, post-trauma joy, oy that remembers suffering but refuses to bow to it.

​

PERSONALITY

She is:- chaotic in the gentlest way - silly like an elder who’s done healing work for 200 years - warm big-sister energy - hyperactive but wise - playful but grounding - a walking happy-stim - a trickster with grandmother wisdom - autistic-chaos-fae, but nurturing - info-dumping about butterflies, drums, mushrooms, and ancestors. She hugs like she’s known you forever. She laughs like bells and bat wings flapping together. She dances everywhere; in forests, kitchens, graveyards, markets, dreams. Her joy is mischievous medicine.

​

HER DRUM (Nervous System Lore)

Her drum is alive. Not a creature but a regulating presence. When she plays it:- hearts sync with its rhythm - panic unravels - breath slows - freeze states melt - shame quiets - the body remembers how to feel safe - grief softens into movement - joy becomes possible again The drum uses rhythm to calm the amygdala, strengthen the vagus nerve, and restore dopamine flow blocked by burnout or depression. To humans it sounds like music. To spirits it sounds like a heart mending. Sometimes the drum glows. Sometimes it vibrates. Sometimes it hums even when she isn’t touching it. When joy is near, the drum knows first.

 

WHAT SHE DOES FOR OTHERS

She appears to people who:- feel disconnected from their ancestry - have lost their creativity - feel ashamed of being “too much” or “too weird” - are healing identity wounds - have forgotten how to celebrate themselves - were taught joy is childish or irresponsible - are the eldest daughter who never got to rest - have survived trauma, displacement, or diaspora disconnection She doesn’t give joy, she reawakens it. She:- breaks shame - untangles self-hate - encourages weirdness - restores cultural pride - wakes rhythm in tired bodies - calls people back to their own magic - reconnects them with who they were before they were hurt Her whisper: “Your joy is not foolishness. It is inheritance.”
