Opt-out/Permissions/Mask/Harvesting
1. Opt-Out
Liselotte's background features teeth heavily. Louise is a dentist, teeth is what she's primarily made of, Lottie spent her Durance sorting and delivering teeth and partly subsisted on 'bad' ones, and the Fae who created one and trapped the other is heavily inspired by Tooth Fairy stories.
If teeth, or teeth in a certain context, squick you, please tell me so and I'll take care to not mention them (in those situations) in our threads!
Also hit me up if you'd prefer to not play with one or either of them!

3. Masks
Both Lottie and Louise do not look human in truth, but they do look very baseline human to almost everyone. The "magical people skin" covers appearance, movement, sounds, scent, and so on of any part of their bodies that don't look like they would look if Liselotte had never come into contact with anything fae.
Under certain circumstances, however, this perfect illusion can be seen through. No technology can achieve this, and most magical abilities will only offer a hint at their nature without actually breaking the "magical people skin" - an aura reading ability, for example, will simply show a rainbow pattern around them instead of whatever else it shows for "baseline human", but not be able to pierce the Mask.
Now what do they look like under the Mask?
Lottie: Think of a woodlouse. Now take a child and replace hair, back and legs with the back segment of the woodlouse, add the antennae, give the the back segments a stone-like texture and give the proper child parts a structure that is like very soft, clammy chitin. Give everything a grey-ish colour, and you have a rough idea of what Lottie looks like. She is also heavier to those who can see through her Mask.
Louise: Her Mien is... well. She just looks like a doll shaped out of crap that the Fae who made her had at hand when she needed a replacement-Liselotte. So she's a walking mess of bad teeth wrapped around dentistry tools, held together by floss.
On a case by case basis and/or under very specific circumstances, other characters might be able to see through the Masks.
If you think that your character might be able to see through the Mask of one or both of them, please hit me up in the comments and tell me why, and we can work it out together!
4. Glamour
Both Liselottes can and need to harvest Glamour. This means that they need to be at a certain level of proximity to a person having strong feelings - preferably something deep-seated (someone grieving a beloved) but something quick (someone being sad that their favourite mug broke) will work as well, it will just not feel as sating. The process of harvesting will not cause any harm to the target (if you think that your character might be a special case where it does cause harm, let's chat) and will not be noticeable to them, either - it cannot be felt. Some magical might be able to observe the process, but that's it.
Now while baseline human Glamour is safe, issues may arise when the target is a supernatural. Those are, like everything else, on a case-by-case basis, but if you think that your character's Glamour could have side effects or even averse effects on the harvester, please tell me here! An example of issues would be that trying to harvest from a raging werewolf will send them into an uncontrollable rage as well, while a werewolf who is just irate might be safe to harvest from.
So if you have a character whose Glamour might have side effects, please tell me about it!

| Lottie | Other fae beings will be able to see through Lottie's Mask. | ||
| People who took who took the Oath of the Rose and Thorn from her. | |||
| If she drops her Mask (burning all her Glamour and thus leaving herself very vulnerable, which makes her unlikely to do it.) | |||
| Both | Specific fairytale-y circumstances can create a situation in which the Mask doesn't work for a certain person for the duration of said circumstances - a virgin who looks at them in the first light of the new moon while holding a gift from her grandmother, someone looking through a midsummer fire, things like that. If you are interested in creating such a situation, hit me up and we can figure something out. | ||
| Sometimes, a glance out of the corner of one's eye will show them as they truly are for a split second. I will mention such occasions in the narration. |
