[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5900692, member: 2710"] Okay, think I've settled. Decided I liked playing around with the "changeling" trope, i.e. trouble-making fey traded for a human child. Haunted seemed to be a fitting curse for that, and then we have background. [sblock=Gileysefed Lan]When the human Lans lost their only infant to illness, they prayed that their now-barren home might somehow be blessed with a child resilient enough to survive the rigors of the world. They prayed to their gods, but it was fey spirits lurking in their home who heard and answered. The couple soon found a new baby in their infant's crib: a tiny gnome. So happy were they to have another child, they chose to ignore the odd chaos which seemed to always surrounded the baby. Certainly it was a tad unsettling the way the wind seemed to whisper with an actual voice on occasion, or in fact that the wind seemed to gust when no windows were opened. But the Lans were so very grateful to have a hale and hearty son with such a sunny disposition that they ignored it. When Giley's natural tendency to bring home strays resulted in a large, red-haired wolf at their door, the Lans were a little more leery, but despite his intimidating look, Golfinwerg seemed to want nothing more than Gileysefed's safety and happiness, so they didn't really object. The townsfolk, too, learned to overlook Giley's natural disasters, and the wolf was always so ... well, well-behaved. It is now a common sight to see the bright-eyed Giley riding Golfinwerg about town as if on a sightseeing tour. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
