The Badlands tv show is a kind of stylish postapocalyptic.I was thinking about the Changeling you mentioned. In addition to the Five Folk plus Sixth, the trope sometimes has a Team Mom or a Team Dad. These Parents relate to the home base. Team Dad is the one who gathers intelligence and sends the team out on its missions. The Team Mom is the nurturer who looks after them while they are home. It might be interesting if the Changeling is both of them, sometimes literally shapeshifting back-and-forth between male and female while fulfilling both Team roles alternatingly. As Changeling, there might be a network of spies gathering intelligence and surveilling the Shadar-kai villains. Despite the gender names Dad and Mom, the tropes are nongendered, of course. Perhaps the Changeling culture esteems some kind intellect Cleric, maybe Arcana, Order, or Knowledge domain. Then the domain gathers intelligence as Dad, while the Cleric heals and nurtures as Mom. Within the postapocalyptic desolation, the Changeling culture tends to focus on building safespaces for themselves and other species.</blockquote>
