Jane

Introduction[ edit ]

Jane Bainbridge is a licensed Jungian psychotherapist, living and practicing on the Bermondsey waterfront in south London. Her specialties include dreamwork, active imagination and art therapy, guiding her patients to explore their dreams, memories, personal symbols, archetypes and daydreams to bring unconscious aspects into more conscious awareness. Put another way, she's a guide and muse, talk therapist and artist's inspiration. She never talks about her father, but her mother is a successful globe-trotting photojournalist and while she's an only child in this incarnation, she also speaks of having sisters.

She's also the Twilight Baroness at the court of the Fallen Castle. The celebrated bath-house and lush riverfront events -- market fairs, regattas, hunts, elaborate dinners -- held at the Barony of the Shimmering Pools are fairly well known. If there's as much political and personal intrigue there as beauty, carousing and celebration, well, that's the Unseelie for you.

RP Hooks[ edit ]

Dreams: Having some, or want to? Whether they're disturbing or beautiful, fantasy or nightmare, or you've simply lost a few, Jane's an uncanny escort through the dreamscape and has a few tricks up both sleeves.

Therapeutic Art: She can paint and perform, sure. But she's better at helping you with yours, and she's a fantastic artist's model.

Easily Distracted: Or maybe forgetful. Or simply prone to getting lost. Whatever the case, she's got a way of just wandering places without seeming entirely sure why. There's spots around London she's distinctly uncomfortable staying in for long, but she tends to pop into locations here there and everywhere.

Upper Class: Maybe. She speaks Jordanian Arabic with a native London accent that indicates posh schooling; her exotic good looks indicate her royal blood is distinctly from elsewhere.

Freehold: She's sworn an Oath of Demesne to the people of her barony, and a little mutual loyalty goes a long way. If you're looking for a place to call home and the logistics work out, she's a fair and darkly whimsical courtier.

Major Players

Megan Esby. Sister mine, the pretty one. And so much more than that. I'd be lost, here and there, without her.
Sasha Willoughby. So very clever, so very quiet. I would keep every one of her secrets safe.
Luke Beck. Old friend, I think. I'm still uncertain how far back we go.
Sean O'Neill. Unknown quantity and potential rival, naturally he will be invited to all my parties.

Minor Cast

Uma Gamaajin. My loyal and ill-favored handmaiden, half in one world and half the other.
Nef. My loyal and well-favored companion. I trust a serpent in any lifetime, even a viper.
Palanquin. Crown jewels of the barony, beloved pet.
