Aoibhinn Mallowglimmer
the Mourndew Fairy
Named for the beauty (Aoibhinn) of the mallow flower touched by moonlight (glimmer) and the dew that clings to it at the hour when sorrow is heaviest.
Power
Moonspill — you can collect the dew that falls on nights of mourning and freeze it into a single bead. One touch of that bead reveals the secret wish of the one who wept it, but each bead you make costs you a memory you cannot get back.

‘You looked,’ she said, ‘and that was enough.’ You were not born into this; you simply found yourself on the wet grass one night, a question on your tongue and a mallow leaf cupped in your hand. The moon had bled silver into the dew, and when you drank it, you understood why the sad ones come here. The glimmer has never let you go.
