Eirlys Rowanmeadow
the Snowthorn Fairy
Named for the snowdrop that blooms through frost and the rowan's thorn that guards the meadow's edge — a name of early light and hidden barbs.
Power
Shadowthorn — you can call forth thorned briars from any shadow to hold a creature fast until the next snowfall, but each binding costs a bloom from a snowdrop you must grow in your own footprint.

You remember a voice: 'You're not supposed to be here,' the snowdrop said, and you believed it. But you were already among the thorns, and the meadow had no door. So you stayed, and the shadows learned your name. The rowan offered a single red berry to mark the bargain.
