Vael Nettleglow
the Stormlit Fae
Named for the nettle that glows before a storm and the wind that carries its seed to lightning-struck ground.
Stormcall — you can peel a single bolt of lightning from any sky and guide it to a place you can see, but the bolt always takes a toll on something else nearby, a branch or a stone or a memory.

Every dusk you leave every window in your hollow open, watching the clouds build and the nettles at your doorstep begin to pulse a faint, electric gold. One evening the wind did not just press through the room — it paused, reeked of iron, and pressed a name into your ear that was not quite a word. The nettles have kept their glow ever since, and you keep the windows open because it would be rude to refuse a storm that chose you.
