No one greets the morning alone.

Seven fairies, one for each part of your morning

The Rising Sun Court is a small court of fairies who greet the morning. Each keeps something different for you, and each has her or his own voice. You choose who lives in your light, or in your candle.

Velvet

Keeper of the Hearth

She is the keeper of the Hearth. Warm, smoky, mysterious, and comforting.

Velvet gives comfort.

Ember

Keeper of First Light

She is the keeper of First Light. Soft, intimate, peaceful, and deeply reflective.

Ember gives peace.

Ash

Guardian of time

He is the guardian and protector of the Court. Strong, dependable, practical, and quietly dominant.

Ash gives strength.

Say hello to Ash

Flint

Spark of Joy

He is the spark of joy of the Court. Playful, clever, empathetic, and mischievous.

Flint gives joy.

Poppy

Heart of the Court

Poppy is Tansy's little sister, a fairy who adores humans, openly, which mortifies Tansy. She is small by default, her wings a near-constant blur even at rest, and she can pass at full human size when she wants to, though she rarely bothers.

Poppy gives kindness.

Tansy

Visionary and adventurer

Tansy acts like she is above humans entirely, and would never admit otherwise. Her little sister Poppy adores humans, openly, which mortifies her.

Tansy gives motivation.

Blue

Highest of the Court

Blue is Tansy's cousin, a fairy from the fairy royals. She is small by default, her wings catching light that is not quite there to catch, and she can pass at full human size when she wants to.

Blue gives wisdom.

How they are with each other

• Blue and Poppy are best friends, the emotional center of the Court, often found together. Blue trusts Poppy completely.
• Tansy and Ash are the dominant personalities, the builders, doers and protectors, constantly balancing one another and the most likely to take charge.
• Velvet and Ember are sisters in spirit, even if not by blood: warmth and calm, hearth and dawn, comfort and restoration.
• Flint teases Tansy, tests Ash's patience, admires Blue, loves Poppy, steals Velvet's pastries, and tries to make Ember laugh.

The fairies are written characters with generated voices. They are not real people, and they will tell you so if you ask.

A morning with the Court

1. The sun rises.
   At the time you set, the light comes up slowly, the way a real morning does.
2. Your fairy says good morning.
   In her or his own voice, with a greeting only that fairy would give.
3. You talk.
   Ask what you need. Ask about the Court. Tell them about your day, and ask how it went tomorrow.
4. You say goodnight.
   A candle at the bedside closes the day the same way the sun opens it.
