Fae: Autumnfire

"Possibly one of the most human-like fae in both appearance and action, the Autumnfire is still no less dangerous and unpredictable than any other type of fae. For whatever reason, the Autumnfire tends to express protective instincts over nearly any type of random object. This could be anything from a small child to a single stone in a long wall to a particular patch of sunlight on a forest floor for as long as the daylight lasts.

While she will care about the object of her temporary obsession in the best possible way for that particular object (for instance, she won't treat a child the same way she treats a rock), the attention is always as fleeting as it is single-minded. Once the obsessive period passes, the object will be dropped and forgotten, ignored in most cases, or violently attacked if said object is too persistent in demanding more attention. The latter case most often arises after the Autumnfire had turned her attention onto impressionable young males, as the 'care' she provides then is generally very suitable to their tastes.

Even while the care and attention lasts, it can quickly turn deadly. While something is marked by the Autumnfire's obsession, she will consider it her possession and no one else's. In the case of wayward children, this generally results in well-meaning parents getting viciously attacked when they come to pick up their offspring.

Having the ability to set fire to nearly anything, as well as a surprising level of strength, tends to make the results of any attack by the Autumnfire unpleasant at best."
