Name: Jezabel Gargette Maza
Nickname: Jezzy, Jezzybell, Half-breed
Age: At the end of "Avalon's Heirs" she's 19
Height: 6' 1''
Weight: 205 lb. (mostly due to muscle, wings, and tail)
Eyes: BlackHair: Black
Skin: Dark lavender
Interesting attributes:
Due to her hybrid nature, and a gift from Alexander,
Jezzy
and her rookery siblings can avoid stone sleep if they
so
choose. Jezzy is a very interesting mix of both human
and
Gargoyle. While she has four-clawed, raised, feet her
hands
have five digets. These digets are a mixture of claws
and
fingers, allowing her both the ability to write and use
them
to climb walls. Her face betrays no Gargoyle-like features
save for a slight raise in her brow ridge. She has no
elbow
or knee spurs. Her wing span, a generous 12 and a half
feet
from tip to tip, rivals even Goliath's own.
Mother: Elisa Maza
Father: Goliath
Husband: Alexander Fox Xanatos
Siblings: Angela, Davida, Bathsheeba, Jonothan
Rookery siblings: Alexander Xanatos, Angelique Desdemona,
Lenna Dominique Macbeth, Daydream Fairy Burnette-
Xanatos, Robin Xanatos-Burnette, Betsy Wild Wings, Tiger
Eyes, Peter Cat's Eye Maza, Coyote Moon Maza.
Basic History:
Jezzy was born one Mid Summer Night along with her eight
rookery siblings. Because Alex shares their birthday
and is
only two years older he was considered a rookery brother.
Due to the Fey nature of three of the children Oberon
tried
to claim all ten belonged on Avalon. After a brief skirmish,
in which all children showed some level of magical potential,
it was agreed the rookery would be raised on Earth until
the
time of Trinity.
A gift was presented at their hatching. Alex and Puck
made
it possible for all ten children to use, or avoid, stone
sleep,
even Alex himself. This gift was eventually extended
to all
Gargoyles residing in New York.
Most of Jezzy's childhood was spent under the watchful
gaze
of her rookery keepers. She was an awkward, and frankly
ugly, hatchling. Eventually she grew into a beautiful
young
woman, made even more so by her vainly kept up wing
span.
She was home schooled until the age of thirteen when she
insisted upon enrolling in the same private high school
as
Alex. Quarrymen hounded her and called her proof that
Gargoyles should be destroyed. This sent her into a spiral
of self destructive behavior. Her bethrothal to Alex
ended
this cycle when she was fifteen.
Personality:
A lack of self esteem stems from an awkward childhood
and trauma during her teenage years. Her inherint instability
carries through into her adult life. Jezzy is good at
masking
her emotions and manages to convince everyone, even her
life mate, that she is a strong willed leader. A series
of
spiralling ups and downs brought on by the birth of her
first
child was nearly her undoing.
Because she can't protect herself from the pain Jezzy
has a
stronger need to protect than most Gargoyles. She is
both a
rookery mother and a warrior. Even when put in a situation
of supreme command she yeilds to the feelings of those
under her.
On an up note she is a bright and loving child. Her world
revolves around making her family safe and proud. She
is
a master of most arts. Her favorites include culinary,
magical, defensive, and entertaining styles.
Stories:
She first appears in A Mid Summer Night's Miracle in
which
the birth of her rookery causes a stir New York hasn't
seen
since the Gathering. Because she and her rookery sibs
were
all conceived on Avalon they show a penchant for magic,
even at birth. Her childhood is a background sub story
in
most of the stories afterwards.
In The Hammer and the Headstrong Jezzy finally is given
a
co-star role when Quarrymen invade the castle and several
of her rookery sisters are captured. While the adults
sleep
Jezzy and Alex put aside their sibling squabbles and
track
down their missing rookery.
The Mystic Isle is the final knot in Alex and Jezzy's
relationship. Under the watchful gaze of the Seelie court
five nuptuals take place. For once her depression takes
a
backseat to her happiness as she celebrates her mating
flight with her siblings.
Breeding season has come and gone in Avalon's Heirs.
The birth of one of the children releases a force that
feeds
off hate and despair. It wants nothing more than to have
the
heirs of Avalon killed. Her own inner demons are released
and she must learn to let them go or risk losing her
child
and her mate. All will be called to battle, it is undecided
who will survive it.
What the future holds:
Jezzy future is uncertain at best. If she survives the
battle
in Avalon's Heirs she will be granted immortality because
she is the mate of Avalon's future king. Nothing else
is
known at this time.
My thoughts on Jezzy:
Jezzy is one of my favorite characters. She ranks up
with
Koori and Coyote Moon but for a different reason than
the
other two. Most of Jezzy's rookery is brave, strong and
confident. They have been assured of their beauty, power,
and status in society since their births. Jezzy was awkward
and ugly as a hatchling so she carries it into her adult
life.
Part of her appeal is the fact she isn't perfect. She's
the
strongest of her rookery but thinks herself weak. She's
beautiful; but humble. Her magic threatens to rival even
Alexander's but she's afraid she'll mess up. Her insecurities
and instabilty make her an interesting character to write
about.
Do I have anything in common with her? I think we all
do.
Jezzy represents everything everyone wants to be; strong,
fast, smart, beautiful, talented; while still being we
are;
unsure, frightened, humble, doubting. No matter how
powerful she becomes she won't abuse the privileges
because she's still a scared little hatchling on the
inside.
Signature quote: "Give me a break! I'm only human!"
Angelique: "No you're not."
Jezzy: Then I'm only a Gargoyle."
Coyote Moon: "No you're not."
Jezzy: "Oh, I give up!"

I'm not very picky but I do like
to know what people are doing to my characters. |
Name: Koori/Alicia Burnette
Age Fey: age is undetermined.
Age Human: 25
Eyes Fey: Violet to red depending upon her mood
Eyes Human: Black
Skin tone Fey: Deep blue
Skin tone Human: Lighter than Owen
Hair Fey: Seaweed green
Hair Human: Deep brunette
Height Fey/Human: 5' 8"
Weight: 135 lb.
Interesting Attributes as a Fey:
Her skin is actually a series of tightly interwoven blue
scales. Instead of feeling like scales they feel like soft human skin.
As
a gift from her father she can morph her legs into a
mermaid
like tail fluke. Like her mother in her Fey form she
is a class
1 carnivore. A fuzzy blue tail, wolf like in nature,
was
inherited from her mother.
Interesting Attributes as Human:
Unlike Owen she wears casual dresses to work. Her hair
is
often pulled into a bun. Her ears have slight points
to them,
much like Alexander's. When she's feeling playful she
allows
part of her disguise to slip and adds the fuzzy tail,
it makes
for an interesting game of footsy in boardroom meetings.
Father: Poseiden
Mother: Wolf Mother
Husband: Puck/Owen Burnette
Signifigant others: Fox and David Xanatos
Siblings: Coyote, Raven, Fox (the trickster), Cerberus
Children: Daydream (David's daughter), Willow, Wisp
Basic history:
Koori was the last child born to Wolf Mother before the
elder Fey vowed celibacy. The vow didn't last long and
shortly after it was broken her brother, Cerberus, was
born.
Koori was one of the few unlucky individuals to be born
a
trickster. Because of her posistion in societies eyes
she spent most of her childhood playing with the other tricksters.
When she came of age she was called to be a lady in
Titania's court. Due to her friendly and pleasent nature
she
was appointed head handmadien. This led to romance with
her fellow trickster, and Oberon's top man servant, Puck.
Skip ahead a thousand years to find Koori helping her
brother win back the heart of Dream Weaver/Beth Maza.
She appears again at the prewedding banquet and makes
frequent appearences afterwards. Due to a..umm..."mix
up" at the wedding Koori ends up going to bed with David
instead of Puck. The result of that accident is Daydream
Fairy Burnette-Xanatos.
Personality:
Trouble, be she fey or human. While cool, collected,
and
sweet she does hold a wicked temper. She is often blinded
by love for her children and mates. She could also be
labeled as a seductress, depending on who you're talking
to.
While working she has an air of proffesionalism, but just
an air. She spends most of her office hours writing love
notes and planning family trips. Or playing footsy with
her
three favorite tagets.
While most humans would find the unique love life the
Xanatos' and Burnettes have made for themselves immoral
Koori relishes it. On Avalon such acts of love and
commitment were common so neither Koori, Puck, or Fox
raise objection to it. David is equally thrilled but
still lets
human morals hold him back on occasion.
The Stories:
Koori's first appearence was in "Under A Coyote Moon".
She crashes a Delta house party with her brothers, Coyote
and Raven. Once they return, with Coyote and Raven's
wives in tow, a bring your own mortal party is held on
Avalon. Due to an accident at the party on Avalon she
is
appointed her husband's assistant on Earth. Puck and
Koori are both given free reign by Titania to use their
powers as they please.
Thrice Loved deals with the unique love life Puck has
thrust his bride into.
A Mid Summer Night's Miracle finds the birth of Daydream
Fairy Burnette-Xanatos. Koori's mothering instincts are
put
to the test as she defends her daughter against Oberon's
wrath.
The Mystic Isle is another test on Koori. Like all mothers
she
must learn to love and let go as her first born leaves
the nest.
It is also another joining of the Burnette and Xanatos
families
as Daydream gives her heart to Robin Xanatos-Burnette.
Her granddaughter is one of the rookery born in Avalon's
Heirs. Like most people on the side of the trinity
child Koori
will probably be joining the battle against a creature
known
solely as The Beast.
What the future holds:
Koori is known as the trickster mother. Her future will
focus
mainly around the raising of the next generation of tricksters
and pixies. She may be called upon to help defeat the
threat
the Trinity child will face. It is uncertain who will
live and
who will die in that battle.
My thoughts on Koori:
Koori is one of my favored characters. She ranks up there
with Jezzy, Coyote Moon, and the Trinity child. Is she
my
Mary Sue? Hardly. Koori has a better check on her temper
and at the same time is more malicious than I am. Besides,
Koori is constantly blundering, I'm perfect *winks at
the
audience and bursts out laughing*.
Signature quote: "Only in my family *sighs*"
