== Shellie Alitzer ==
Daniel's sister and caretaker. A [[Aware#Bright Eyed|Bright Eyed]] woman who hunts Fae. Is #13 in Bristow's collection.<ref name=IC/>

=== Personality ===
She smokes and can seem alternately hyper and agitated<ref>Shellie took a seat at the stage’s edge, lit up a cigarette, and began smoking, which prompted some students to relocate.  She was all agitation, leg bouncing, hand gripping the stage’s edge, looking around at everything and nothing. <br>[...]<br>Shellie’s unending agitation off to the side was visually distracting, compared to Bristow’s stillness. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/07 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.4]]</ref> or blankly, light-heardedly sociopathic. She seems to dislike rules and magic.<ref>Shellie Alitzer stood in the doorway, expression blank, silver all over her body glittering.<br><br>Avery clenched her fists.<br><br>“I had ''no'' idea what I was doing,” Shellie said.  “Couldn’t see in the dark, bumped into her.”<br>[...]<br>Shellie shrugged.  “I see a big keep out sign and I get curious, sue me.  I’m good at ducking through barriers.”<br>[...]<br>“Well,” Shellie said.  “Hate to interrupt, but you guys seem like the sort to talk ''forever'' and I actually did slip in here to pass on a message.”<br><br>“I think you’ve delivered an adequate message, Ms. Alitzer,” Alexander said.<br><br>“Nah,” Shellie said.  She pushed past Brie, stepping into the puddle and tracking the wet across the chalk.  “I’d take my shoes off before entering, but fuck niceties, right?”<br><br>Avery tensed as Shellie got closer.<br><br>“We saved your brother,” Avery said.<br><br>“Was that you?  Huh, small world.  Now get out of my way.”<br>[...]<br>Shellie walked out, casual, feet splashing in the puddle of juice.  On her way out, she kicked the little bit of wood that was propping the door open, and it swung closed.<br>[...]<br>“Do you have any humanity at all?”<br><br>Shellie’s eyes widened, her hand going to her mouth and then her heart in mock shock.  “If you see any, can you let me know?  I’ve got some freshly sharpened blades, I’ll cut it right out.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/10 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.5]]</ref> To counter Faerie manipulation, she's made herself impossible to deal with, empathize with, easily manipulate or persuade.<ref>“Faerie make deals,” Verona said. “They’re ''really, really, really'' good at it, slipping in tricks in wording, baiting you in, messing with you, whatever else.  Shellie and people like her counter Faerie.”<br><br>“Makes more sense now, how the file on her said they don’t live long,” Lucy said.<br><br>“She seems like she changed her mindset.  Maybe on purpose, retraining her brain.  Maybe automatically, being Bright-Eyed.  Made herself literally impossible to deal with.  Unwilling to be reasonable or equitable or fair, unwilling to stick to deals, unwilling to see other points of view.”<br><br>“Except looking after Daniel,” Avery said, rounding out the thought.  “And following Bristow, I guess.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/10 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.5]]</ref>

=== Appearance ===
27, has extensive body modifications (piercings, grafts, tattoos etc.) made with Fae-taught skill but they are mostly covered by clothing in public.<ref>[https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/17 Bonus Material: Dossiers]</ref>

When seen at the [[BHI]], her piercings included a harp-like arrangement of string and wire on one arm, a belt at her waist that threaded through skin as well as trouser loops, nails through the tips of her fingers, and a variety of charms and bells, all in [[silver]]. Even her belt buckle is silver. She also had what seemed like silver paint in her hair.<ref>At the side of the building, two women had emerged.  One of them had fine wire threaded in and out of her skin, harp-like arrangements of string worked through the wire down one arm, designs burned into skin and surrounded with tattoo work, and dangling charms hooked into flesh or other piercings, that included bells and glittering ornaments.  Her hair was long, more of a mane than anything else, and it looked like she’d emptied a can of silver spray paint into it, making it stiff and prone to sticking up.<br><br>She walked with a slouch, and even though her eyes were light blue, they looked ''dark'', like a storm was simmering.  She wore a black t-shirt with cuts in it, and a stick figure on the front in silver glitter, which Verona liked.  The other part, which she put less in the ‘like’ bucket, was only what she could make out from a distance, a braided black leather belt threaded through belt loops… where the loops were extended loops in her jeans that could reach up an inch, and a matching set of slits in her skin that the belt could disappear into and emerge from, for her very slow slung jeans.<br>[...]<br>Shellie turned to glance at them, scratched at her head with fingernails that had silver nail-like decorations sticking out of them, then settled in at the bench. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/03 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.3]]</ref><ref>“It’s all silver,” Avery noted.  “Silver paint, silver wire running down her arm…”<br><br>Raquel’s eyes flashed.  “Silver studs beneath her skin, silver belt buckle, silver nails sticking out of her nailbeds.”<br>[...]<br>“Silver’s a solid anti-Faerie measure,” Yadira said.  “Most courts are opposed by silver in some fashion.  Except Winter.  If you raise silver against Winter, you’re as good as finished.  That’s the gamble.  It makes sense, as default wear for a Bright Eyed.  I wonder if she changes it out depending on the Faerie she’s up against.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/03 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.3]]</ref>
