=== Bright Eyed ===
People who have been raised in the [[Court|Faerie Courts]] or otherwise heavily exposed to [[Faerie]]. Often Faerie in outlook or behavior (i.e. erratic and risk-seeking), may have exceptional charisma and/or other Faerie-derived skills.<ref name=":1">''The Bright Eyed have been exposed to the Faerie, and may even call it their place of origin.  They may be taken as babies, lured in as children, or seduced and lost for a time as in the old tale of Rip Van Winkle.  Sometimes used as ambassadors, sent back and forth, other times their stays are brief or they are encouraged to remember their old selves.  They remain rooted in reality as mortals, but are often Faerie in disposition and outlook.  Creative, hungry for excitement and stimulation, they often have a magnetism that draws people in, and a tendency toward wild behavior that mimics the courts they have spent at least a decade in.  They do not tend to live long due to their risk-seeking behavior.  Despite what one might initially assume, they tend to live a much shorter existence in the mundane than the Glamour Drowned, despite their firmer grip on reality.''  - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/17 4.8 Bonus Material: Dossiers]</ref><ref>Shellie works, sits in a workshop sketching and building tools and weapons, and matches her behavior to whatever Daniel is doing, consoling him, entertaining him, or quietly watching him while looking after her basic human needs.  Her work at the gas station keeps a roof over their heads, but her time in her workshop (the second bedroom in their two bedroom apartment) is where her dark passions come out.  The tools she makes are largely for body modification, as she is keenly restless in her own skin after years of trading it back and forth as part of her currency in the Bright Fall.  Skin is flensed, tattooed, burned, pierced, and grafted with surgical care in an ongoing process, with the most dramatic modifications happening where her clothes can cover her.  The other passion is the weapons she makes.  She knows how Faerie work and she knows how to make them stop working.  Given an opportunity, she tracks them down and hunts them. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/17 4.8 Bonus Material: Dossiers]</ref> Likely to be exceptional with [[Glamour]], and perhaps more dangerously direct in it's use than a Faerie.<ref name=":2">Both are dangerous, in different ways.  Daniel is Innocent in ways that can be argued to be more dramatic than normal, not less.  Hurting him would incur a cost and there’s a chance he wouldn’t even think to get out of the way of imminent harm.  Shellie, by contrast, is aggressive, adept at disguise, well equipped, and fearless.  It’s been argued that trying to use glamour or subtle practices on them might be more immediately dangerous than it is when trying to do so with a Faerie; the Faerie has an instinct to play the long game, to better inveigle you or inveigle humanity as a whole.  This pair won’t hold back in showing you just how familiar they are with glamour and turning it back on anyone with less than eighteen years experience.  - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/17 4.8 Bonus Material: Dossiers]</ref>

Distinct from Glamour-drowned in that they retain more of their humanity, identity, and grip on reality and are generally more functional (although ironically often shorter-lived due to their risky behavior.)<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3">''The Glamour Drowned are humans who have been exposed to extreme amounts of glamour or the depths of the environment of the Faerie courts and lost their attachments to their old selves, or even their current selves.  Many of the Glamour Drowned were used for a specific function.  In the High Spring court, for example, they may be endless dancers, trained by Faerie to dance as a competitive act, where one Faerie competes against another to see who can elevate a human more.  The Fall courts may turn them into animals to sell to the other courts as pets and accessories, with the ability to turn them human on a whim because it is easier to set aside a place for a human than, for example, a twenty-foot serpent.  The winter court may turn a person into an object, such as a goblet that is asked to tell riddles, or a tapestry that changes to keep track of the days in reailty[sic].  Whether they escape or are released for the amusement of their prior keepers, they cannot easily let go of their prior roles and have nothing to return to if they do.  Expect them to ramble, dance, and stumble, rarely with any quality, until stars align or a moment comes to pass where they find themselves again for a critical moment of dance or whatever else.  Such scenes can leave onlookers breathless.'' - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/17 4.8 Bonus Material: Dossiers]</ref> Well known among practitioners who deal with the Fae, and infamously hard to control.<ref> “He has her under his thumb, and Bright Eyed are… pretty notorious for how hard they are to keep under thumbs. [...] I don’t know anyone or any family that deals with the Faerie in any serious capacity who hasn’t heard of or had to deal with the Bright Eyed.  You’d be the first.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/03 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.3]]</ref>
