“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty.”
-- Henry David Thoreau

Mask: Their androgyny shifts from day to day on a whim--sometimes more masculine in baggy clothes, sometimes in makeup and dresses. Whatever they wear, it's always comfortable enough that they can move around easily in it. Their skin is dark olive, dark hair buzzed short. Their eyes are strangely pale--a golden-green color. They have a quiet presence about them--when quiet and unmoving, it's easy to overlook them. But once in motion they come alive, commanding attention.

Mien: Lux' skin darkens to nearly pitch black, dark enough to contrast the bright neon glow that emanates from them. The light rarely shines directly from them--instead it shines out from inside their clothes, casting their dark features in stark highlight. When in motion they live afterimages behind them and trails of light, like a long exposure photograph. Their ears come to slight points, and their eyes are black, save for the irises, which creates two rings of neon light staring out from the darkness. If they stay in place for too long (Which is fairly rare), flickers of light will drift off of them, creating a halo of eerie firefly-like orbs.

Mantle: The glimmer and glare of cold light reflecting off of a fresh snowbank--sometimes the shine of white sunlight, sometimes the colorful ripples of the aurora borealis.

Personality: Lux is high energy all the time. They yearn to run and dance and constantly stay active. Even when sitting still they're bobbing their foot or tapping their fingers. They're incredibly outgoing, flirty and friendly, sometimes to the point of coming off narcissistic. They look upon the world with passion and optimism that some might find surprising from a Winter.

Public History:

Showed up in Philly in early Autumn of 2019. They quickly joined the Freehold by becoming a Winter Courtier.
Started experimenting with graffiti around September. Quickly perfected their style and became a well-known name for creating political and inspiring street art.
Quickly after escaping they became active in the political scene as an activist, taking part in rallies and protests.

Won't Slow Down: Lux has only been out of the Hedge for a few months--but they've made the most of their time. They hit the ground running, quickly joining the Winter Court and integrating themself into mortal spheres. (More info once sanctioned.)
Dream Free: Lux has earned a name for themself as a street artist. Their graffiti covers buildings, tunnels, abandoned equipment, and anything else they can get their hands on. Their art almost always makes a political statement--be it related to issues with local government, LGBT+ pride, or support of equal rights. They've gotten to the level of fame that people actively look for their work, and a few have paid them to make murals.
Power To The People: Speaking of political statements... Lux also has integrated themself into local politics as an activist. They're often seen around various rallies, protests, or charity fundraisers. Word has it they have the ear of some influential people.

PARKOUR!!: Lux loves a good thrill. They get their kicks by jumping off of rooftops and ledges, throwing caution to the wind. Urban exploration is one of their favorite pass times. Got to find the best places to tag!

	This is it. This is what I choose. I'm yours. Love, love is a verb. Love is a doing word.		The closest thing to family I've ever had. There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

	Maybe we'll be okay. Like an empty canvas, hear me cry. Like a masterpiece, I'm in your eyes. Now your colors are all in front of me. We're a picture perfect oddity.		The cuddliest, hottest, most radiant teddy bear in the world. You'll never see the courage I know. It's color's richness won't appear within your view. I'll never glow the way that you glow

"A dear friend, and often a much-needed reminder that there's more in the world than one's comfortable four walls." - Asbolus

"There's so much more to them than what I see. I know that. I someday they'll let me in all the way, but I'm not holding my breath. What we've got is fine, now, we're making it work." - Jack

"The outside observer might think that there's something insincere about how Lux can swing from petty to cloying, from intense to bored. As if there's a single 'real Lux' and the rest are all acting. But that's not a accurate; it's all so very real that it's sometimes jarring. Which isn't to say they don't hide their feelings, when said feelings feel like they might be unpleasant or inconvenient. They are a Winter, after all." - Mearcstapa
