Naamah

Naamah is the leader of the Miami Autumn Court.

Biography
"I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t you shut your mouth, do what I tell you and start spreading the rumor of a spree killer on campus?"

Queen Naamah  rules  the  Autumn  Court with an  iron  hand  that  belies  her  seeming  youthfulness. She took power  after  several  years  without  an  Autumn  monarch, and while her supporters say she was chosen by the shade of Tom Hood himself, her opponents prefer to think that she was settled on simply because the Court as a whole was tired of infighting, and the other hopefuls thought she would be most easily controlled from behind the throne. As it turns out, they were wrong.

Headstrong and stubborn as only a teenager can be, Naamah backed that willfulness with a razor-sharp mind and a zealous devotion to the ideals of Tom Hood. After forcing all of her subjects to pledge fealty to her and forswear any continuation of grudges left over from the interregnum, she turned the wisest and most fearsome members of her Court to the task of focusing and harvesting the ambiance of fear that hangs over the city of Miami. Fear, Naamah believes, is a weapon as sharp as any sword and baneful as the coldest iron. When the city’s fear is sharp enough, it will be the key to destroying Grandfather Thunder.

Naamah is  a  tall,  willowy  girl  who  appears to be about 16 years old. Her skin is the pale of a china doll, made to seem even paler by her jet-black hair and deep green eyes. She wears round, wire-rimmed glasses and favors sheer, simply cut dresses in blacks and midnight blues. In her  fae  mien,  her  black  hair  takes  on  a  richness mortal eyes  have  never  dreamed  of,  with  layers  of  different shades of black that somehow all seem to be the purest black imaginable. Her skin becomes almost pure white, and her eyes lose any definition between white, iris and pupil. Her figure seems impossibly thin, as though she might snap in half like an autumn twig at any moment.

Naamah is  a  quiet,  calculating young woman  who  seeks  to  emulate  her  teacher  in  all things. She tries to lead the Autumn Court the way Tom Hood did,  but  the  infighting  and  chaos  since  his  murder have weakened her Court. In order to regain a foothold of power, and to muster the fear she believes will allow her to destroy Thunder, she is quite willing to make life a living terror for the mortals within her domain.
