Her hair is thicker then most and even has very distinctive mane-like qualities about it; they are very noticeable when her hair is let down without being tied back.

History:Former unicorn, was almost killed by the mortals for her horn, sought help from a band of fae; they tricked her and made her drink their wine. She changed and they abandoned her. She hunted them, then changed, and chose to become a better person and make the best of life. Became a council member.
Housing: A quaint room among the fae council is her main area of living; storing all of her clothes, items, and anything else she feels the need to have. However, Tryne does own a rather large herb garden that she takes care of. She's quite admit about it's care, since located in the herb's garden are some very rare healing plants, which Raylene needs for her cures.
Pets/Mounts: Tryne has only one mount Delana, a calm mare that comes when Tryne whistles. Very laid-back.
Then there's Aleron, her smoked-meat loving common kestrel, who is her contact between the High council and herself when she's away. Aleron is the fastest way to reach her quickly if she's not in the immediate area. Comes when you say a special word. Aleron is always with her, even when she's not outside the (éan=means bird in Irish) Very few know this word.
Clothes: Her clothes are revolved around the seasons as she spends alot, it not most of her time outdoors. Tryne has found that she wears soft colors, but she will wear darker depending on mood. She has a soft leather cloak she wears in the winter, and often paired with soft leather lace-up half-calf boots. In the winter she has a black bear's fur lined cloak that hangs well at her knees. It is very warm, and it's often paired with elk-lined boots. In the autumn and spring she wears heavier and lighter consistencies. She often wears varieties of shirts and skits, pants, all in the fae fashion, but most are situated for outdoor use.
Food/Drinks: She enjoys a variety of food, from the bitter to the sweet, she enjoys it all. However she enjoys vegetables and fruit the best, she will consume meat... but only in small quantities. Tryne does drink water and the various wines drunk by the fae.
Friends:
Raylene Hope; A very close friend, one she can say she trusts. She is like a sister to her.
Ah yes, the past. Tryne’s is quite the interesting one, being a former unicorn. Yes she did all the unicorns expected stuff, help the wary traveler appear when someone needed hope, banish evil from the forest and stop it from taking control of everyone and everything.
However, Tryne was part of the Four, which were four unicorns that were charged with the protection of the forest and the care of the unicorns that sought the forest for protection. When the mortals came they started to hunt the unicorns in the forest, killing them for their blood, hide, hair and their most prized item: their horn. Tryne was against them from the beginning, however she was sent to make a truce with the mortals, and keep them from killing the rest of her kind. However she was met at the door and though they acted kind and accepted her with open arms, once she was lead deep into their camp, they attacked. She fought bravely, but she was no match. She escaped, but just barely. Her wounds were deep and so many that her magic could not save her. She was drained, and losing the battle to stay alive.
Tryne was found on the verge of death by a group of fae. They healed her and treated her with at most respect. However, when she was almost healed they requested her to become their mount and join their group. She would have no such thing, so she declined. That night they drugged her medicine; and in revenge and anger made her drink their wine and eat their food. She was enabling to fight back and promptly passed out.
She awoke the next day to find the camp where they had living, to be empty and deserted. Tryne also found out a couple other things. She could no longer talk to the forest, nor could she talk to the forest's animals or access her magic. Then there was the completely transformation with her body. She no longer had fur, her tail was gone and her hooves are now hands. Her horn was nowhere in sight.
Then her memories of what they had done to her swamped her. To put it lightly, she lost her temper. She ran through the forest in a furious rage trying to pursue the fae. Tryne felt like she'd been running forever; but she hadn't covered the distance she would have in her other form. She stopped, and nearly passed out from exhaustion.
The upcoming weeks and months for Tryne would be hard, she would learn through trial and error how to handle and care for her new body. She wasn't able to access her magic until her fifth year in her 'fae' form. And she still wasn't able to control it. She pursued the group who'd changed her relentlessly; jumping at any word about them. However each time she seemed to be getting closer the word of them would be harder to find. The members slowly disappeared from the map; and soon there was no word at all.
Furious and desperate, she sought the comfort of the forest. However what awaited her inside would change her life forever. She went to the lake, one that she'd often visited when she was a unicorn only to find that it was already occupied. It was another unicorn, one of the four guardians. She beamed and approached thinking this was her chance to re-join the ranks in the unicorn hierarchy. However, when Tryne's brethren sighted her she bolted, seeing only the form of the fae she bore. Tryne was crushed, and stayed at the lake for many months... Thinking her life over.
Tryne ended up deciding that she would join the faes' rank system since the unicorns would not accept her. Tryne would use her abilities and magic to good use.
The fae were both apprehensive and surprised of her intentions, doubting that she truly changed. They put her on the lowest rank. Tryne was angered by this, but decided she'd prove her worth toward them.
And she proved her worth over and over again.
With each example they slowly bestowed her with their respect, until she joined the ranks in the High Council.
