Background

Mortal Life

Jane Kristiansson was a flower child who came to Nevada with a busload of other hippies to partake of a spiritual journey in the desert. She was sixteen and it was 1968. They had driven down from San Francisco (she was originally from Wisconsin), through Death Valley, to the desert outside of Las Vegas. One night, lying naked beneath the stars and wondering at their beauty, a star began to grow brighter and brighter until she was lost in its light.

Durance

Timeless, cold, dark, and alone. Eventually her dreams of her life before were strong enough that she fell, burning, into the thorns of the hedge. She made her way, bloody and broken, back to the world.

Changeling Life

It was 1987 when she emerged from the Hedge and her experience had changed her. She no longer had aspirations of spirituality and ideology, she craved experience and the material. She originally joined the Moon Court and spent her first year reveling in her long-denied appetites. She worked for Lady Scarlet, gorged herself on fine food and drink, and indulged in any sensual experience she could find. It left her ultimately unfulfilled. She had lost something and nothing she found would fill the void it had left behind. The turning point was when she came across her fetch, an aging prostitute on the streets of Las Vegas seeking in her own way to fill the void she felt. Taking a long, hard look at herself and her court, Jane decided that she needed a change. When it came time to renew her vows, she surprised everyone by swearing to the Sun Court. Using some contacts she'd made working as an escort, she secured a job as a manager at a casino and quickly moved up through the ranks. By 1992, she had secured funding to open her own, the Starlight Casino, and was the primary financier of the Sun Court. She found some meaning in building an empire and acquiring things she desired. She refined her tastes, becoming a patron of the arts, theater, and fine cuisine. Her life changed again in 1996 when Fiona returned to the world and fell in love with her. Fiona's passion stirred something in her that she hadn't felt since she was taken. They became lovers and partners, inseparable and oath-bound. Finally somewhat contented, she's now turned her eyes towards leadership of the court. She has no specific gripe with Leo's running of the court, she just wants to be in charge. Control soothes her and makes her feel safe and meaningful.
