White Fairy

The White Fairy is a mysterious, and as of yet, unseen character. She is the ruler of Geguul and the last of the great fairies.

Biography
When the Black Fairy shattered, becoming the basis of Tyme and mortality, the other fairies followed, each becoming one of the kingdoms and types of fairies in the new world. The White Fairy refused to shatter. She remained in her own kingdom, a misty, cold place in the sky. However, the White Fairy soon became lonely.

Somehow, humans from Tyme found their way to the White Fairy. The White Fairy made a bargain with these people. She would grant them vast magical powers and immortality in exchange for the humans' souls. Instead of dying, the people would be taken to Geguul and become giants. There they would remain for eternity. This became known as white-hatching. The White Fairy's gift came with another curse. To keep and grow their new powers, a person must take innocence, usually via eating children. To make this power potent, the innocence must be gained through a bargain, an echo of their deal with the White Fairy. White-hatched was shortened to Witch and all who bargained with the White Fairy for power became known as witches.

The witches, as predators of children, became the most feared beings in all of time. Their creator was not exempt from the people's hatred nor their fear. Strange events and phenomenon that bore the color white would make people fearful and whisper of Geguul and its queen. One grave insult in Tyme is to call someone a white-hearted witch.

Trivia

 * She is an aversion of the trope where white is associated with benevolence and light and black with darkness, evil magic and malevolence. The Tyme insult, white-hearted is similar to the real world version, black-hearted.
 * All the types of fairies correspond to one of the fairy books written by Andrew Lang and his wife, Leonora Blanche Alleyne. Only the White Fairy and the Black Fairy do not have a corresponding book nor their own fairy species.
