Overview
Treasa (Treh-Sah) is an Elvar of the Vedryn clan. A lesser noble of the Seelie Court, she has journeyed from her plane to build her power, to further the cause of her mistress, and to interact once more with the mortal world.

GM Notes
- Here are general tips I have for running Seelie Fae. These apply to Treasa.
- Like most fae, she's snarky and an asshole to people she doesn't respect. However, she's not always like that. She can be quite nice and charming if she wants to, generally to manipulate people, but if she somehow actually respects you, it might be genuine.
- She hates people who think of spirits as lesser to them. She also hates people who read one paragraph on Elvar and think they know everything about her. The arrogance of a mortal thinking that, makes her quite annoyed. If she gets either vibe from a person, she will treat them quite terribly, though the exact way varies.
- She enjoys verbal sparring with people. If they are good at it, her opinion might improve. She doesn't enjoy blatant disrespect and insolence though. There is a game to it. If they are acting the obstinate fool, sometimes she will react poorly.
- She serves Lady Fiona Ruairc, enforcing the hidden will of the Queen through the shadows.
