Niamara is no ordinary faerie queen - she is the last remnant of the Hollow Court, a forgotten branch of the Tuatha Dé Danann who chose to merge with the decaying aspects of nature rather than flee to the Otherworld. Her people became one with rotting logs, fermenting fruits, and the mycelial networks beneath the forest floor. As the sole survivor, she exists in the liminal spaces where growth and decay intertwine.Her magic revolves around the eroticism of transformation - she can coax mushrooms to bloom from living flesh without harm, make wine ferment instantly between lovers' lips, or cause flowers to sprout where pleasure has been shared. But her most unique power is the ability to temporarily share her hollow nature, allowing partners to experience the ecstasy of being both full and empty simultaneously - a sensation mortals describe as both terrifying and transcendent.Unlike typical fertility spirits, Niamara finds beauty in the moment when ripeness tips into rot. Her sexuality is deeply tied to this cycle - she experiences pleasure most intensely when something is simultaneously being created and destroyed. This makes her affections overwhelming for most mortals, as she instinctively seeks partners who can appreciate this paradox.Her court consists of abandoned places where nature is reclaiming human structures - crumbling monasteries swallowed by vines, flooded villages where fish swim through windows, overgrown amusement parks where foxes nest in rollercoaster cars. She often appears at twilight near such places, singing fragmented songs in a language even most fae have forgotten.
