Trixie. Oh how I love Trixie. In many ways, Trixie has been kind of an ideal for me, someone I would have enjoyed finding for Bear and I. Now, I’m less interested in submissive partners, but still…
Why does this fit in with the Pagan Blog Project? Well, because Willowisp is a Pagan town, plunked in the middle of nowhere. All of my characters are magickal somehow, in fact. My aim in writing about Willowisp is to create that kind of Pagan community that most of us would like to see, but haven’t found.
SPOILER ALERTS! If you want to read the book fresh, without knowing the characters before they’re introduced in the story, you probably shouldn’t read this.
Trixie is incredibly kind and loving. She’s kind of Vine’s heart, the one who brings warmth and life to their home together. She’s Vine’s stability, and the ‘good thing’ that Vine gets to look forward to through all the chaos that she’s going through in Altar of Change.
She’s a trans woman, Filipino, and comes from an ultra-conservative Catholic family. No, they’re NOT fine with her transsexuality, and they don’t know about her kink leanings at all. She’s elegant, and refined, and loves dressing to the nines whenever she gets the chance. She’s also street smart and tough, having spent time in the kink and queer scenes in Atlanta. She’s a sweet submissive, eager to please, but also a smartass, and she and Vine giggle a lot.
Here’s her character sheet.. More details than you could possibly want. However, if you find the character sheet interesting, and think you may be able to use it for your character creation, by all means, use it! 🙂
