Backstory

The youth formerly known as Alex Volkov been associated with the Lost longer than most Changelings have survived. After a chance encounter with someone fresh from the Heddge, he was ensorceled as a general gopher and errand boy for the Philadelphia freehold. His desire to be a part of this world was helped along no small amount by the fact that leaving a troubled home life to hang out with magic fairies is the coolest thing ever if you're as much a nerd as he was. Besides associating with younger members of the Freehold, his main point of contact was Emily, an Fairest that really dug the whole court thing, and the one responsible for his ensorcelment. Emily invited him along on her various shenanigans, and teaching him how to into courts and interpersonal politics...Nobody could say WHAT about Alex she liked, but she did. So there. Shut up.

Which did a fantastic job of backfiring when Emily's connection to the Wyrd grew powerful enough to affect her mind. To her, this was just another someone to prove wrong, which is not the attitude you want to take when your Clarity drops like a stone. Alex tried to stay by her side through this and defend her as best as a mortal can, but the Summer court was having none of this; she was a Betwixt, a threat to the Freehold, and had to be dealt with before she went Fae. What with the big sister complex, and the pledges made to her through the years, Alex felt compelled to tell her before it was too late. Seeing no other option, Emily came up with a cunning plan: Her mortal thrall always wished she could be as awesome as all of her Changeling friends were, though she learned early on that vocalizing this belief was a bad idea, and wanted some pretty radical changes to her body. Something about being a transsomething? Doesn't matter! She had a plan!

So the Freehold was no longer safe for Emily. Not a problem! She'd known for a long time now how to get to Arcadia, and did just that with Alex in tow, a pledge made: He sticks with her until the heat dies down in reality, and since they're already there she can use the place's crazy magic to make him a changeling, whatever kind he likes! It's perfect! Except how it wasn't. Almost as soon as they arrived, Emily started pretty much dominating the bizzare, arcane courts of the True Fae and making a purchase for herself and

After years of this torture, Alex barely resembled his old self at all, his wish finally granted. Mostly. Barely even realizing she'd changed at all, so used to having to babysit her mortal thrall, she was able to escape simply by running away. Finding herself in Chicago, a phone call to her old friends caught her up: It had been three years. Philadelphia was no longer safe, either; her Fetch had become a Hunter for the sole purpose of terrorizing her old friends. Stuck in Chicago until he can be dealt with, the now-girl known as Mira is all alone, and in over her head. Be careful what you wish for, right?
