“And wit was his vain frivolous pretence of pleasing others, at his own expense.”
- Wilde

About Shoe the Pixie:

She is voluptuous, audacious, wanton and can be a bit of a libertine, but well-behaved enough for all that. Usually. When she remembers. She is insouciant, capricious and easily distracted, but of a warm and willing heart, hot-blooded and quick-witted, emotionally generous when emotionally engaged.  She can sometimes become melancholy, but is naturally of a sanguine temperament, artistic and passionate.

She is wordwhore and strangegirl, and makes too many, if any, apologies.  She maintains an astonishing fondness for adjectives, and likes to gather them and twine them about herself like word-garlands.  She likes to spell and present words in interesting ways; once one knows the rules of English, one gets to break them. The rules of English are about the only rules she pays much attention to, and mostly because they make no sense.  She feels strongly about punctuation; the matter has led to fisticuffs.

Her great loves are language, literature, music and art, her two most constant lovers being the sun and the wind – though she has a tempestuous seasonal affair with rain that has been going on since she was small – like all good affairs, it sometimes leaves her cold and bedraggled, in dire need of hot cocoa. She has been making pictures since the dawn of time, and occasionally makes them on paper. She has been writing collaborative fiction and the occasional guilty-pleasure roleplay for about four years, and is the admin of the retro-futurist writing board Clockwork Lullabye. She has been writing since a young age: she once wrote a novel in Primary School, only to find out much later that it was a genderswitch Tom Sawyer.  She’s never really gotten over that.
