- Excerpt
Puck is a Summer fey, a servant of the Summer King, Oberon, and a maker of mischief. He has red hair and green eyes and a trickster personality; he is best known for cracking jokes, playing pranks and angering older, stronger fey just to see if he can get one up on them.
When Meghan Chase was born, Puck was charged with watching over her and keeping her blind to the faery world. Disguised as human Robbie Goodfell, Puck kept his secret hidden until the Iron King kidnapped Meghan’s brother and replaced him with a changeling. Defying direct orders from his king in order to help his best friend, Puck revealed his true nature and guided Meghan into the Nevernever.
Along with the standard Summer glamour, Puck can shape-shift into various animals, including a horse and a raven. He is also able to create clones of himself made of leaves and twigs, and often throws balls of fur at his opponents in battle, which transform into animals such as bears or badgers.
Puck is a formidable fighter, small, fast and cunning, and rather than a sword, he wields two daggers. His long-standing rivalry with his former best friend, Ash, often leads to duels, which he doesn’t take seriously, often sending clones to fight for him while he makes sarcastic comments from a safe distance.
Puck defied orders to help Meghan, his best friend, at least three times, and eventually professed his love for her. When he was forced to accept that Meghan would choose to be with Ash, Puck withdrew from them both. Yet when trouble followed Meghan and Ash into exile, Puck came to help despite their rocky relationship. While preparing Meghan to fight the false king, their friendship was almost destroyed when Meghan discovered a secret Puck kept about her family. In the end, Puck and Meghan reconciled and Puck stood by her and Ash as Meghan fought her way into the false king’s fortress to save all of Faery.
After Meghan became the Iron Queen and Ash set off on his quest to find a way to be with her, Puck tagged along with Ash, with the explanation that he wanted Meghan to be happy, even if it wasn’t with him. He accompanied Ash to the End of the World to help him earn a soul and become human, and the two friends reconciled their long-standing rivalry.
Good to know: Puck is loyal to his court and even more loyal to anyone who earns his respect. He will go to the ends of the earth for his friends and make them laugh the whole way. He can also drive even the most even-tempered person utterly mad with his pranks. He makes the best friend and the worst possible enemy. Do not get on his bad side lest you be turned into a hedgehog.
