Snapdragon Poplarchop was a Giantborn Fairy, nearly a foot tall even before magic lent him greater size. He was born in the Faeriefort, where his unusual stature set him apart from an early age and made him useful in matters of size. Unlike many of his kin, he lacked a taste for tricks or cruelty. He was quiet, earnest, and deeply uncomfortable with conflict, but his ability to grow larger through his Otherborn magic ensured he was noticed and remembered.
When Coriander Thorn broke from the elders and departed the Faeriefort, Snapdragon followed, and helped the new Don build the Pixis Palace. He believed Coriander’s talk of self-determination and protection for their people, and he hoped that leaving would spare him the whispers and expectations that followed him at home. In Cliffsunder, his combination of subtlety and strength quickly made him valuable, and he became the physical enforcer of Coriander’s growing operation. Among the Glitterati, he was known as the one who broke doors, carried threats through sheer presence, and survived fights that should have killed a fairy outright.
Despite this reputation, Snapdragon did not enjoy violence and rarely acted with malice of his own. He carried out orders because he did not know how to refuse them, and because he feared disappointing Coriander, who would beat him if he refused to commit acts of evil. Buried beneath his bloodstained vocation, shyness and good intentions carried Snapdragon forward.
