"Among the fey courts are whispers of the games that the true nobility play"
You are among this upper echelon of grace and propriety. While most fey nobles never leave the comfort of their court, some venture out to see what common folk of other races call living or to engage in politics and amass power separate from their own court. While other races may be ignorant of your social status within the courts, your physical bearing and speech patterns give you away as a member of a higher tier of society. Most fey consider other races beneath them actively showing disdain to other beings. Adept at politics and with a voracious appetite for power, fey nobility use any means to reach their goal whether it be a simple assassination or a grand scheme to shift the balance of power ever so slightly that they may gain an edge. To fey nobility a hundred year power struggle is simply another turn in an ever changing game of power and status.

While you are indeed noble, your foreign and otherworldly grace mark you as different. Nobility of other cultures recognizes your status, through either dialogue or observation, and treats you accordingly. Common folk regard you as a marvel or as an outcast to be shunned. Your alien features make you difficult to read and as such you are easily able to navigate conversations to an end that benefits you. Often using inherent magic to charm beings into helping them, fey are considered dangerous by normal folk usually leading to violence should they catch a fey using magic on another being.
Being of noble blood your appearance matches your status. Your beauty can be breathtaking to behold, often causing you to inadvertently draw onlookers to any deeds you may perform in a public setting.
Suggested Characteristics
Being fey on top of being noble often leads to a haughty disposition. Unconcerned with anyone's problems other than their own, fey nobles are malicious and clever when dealing with any individual. Any ends justify the means to a fey noble and that should reflect on the actions you take when dealing with others. Like most mortal nobles, fey enjoy the luxuries of life and are accustomed to being pampered. With powerful magic accompanying their otherworldly beauty they are used to getting what they want when they want it. Being denied is something that enrages and excites a fey noble which can lead to some interesting dialogue or combat if the fey in question is partial to settling matters with violence rather than words.

"Wether it be fey or mortal all will bow or suffer."
Even among the fey there are those called royalty. Beautiful beyond compare and with a disposition akin to a cobra, fey royalty are born to lead and command. Children among fey are rare, among fey royalty it is even more so. Fey who live to see the birth of a new fey royal can attest to the absolute power that even a new royal can wield. Known only amongst the very inner circles of the court, fey royalty are rarely seen by those of lower status among the courts, outside the courts fey royalty are considered myth or simply a fantastical tale only bards would imagine.
Wherever you go, other fey recognize your royal status. Most fey will obey commands you give them and will help you with anything you need. Fey from other courts are also obligated to help you if the relationship between your court and theirs is friendly. Courts that are opposed to yours will do anything short of killing you to slow your quest. Being royalty grants a mild charm effect even when not actively casting a spell that charms, this effect only works on those of weak mind or on animals, causing those who are affected to offer any services they possess or for animals to attempt to help you through non-magical means. You cannot command those who are affected, they are simply more receptive to your requests and are more likely to help you assuming that you have not done anything that would cause them to have a negative opinion of you.
