Keeper of the In-Between

You walk the borders no one else notices — the moment between sunset and night, the hush between heartbeats, the line between dream and waking. Whether chosen by Queen Titania herself or simply born at a time when the veil thinned, you have always belonged to the in-between. You protect it… and play within it, because rules don’t hold the same weight in places half in shadow.
