Canon Iteration Explanation:
"Away from the Bloom, who even is Delloso de la Rue? I've been so long associated with it, I hardly know where I end and it begins."
The majority of Rueβs stay in Apoc was about coming to terms with who they truly are. In canon, Rue gave the whole of their life to their job and that combined with the fact they were never seen without a glamour, meant that they never once got to try living as themself. Living under the guise of something you are not for so long, especially in a role that came with such heavy expectations, Rue spent many months in Apoc struggling with what pieces of themself were really them and what were merely the expectations that had been so unjustly thrust upon them. It is still a journey for them, to discover who they are, but just having the freedom to even explore it has made all the difference
Along those lines, Rue has also been learning to allow themself to be more animalistic than they ever have before. Masquerading as an elf for multiple millennia, Rue had untrained themself from any owlish behavior or sounds, never walking on all fours and never ever stretching their wings in public, no matter how cramped they might be pressed so tight at their side. But in Apoc, with the support of their husband and their other non-human friends, Rue has been able to let go of some of that desperate need for control over themself, to let more natural characteristics peek through. Itβs still a struggle, because even this far removed, Rue canβt quite shake the feeling others will think of them as a beast if they act in such a way, but theyβre working on it.
Apoc also introduced modern human society and technology to Rue. They absolutely adore texting and trashy reality tv.
They also married their fiancΓ© - Hob - and unofficially adopted a gaggle of teenagers as their own. For the first time in their life, Rue has true family.

Folkmore Roles & Attributes β
Skills:
βͺ Event planning - Rue spent millennia working as the most prestigious event planner among the fae. Though their biggest event was The Bloom (the fairy world's celebration of a grand swell of magic), they also were in high demand for weddings, engagements, and the like. They were known for their intricate and artistic vision and their ability to bring that vision to life. This is both a skill and a passion of theirs and something that continues to drive Rue forward, even if they no longer run The Bloom.
βͺ Clothing Design & Creation - As a hulking owlbear among the slim, delicate fey, Rue always found it very difficult to fit in among their courtiers. Even masquerading as an elf, most furniture was not suitable for their size and and there was really nothing for them in the world of fashion. And being such a passionate fashion forward being, Rue took it up themself to create their own clothing. We see in canon that Rue themself enjoys dressing up and trying new styles, but when disguising as an elf, we really see some of those designs take shape. Previously in Apoc, Rue worked as a tailor for all of the non-humans who needed more customized clothing that human-owned shops would not provide.
βͺ Leadership Skills - As an event planner who worked events for entire fairy courts, Rue has the organizational skills, the problem solving skills, the general talent for managing a group of people to help coordinate for their big events. Most of them require entire workforces, just to make sure every piece is perfect.
βͺ Etiquette - Rue also has a very practiced experience in etiquette. Coming from a very Austen-esque Period, it was something that has been a part of them their whole life. Being in more modern times in Apoc has not changed much, except that Rue no longer writes novel-length text messages with both a Salutation and a Complimentary Close.
Canon Abilities:
As it always does, D&D comes into play to complicate everything. Luckily in the case of Rue, their magic, though important to what they do, isnβt quite as destructive and game-breaking as some other classes. Rue is a level 9 Bard and as a bard, they cast spells through using music as their magical focus. For Rue, thatβs their voice.
βͺ Most of Rue's more mundane magical spells can be summarized as minor, cosmetic effects. Much of what they've learned over the years has been in service to their job as an event coordinator, so it's been more about cultivating an experience than about doing anything relating to combat.
βͺ For their more powerful spells, Rue's magic is mostly related to inspiring effects in others through their music. Rue can influence allies to perform better at tasks, to have their wounds healed, or to disrupt any mind-influencing effects on their person.
βͺ As a fey, Rue also can glamour themself into a very convincing disguise of an elf.
βͺ As an owlbear, Rue has some increased strength for their size, but this isn't something Rue would even think to use to their advantage.
Role: Legend
Role Qualities/Attributes: Since they already have one pair of wings, Rue will manifest a halo of living flowers above their head.
Role Reasoning: Though Rue has some characteristics that lend them to the other two options - their rather dogmatic nature, for one - at their heart, Rue is courageous, compassionate, and considering the unfair treatment done to them by their former court, kind. Rue is a giver by nature, something that was likely instilled upon them as a cub, but as an adult, it comes to them so naturally. They see others in need of help - Grabalba engaged in a loveless political union, Binx finally wanting to take off her glamour and be her true self, even Chirp and Squak, who Rue challenged into opening themselves up to finding real love - and they simply must dive in to assist. I think Rue's progression would go along the lines of how it has been since end of canon - Rue taking more agency of themself and trying to find that perfect balance between selflessness and self-care. But with such a new heavy title in their paws, Rue may be more inclined to push themselves to the side again, in favor of doing too much for others again.
