D.C.

Seeming: Beast

Kith: Runnerswift

D.C., otherwise known as Darren Cooper, is a sociable, fast-talking man. He serves as the right hand of Spring Court, acting as a guide and counselor for the young queen Cecelia. Even before the current queen's arrival, D.C. has held this position; he aided in the founding of the Freehold. He openly has no intention of every accepting the crown himself, saying that he shall always be a friend to the Freehold, not its ruler. Less publicly, D.C. maintains that the danger inherent to his title as a Legate of the Black Apple prevents him from accepting the responsibility. He is still very active in the Freehold, acting as Spring's Archivist; he tends to have at least some hand in any event that involves more than a handful of Changelings.

While not traditionally handsome, D.C.'s charm more than makes up for it. As a Beast with an affinity towards large, flightless birds like the ostrich, feathers line his arms and fill his hair. His hands and feet end with talons and his knees bend backward, allowing him to sprint at incredible speeds. Though his mien gives an awkward avian quality to his features, his mask is of a lean, yet very muscled man.

D.C. is known be married to Dahl, with whom she has two adoptive daughters, Austin Cooper and Juno Cooper.
