Also has the uncanny talent of reading animal tracks as well as navigation.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Thumbelina is the physical representation of the man of the moon's wish, thus she carries purely innocent thoughts and also behaves as such. She is naive and innocent as she is still learning the world and it's customs, though she can appear childish and impulsive at times she generally keeps to being quite level headed and graceful.<br/><strong>Backstory:</strong>There once was an old woman who more than anything in the world wanted a child of her own, an perfect being she could love and cherish in her lonely life.She had been left heartbroken and alone after the passing of her dear husband that while they had indeed grown into their twilight years together they sadly were not able to conceive a child.That was why each and every night the old widow would take her place right by the window, and by the light of a widdled candle she would pray to the glowing moon for one simple wish; a child.Each night she would wish and wish with all her might, but alas she was always left empty no matter how hard she yearned.That was until one fateful evening when the moon was at it's fullest, the old woman nearly at her wits end made one last teary wish that the man of the moon would grant her.When the morning sun had finally rose the old widow stirred from her resting place having fallen asleep by the windowsill the night prior, that when she had woke she found a small figure resting just at her fingertips simply curled up and slumbering just as peacefully as she had been.Overjoyed the widow marveled in the small lithe girl who was no bigger than her own thumb, whose whispy locks of gentle spun gold and wide doe like eyes full of peridot made her reflect fondly of the angel that had been sent to her, the widow finally having her wish granted by the moon itself as she lovingly named the small girl Thumbelina.<br/><br/>The widow doted everything on her new child who was wide eyed and curious as each day they would set out on adventures to teach the girl the world she knew nothing of, from towers of books to seeing the babbling brook nearby Thumbelina was oh so curious and each day she yearned to see more of what she did not know. As time passed the two enjoyed one another's company and truly had become an loving family, but fate had it's own gnarled hand to thrust into the fold as the winter month began so did the widow's time on this earth. Stricken down with sickness the widow was unable to move as fast as she used to, old weary bones and fatigue taking much out of the old soul as she became bedridden and worse for wear. Thumbelina would read what she was taught to her mother figure in hopes she could heal the widow to see that warm smile on her pale lips once more, but as the days turned into weeks the girl found her mother withering away much like the dying leaves of the old elm just outside.One night the widow weakly begged for Thumbelina to come to her side as she took the small girl into her palm to hold close one last time, cradling the child against her leathery cheek as the droplets of her tears ran down her cheek like a flowing river. The widow knew her time was indeed short as on her last dying breath she told Thumbelina to explore the world for the both of them, to take all the life lessons she had been taught and grow into the lovely young woman she knew she could be.<br/><br/>Having been brought into the world from nothing Thumbelina was left devastated at the passing of her mother who had nurtured and taught her so much, the girl at a loss of what to do with herself as she took her mother's dying wish to heart. Stepping out into the world was something that brought much fear and anxiety to the young woman who was no bigger than a mouse, the girl traveling for what felt like days until she had come across an eccentric frog and her gaggle of sons out by the brook she used to explore with her mother.Having nearly walked herself to near death in her depression and painful loss the frog mother took the young girl in and brought her back to health, doting on the fairy like child much like her human mother had as it soothed the aching hole left within her life for a short time. Though fate once more would test the young Thumbelina as the kindness she was shown began to run dry, the frog mother finding for Thumbelina to repay her debt she now owed she must marry her son. The frog repulsed young Thumbelina as she cried out for any other way she may repay her debt, but the frog mother would not budge as she herself was desperate to marry her son off to a being she felt was deserving of him. That was when Thumbelina decided to run away in the dead of winter, that freezing to death was an better option than to be married to someone she knew in her heart she could not ever love.<br/><br/>The young girl ran as fast as her tiny legs could carry her, the hot burn of her tears flowing across her wind bitten features as she fought against the powerful wind and sleet itself, becoming numb to everything around herself as she sobbed.Her soft cries however were heard not by an animal but rather a passing fairy in the flesh, the small man lured by the melodic cry that sounded so sad and yet so beautiful all at the same time.Coming across a young woman so ethereal and captivating left the male fairy in a stupor, the man introducing himself as Phillip the prince of the fairies as he marveled in the beauty of a creature he had never seen before. He showed her kindness and warmth that Thumbelina had only known with her human mother and for that she began to fall madly in love with the fairy prince, taking her back to his kingdom nestled within the lush bed of flowers and nature itself to show Thumbelina to beings much like herself.With every passing day their love for one another grew as they battled with both wit and grace, the prince an famed fencer as he made it a point to show his love the finer details of the art of defense and battle so that they would grow closer and closer together. The couple were to be wed in the springtime when the flowers were at the fullest bloom, a day Thumbelina knew her mother would have cherished to see as the impending day grew closer and closer. With Phillip by her side Thumbelina was given a new name, Maia, and she would start her new life of happiness and more love than she could have ever expected.<br/><br/>Fate however would once more rear it's ugly head as but a day before their wedding tragedy would strike. It would transpire during the late glow of a fine spring midnight moon, the horrible cry of war soon plaguing the fairy kingdom as the slimy and green faced monsters of her past had come to reap war across the peaceful kingdom in the name of their own ruler Rumplestiltskin. The frogs held their vendetta against the fairies for some time, the scorned suitor of Thumbelina leading the ranks to lay waste to the fairies and claim his prize without mercy.The fairies fought with all their might but were outnumbered by the vast tact and forces of the frogs who were cruel and revengeful, Phillip turning to his love ushered Maia to flee as he fought hand and hand along side his kingdom. Sadly the prince would perish in the flames of war, the frog commander dealing the fatal blow before his lover as Maia cried out in anguish. The moon had not wanted this for his precious gift of life and in the early wane he gave Thumbelina one last wish, a gift that would allow her to vanquish the frogs once and for all.<br/><br/>The moon granted Thumbelina the gift of changing her size as the once small woman grew to epic proportions in the matter of a moment, her towering form soon raising high above the rose bush that was the fairy kingdom as all those who looked on were horrified. Vanquish them she did as in a fit of anger Thumbelina smashed every last frog she saw beneath her feet, using all her fury and anger to end them once and for all until there was nothing but silence that filled the warm spring night. Collapsing onto her knees Thumbelina wept for her lost love, for her future and happiness that had been snatched from her,but there was something that she had also been given. She now appeared as a human much like her mother, and with such an ability she knew what she had to do.She had to seek revenge for her Phillip, to conquer this Rumplestiltskin and end his reign of evil once and for all. From then on Maia set out to learn her abilities and to train herself to prepare for the war the evil had caused, she would explore her gift and once ready she would take him on to set the balance of good and evil back in place.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Orientation:</strong>Heterosexual<br/>
