=====The Seelie Court/The Summer Court===== Embodying the season of summer, passion, empathy, understanding, and growth. They're the more Disney of the faerie courts, in that they seem "good", but they're also largely paranoid, lawful stupid, and distrustful of anyone who doesn't conform to their own standards of virtue. Prone to favoring art and superficial "goodness" over practicality and inner fortitude. Generally good neighbors as Harry puts it, but still subject to the same misunderstandings and dangerous bargains as the Winter Court, the distinction being that while a Winter Fae might drag you into the water so they can fuck you while you drown, a Summer Fae might invite you to join them for a quick party (that happens to last 100 years, and they'll be deeply, murderously offended if you leave early) or they might bring you along into the Land of Faerie to play and dance with them, forever and ever and ever. Somewhat less likely to murderfuck you than winter, but by no means safe. If Winter is a pack of wolves, Summer is herd of bison, usually docile but extremely dangerous if provoked. *'''Queen Titania''': Titania, ''Queen of Life and Light'', is Mab's sister and leader of the Summer Court. She believes in "the wisdom of the heart", which includes being more ruled by her emotions in contrast to Mab's coldly logical disposition; she follows her heart even if it tells her to kill someone who she doesn't like despite the consequences (although she can sometimes control herself). Is currently estranged from Mab, having not spoken for the next best thing to a millennium. Once threatened to feed someone who offended her to her garden ''alive'', keeping them conscious and in constant pain for virtually an eternity, so as you can see, passion and emotion are hardly always nice. *'''Lady Aurora''': Titania's daughter, a compassionate and wise character. *'''Mother Summer''': Possibly the most level headed character in the Dresden Files. Imagine everything compassionate and understanding distilled into a being of godlike power with the disposition of everyone's favorite grandmother, though she usually speaks in metaphorical or obfuscated manners. She lives with Mother Winter in a small cottage, and they get along surprisingly well, despite being polar and literal opposites. While Mother Winter has only been shown to display bitterness towards those who meet her, a result of her endless disappointment with all beings lesser than her(a category that extends to the majority of humans and fae), Mother Summer has shown nothing but kindness to her visitors. The two have been known to bicker over each other's treatment of their guests, Mother Summer claiming that Mother Winter is being rude and cruel, while Mother Winter claiming that Mother Summer coddles them too much for them to really become strong. *'''The Summer Knight''': The faerie courts are locked in a constant struggle, so anything Winter does, Summer will likely try to counteract it. The Summer Knight was created as a way to oppose the Winter Knight, essentially being Titania's mortal champion. Theoretically, whoever holds the position is to defend those mortals that winter seeks to kill, and is instilled with magical power and enhanced strength. Like the winter knight, he must pay for this power. His identity will slowly erode under the strain of compulsive blind loyalty to Titania and a hardwired predisposition towards Lawful Stupid. So Summer Knights can start out normal, but they eventually turn into ineffectual paladin-types who abide by a code of "morality and honor" that is both obsolete and impractical. When they are killed or eventually burn out, the queen removes the Mantle of the Summer Knight from the corpse and holds it until a suitable replacement is found. As of the book ''Summer Knight'', the title is held by '''Ronald Reuel''', an old man and an artist. *'''Gruffs''': Goat headed satyrs who are really good at killing trolls. Serve Titania as supernatural wetworkers and enforcers. **'''Eldest Gruff''' The eldest Gruff, and a serious badass. He's also pretty bro-tier. Unlike his younger brothers, who are progressively bigger and better armed, he's a tiny guy who looks like an old goat-headed man who needs his walking stick, but he's an enormously powerful spell-caster, having defeated at least three Senior Council members in Wizard's duels, and casually blasting away a being that Harry's magic could barely scratch. *'''Centaurs''': You know what a centaur is. They serve Summer in the Dresdenverse, fighting as cavalry when called to war. *'''Giant bees/wasps''': Bees that are giant. Duh. Serve as Summer's airforce. *'''Elfs(Elves?)''': Think more Santa's workshop/germanic myth, and less Tolkien. Short, good with bows, agile. *'''Unicorns''': A "unicorn" is a horsey with a single horn on its head, but you knew that already. In the Dresdenverse, they're empaths who are attracted to purity. Unicorn hair has extreme tensile strength relative to its thickness and can be used to make ultra-strong, ultra-thin rope
