HappyHappySad

I'm never really Happy, and I'm never really Sad. But I'm a pretty bad lover, and I'll probably be a deadbeat dad.

-Dave Malloy, Ghost Quartet

 

Happy, a Werecoyote, never meant to be a House Leader. Actually, they never meant to be a Literomancer. But Fate has a way of making even the most reluctant of heroes answer the call to action.
 

Happy's (Unwilling and Somewhat Unwitting) Rise to Leadership

Happy was born and subsequently delivered to their father, who was part of a touring dance troupe, without having known their birth parent. But they never lacked for family, as every other member of the troupe was either an auntie, an uncle, or a cousin. They grew up around the stage, although they prefer special effects to performing.   In the aftermath of The Third Word War, fearing for their family's safety, Happy left their family behind to join the Literomancers, but they still wanted to keep their head down. They joined the Open Hearts and Pens of House Ailurus, who were a Minor House at the time, and decided they would do their best while maintaining as much anonymity as possible.   And then, in The Fourth Word War, House Ailurus needed Bodyguards and Happy somehow ended up a member of the Ferals.   And then, in the Tourney of Tales after Word War 4, Ailurus needed a new House Librarian and Happy just happened to be in the Archives when the job was posted.   And then, in The Fifth Word War, Ailurus was elevated to Major House status.   And then, in the Tourney of Tales after Word War 5, House Ailurus had a sudden vacancy in House Leadership and Happy somehow managed to anti-power-grab worse than the rest of the House and ended up as the Seneschal and Co-House Leader of Ailurus.   Helping lead one of the Major Literomantic Houses was never Happy’s plan, but now that she’s here, she’s going to do the best she can. Often with more enthusiasm than expertise, but don’t hold that against her.  

 

Physical Description

Body Features

Happy keeps a fairly androgynous presentation, preferring to wear suits whenever possible. She prefers to keep her auburn hair, the color matching the fur on her ears and tails, in a braid or braid crown for ease of movement. When not wearing her House colors, she likes to lounge in dark purples and blues.   Each of Happy’s tails is fluffy and about half the length of her arm. She currently has four tails, although the number continues to increase. Half her tails are a rusty auburn with white tips, while the other half are white with auburn tips.

Facial Features

No one outside of HappyHappySad’s family and closest friends have seen their real face. Their preferred face coverings are theater masks, although they will also wear other kinds of masks, provided that those masks cover their mouth. During peacetime, they prefer to wear a Comedy Theater Mask and typically go by “Happy”. During wartime, they will often wear a Tragedy Theater Mask. While Undead, they wore a mask that only covered their lower face and went by “Misty”.

Physical quirks

Every year, Happy gains another tail after surviving the Word War. She joined the Literomantic House of Ailurus after Word War 3 while it was still a Minor House, with two tails. She now has four tails after surviving two more Word Wars in Ailurus.

Mental characteristics

Gender Identity

What's a gender identity? Can I eat that?

-Asks Happy, like the feral little gremlin they are

Sexuality

"So," Father said, sidling closer to the young girl who sat by the side of the stage. "You're getting to be that age. Do you have any girls you like? Or boys? Or both?"

"No, thank you!" Happy replied cheerfully.
