Description
The Hatter aspect of the Modiste: wip - A hat covers our crown, the highest chakra and summit of our selves. It broadcasts who we are, or who we want to tell people we are. It can cloister one from the outside world. Hats give us agency in an otherwise volatile, ego-attacking world. When we wear our hat, the shield is up and sense of self intact. It creates anonymity as it hides the physical face; or on a deeper level, one’s individuality. In a hat, the ego self now represents a unit of many. Contrarily, a hat may point to personality. A cowboy’s stetson connotes his unyielding individualism and roaming spirit as he sets off on the hero’s journey. A woman in a wide brim has an air of worldly mystique and inaccessibility. A possessor of many hats may be a possessor of many personalities. A hat can signify ideas, which spring forth from just beneath it. An old hat is an old idea. To wear a lot of hats indicates many talents or skills. To keep something under your hat is to store a secret in the dark recesses of your mind. Not to be overlooked is the practical necessity of a hat - to shield from the elements or danger. Abstractly, they protect us from judgement, as we wear them to signal who we are before others can decide for themselves. With this in mind, it stands that hats at once protect us from the physical world and contain us to our own psychic condition of self-defined, ego-driven identity.
History
She was a former Long of The Demiurge. At some point, she saw through his falsehoods and fake inspiration, and set out to search for her real muse. That is how she entered the service of The Hearthkeeper, where she eventuality ascended to become their Name. At one point, The Zabbaleen wanted to use the Webbed Door to craft a new Name for themselves, and the Hearthkeeper proposed that the Modiste did that for them. She spun the Door, felt the threads of Glory on her fingers, then tugged at them, weaved them, and pulled the Spindle out of the light; her true inspiration! One could not exist without the other; thus, they were known as Modiste-and-Spindle, a new Hour loyal to both the Hearthkeeper and the Zabbaleen, who has received their weaved Name, as promised.
The Collision, however, brought great destruction. The Spindle, always tied to its origin, the Glory, would have pulled the Modiste with it to their shared doom, so the Demarq-s severed them apart. The Modiste was saved, and watched the Spindle become Halted. She could not live without a pair, though, especially not as an Hour. Thus, she found the Mannequin, from the King's House, which lost its pair in the Collision, too. From that day on, they are known as Modiste-and-Mannequin.
