Feyre Archeron begins as a starving human huntress who kills a faerie to feed her family and is taken to the Spring Court, where she falls in love with Tamlin and endures Amarantha's deadly trials Under the Mountain, dying and being remade as High Fae. In A Court of Mist and Fury, she struggles with trauma while Tamlin's protectiveness becomes imprisonment, and she is drawn into Rhysand's Night Court, where she finds healing, friendship, training, and her true mate. By the book's end she has become a formidable wielder of powers gifted by multiple High Lords and a spy in the Spring Court, feigning a return to Tamlin to protect her chosen family against Hybern.

Description

A young woman with golden-brown hair that she often braids or leaves unbound, tan freckled skin from outdoor life, and a slender frame that has filled out into a woman's soft curves at waist and hips. Her slightly uptilted eyes and sharp cheekbones stand out on a face that once showed hollow cheeks from hunger. Callused hands bear scars and dirt, and a black ink tattoo of intricate swirls with a feline eye on her left palm and arm marks her later bargain. A slender female High Fae with brown-gold hair and gray-blue eyes. Her left fingers, hand, wrist, and forearm to the elbow bear dark ink, including an eye tattoo in the palm. Her hair can be worn loose in soft curls or arranged in braids and pinned styles.
